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.
Clinical study to investigate the efficacy and safety of savolitinib in combination with osimertinib versus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in participants with EGFR mutated, MET-overexpressed and/or amplified, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed on treatment with Osimertinib.
EEG is an important test in the diagnosis epilepsy. The test does not hart, however many electrodes are attached to the child's scalp and situation is stressful. In order to achieve cooperation some use sedative drugs such as Chloralhydrate in young children. The investigetors believe that the integration of medical clowns in the EEG test can distract the children from the stressful environment and encourage them to cooperate. This can prevent the need of using sedation, can improve the quality of the test and improve the child's and parent's experience. One hundred children ages 1-10 years of age performing EEG test at the Bnai Zion medical center will be randomly divided into two groups. One group will the perform the test in the regular practice, and in the other half, medical clowns will be part of the test. The process will be rated by the child, his parents, the EEG technician and the physician reading the EEG. The two groups will be compared in all assessed measures through a statistical analysis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Daratumumab, Bortezomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (DVRd) followed by Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel versus Daratumumab, Bortezomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (DVRd) followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.
Currently, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has no cure putting prevention-strategies in the forefront for impeding the public health and personal consequences of this devastating disease. Seven major potentially modifiable risk factors show consistent association with AD (midlife type 2 diabetes [T2D], midlife hypertension, midlife obesity, physical inactivity, depression, smoking, and low educational attainment), with combined population-attributable risk of 30%1. A recent extensive literature review of randomized control trials on single lifestyle interventions for AD yielded negative results. The multidomain preDIVA2,3 (Prevention of Dementia by Intensive Vascular Care) and MAPT4,5 (Multidomain Alzheimer Prevention Trial) studies raised concerns regarding the multidomain approach. The multidomain lifestyle model approach of the FINGER6,7 study (Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability) brought some optimism after it presented positive results; several replication trials around the world have been launched8. However, 1) all trials focus on the elderly, 2) the impact of midlife risk factors on dementia risk is stronger than late life, and 3) the neurodegenerative changes in AD begin decades before its clinical manifestations9. A recent study showed that 2 or more cardiovascular risk factors in midlife (but not late life) predicted amyloid aggregation10. Main goals: To examine the feasibility and provide pilot data on effectiveness of a novel "real-life" personalized 18-months intervention for prevention of cognitive decline in middle-aged individuals (age 40-65-year-old) at high AD risk due to AD parental family history. We will implement an approach "diary-monitoring" ("Risk factors log" which will filled daily by participants, using the REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) software's survey) with study team guidance. We hypothesize that daily risk-factors documentation in personal "Risk factors log" will increase participant's engagement in the intervention and will enable the study team to accumulate health information, in order to improve support and counselling for improvement of risk factors. In addition to examining the feasibility of our approach, we will explore its effectiveness in both improving risk factors values, as well as improving cognitive function by comparing the HAPPCAP-AD intervention group to "control group". Last, our study will lay the foundations for a strong long-term large-scale preventive intervention in the future. We will compare this group to a partially passive control.
Study RIN-PF-303 is a multinational study designed to evaluate the superiority of inhaled treprostinil against placebo for the change in absolute forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline to Week 52.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of pirtobruitinib (LOXO-305) to ibrutinib in participants with CLL/SLL. Participants may or may not have already had treatment for their cancer. Participation could last up to six years.
Finerenone works by blocking a group of proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptor. An increased stimulation of mineralocorticoid receptor is known to trigger injury and inflammation in the kidney and is therefore thought to play a role in CKD. Empagliflozin lowers blood sugar levels by increasing the excretion of glucose from the blood into the urine. In this study, the researchers want to learn how well the combination of finerenone and empagliflozin helps to slow down the worsening of the participants' kidney function compared to either treatment alone. For this, the level of protein in the urine will be measured. The investigators also want to know how safe the combination is compared to either treatment alone. Depending on the treatment group, the participants will either take the combination of finerenone and empagliflozin, or finerenone together with a placebo, or empagliflozin together with a placebo, once a day as tablets by mouth. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. Importantly, the participants will also continue to take their other current medicine for CKD and T2D. The participants will be in the study for up to 7.5 months and will take the study treatments for 6 months. During the study, participants will visit the study site 7 times. The study team will: - collect blood and urine samples - check the participants' vital signs - do a physical examination including height and weight - check the participants' heart health by using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - monitor the participants' blood pressure - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they may be having An adverse event is any problem that happens during the trial. Doctors keep track of all events that happen in trials, even if they do not think the events might be related to the study treatments.
Induction of labor is a common obstetric procedure. Foley catheter is recommended by WHO for cervical ripening. Insertion is typically speculum guided but digital insertion has been reported to be faster, better tolerated and with similar insertion success rate compared to speculum guided insertion in a mixed population of nulliparas and multiparas. We evaluated the ease, maternal satisfaction and success rate of digital compared to speculum guided insertion of Foley catheter for induction of labor in parous women with unripe cervixes based on Bishop score<6.
Objective of the trial. To define a sub-population which is at increased risk of developing Parkinson, beyond the fact of carrying Gaucher; in this sub-population the investigators shall conduct a comprehensive evaluation that includes a variety of non-invasive tests, whose purpose is to evaluate the state of the pre- Parkinson's disease signs, signs which can appear, even twenty years before the appearance of the disease, and also to compare them to a group of diagnosed Gaucher patients and a group of healthy people who are not carriers of Gaucher disease. A group of those carriers will be available for trial or for treatment, if there will be a medicine for the prevention of the development of Parkinson, obtainable.
GoCheck has developed and deployed a home-based visual acuity test that may be used in-office or in residence. The test methodology utilizes modified ATS and ETDRS protocols with Sloan optotypes, crowding bars and sophisticated algorithms. The objective of this study is to determine if the results of the GoCheck visual acuity test performed in an office setting correlate to the same testing when implemented in the residence
