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.
Lately the investigators found that patients with severe factor XI deficiency and inhibitors could undergo major surgery with a single low dose of recombinant factor VIIa and tranexamic agent. These results encourage us to apply this treatment in clinical trial setting to patients with severe factor XI deficiency undergoing surgery instead of blood product.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the use of NMB's percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) Balloon.
This is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, active treatment, parallel group induction study in subjects with moderately-to-severely active Crohn's disease. Subjects will receive one of two doses (500 milligrams once daily, 500 milligrams twice daily) of GSK1605786A for 12 weeks. The primary objective of the study is to induce clinical response (Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] decrease from baseline of at least 100 points) and/or remission (CDAI score less than 150) with GSK1605786A at Week 12 in subjects with active Crohn's disease to qualify subjects for enrolment into a 52 week maintenance study (CCX114157). Secondary objectives will include assessment of the safety and evaluation of the efficacy in induction of clinical response or remission. Safety will be assessed by recording of adverse events and assessment of changes in clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs and electrocardiogram. Population pharmacokinetics will evaluate the two doses of GSK1605786A. Health outcomes assessments will include changes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire, SF-36, EQ-5D, and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Crohn's Disease.
Obesity is increasing all over the world in adults, adolescents and children,and is followed by morbidity, including the metabolic syndrome. Hypothesis: Among obese adolescents there is a subgroup with impaired glucose homeostasis The aim of the study is to identify adolescents with impaired glucose metabolism, 12-18 years, among high risk diabetes prone population, for diagnosis and treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the SD unique device is effective in treatment of overweight and obesity.
The purpose of this study is to examine if internet supervised by pedometer will contribute to enhance the amount of physical activity at leisure time by obese children. The investigators hypothesize that using pedometer will increase the amount of physical activity done by obese children in the afternoon and will improve the likelihood of success in the intervention program.
Examine neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation, in relation to other neutrophil functions like chemotaxis, superoxide production, hydrogen peroxide production, and the presence of myeloperoxidase, in pediatric patients undergoing chemotherpy for solid and hematological malignancies. This data could shed new light on the mechanism responsible for the increased susceptibility to infection among these patients and aid in improving their prophylactic antimicrobial treatment. NETs formation against tumor cell lines and their ability to kill tumor cells will also be examined. The finding of NETs activity against tumor cells could have a major contribution to the investigators understanding of the function of the immune system against cancer.
Few clinical evidence for the Contour 3D Tricuspid Annuloplasty Ring exists; therefore, in order to position this product on the market, a post-market release study was completed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the Contour 3D® Tricuspid Annuloplasty Ring following Tricuspid Valve (TV) repair in a post-market environment.
This global Belimumab Pregnancy Registry will collect prospective data on pregnancies and pregnancy outcomes on a voluntary basis in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who have received commercially supplied belimumab within the 4 months prior to and/or during pregnancy. The registry will also evaluate outcomes of infants born to mothers who were exposed to belimumab within the 4 months prior to and/or during pregnancy. This registry will add to the current clinical experience with belimumab and will complement reproductive data from animal toxicology studies. It will also assist clinicians in weighing the potential risks against the benefits of treatment for individual patients with SLE. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) will sponsor the Belimumab Pregnancy Registry in countries where it holds Marketing Authorization.
A pragmatic, multicentre, randomized double-blind controlled trial with an intention-to-treat analysis, of the use of preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) for aneuploidy by means of microarray comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) for the chromosomal analysis of the polar bodies (PB) of oocytes collected after ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF), and with the intention to assess the genetic competence of oocytes of advanced biological age, and the effect of this technique on reproductive outcome.
