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.
This study will evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect and safety of bimatoprost SR compared with selective laser trabeculoplasty in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are not adequately managed with topical IOP-lowering medication for reasons other than medication efficacy (e.g., due to intolerance or nonadherence).
The study hypotheses is that the introduction of dose escalated thiotepa, in substitution to busulfan or melphalan, will reduce toxicity after allogeneic transplantation while improving disease eradication in patients with lymphoid malignancies not eligible for standard transplantation.
In this study we test Diclofenac and Nepafenac and compared patients experience and comfort following administration of these ophthalmic drops.
Three-dimensional functional Metabolic Imaging (3D MIRA) is a new infrared imaging technology using the Real Imager 8 (RI8) developed by Real Imaging. This technology generates 3D metabolic maps of the breast and based on sophisticated machine learning technology, provides objective risk assessment for the presence of malignant tumor in the breast. The procedure is non-invasive, comfortable and does not involve ionizing radiation. It is based on acquiring infrared images of the breast. Those images are processed and analyzed by computers to provide the objective risk assessment. The technology is intended to be used as a screening tool for breast cancer and emerges as highly useful in women for whom screening mammography is sub-optimal, such as women with dense breast. 3D MIRA is unaffected by breast density and is therefore ideal for evaluating patients with mammographically dense breasts. Real Imaging is continuously developing the technology including image acquisition hardware and objective analysis of the imaging biomarkers. To further improve and optimize this novel metabolic imaging technology, Real Imaging will introduce an improved imaging device. The purpose of this clinical study is to collect more imaging data in order to establish superiority of the newer device over the previous one. The investigators hypothesize is that the new device will be at least as good as the previous one.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of Dynamic PET/CT as a tool to assess disease response to anti-cancer therapy in Lung Cancer patients.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is usually treated with chemoradiotherapy. While the effects of this treatment on cochlear function is well characterized, its effect on vestibular function is not well studied. In this study the investigators will study the vestibular function of 50 patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy for NPC both before and after treatment in order to better define its effects. All patients will undergo a validated questionnaire (dizziness handicap index), posturography, audiometry and vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials.
The purpose of this study is to determine if abatacept is effective in the treatment of early rheumatoid arthritis.
Valganciclovir (VGC) is extensively used for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection treatment and prophylaxis after solid organ transplantation (SOT). VGC dosing is problematic in children. VGC has variable absorption and is renally excreted. Area Under the Curve (AUC) (0-24) of 40-60 mcg∙h/L is a predictive pharmacokinetic parameter of efficacy and safety. Dosing based on manufacturer recommendations is supra-therapeutic in most cases. A few published dosing algorithms result in AUC out of range. Objective: To prospectively validate a VGC administration dosing regimen and compare it to other dosing algorithms. Methods: Children after SOT at Schneider Children's Medical Center, the largest tertiary pediatric center in Israel, were prospectively studied, starting Dec 2014. The dosing regimen was derived from Seattle Children's Hospital guidelines; 14-16 mg/kg/dose. For impaired renal function, stratified dose reduction was used. Blood was withdrawn at steady state: 2, 5 and 10 hours post dosing. Drug level was analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Assessing efficacy of punctal dilatation with insertion of perforated punctal plugs for the management of acquired punctal stenosis due to allergic conjunctivitis in otherwise healthy patients.
M.M.A.TECH Ltd. product is an Acetabular Liner Family produced of an advanced polyimide - MP-1™.
