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.
Adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors is associated with improved outcomes in chronic myeloid leukemia patients. Hence, improved adherence might improve CML patients' prognosis. Decreased adherence is a common problem in such patients, with non-adherence in up to 30% of patients in several studies. Recently, an emphasis has been placed on improving patient's adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in these patients. However, there is no prospective high-quality evidence showing that adherence can be improved in these patients. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that adherence-encouraging interventions improve adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia patients.
Primary Objective: To assess, in the same study, the safety of sarilumab and tocilizumab in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were inadequate responders to or intolerant of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the True Human Monoclonal antibody Xilonix (MABp1) can prolong the life of colorectal carcinoma patients that are refractory to standard therapy.
This open-label, Phase I study will evaluate the impact of severe hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics and safety of vemurafenib in participants with BRAF V600 mutation positive cancer. Participants will receive vemurafenib 960 milligrams (mg) (normal hepatic function) or 720 mg (severe hepatic impairment) orally twice daily (BID) on Days 1 to 20 (morning dose) and from Day 27 onward until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
Open-label, randomized, active-controlled, two-arm Phase III study to compare the efficacy and safety of AEZS-108 and doxorubicin.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is an immune mediated chronic intestinal condition. It includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease(CD). probiotics have been shown to be effective in varried clinical conditions ranging fron infantile diarrhea, necrotizing enterocolitis,helicobacter pylori infections, etc.
Leumit Health Services, an health maintenance organization operating in Israel, will incorporate a web-based, decision support system for handling drug-drug interactions and drug information, termed DDI+ reinforced with patient specific pharmacogenetic data. The investigators hypothesize that implementing such a system will reduce health-care expenditures (e.g., hospital admissions, referrals to ERs, Imaging procedures).

This open-label, multi-center, three-period, one sequence study will investigate the effect of vemurafenib on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin in patients with unresectable BRAFV600-mutation positive metastatic melanoma or other malignant tumor type that harbors a V600-activating mutation of BRAF without acceptable standard treatment options. Patients will receive multiple doses of vemurafenib in Periods B and C and a single dose of digoxin in Periods A and C. Eligible patients will have the option to continue treatment with vemurafenib as part of an extension study (NCT01739764). The anticipated time on study treatment is approximately 36 days.
HF represents a major burden in the developed world. Mortality and rehospitalization rates post-discharge in patients admitted with HF may be as high as 15%-30% within 60-90 days, respectively. Given that rehospitalization drives much of the cost associated with HF, there has been increased interest in predicting risk of rehospitalization as a means to control health care costs. These risk stratification models can serve as important clinical tools by helping to identify those patients who are at very high risk may be observed more closely or treated more intensively. The most important predictors for the combined endpoint of death or rehospitalization were admission serum creatinine concentration, systolic blood pressure,admission hemoglobin level, discharge use of ACE-Ior ARBS, and Pulmonary disease. Other independent predictors during hospitalization of readmission and mortality included low admission Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score, high BNP, hyponatremia, tachycardia, hypotension, absence of b-blocker therapy, and history of diabetes and arrhythmias. Nevertheless, both models fail to provide the treating physician a simple decision making tool for predicting which patient is stable enough to be discharged from the hospital without a high risk of readmission. The Non Invasive Cardiac System (NICaS, Israel), calculates the cardiac output by measuring impedance cardiography in a tetra-polar mode, derived from electrodes placed on both wrists or one wrist and the contra-lateral ankle. This simple to operate, non-invasive technique was validated in a few studies to be reliable in estimation of CO compared to traditional, invasive techniques in different settings including HF patients. A previous study demonstrated that parameters derived from this system showed a highly significant correlation to echo estimated EF and serum BNP in chronic HF patients and were equally able to predict complications in this population. Aim:To assess whether the NICaS system can identify high risk HF patient for readmission prior to their discharge compared to serum BNP measurement.
