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.
Screening programs for high-grade ovarian carcinoma failed to reduce disease-specific mortality, since they do not offer early enough detection of the disease. Most cases of high grade ovarian cancer develop in the fallopian tubes, hence the universal recommendation for high-risk populations (e.g., BRCA1/2 mutation carriers) is to undergo risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) around the age of 40. The aims of this trial are: (1) to identify novel early-stage disease biomarkers using liquid biopsies obtained through uterine lavage, and (2) to optimize the technique a of uterine lavage and the processing of the samples for ultimate implementation as a routine diagnostic test for high risk populations.
The purpose of this study is to characterize specific brain signals elicited by motor disturbances and errors in stroke patients. The patients will perform a motor task using both their affected and unaffected hands. There are two types of errors: low level errors and high level errors. While disturbances (low level errors) have been shown to elicit P300, uncorrectable actions (high level errors) have been shown to elicit ERN. These event related potentials (ERP) have been extensively studied in healthy subjects including a recent paper from our Lab.
When to start anticoagulation in patients with an acute ischaemic stroke and atrial fibrillation (AF) is a relevant unanswered question in clinical practice. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are highly effective for secondary stroke prevention in these patients, but DOACs were never initiated <7 days after stroke onset in recent trials. The ELAN trial will determine the net benefit of early versus late initiation of DOACs in patients with acute ischaemic stroke related to AF. The main objective is to estimate the net benefit of early versus late initiation of DOACs in patients with acute ischaemic stroke related to AF. The secondary objectives are to assess all vascular events and all-cause mortality after early initiation of DOACs in patients with acute ischaemic stroke related to AF compared to late initiation.
This is an open-label, multicenter, non-randomized extension and long-term observational study. Participants receiving atezolizumab monotherapy or atezolizumab combined with other agent(s) or comparator agent(s) in a Genentech or Roche-sponsored study (the parent study) and who continue to receive study treatment at the time of the parent-study closure and do not have access to the study treatment locally are eligible for continued treatment in the extension study. Dosing regimen for a given participant and indication will be the same or equivalent to the respective parent study protocol. Study treatment in the extension study can continue until disease progression or beyond if the patient continues to derive clinical benefit as judged by the investigator and if allowed by the parent study or local prescribing information until death; withdrawal of study consent; unacceptable toxicity; pregnancy; patient non-compliance; or study termination by the Sponsor, whichever occurs first.
The investigators wish to characterize alterations in the architecture and function of immune cells in patients with a primary immunodeficiency that also develop inflammatory bowel disease. In addition, The investigators' goal is to characterize the microbiome of these patients, in order to determine whether specific microbial alterations are related to inflammation.
Introduction: Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease in which the underlying condition causes permanent damage to the conducting airways. Bronchiectasis is associated with considerable morbidity and poor quality of life. While cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common cause of bronchiectasis in childhood, non-CF bronchiectasis is associated with a wide variety of disorders. CF bronchiectasis patients show reduced daily habitual physical activity and exercise capacity. Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is increasingly gaining importance in clinical medicine and considered the gold standard exercise test for assessing aerobic exercise capacity. The test objectively evaluates exercise physiological functions, may help assess morbidity and predict the outcome and mortality in different clinical circumstances and may serve as a basis for individualized exercise prescription within the limitation of the disease. Unlike CPET in CF, there is a paucity of data on exercise capacity using CPET in non- CF bronchiectasis patients, and on the implications of physical activity on non- CF bronchiectasis morbidity and mortality. Aim: To evaluate and compare exercise capacity in CF and non-CF bronchiectasis patients. Methods: This will be a cross-sectional retrospective/prospective study population. The retrospective study will include data analysis of patients that preformed CPET as part of their clinical evaluation. In the prospective study, patients that are scheduled to perform CPET as part of their clinical evaluation will sign (or legal guardian) informed consent prior to participation. Patients will be recruited from the exercise clinic at the Pediatric Pulmonary Institute at the Rappaport Children's Hospital. Inclusion criteria: 1. Children and adults (age >7 years, height >125cm), with CF and non CF bronchiectasis. 2. Completed a maximal CPET test according to accepted criteria; (maximal VO2 > 80% predicted, maximal heart rate > 80% predicted, acceptable RER (RER > 1.0 in children (under 18 years), RER > 1.05 for adults) or reaching a VO2 plateau..3. Evidence of bronchiectasis in computed tomography (CT). Exclusions criteria: preforming submaximal CPET, lack of data from the exercise test, exacerbation of patient's condition within three days before the exercise evaluation, relevant related chronic diseases that affecting test results.
The aim of this study is to prospectively examine the relationship of the uterine junctional zone thickness, evaluated by ultrasonography and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment outcome. The study hypothesis is that the uterine junctional zones of women who did not achieve pregnancy will be thicker than those of the women who do achieve pregnancy
The purpose of this study is to investigate learning transfer from the healthy hand to the paretic hand in stroke patients. EMG signals from the healthy hand - while performing wrist dorsi flexion movement - will be used to activate electric muscles stimulation of the dorsi flexors of the paretic hand.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two parsaclisib treatment regimens in participants diagnosed with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) who are naive to or were previously treated with a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.
Obtaining vital signs and blood pressure (BP) in particularly, as part of a pediatric Emergency Department (ED) patient triage is sometimes difficult and leads to many false negative results. The stress, noisy environment and lack of cooperation are only a few of the things that interfere with proper vital signs measurements. In the past decade, there has been a rapid growth in the presence of therapeutic clowns in hospitals, particularly in pediatric settings. The investigators speculate that the incorporation of a medical clown during the procedure of blood pressure measurement in the triage will shorten the procedure and decrease the number of attempts, making it much more efficient.
