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 purpose of this study is to determine whether Rituximab, in the same doses as used in rheumatoid arthritis patients, will benefit pemphigus patients. It also tests immune function via the Cylex assay in pemphigus patients before and after treatment with RItuximab.
Silicosis is well-known occupational disease caused by free crystalline silica (silicon dioxide) and is marked by inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis. There are cumulative evidences that exposure to Caesar stone (quartz surface products that manufactured from up to 93% quartz, polymer resins and pigments) is particularly dangerous to exposed workers. Goals: To examine marble workers exposed to Caesar Stone in order to propose a working plan of surveillance and prevention by biological monitoring.
This was a six-month open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the safety of long-term nabiximols (Sativex®) therapy when used as an adjunctive treatment in participants with advanced cancer. The study provided continued availability of nabiximols to participants who completed a preceding Phase 3 study and new (de novo) participants.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of BCT197 on acute kidney injury in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
This Phase II study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rhuMAb Beta7 in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the lung and there is a high unmet medical need for effective treatment to halt lung function decline, delay or avoid exacerbation (flare-ups), and ultimately to reduce the death rate. In a large Phase 2 trial (1199.30) (NCT00514683), investigating the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with BIBF 1120 in patients with IPF, a positive effect was seen on lung function of patients treated with high dose of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo. Hence it is the purpose of this trial to investigate and confirm the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 at a high dose in treating patients with IPF, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised design with the aim to collect safety and efficacy data. Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in IPF patients. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in IPF patients.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the addition of Elotuzumab to Lenalidomide/low-dose Dexamethasone will increase the progression free survival (PFS)
The goal of this research project is to develop and evaluate an intervention to reduce young child tobacco smoke exposure
Background: Motor impairment limits social and recreational activities in children with cerebral palsy (CP), compromising participation and impacting on quality of life. Improvement of motor function by medical treatment may advance in participation of outdoor activities and expand social and recreational activities. While Botulinum toxin (BTX) injections are effective and safe treatment for spasticity in children with CP, there is insufficient evidence for improvement of motor function and enhanced participation in this population. Objective: To examine outdoor activity as a functional outcome following lower limb BTX in children with CP. Methods: In this pilot study the investigators will use Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to measure walking speed, distances, number of walking events and destinations in ambulatory children with CP following BTX injection to the lower limbs; age and gender matched sibling will be studied as a control group. Outdoor activity will be measured at 1, 3 and 6 months following BTX treatment will be compared to baseline and to those of siblings. Outdoor activity will be correlated with leisure activity preferences and quality of life questionnaires. Significance: Improvement in outdoor activity following BTX injections in this pilot study will assist construction of a larger study evaluating participation and quality of life in children with CP.
