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.
Open label, one year extension study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 12 mg sublingual tizanidine administered once nightly in MS patients who successfully completed Phase I/II protocol C2/5/TZ:MS-05 at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Department of Neurology, Dr. Arnon Karni, PI.
At least 20% of patients hospitalized in the general medical and surgical wards at any given time suffer from diabetes. It has been demonstrated that poor clinical outcome correlates with the degree of hyperglycemia in these patients. Strict glucose control in hospitalized patients improves clinical outcomes in the setting of acute myocardial infarction, cardiac surgical procedures, infection and critical illness in patients hospitalized in intensive care units if insulin is applied intravenously. It is, however, complex to obtain strict glucose control in the general surgical and medical wards. These wards are usually understaffed as compared to intensive care units and therefore are incapable to perform the necessary close monitoring essential in patients treated with intravenous insulin. We intend to test the feasibility of glucose control by multiple daily subcutaneous injections with long acting basal glargine insulin and pre-meal insulin analogues. If good glucose control can be achieved, this would be a valid, more convenient and acceptable alternative to intravenous insulin infusions to obtain good glucose control in diabetic patients hospitalized in general internal medicine wards.
Endothelin-1 is a powerful substance that may be involved in causing hemodynamic instability (problems related to unstable blood pressure) during and after open heart surgery. Tezosentan is an investigational intravenous drug that blocks the endothelin receptors. This clinical trial will assess the potential benefit of tezosentan compared with placebo in the treatment of patients undergoing open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Treatment time is from the start of surgery up to 24 hours.
The current study aims at comparing outcomes achieved using the Mifne approach of treating autistic children with results obtained when routine standard treatment is used. A prospective comparative study will be performed comparing the results of 12 children treated at Mifne with 12 children treated with treatment as usual. A child and adolescent psychiatrist using the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Generic (ADOS-G) will make the diagnostic assessment and a developmental psychologist will make the developmental and psychological assessments using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Revised and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID II) before the child enters the study. Each child will be reassessed following completion of the Mifne intervention, at three and at six months after commencement of treatment. The control child will also be reassessed at three and at six months after commencement of a therapeutic intervention.
This multi-center, prospective, cohort study of 394 subjects that are indicated for standard colonoscopy due to suspected or known colonic disease examines the Given Diagnostic System and the PillCam Colon Capsule in comparison to standard colonoscopy. This study aims a. To evaluate and compare the accuracy of PillCam ™ Colon capsule endoscopy (PCCE) with standard colonoscopy. This study will evaluate the safety of PillCam ™ Colon capsule endoscopy (PCCE)
This study is for patients with ErbB2 overexpressing breast cancer that has spread to the brain and is still progressing there even after radiation treatment using WBRT (whole brain radiotherapy) or SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery) to the brain. The study will determine how safe and effective lapatinib is when given in combination with capecitabine to treat patients with ErbB2 overexpressing breast cancer that has spread to the brain. Lapatinib is an oral drug that will be taken every day. Tests for safety and efficacy will be performed regularly during the course of the study.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, multinational study. Approximately 78 subjects (39 per treatment group) will be randomized into this 16 week study. A screening visit will be used to determine subject suitability for inclusion in the trial. Within 7 days of the screening visit, subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to 1 of the following 2 treatment groups: - Olanzapine OD plus betahistine 24 mg BID (48 mg/day total), - Olanzapine OD plus matching placebo BID. Double-blind treatment will continue for 16 weeks. During this period, olanzapine dosage will be determined according to the discretion of the treating physician. In addition, 5 study visits (at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks) will take place. Study medication (betahistine or matching placebo) will be administered BID (in the morning and together with olanzapine in the evening). The primary statistical hypothesis to be tested is that the mean change from Baseline to Week 16 will be different between the treatment and placebo groups
The purpose of the Optimize RV study is to determine the long-term effect of selective site pacing. Selective site pacing refers to which area of the right ventricle the lead is placed. The goal of select site pacing is to improve how the heart contracts when paced in the ventricle. By pacing in select sites, it is possible to better copy the natural pattern of contraction of the heart.
The purpose of this 4 week study is to determine whether PASER®, an approved delayed-release oral formulation of 4-aminosalicylic acid, in doses of 4 grams three times daily for 2 weeks followed by 4 grams twice daily for 2 weeks, will resolve an acute flare of ileocecal Crohn's disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention (geriatrician, physical therapist and occupational therapist falls risk assessment and intervention)is effective in the falls prevention in the community dwelling elderly.
