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.
Partial Nephrectomy is the standard care for small (<4 cm) renal tumors. Despite the expanding use of laparoscopic approach, debate exist regarding the short and long term outcomes compared to the open approach. Our goal is to perform a prospective randomized trial to compare these methods
The first magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment of uterine fibroid using the ExAblate 2000 system was performed in 2001. Since then, more than 5000 treatments were done in more than 60 different hospitals around the world. The experience accumulated in this novel treatment was collected by InSightec and implemented into software and hardware updates, clinical tips and guidelines, all aimed to improve the clinical results and their durability, while maintaining a high level of safety. Based on extensive clinical experience and our internal research and development effort goals toward continuous improvement in ExAblate treatment safety and performance, limited changes have been made to the current ExAblate system. This modified ExAblate system version is designated as the ExAblate 2100 UF V2 system. The modifications are believed to improve system's friendliness to the user, without introducing new risks or other issues of safety of the device, and should not have any negative impact on the safety or technical efficacy of the treatments for patients.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of allopurinol, compared to placebo, as add-on to mood stabilizers and/or antipsychotic in the treatment of patients with bipolar disorder, in a manic episode.
The performance of the ColonRing™ will be comparable to or better than the reported performance of staplers.
This extension study will assess the safety and efficacy of AIN457 versus placebo for maintaining uveitis suppression when reducing systemic immunosuppression
The study is an open prospective study of coronary flow preferably of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), by a Transthoracic Parametric Doppler (TPD) system during conventional exercise stress test. The system is a noninvasive non-imaging device designed to monitor coronary flow velocity and display the data continuously during exercise stress tests. The system enables continuous monitoring of coronary flow during resting, stress loading and recovery phases. The study intent is to improve the stress test predictive value for CAD.
The present study investigated the long-term (12 months) effect of spironolactone treatment on glucose homeostasis, metabolic parameters and vascular properties.
Parkinson disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative illnesses. The disease is characterized by decrease in dopamine levels and decrease in the number of dopaminergic neurons and dopamine receptors. There are gene mutations that increase the risk for the disease. Two of those mutations are on the LRRK2 gene and on GBA gene. It is yet unknown if there is a difference between the metabolic brain function of Parkinson patients that carry one of the two mutations to Parkinson patients with no known mutation. Participants: diagnosed Parkinson patients that carry a gene mutation in either LRRK2 or GBA genes, Parkinson patients with no known mutation and healthy volunteers as a control group. The participants will go through both examinations DAT SCAN and PET CT SCAN at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center Nuclear Medicine Institute. The examination results will be given to the participants by a doctor from the neurology department.
Parkinson Disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative illnesses. First degree relatives of Parkinson patient are in high risk for developing the disease. We will try to detect early changes in brain metabolism before the appearance of Parkinson symptoms. Participants: first degree relatives of diagnosed Parkinson patients that carry a gene mutation in either LRRK2 or GBA genes. The examination results will be given to the participants by a doctor from the neurology department.
The primary objective of phase 1 of this study is to establish the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). The primary objective of phase 2 of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bendamustine at the recommended pediatric dose for the treatment of pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia.
