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 was to determine the efficacy, based upon overall survival, of ruxolitinib added to capecitabine for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This two-part, part 1: open-label extension (OLE) and part 2: safety monitoring (SM) study will examine the efficacy and safety of continued etrolizumab treatment in moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) participants previously enrolled in etrolizumab Phase II/III studies. Participants with moderate to severe UC who were enrolled in the Phase II OLE study (GA27927 [NCT01461317]) or the Phase III studies (GA28948 [NCT02163759], GA28949 [NCT02171429], GA28950 [NCT02100696], GA29102 [NCT02165215], and GA29103 [NCT02136069]) were included. Participants from the Phase II OLE study or the Phase III studies who are not eligible or willing to receive etrolizumab in the OLE-SM study, and who have completed the 12-week safety follow-up period will be enrolled in Part 2. Part 1 of OLE-SM will continue for up to 9 years after the first participant is enrolled into the study. Following Part 1, participants will enter Part 2 for a period of 92 weeks.
It is well established that CD8 and CD4 T cells reactive against defined islet antigens are associated with initiation and progression of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). In previous work, we have demonstrated that it is possible to redirect T cells against pathogenic T cells via chimeric peptide/MHC/CD3-zeta receptors in a peptide-specific manner and to prevent, or inhibit diabetes in NOD mice. In this study we intend to extend this approach to T cells of T1D patients. Working hypothesis: Beta cell-reactive CD8 T cells of human T1D patients can be immuno-targeted by their own gene-modified cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Aims: Our major aim is to demonstrate, in a set of ex-vivo experiments, such immunotargeting with T cells derived from T1D patients at the Ziv Medical Center. To this end we will stimulate and expand autoreactive CD8 cells in blood samples of T1D patients and target them, ex-vivo, with genetically-reprogrammed CTLs which are present in the same blood samples.
The objectives of this study are to assess safety and to evaluate the biologic activity of TARGTEPO treatment.
This is a two part study comparing CHS-0214 to Enbrel in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response with Methotrexate (MTX) who are naive to biologic therapies. Pt.1 is a 24-week randomized, double-blind, active-control, parallel-group, multi-center global study. The primary end point is 20% improvement in American College of Rheumatology criteria (ACR-20) at week 24. Comparing CHS-0214 to Enbrel for efficacy and safety. Pt. 2 is an open-label single arm study in which patients with at least an ACR-20 response receive CHS-0214. Continued response and safety will be evaluated.
The aim of the study is to test the safety and efficacy of BL-8040 (a CXCR4 antagonist) in improving the response to imatinib in CML patients not achieving an optimal response with imatinib alone.
The proposed study aims to explore brain mechanisms mediating the cognitive benefits of aerobic exercise in patients with mild cognitive impairment- a prodromal stage of Alzheimer disease. We will perform FMRI experiments, as well as laboratory and behavioral tests that will advance our knowledge about the nature of these mechanisms. Participants will participate in individual- tailored aerobic training program. Pre and post evaluation will identify brain changes following the training using advanced techniques of brain imaging. Cognitive performance will be assessed prior and at the end of the program, as well as endocrine markers reflecting improvement in learning abilities. Moreover, demonstrating cortical plasticity in subjects with aMCI has tremendous practical significance for these subjects .
More than 11 million women in the United States suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the involuntary leakage of urine during everyday activities that put temporary stress on the abdomen and bladder, such as laughing, coughing, and walking. For women with SUI, this pressure often causes urine to leak involuntarily. SUI affects women of all ages including young mothers, pre-menopausal women, and seniors, and can result in significant emotional distress. Current solutions for SUI include disposable pads, behavioral treatment (pelvic floor physical therapy) and surgical intervention. Patients with SUI who failed conservative treatment and wish to be further treated by a surgery may require further work-up by urodynamic study in which abdominal leak point pressures (ALPP) defined and reflect the severity of SUI. There is continuous need to develop less invasive treatments for SUI that could minimize the use of pads, could be an alternative to painful, costly surgical procedure. The Trendlines Group lab solution is a non-surgical alternative in the treatment of SUI. The concept of the future treatment solution is based on simple physics: injecting a small amount of air into the urinary bladder, which eliminates or greatly reduces involuntary urinary leakage. The air bubble acts as a "shock absorber" to reduce the temporary pressure increase in the bladder that causes urinary leakage. The concept for the new treatment has been tested in a lab environment using lab jig tests and pig urinary system (bladder and urethra). The lab tests showed significant improvement in the bladder pressure when the treatment was implemented by suspending the stress pressure to a level that will not cause urine leakage.
This study is a prospective, multi center, randomized, controlled study of the VasQ in arteriovenous fistulas. The VasQ constraints and directs the geometrical parameters of the fistula as well as the vascular diameter and gradient in the vicinity of the AV shunt. These geometrical constraints direct flow and influence hemodynamics, and hence minimize turbulence and promote laminar flow. The device is designed to improve short term maturation and long term patency of the fistula. The VasQ is a permanent implant intended for use as a subcutaneous arteriovenous conduit support for vascular access.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban compared with placebo in the prevention of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) events and VTE-related death post-hospital discharge in high-risk, medically ill patients.
