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.
The main purpose of this study is to compare how long patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer live after receiving nivolumab and ipilimumab or nivolumab and chemotherapy compared with patients receiving chemotherapy alone.
There is no standardized protocol regarding the post-operative radiographic follow up of patients that sustain pertrochanteric hip fractures and are treated with closed reduction and internal fixation. The policy in the investigator's institution as in other hospitals is to conduct a radiogram of the operated hip during the first days following operation after the patient bore weight on the fixated femur. The investigator's goal is to asses the added value of this policy and to offer recommendations regarding this specific followup component.
Abstract: Urinary Stress Incontinence (USI)- is a discomforting condition that negatively affects the quality of life of many female individuals and frequently treated by surgical intervention. The incontinence curative operations revolutionized at 1995, with the introduction of the first retro-pubic sub-mid urethral synthetic sling, firstly named Intra-Vaginal Sling-plasty (IVS) and then Tension Free Vaginal Tape (TVT), by Ulmsten and Petros. This was later proposed to be done trans-obturatorly (TOT), for avoiding operative bladder injuries. Among other peri-operative complications attributed to the commonly used anti-incontinence TOT are the thigh and groin pain. These pains are subjects of concern for patients and physicians worldwide. Another, rare yet very disturbing post-operative complication is erosion of the polypropylene tape into the vagina. TOT palpation at vaginal examination was claimed to be a predictive sign for future erosion of the polypropylene tape into the vaginal cavity. This current study aims to compare TVT-Abbrevo procedure (12 cm polypropylene tape, Ethicon J&J Somerville, NJ, USA ) to Serasis procedure (softly knitted monofilament non-absorbable polypropylene, Serag-Wiessner, Naila, Germany) for the cure of USI. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, the safety and the cure rate of both procedures, as well as documenting the post-operative immediate, and long term thigh and groin pain levels, and dyspareunia. This study is aimed to evaluate the palpability of the implanted tapes at vaginal examination and the possible relation of this to further vaginal tape exposure. Investigators hypothesized that using Serasis tape, which is made of a softer polypropylene material than rather rigid TVT-Abbrevo polypropylene tape might result in lower pain levels at the short and long term post-operative course, as well as to reduced tape palpability and exposure to the vaginal cavity. investigators believe that favorable results for this study might improve patients' post-operative quality of life and overall satisfaction.

The primary goal of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention for parents to reduce tobacco smoke exposure of young children
This study looked at how effective the study drug (tepotinib) was at stopping the growth and spread of lung cancer. This study also measures a number of other things including safety of the study drug and the side effects, how body processes the study drug, or how the study drug affects your quality of life. The study also has an optional pharmacogenetic research part. Pharmacogenetic research is an important way to try to understand the role of genetics in human disease and how genes impact the effectiveness of drugs, because differences in genes can change the way a person responds to a particular drug.
The goal of the present study was to look at the effect of changing walking parameters on the dynamic walking characteristics among children post severe traumatic brain injury, children with cerebral palsy and typically developed controls.
The aim of the USECARE project is to improve and test SENACA, an ICT-based self-management support system for chronically ill patients and informal caregivers. 60 end-users will be instructed to use SENACA for approx. 3 months (in Israel and Norway). Amongst others, clinical and behavioural outcomes will be recorded. Additionally, SENACA's usability will be evaluated to determine its potential future scalability.
The study is a prospective, randomized controlled phase III trial, to test the efficacy, safety and neurocognitive outcomes of advanced NSCLC patients, following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for 1 inoperable brain metastasis or 2-10 brain metastases, treated with NovoTTF-200M and supportive treatment compared to supportive treatment alone. The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.
The therapeutic approach to the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the premature neonate remains controversial. Currently it is generally accepted to treat only hemodynamically significant PDAs. The current investigation aims to study the effect of treatment on PDAs of borderline significance via a prospective, randomized controlled trial of paracetamol in this group.
The primary purpose of the study is to demonstrate that lenvatinib in combination with everolimus (Arm A) or pembrolizumab (Arm B) is superior compared to sunitinib alone (Arm C) in improving progression-free survival (PFS) (by independent imaging review [IIR] using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST 1.1]) as first-line treatment in participants with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
