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.
The purpose of this study was to collect safety and tolerability data on LCZ696 in eligible PARADIGM-HF patients who received open-label investigational drug. The parent PARADIGM-HF (NCT01035255) trial was terminated early due to compelling efficacy of LCZ696 in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) after the final pre-specified interim analysis in March 2014.
The purpose of this study is to assess a new technique of measurement for the levator muscle. this measurement may be applied during a clinical evaluation of eyelid malposition. our purpose is to quantify the levator muscle strength and to corelate it to standard levator muscle strength assessment techniques routinley used in the oculoplastic clinic.
Hypo Sense is a non- invasive method for detection of hypoglycemia. The Hypo Sense combines an array of non-invasive sensors which monitors the patient's physiological parameters (heart & respiration rate, perspiration, skin temperature and arm motion) designed as a wrist watch device. The Hypo sense is intended for monitoring symptoms of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients in hospital environment among type 1 and type 2 diabetes adults as an adjunctive device to reference methods The proposed study will be consisting of two main segments: The primary aim of segment 1 of the study is data collection and calibration of the Hypo Sense sensor prototype compared to standard invasive reference glucometer. The primary aim of segment 2 of the study is to validate the Hypo Sense prototype performance in detecting hypoglycemic events. During the first segment of the study we intend to collect in parallel measurements of blood glucose using reference method (capillary glucometer) and continuous data generated by the non- invasive study device during approximately 4 hours, in which a hypoglycemic event will be induced. The reference and study device data will be analyzed using multivariate regression model to formulate a calibration algorithm model. This model will translate the set of the physiological recorded parameters into detection of hypoglycemic events. During the second segment of the study we intend to evaluate the validity of the Hypo Sense sensor ability to detect hypoglycemic events compared to standard invasive reference method (capillary glucometer).
To investigate the potential antiepileptic effects of cannabidiol (GWP42003-P) in children and young adults with Dravet syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether mechanical cervical ripening (using the Cook double balloon catheter) is superior or inferior to pharmacological agents (PGE1) in overweight and obese women undergoing labor induction.
Due to its prevalence worldwide, osteoporosis is considered a serious public health concern. The worldwide annual incidence of Osteoporotic fractures is approximately 2 million in the US only. Hip fracture is associated with serious disability and excess mortality. Studies have shown that an initial osteoporotic fracture is a major risk factor for a new fracture. An increased risk of 14.8% for a secondary hip fracture has been demonstrated in people that have already sustained a fracture in the past 4 years (In average). These data indicate the major opportunity afforded by secondary fracture prevention strategies. By responding to the first fracture, we can reduce the incidence of second and subsequent fractures. However, even after longer medical follow-up according to regular standard of care, medical treatment and rehabilitation, the medical system has been unable to translate the eminent risk into an effective preventive treatment.
The study will assess the efficacy and safety of PF-06438179 and infliximab in combination with methotrexate in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to methotrexate.
The investigators wish to study the effect of Vitamin D on the development of autism in children. The investigators will also investigate the environmental and genetic influences on the level of Vitamin D in children with autism.
Stem cell transplantation will continue to be a treatment option for patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia, despite the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. However, many patients will have received prior therapy with TKIs, including Nilotinib or Dasatinib at the time of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. While the use of Imatinib prior to stem cell transplantation seems to have no adverse impact on the outcome of allogeneic stem cell transplantation little is known on the impact of prior use of second generation TK inhibitors. Therefore this non interventional prospective study addresses this question and patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation after prior use of 2nd generation TKIs will be followed by the data office office on engraftment, treatment related mortality, relapse rate and survival, prospectively. Details on TKI therapy will be collected by the participating centers, retrospectively. This is a non interventional prospective study. There is no upper limit to the number of patients entered, but it is estimated that up to 450 patients will be included in 150 centres for this non interventional prospective study. The registry will include patients for three years plus one more year for follow up and data analysis which should then be followed-up until the projected end of the non interventional prospective study.
Hypersalivation (sialorrhea or ptyalism) is known as a frequent, disturbing, uncomfortable adverse effect of clozapine therapy that can lead to noncompliance. Until now there is no effective enough treatment for this side effect. Previous studies demonstrated that different medications from the substitute benzamide derivatives group: amisulpride, sulpiride (higher selective binding to the D2/D3 dopamine receptor) and moclobemide (reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A, which inhibits the deamination of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine) may be effective as a treatment of clozapine-induced hypersalivation (CIH). Moreover, there is another substitute benzamide derivative: metoclopramide (dopamine D2 antagonist, usually used as antiemetic medication in general medicine). The investigators hypothesis assumes that anti-salivation effect characterizes the whole group of benzamide. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of metoclopramide as an optional possibility for management of CIH.
