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.
Comparison of Pulmonary Complications related to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding.
Study designed to measure simultaneously the width of both lateral ventricles of the fetal brain. Thus, will enable to evaluate the normal asymmetry that may exist between the right and the left ventricles during the pregnancy.
The researchers hypothesized that nonobstructive azoospermia might be associated with a reduction OF SSCs in seminiferous tubules as compared with obstructive azoospermia. Testicular sperm specimens that had been previously extracted from azoospermic patients will be paraffin embedded and stained with anti GPR-125. After antigen retrieval, the sections will be incubated with rabbit anti GPR125 followed by Cy3-conjugated anti rabbit secondary antibodies. Those found to be SSCs will be counted using light microscopy, and compared between patients with obstructive (n=11) and non-obstructive azoospermia (n=9).
This is an open-label, single treatment study. All subjects will receive 12 months of oral contraceptive therapy with DR-102. Study participants will receive physical and gynecological exams, including Pap smear. During the study, all participants will be required to complete a daily diary.
This study will evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of PDS 1.0 in patients with neovascular AMD.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of bimatoprost/timolol formulation A ophthalmic solution with Ganfort® (bimatoprost 0.03%/timolol 0.5% ophthalmic solution) once daily for 12 weeks in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Identification of the presence of proangiogenic immune cells in normal human placentas may enable predication of some pregnancy disorders.
Existing methods of diagnosing and treating skin lesions are either surgical, which enables an histological diagnosis or destructive (electrodesiccation, liquid nitrogen, laser, caustics) with no possibility of obtaining histology. The ingredients of current formulations for in-vivo skin fixation (Mohs, Solcoderm) are unstable, inconvenient for application and painful - therefore their use was abandoned. The investigators will examine the safety of stable formalin-free formulations for in-vivo fixation of human skin lesions .These formulations were safe and had a rapid onset of fixation effect in in-vivo animal studies.
Preclinical studies showed that metronomic chemotherapy can induce tumor regression secondary to apoptosis of the tumor blood vessels. This effect was increased by combining metronomic chemotherapy with anti-angiogenic drugs. Metronomic chemotherapy has already proved clinical effects too, especially on patients with breast or prostate carcinoma. This study is aimed to test the efficacy of an experimental metronomic chemotherapy regimen in a cohort of patients with ovarian cancer. Patients will receive the proposed regimen as maintenance treatment following response induction by the conventional maximal tolerated dose (MTD) regimen of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel. Our regimen will include Cytophosphan combined with two agents which are expected to act as indirect angiogenic inhibitors: (a) celecoxib, as a selective COX-2 inhibitor and (b) low-dose Methotrexate, as successfully practiced for suppressing the inflammatory manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis. All components of our regimen will be administered orally and continuously for one year based on the hypothesis that its anti-angiogenic properties will be able to suppress the recovery of residual disease, thus extending the time to progression (TTP), and possibly the overall survival as well.
Mastocytes were proven to have a central rule in their development of the lipoid plaque of the vascular system. Mastocytes also has an important role in the stabilisation of the plaque in the building of the brain barrier. Different animal studies show that the inhibition of the mastocyte activity decreases significantly the risk of secondary bleeding post ischaemic stroke.It was also shown that post stroke inflammation process was also blocked by the inhibition of mastocytes.Other studies showed up to 100% decrease in the brain barrier disruption and post stroke oedema, after treatment with mastocyte inhibitors. Cromolyn is a synthetic drug which has an anti-allergic effect by inhibition of the mastocytes. This drug is a well known,safe drug and is the main sub-substance that was used in the previously mentioned studies.
