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, in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) pregnancies, induction of labour at 38-39 weeks of pregnancy is superior to expectant management in terms of maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder in children (2-3%). OSAS in turn, is associated with significant behavioral, learning, and heart problems. Adenotonsillectomy (T&A, meaning the removal of tonsils and adenoids) is the most common treatment for the problem .Diagnosis of OSAS in children is based on overnight polysomnography (sleep study). Recent studies suggest that upper airway and systemic inflammatory changes exists in school-age children and adults with OSAS, and that anti inflammatory therapy can improve respiratory parameters during sleep and reduce adenoid size, similar to surgery. However, there are no data in the literature on inflammatory changes in infants with the disorder. Healthcare resources utilization, a sensitive marker for diseases is consumed by young children (<3y) with OSAS more then healthy children, from their first year of life We hypothesize that infants and young children with OSAS present local inflammatory changes of the airways as well as systemic inflammation (in the blood or urine) that contribute to the learning, growing and heart associated medical problems. The Aims of the present study are to characterize the local and systemic inflammatory changes of young children with OSAS, and to evaluate their associated medical problems at diagnosis and after therapy (T&A) If indeed inflammation is "responsible" for the development of OSAS at such a young age it should be reduced following therapy (i.e. T&A). In such a case bio-markers may become a part of the algorithms for diagnosis and follow up of such patients.
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity. The benefit of surgical treatment in this respect is unclear. This study was performed to evaluate the impact of parathyroidectomy (PTX) on cardiovascular risk profile.
To evaluate the clinical performance of the PRO-Kinetic ENERGY® coronary bare metal stent system in a patient population within that defined in the Instructions for Use.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and usability of the Solo™ insulin MicroPump in subjects with type 1 diabetes who are pump users.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. This may be an effective treatment for extensive stage small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is comparing how well radiation therapy to the brain works when given with or without radiation therapy to other areas of the body in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer.
To assess the incidence of occult hepatitis C virus in hemodialysed patients with mild impairment of liver enzymes
The purpose of this study is to provide access to telaprevir for patients from the control group in the C216 study, who failed treatment for virologic reasons. Efficacy, safety and tolerability of telaprevir in combination with standard treatment will be evaluated.
To evaluate the overall response rate of the combination of 5-azacitidine + Lenalidomide in high risk MDS patients (INT-2 and High risk defined by IPSS), and patients with low and int-1 who are considered to be at high risk due to unfavorable additional factors. - To evaluate the safety of the combination of 5-azacitidine + Lenalidomide in high risk MDS patients. - To evaluate the hematological improvement rate. - To evaluate the cytogenetic response rate. - To evaluate the Progression free survival (PFS). - To assess Quality of life.
This open-label study will assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of oseltamivir [Tamiflu] in 3 cohorts of infants, aged 0-30 days, 31-90 days and 91-<365 days with influenza infection. Patients will receive 10 doses of intravenous oseltamivir [Tamiflu] therapy over 5 or 6 days. Optional oral therapy with oseltamivir [Tamiflu] may be considered following the intravenous dose associated with pharmacokinetic blood sampling. Evidence of continued virus shedding at day 6 can allow for up to 5 additional days (10 doses) of oral or intravenous administration. Anticipated time on study drug is 5-11 days. Target sample size is <50 patients.
