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 is a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of refametinib when given in combination with sorafenib as first line treatment in patients with unresectable or metastatic HCC carrying a RAS mutation. The study will be conducted in 2 stages. Approximately 95 patients (15 at Stage 1/ 80 at Stage 2) will be accrued to this study to receive treatment. Stage 2 of the trial will only be conducted if at least 5 out of 15 patients at Stage 1 show at least partial response according to an objective criteria to evaluate tumor size based on contrast enhancement [modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST)] assessed by external independent radiologists. Refametenib is an oral (i.e. taken by mouth) protein kinase inhibitor. A kinase inhibitor targets certain key proteins that are essential for the survival of the cancer cell. By specifically targeting these proteins, refametinib in combination with sorafenib may stop cancer growth. The growth of the tumor may be decreased by preventing these specific proteins from functioning. The primary endpoint (the most meaningful result to be tracked) of this study is based on the rate of response, i.e. the disease getting smaller. The aim is to show that the therapy with refametinib in combination with sorafenib improves the response rate in this patient population compared to historical results observed with the sorafenib only.
The purposes of this study are to: i) confirm and improve the accuracy of the correlation between levels of Zinc in prostate tissue and the grade of prostate cancer in that tissue as determined through pathology; and ii) determine the levels of zinc in prostate tissue declared as non-cancerous by pathology and located in the vicinity of tissue declared as cancerous by pathology, and verify that the Zinc levels for the declared non-cancerous tissue are lower (statistically significantly) than the levels for benign tissue not in the vicinity of cancerous tissue.
The purpose of this study is to examine a possible link between the time of day of exposure to a traumatic event and the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder. Clinical and biological correlates will also be examined from this perspective.
1. To examine whether Ritalin has analgesic properties in healthy subjects. 2. To examine if Ritalin analgesic effect is a pain specific phenomenon or a part of a broader, non-specific effect on high mental functions.
Prospective, single center, postmarket clinical study to obtain clinical experience with the use of SERI® Surgical Scaffold for soft tissue support and repair in breast reconstruction.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether oral administration of Indigo Carmine together with Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), the usual colon preparatory solution, can be used instead of staining during the examination itself.
The purpose of this prospective study is to determine whether comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation is superior to usual disease management in the treatment of patients with heart failure with preserved systolic function (HFpEF) recently discharged after an acute heart failure event. The investigators hypothesize that the addition of bi-weekly structured exercise training and interaction with medical personnel will lead to a greater reduction in all cause hospitalization and mortality while providing additional functional and clinical benefits such as exercise capacity, quality of life and well-being. Furthermore the investigators seek to establish clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic predictors of hospital readmissions and cardiovascular events in the predefined HFpEF population.
The present study sought to examine the efficacy of two oral anesthetic drugs in reducing the pain associated with neonatal frenotomy.
Clinical, psychophysical, behavioral or genetic factor will predict the response to opioid treatment in patients with chronic neuropathic pain.
The purpose of the study is to add to the knowledge of mechanisms of immune health. Parameters of the immune system will be followed over time in volunteers allergic to dust mites and bee sting after receiving immunization therapy. This information will be compared to healthy volunteers without allergy. We aim to bring new understanding of immune processes by this comparison.
