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 Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, dose-ranging study will compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of cicletanine hydrochloride (HCl) to placebo in subjects with PAH. Study drug will be administered alone, or on the background of stable PAH therapy. The study will consist of 3 periods: a screening period, a 12-week placebo-controlled treatment period, and a long-term, blinded extension period.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an intraarticular injection of Ozone into the knee joint is an effective therapy for pain control in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
The purpose of this study is to determine if apixaban is superior to placebo for preventing cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke in subjects with a recent acute coronary syndrome
This study is designed to assess, relative to placebo, the effects on the evolution of exercise capacity and symptomatic status of the addition of iron treatment with FCM (ferric carboxymaltose) to the basic regimen of ambulatory patients with stable symptomatic chronic CHF (congestive heart failure) and iron deficiency.
The study will evaluate how effective and how safe the drug micafungin is when compared to the drug amphotericin B deoxycholate in treating neonates and young infants with certain fungal infections.
This is a multi-center, open-label study of sitaxsentan sodium 100 mg taken orally once daily by subjects with PAH until sitaxsentan, in a particular country or region, is commercially available for the treatment of PAH or the study is closed.
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) has been suggested to be the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the general population in the Western World. In advanced stages of NAFLD, steatohepatitis (NASH) develops characterized by: steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis progressing to cirrhosis in some patients. The knowledge of the role of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in the pathogenesis of NASH has led to the proposal of probiotics as a therapeutic strategy for this disorder.
There is growing evidence to conclude that part of the cascade leading to heatstroke is related to an inflammatory reaction triggered by the heat stress. The reduced ability to sustain heat stress - "heat intolerance" is also attributed to over-expression of inflammatory cytokines. Acclimation to heat improves human sustainability to heat and is a leading protective factor against heat stroke. The investigators hypothesize that the lower stress encountered during the process of acclimation to heat will be reflected by an over-ride in the expression of anti-inflammatory over the pro-inflammatory cytokines. This, in turn will attenuate the pathological cascade leading to heat stroke.
The relation between obesity and ischemic heart disease (IHD) is under considerable debate. The reduction in all-cause mortality and, more specifically, the reduction in cardiac-related mortality seen after weight-loss surgery, may be due to regression or slowing developement of subclinical IHD. Function of cells lining the arteries (endothelium) is closely related to the state of IHD and its measurement can serve as a surrogate marker for the existence and severity of IHD. The investigators hypothesize that the prevalence of undiagnosed IHD in the morbidly obese population is high and that following surgery for weight reduction there is a halt in the progression, or even a regression in its severity. The study includes measurement of endothelial function before and after weight-reducing surgery.
