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.
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) can be regarded as one of the "epidemics" of the western world. DM contributes to severe morbidity and mortality due to damage in the target organs (neuropathy, vasculopathy, nephropathy, retinopathy). It affects the quality of life of the patients because of increased rate of blindness, IHD, stroke, end stage renal failure, hemodialysis and lower limb amputations (LLA).The Diabetic Foot (DF) is defined as destruction or infection of tissue/s in the foot of diabetic patients due to neurological damage and / or different levels of Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD). Diabetic foot complications are the most common cause of lower extremity amputations in the industrialized world. The lifetime occurence of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) is 20% in diabetic patients. Between 15% - 25% of the foot ulcers will lead to lower limb amputations. It has been shown that Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) could be an effective therapy for many diseases including acute respiratory distress syndrome, spinal cord injury, liver injury and critical limb ischemia. Stem cells can be obtained from either the patient (autologous) or non-related healthy donors (allogeneic). The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of cultured Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (BM-MSCs) from allogeneic donors for treatment of chronic leg wounds of diabetic patients.
Ambrosia is known for its allergenicity in the USA causing hay fever and asthma. Israel has always been considered "clean" of Ambrosia but over the past years growth of Ambrosia plants has been detected in several locations in Israel. In the proposed study, patients referred for routine allergic evaluation will also be skin tested with Ambrosia allergens, in addition to their regular prick skin tests with all other airborne allergens.
study objectives are to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two doses of MG01CI (1400 mg and 700 mg) to Placebo for the treatment of symptoms in adults diagnosed with PI-ADHD. subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three treatment sequences as follows: 1. week 1:1400 mg, week 2:700 mg, week 3:placebo 2. week 1:700 mg,week 2: placebo,week 3:1400 mg 3. week 1: placebo, week2:1400 mg, week 3 700 mg The study will consist of three periods: a screening period of up to one week, a 3-week double-blind treatment period, and a one-week safety follow-up period.
The investigators will be comparing ultrasound-guided (USG) ankle block and anatomic landmark-guided (ALG) ankle block to determine which of these procedures is better in surgical anesthesia and in postoperative pain relief.
To compare the performance of standard of care (SOC) + episil® versus SOC alone on oral mucositis in patients receiving conditioning treatment for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The primary variable will be the area under the curve (AUC) of oral mucositis scores defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) oral toxicity scale assessed daily by the investigator over the 28-day study period.
The investigators hypothesize that Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection may influence the population of lung immature myeloid cells and dendritic cells in a way that will impair their ability to invoke an effective immune response and lead to prolonged inflammation, angiogenesis and scarring. This may lead in turn to disturbed lung function. Our aim is to determine the presence and phenotype of immature myeloid cells present in respiratory secretions of children with RSV bronchiolitis as compared to non-RSV bronchiolitis and healthy controls.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether rivaroxaban is safe to use in children and how long it stays in the body. There will also be a check for bleeding and worsening of blood clots.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of gevokizumab in the treatment of active non-infectious intermediate, posterior, or pan- uveitis.
End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a severe clinical state of irreversible loss of endogenous kidney function, shortening life expectancy, if left untreated. In the state of ESRD, over 5000 uremic toxins are accumulated in the body causing dysfunction of various organ systems. The survival of these patients depends on renal replacement therapies, such as hemodialysis (HD), which artificially purifies the blood from toxins. The investigators assume that some of the uremic toxins are also present in the patient's exhaled breath, and could be detected by a non-invasive and highly sensitive test: a NA-NOSE artificial olfactory system. It is based on analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a novel, non-invasive field in medical diagnostics. The NA-NOSE is made from an array of nanosensors, and was developed by our collaborator Dr. Hossam Haick (Chemical Engineering, Technion). In the current study, the investigators utilize this technology to identify VOCs in the exhaled breath of dialysis patients, and to characterize certain patterns of expression that could potentially help in future monitoring of HD adequacy. The investigators plan to collect 150 breath samples from patients before and during dialysis, and from healthy subjects. All participants provide a signed informed consent. Subsequently, analysis of samples will be done at Dr. Haick's laboratory, using Gas-Chromatography/Mass-Spectrometry and parameters extracted from each sensor response.
This study is designed to test the effect of an explanation about the first sleep following trauma exposure, on the development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the months following the traumatic event.
