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.
Breast milk is a unique and unmatched nutritional and non-nutritive source of bioactive factors for the health and development of infants.Colostrum, which is produced in low quantities for the first 3 to 4 days after birth, is rich in immunologic components and developmental factors. Breastfeeding difficulties during the first days of life of an infant are common. Moreover, not all infants can be directly fed at the breast. Therefore, breast milk feeding at this early stage is initiated and promoted by the expression of breast milk either manually or by use of a pump. Whether the method of milk expression at this stage has a qualitative impact on colostrum is currently unknown. The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to compare the effect of manual expression with electric pump expression upon the macronutrient composition of breast milk.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) harbors a high risk for brain metastases. Prophylactic whole brain radiotherapy (PCI)) is the standard treatment for these patients after completing chemo-radiotherapy to the chest, with a 5% survival advantage. Recent data suggest minimal risk for hippocampal involvement in these patients. There is no published data thus far testing the effect of hippocampal sparing during WBRT on the patient's neuro-cognitive function, QOL, and survival.., The goals of the proposed study are to assess prospectively the neurocognitive changes in patients with LD SCLC who are candidates for PCI before, and periodically after PCI
Bronchiolitis is an acute lower airway infection caused by a viral infection. It is a major cause of winter admissions to pediatric wards. Accepted therapies include oxygen support and IV fluids, whereas other supportive therapies such as inhalations are of questionable benefit. Moderate to severe cases are a source of distress to patient, parents and medical staff often necessitating Pediatric Intensive Care Unit admission. Heated Humidified High Flow Nasal Cannula (HHHFNC) therapy has been shown lately to improve the work of breathing, oxygen saturation, and CO2 pressure (PCO2) values as well as decrease PICU admissions and intubation rates. We planned a prospective and retrospective study in order to check the feasibility of using HHHFNC in a primary pediatric ward and its effect on clinical well being, respiratory status and PICU admission.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the objective response rate (complete response [CR]+ partial response [PR]) of the selected dose regimen in participants with metastatic or surgically unresectable urothelial cancers that harbor specific FGFR genomic alterations.
The aim of this clinical trial is to determine whether a novel combination antibiotic treatment (vancomycin/daptomycin + beta-lactam) is superior to the standard antibiotic treatment (vancomycin/daptomycin) for hospitalised adults with Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia. The hypothesis is that the addition of beta-lactam antibiotics (these are antibiotics from the penicillin family) to the standard therapy will lead to more efficient bacterial killing and hence lead to faster clearance of bacteria from the blood stream and other areas of infection, thereby reducing the risk of the spread of infection and death. The study design is an investigator-initiated, multi-centre, open-label, randomised controlled trial. This will include 440 participants diagnosed with Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia recruited over a period of 4 years (July 2015 - June 2019) from within Infectious Diseases inpatient units across 21 hospital sites including 18 from within Australia and 3 located in Singapore. Participation will be voluntary and subject to informed consent. The participants will be randomised 1:1 to either the standard therapy group or combination therapy group. The combination therapy will include a treatment of intravenous beta-lactam for the first 7 days of treatment, in addition to the standard treatment (either vancomycin or daptomycin). The primary outcome measure will be complication-free survival 90 days post randomisation.
This is a prospective study, where the investigators will monitor pregnant women at 4-23 weeks of pregnancy coming to the "Women- E.R." at "Meir" Hospital due to spontaneous -or after intercourse- bleeding or bleeding secretions. The women will fill out questionnaires regarding past illness, vaginal bleeding, and gynecologic history. Then they will undergo full examination including ultrasound. After discharge, the investigators will recommend to all the women who came due to bleeding or bleeding secretions to avoid intercourse for two weeks after the bleeding stops. Afterwards they will be monitored until their delivery date (filling questionnaires a month after coming to the E.R. and at the end of the pregnancy). After they give birth the investigators will assess the rate of pregnancy, obstetric and embryonic complications in each of the study groups.
Remedor has developed a patented technology (RMD-G1), which comprises erythropoietin (EPO) as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in a carbopol-based hydrogel with an FN matrix. RMD-G1 was designed to maintain EPO stability and activity over long periods and to optimize the administration of EPO onto the wound bed. RMD-G1 is indicated for treating DFUs in adult patients with diabetes mellitus and aims to accelerate the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. RMD-G1 is an adjunct treatment, and not a substitute for good diabetic wound care, which includes initial debridement, wound cleansing, pressure relief, and infection control. In this trial, RMD-G1 is applied daily onto a clean wound at 0.25g per sq. cm. wound surface. After its application, the wound will be covered with a dressing in order to prevent leakage of the hydrogel and contamination of the wound area.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MT-3724 in subjects with relapsed or refractory B-Cell NHL or relapsed and refractory CLL (Part 1 only) and relapsed and refractory DLBCL (Part 2 and Part 3). Part 3 evaluates the efficacy of MT-3724.
The main purpose in the treatment of patients with advanced cancer and cancer anorexia cachexia syndrome (CACS) is to prolong life and to improve quality of life (QoL) as far as possible. QoL in patients with CACS is directly related to loss of appetite and loss of weight. Cannabis pills are given in Israel to advanced cancer patients with various symptoms in order to improve their QoL. There is data on safety/toxicity of cannabis, and these pills are given under the regulations of the Israel Ministry of Health. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of Cannabics capsules on improving loss of appetite and loss of weight.
The investigators believe that regulated oxygen-enriched negative Pressure Therapy (RO-NPT) will be beneficial in the reduction or elimination of anaerobic infection in hard-to-heal soft tissue wounds.
