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 compared the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib to Best Available Therapy (BAT) in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) who were hydroxyurea (HU) resistant or intolerant and did not have a palpable spleen.
Suicide attempts are a serious concern worldwide. Currently, existing drugs take about three weeks to show effect on suicidal thoughts and drives. Recent evidence suggests that intravenous Ketamine exerts a rapid effect in suicidal patients, even after a single injection. We aim to examine whether oral Ketamine is a safe and effective treatment in suicidal patients. Following a suicide attempt, patients will be randomized into a group that will be given Ketamine for 21 days and one that will receive placebo, and assessed using questionnaires and brain scans. We expect early improvements in suicide scales in the Ketamine group. As a secondary goal, this study will use IV ketamine in order to access the extent to which the experience of the embodied self mediate different levels of "embodied emotion". A better understanding of these relations will assist in unveiling the cognitive mechanism underlying the therapeutic effect of ketamine
SDB has been identified as an important risk factor for insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. In a recent study in patients with SDB and T2DM it was shown that CPAP therapy can lead to improvements in postprandial glucose levels and in glycosylated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c). In children, there are only 3 studies that have examined the relations between SDB, obesity and the metabolic syndrome. In order to further understand the relative contribution of SDB to the development of impaired glucose homeostasis and metabolic abnormalities we aim to investigate the prevalence and severity of SDB in children with T2DM compared to obese children without T2DM. The investigators hypothesize that SDB will be more prevalent and more severe among obese children with T2DM compared with the general obese pediatric population.
The objective of this study is to collect heart rate, respiration data and motion data of patients admitted to sleep lab and to determine the current accuracy level of the EarlySense system vs. the standard system, and predicate device for EarlySense (Embla) used in sleep lab in monitoring heart rate and respiration rates monitors (ECG, respiratory belts, oximeter) that are currently used in the sleep lab among different population (Obese, patients with or without apnea, patients with or without arrhythmia). It is emphasized that no interpretations or clinical decisions will be made based on data received from the ES study device.
Comparison of complications between standard upper pole percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with nephrostomy placement and double J stent and PCNL with double J placement only without nephrostomy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 0.5% ivermectin cream is effective in the treatment of demodicidosis (including papulopustular rosacea)
This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the IUB SCu300A spherical copper IUD compared to the standard T shaped copper IUD, the TCu380. Participants will be followed for one year and quality of life measurements will be measured during this period as well.
The growing incidence of obesity and type2 DM globally is widely recognized as one of the most challenging contemporary threats to public health. Uncontrolled diabetes leads to macrovascular and microvascular complications, including myocardial infarction, stroke, blindness, neuropathy, and renal failure in many patients. The current goal of medical treatment is to halt disease progression by reducing hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and other cardiovascular risk factors. Despite improvements in pharmacotherapy, fewer than 50% of patients with moderate-to-severe type 2 diabetes actually achieve and maintain therapeutic thresholds, particularly for glycemic control. Observational studies have suggested that bariatric or metabolic surgery can rapidly improve glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors in severely obese patients with type 2 diabetes Few randomized, controlled trials have compared bariatric surgery with intensive medical therapy, particularly in moderately obese patients (defined as those having a BMI of 30 to 34.9) with type2 DM. Accordingly, many unanswered questions remain regarding the relative efficacy of bariatric surgery in patients with uncontrolled diabetes. This randomized, controlled, prospective multicenter study was designed to compare intensive medical therapy with surgical treatment (LRYGB or LSG) as a means of improving glycemic control in moderately obese patients (BMI 30-34.9) with type- 2 DM.
The purpose of the study is to investigate if treatment with L-Tyrosine improves selected outcome measures of TNNT1 myopathy.
Prospective trial which includes instillation of intravesical hyaluronic acid in an attempt to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections in patients after orthotopic neobladder reconstruction.
