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.
T2D and cognitive impairment are two of the most common chronic condition found in persons 60 years and older. Diabetes type 2 increases with age and studies suggest that the diabetes is one of the risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. Although there is much recent research showing that diabetics at every age have more cognitive impairment and dementia than non-diabetics, relatively little attention has been paid to the implications of this complication in the management of T2D in terms of screening, prevention, education and treatment adherence. There are now guidelines for periodic evaluation of patients with diabetes as early detection of complications of the disease, but so far there are no similar assessment and monitoring of cognitive function. In this study the investigators examine cognitive function in young diabetic patients (from 20 to 55) using the MoCa test, that allows detection of mild cognitive impairment, and may be carried out during a visit, an annual advisory diabetes clinic.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether oral finerenone (study drug), in addition to standard daily therapy, is effective and safe in treating patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic kidney disease, when compared to a placebo.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common debilitating disorder that affects many individuals exposed to aversive events. The severity of PTSD symptoms is positively correlated with amygdala activation. More severe PTSD symptoms following exposure to stressful events, are associated with amygdala hyper-responsivity prior to exposure. A possible intervention for PTSD is Neurofeedback (NF) - a treatment method based on learned self-modulation of neural activity in response to feedback of neural signal. Previous work in our lab established a NF training procedure that utilizes the temporal abilities of EEG with the spatial advantages of fMRI. Further work based on this method using the amygdala BOLD signal (EEG-finger-print, EFP) has demonstrated a potential for improving the ability to self-regulate amygdala activity and to improve emotional regulation in a healthy population. The current study aims to investigate the potential of this method as a therapeutic intervention for PTSD.
A Phase I/IIa, open-label, uncontrolled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Astarabine (BST-236) as single agent in patients with refractory or relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) disease
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, global, Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab + tremelimumab combination therapy versus platinum-based SoC chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) wild-type advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
This early phase, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of atezolizumab in pediatric and young adult participants with solid tumors for which prior treatment was proven to be ineffective.
The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate whether, in addition to standard of care, finerenone is superior to placebo in delaying the progression of kidney disease, as measured by the composite endpoint of time to first occurrence of kidney failure, a sustained decrease of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥40% from baseline over at least 4 weeks, or renal death.
A double blinded randomized controlled study comparing pre-procedural IV Paracetamol versus IV placebo (normal saline). The patients will be randomized to either receiving IV paracetamol or saline infusions before undergoing radiofrequency lesioning of two levels of medial branch nerves of the lumbar facets. The primary outcome will be potential differences in pain control. The secondary outcomes will be changes in quality of life (QoL) and activities of daily living (ADLs). We will also be comparing potential differences in the amounts of post-procedure pain medications taken by the patients in each wing of the study
The purpose of this study is to measure the performance of the ForeCYTE Breast Aspirator for the collection and processing of Nipple Aspirate Fluid (NAF) specimens for cytology. Including collecting, processing and shipping samples, training staff, processing samples, sample interpretation and accurate and timely reporting in a manner resembling routine clinical use. The study will include a subset of patients who are known carriers of a BRCA germline mutation. NAF from this subset will be submitted for molecular testing in addition to cytology.
Urolithiasis is a universal problem, a large part of patients will be affected by multiple stones throughout their lifetime, with estimated recurrence rates of 75% within 20 years. The high recurrence rate requires an increasing amount of imaging follow-up. US-NCCT real-time fusion (Fusion) enables lesion assessment and follow up using both modalities as reference for each other. Our study proposes a novel approach for short term follow up of patients using Fusion instead of repeat NCCT exams. the goal of the study is to create an initial proof of concept that Fusion is effective for follow up of known urinary stones. the study is a prospective study on Patients with an obstructing ureteral stone found on a NCCT. Patients will undergo Fusion (using General Electric Logiq E9) after NCCT. The primary endpoint was the ability to locate the ureteral stone using US with guidance of the NCCT as a "Road Map".
