There are about 9745 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Israel. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Many cancer patients, especially those with pancreatic cancer, suffer from severe lower back / upper abdominal pain. This pain is often poorly managed with standard treatments; the doses of painkiller required often induce side effects, whereas nerve block procedures (where a needle is deeply inserted into the back) are both invasive and of limited benefit. This clinical trial investigates a unique novel approach in which high-dose radiation (radiosurgery) is focused on the offending nerve bundle (the celiac plexus) in the posterior abdomen. Preliminary results from a single institution pilot trial are very promising: pain relief is substantial and side effects minimal. In this multi-center clinical trial, patients will be accrued and receive treatment at several international locations. Main aim of the study: Establish the safety and efficacy of the treatment in the multi-center setting. This trial will bring pain relief to cancer sufferers and improve current acceptable standard of care. The trial resonates with the Gateway mission of promoting new treatments that directly benefit people living with cancer, enhancing their wellbeing, and consequently decreasing the fear associated with a cancer diagnosis.
The proposed study is an extension study to two ongoing double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies evaluating the effect of gender-specific nutritional supplementation on growth of short and lean adolescent boys and girls. The aim of the current study is to extend these short term double blind, randomized, placebo controlled studies (one in boys and one in girls) and to add an extension study, which will evaluate the long term effect of the gender specific nutritional supplementation on final height. Patients completing the ongoing studies will be offered to continue treatment with the study formula until final height. Patients reluctant to continue to consume the study formula will be offered to continue followup only during the extension study without any intervention.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus epacadostat with platinum-based chemotherapy versus pembrolizumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy plus placebo as first-line therapy in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus epacadostat compared to pembrolizumab plus placebo as first-line treatment in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressing high levels of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1).
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of unilateral focused ultrasound pallidotomy using the ExAblate 4000 System in the management of dyskinesia symptoms or motor fluctuations for medication refractory, advanced idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
Dry eye complaints occur in 5.5 to 33.7% of the population, and are ranked as the most frequent symptoms of patients visiting ophthalmologists. Dry eye syndrome is caused by the reduced production and/or improper quality of the tear film. One of the causes of reduced tear production is Sjögren's syndrome. Sjögren's is estimated to affect up to 4 million patients in the US alone. It affects mostly middle aged women (40-50 years of age) with a female to male prevalence ratio of 9:1. The current study seeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LO2A ophthalmic solution in the symptomatic treatment of dry eye in patients with Sjögren's syndrome. This study will be conducted in compliance with the protocol, GCP,and applicable regulatory requirements.
L-carnitine is an amino acid that is naturally produced in the liver and kidneys, it is involved in transporting fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, it could be an important component in treating a fatty liver disease. The investigators conduct a study to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of L-Carnitine and Magnesium as a treatment for fatty liver.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and the safety/tolerability of poziotinib in seven participant cohorts for up to 603 previously treated and treatment-naïve NSCLC participant. Cohorts 3 and 4 were added with Amendment 1 and three additional cohorts were added with Amendment 2 (Cohorts 5, 6 and 7).
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of BIIB054 via dose response using the change from baseline in Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Total Score. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the dose-related safety of BIIB054, to evaluate the clinical efficacy of BIIB054 via MDS-UPDRS total score, to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of BIIB054, to evaluate the clinical efficacy of BIIB054 based on MDS-UPDRS subparts, to evaluate the pharmacodynamic effects of BIIB054 on the integrity of nigrostriatal dopaminergic nerve terminals and to evaluate the immunogenicity of BIIB054.
The aims of this survey are to assess the relationships between exposure to screens of digital media devices, sleep patterns, and daily function such as subjective sleepiness and attention abilities in adult Israel population
