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.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is prognostic indicator in heart failure patients for poor outcome, however, it is challenging for monitoring. The current study is designed to explore whether data generated using Suremedix Device including a pump and non-invasive sensors including, chest motion sensor, photoplethysmography (PPG), and Electrocardiography (ECG), can be used to identify detectable oscillations that are correlated with the mean, the diastolic and the systolic pressure values of the pulmonary artery, as measured using the gold-standard Swan-Ganz method.
Researchers in this study want to learn more about the safety of the drug runcaciguat and how well it works when given at the highest dose as tolerated by the individual patient whose kidneys are not working properly and suffering at the same time from high blood sugar and/or high blood pressure and a disease of the heart and the blood vessels. Runcaciguat is a new drug under development for the improvement of kidney function. It works by activating proteins that helps to dilate blood vessels, including vessels in the kidneys. This can improve blood flow in kidney and may slow down the progression of kidney disease. This dilative effect can also influence the heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers also wants to find the best dose of the drug during the study. Participants in this study will receive either runcaciguat or placebo tablets every morning for 8 weeks. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any active medicine in it. On a weekly basis, the dose of the runcaciguat will be increased step by step. In total, participants will visit the doctors about 10 times, and the observation will last for about 16 weeks. Blood and urine samples will collected from the participants.
In this prospective case-control study the investigators will enrolled parents of 45 children younger than five years of age who were planned to undergo adenotonsillectomy due to an obstructive airway indication in an academic medical center. A group of parents to healthy children will comprise the control group.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. The purpose of this study is to see how feasible and how satisfied participants/caregivers/investigators are with video-assisted telenursing use in nurse support programs with LCIG. LCIG is an approved drug to treat PD. Approximately 50 adult participants with advanced PD will be enrolled in the study at approximately 10 sites across the world. The study has 2 groups. In one group, around 25 participants will receive nurse support using video devices. In the second group, around 25 participants will receive nurse support without using video devices. All participants will attend a baseline visit and follow up visits at Week 4 and Week 12. The planned observation period will be 12 weeks. Participants who are prescribed LCIG by their physicians will have three study related visits. Participants, caregivers, and investigators will be asked to complete questionnaires for the study.
The effectiveness of dry needling of the Gluteus Medius muscle in combination with active exercises will be examined compared with sham needling with active exercises in low back pain (LBP) patients.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease of the joints causing pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of joint function. Despite the range of treatment options for RA steadily increasing, many patients remain sub-optimally managed, with sustained clinical remission rarely achieved. This study will assess the treatment patterns, achievement of treatment targets and maintenance of response. Upadacitinib is a drug approved for the treatment of moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis. Adult participants with moderate to severe RA who have been prescribed upadacitinib by their physicians will be enrolled. Approximately, 1660 participants will be enrolled this study, worldwide. Participants will not receive Upadacitinib as part of this study, but will be followed for response to treatment for up to 24 months. There may be higher burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits, every 3 months, during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic and will be asked to provide additional information by questionnaire at each visit.
Some children are admitted to pediatric emergency department due to epididymitis or orchitis. Some of them are treated by analgetics only whie some are treated by analgetics with antibiotics. The study will compare clinical presentation between groups and will compare pediatric urologic outpatient clinic follow up findings.
Evaluation of the effect of Epitomee Device on Gastric Emptying Rate in healthy subjects
Erectile dysfunction, the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance, is estimated to affect up to 30 million men in the United States. The disorder is age-associated. The available treatments include oral therapy, vacuum-constriction devices; shockwave therapy, intracavernosal injections of vasoactive agents, including alprostadil (prostaglandin E1, transurethral delivery of alprostadil, Implantation of penile prostheses. The OhhMed Company has developed the Vertica device that provides treatments for improvement of erectile function in patients with erectile dysfunction. This study assess the safety, efficacy, ease of use, and satisfaction of the Vertica device by men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in adults. Abnormal blood vessels grow under the macula at the back of the eye, and also leak blood and fluid, which damages and scars the macula, affecting vision. The current standard of care for patients with neovascular (exudative / wet) AMD is anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy, which prevents or slows down the growth of the abnormal blood vessels. SCD411 is being developed as a biosimilar to the reference product Eylea® (aflibercept), an anti-VEGF drug. The study aims to prove equivalence of SCD411 to Eylea in adults with wet AMD, and will look at safety, tolerance, effectiveness, immune response and the movement of the drug through the body.
