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.
Research regarding the effects of anesthesia on the central nervous system remain controversial with some studies suggesting a neurotoxic effect and others indicating a neuroprotective effect. In recent years numerous neuronal proteins have been found to be useful tools for diagnosis and prognosis of cerebral tissue damage. Among these neuronal proteins are the following markers: Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE), Tau protein, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), Ubiquitin Carboxy-Hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1). BIS is a non-invasive brain monitoring technology which monitors the depth of anesthesia. In this randomized clinical trial, we aim to examine the effect of anesthetic method (General anesthesia and neuroaxial anesthesia) on neuronal damage as measured by NSE serum levels. One hundred and forty patients aged 18 and above undergoing Transurethral resection of the prostate, Trans Urethral Resection of the Bladder Tumor, Tension Free Vaginal Tap , Trans Obturator Tension Free Vaginal Tap and pelvic floor repair surgeries will be enrolled in the study. Patients will randomly be assigned to undergo the study either under general anesthesia or with neuroaxial anesthesia. Participants will be monitored using the BIS monitor, to measure the depth of anesthesia. Additionally, 9 cc of venous blood be collected from each participant in the surgery room prior to anesthesia induction, throughout anesthesia and one hour following surgery in the PACU in order to assess NSE levels.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of cabozantinib compared with placebo on progression free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) in subjects with Radioiodine-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC) who have progressed after prior vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-Targeted therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of luspatercept (ACE-536) compared to epoetin alfa on red blood cell (RBC) transfusion independence (for at least 12 weeks) with a concurrent hemoglobin increase of at least 1.5 g/dL in participants with anemia due to revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R) very low, low, or intermediate risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who require RBC transfusions and have never been exposed to erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA).
This is a randomized, open-label, controlled, multi-center, global Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of combining durvalumab ± tremelimumab with standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy (cisplatin + gemcitabine or carboplatin + gemcitabine doublet) followed by durvalumab monotherapy versus SoC alone as first-line chemotherapy in patients with histologically or cytologically documented, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium (including renal pelvis, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra).
This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of mosunetuzumab following first-line diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) immunochemotherapy in participants with a best response of stable disease or partial response, or in elderly/unfit participants with previously untreated DLBCL, or subcutaneous mosunetuzumab in combination with polatuzumab vedotin IV in elderly/unfit participants with previously untreated DLBCL.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3745) in combination with chemotherapy (Cisplatin combined with 5-Fluorouracil [FP regimen] or oxaliplatin combined with capecitabine [CAPOX regimen]) versus placebo in combination with chemotherapy (FP or CAPOX regimens) in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma in adult participants. The primary hypotheses of this study are that pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is superior to placebo plus chemotherapy in terms of overall survival (OS).
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of risankizumab versus placebo in participants with moderately to severely active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
This is a 2-arm, randomized, open-label, international, multicenter study comparing the efficacy of ripretinib to sunitinib in GIST patients who progressed on or were intolerant to first-line anticancer treatment with imatinib. Approximately 426 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to ripretinib 150 mg once daily (continuous dosing for 6 week cycles) or sunitinib 50 mg once daily (6 week cycles, 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off).
The present study aims at refining the understanding of the effect of pregnancy on breast cancer outcomes in the specific population of BRCA mutated patients with known history of breast cancer.
MyPeBS is an international randomized, open-label, multicentric, study assessing the effectiveness of a risk-based breast cancer screening strategy (using clinical risk scores and polymorphisms) compared to standard screening (according to the current national guidelines in each participating country) in detecting stage 2 or higher breast cancers. Women will be differentially screened for 4 years and then, after an end-of-study mammogram, they will return to the routine screening practice. The main study endpoint will be measured at the end of the four years of intervention. Furthermore, follow up data will be collected for 15 years from study entry for evaluation of long-term cumulative breast cancer incidence and breast cancer-specific survival
