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.
Clinical, Airway Inflammatory, and HRA Phenotypes, in preschool children with acute asthmatic attack presenting to the ED. Background: Children under the age of 5 years have the highest hospitalization rate of asthma. The most common causes of acute exacerbations of asthma requiring urgent medical care are viral respiratory infections. Most of these children < 6 y old are not atopic. The inflammatory response to these mostly viral-induced asthmatic attacks is not well characterized in the literature. Moreover it is not known whether different kind of inflammatory responses exist in this population and how this correlate to clinical outcomes and clinical phenotypes in preschool children presenting ti the ED with acute asthmatic attack. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to: Investigate the characterization of induced sputum cytology in preschool children with acute asthmatic attack and whether there is correlation between specific sputum cytology and response to therapy and to investigate airways hyper-responsiveness to adenosine 5'-monophosphate and to metacholine in pre school children 2-6 y old at 2 weeks and at 3 month following acute asthmatic exacerbation and look for correlation with response to treatment and sputum cytology. Clinical phenotypes of this patient population will also be investigated.
This open-label, single arm study will assess the correlation between Tarceva (erlotinib)-induced rash and efficacy in participants with inoperable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving first-line therapy for advanced disease. Participants will receive Tarceva at a dose of 150 mg daily orally, with dose adjustments according to protocol depending on toxicity. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal due to any reason.
Patients with specific metastatic cancers who failed prior therapeutic regimes will be treated with NDV for at least a year or until disease progression. The study will measure progression-free disease and posits that it will be extended.
A multicenter, open label, escalating dose study to assess the tolerability and the safety and to explore the efficacy and the pharmacokinetics of ND0801 in adult patients with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of child delivery on the intraocular pressure in healthy women.
The objective of the study is to examine the treatment of unstable Intertrochanteric fractures with the short Gamma nail, compared to the use of the dynamic hip screw (DHS). This is a prospective study. Sixty patients with unstable Intertrochanteric fractures will be randomized to be treated using either Gamma nail or DHS. The patients will be followed for 12 months. The primary endpoint is the clinical outcome as measured by the Merle d'Aubigne and Postelhip score.
Strong evidence shows that physical activity (PA) has favorable psychological and health related outcomes. However, most employees do not perform enough PA to achieve health and well being benefits. Worksite interventions aimed at improving PA often yield modest effect sizes, and their theoretical ground is not profound. The Health Action Process Approach (HAPA), is a novel comprehensive theoretical model for health behavior change, that hasn't been studied as a whole in a worksite intervention study. The objectives of the proposed study are: 1. To develop a coaching-based group intervention that will be both grounded in theory (HAPA) as well as applicable. 2. To evaluate the feasibility of conducting this intervention among employed hospital nurses, using a randomized controlled design, interviews and other evaluation procedures. The proposed study will offer the most comprehensive empirical test to date of the full HAPA model.
The purpose of this Clinical Evaluation is a continuation in the assessment of the performance of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® EECSS) in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery lesions in patients (Diabetic sub-study).
Since the pathophysiology of BIPN still remains unclear, in the present study we are going to assess the development of BIPN in newly diagnosed myeloma patients, based on clinical neurological examination and electrophysiological study (EMG) and trying to find out if there is any relationship between oxidative stress generation measured by serum malonyldialdehyde - (MDA) and urinary isoprostane, and the development of BIPN, which can explain important part of the BIPN pathophysiology and can suggest new ideas of treatment and prophylactic strategies of peripheral neuropathy.
Impetigo is a common, highly infectious skin disease caused by bacterial infection and characterized by crusting skin lesions. It is most common in children, particularly children in unhealthy living conditions. In adults, it may follow other skin disorders. Impetigo is caused primarily by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes and/or Staphylococcus aureus, which can also be isolated from impetigo lesions. This is a pilot phase II study to evaluate the tolerability and safety and to monitor the clinical efficacy of Topical Minocycline Foam FXFM244 in impetigo patients.
