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.
No head to head comparisons between exenatide once weekly and liraglutide have been performed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare exenatide once weekly to once-daily liraglutide with regard to HbA1c, body weight, subject-reported outcomes, and other clinical benefits. The study includes a 26-week treatment period and a safety follow-up visit 10 weeks after the final study drug dose.
The purpose of this study is to help answer the following research question(s): - To test if taking LY2599506 for 12 weeks controls blood sugar better than taking glyburide for 12 weeks. - To evaluate the safety of LY2599506 in participants with diabetes. - To determine if LY2599506 has the ability to control blood sugar in participants with diabetes. - To determine how much LY2599506 should be given to participants. - To determine if LY2599506 has an effect on a participant's weight. The study design consists of 4 study periods: a screening period, a 4-week dose adjustment period, an 8-week treatment period, and a 4-week follow up period.
The study will assess the pharmacokinetics (part A) safety, tolerability, and efficacy of prophylaxis treatment (2 to 3 times a week) (part B) with BAY81-8973 over a one year period (split into two six month treatment periods). The study will compare 2 different methods (assays) for measuring the amount of study drug, the chromogenic substrate assay per European Pharmacopeia (CS/EP) with the classical assay (Chromogenic Substrate Adjusted, CS/ADJ). During one six month period patients will receive the study drug where the dose has been measured using the" (CS/EP) and during the other six months period the dose will be measured based on the Chromogenic Substrate Adjusted assay CS/ADJ)
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether lenalidomide would reduce the number of red blood cell transfusions (RBC) needed in anemic (RBC transfusion-dependent) participants with low or intermediate-1 risk MDS without a deletion 5q chromosome abnormality. The study also investigated the safety of lenalidomide use in these participants. Two-thirds of the participants received oral lenalidomide and one-third of the participants received oral placebo.
Introduction: Postpartum depression (PPD) occurs in large numbers of women (between 10 - 20%) and substantially affects both their own well-being and their offspring's mental and emotional development. Whereas PPD is a form of major depression, its etiology is probably related to a combination of biological (hereditary, hormonal etc.), and psychological factors. In practice, most women suffering from PPD do not seek treatment, or are treated with psychotherapy alone due to concerns regarding pharmacotherapy. This is despite the obvious importance of reaching a rapid remission in these women. In fact, data regarding the treatment of PPD with antidepressants is surprisingly sparse and is limited to only one blinded and placebo-controlled study (with fluoxetine) and a number of studies without a placebo arm . The reason for the paucity of double-blinded placebo-controlled studies is probably due to 3 main limiting factors: Firstly, the reluctance of women to "admit" to and seek professional help due to depression, Secondly, the difficulty to administer antidepressant medication to lactating women, and, Thirdly, the ethical difficulties in designing a study with a real placebo group. In contrast to the very limited number of drug studies in this population, there are a number of studies that have shown the efficacy of psychotherapy in the treatment of PPD. Positive studies have been published using different types of psychotherapy, including cognitive, dynamic and interpersonal psychotherapy. The investigators propose to study the efficacy of psychotherapeutic treatment in women suffering from PPD with add-on sertraline in a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled design. To overcome the difficulties described above in studying antidepressants in the postpartum period, the investigators propose to include active brief dynamic psychotherapy for all women. Furthermore, the investigators will selectively allow inclusion of women who only suffer from either mild or moderate major PPD (not severe / suicidal) . Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that women with PPD randomized to the arm receiving psychotherapy + active sertraline will show a greater response rate than the psychotherapy + placebo group. Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that the difference in response between the 2 groups will demonstrate a significant early response in the active sertraline group.
This study provided/continued to provide oral treprostinil (UT-15C SR; treprostinil diethanolamine) to eligible subjects who participated in Studies TDE-PH-202, TDE-PH-203, TDE-PH-205, TDE-PH-301, TDE-PH-302, and TDE-PH-308. The study assessed the long term safety of oral treprostinil and the effect of continued treatment with oral treprostinil on exercise capacity after 1 year of treatment.
Mechanically Ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) often present with fever, and purulent sputum, but without radiological evidence of pneumonia. These patients may have tracheobronchitis. Some suspect that this condition precedes the development of pneumonia. Antibiotic treatment in tracheobronchitis is controversial. The investigators will recruit patients with tracheobronchitis and randomize them into 2 groups. One group will be treated with antibiotics and the other group will serve as control.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single intravitreal injection of AGN208397 to treat Macular Edema associated with Retinal Vein Occlusion. This study is being conducted in two stages: Stage 1 will enroll approximately 21 subjects who will receive a single open label intravitreal injection of either 75 ug, 300 ug, 600 ug or 900 ug of AGN208397 and be followed for 12 months post treatment; based on Stage 1 results, Stage 2 will enroll approximately 96 subjects who will receive a single masked intravitreal injection of one of three doses of AGN208397 or Ozurdex® and be followed for 12 months post treatment.
The study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (the determination of the concentration of the administered drug in blood over time) of recombinant Factor VIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) in previously-treated subjects with severe hemophilia A.
The purpose of this study is to show that a certain protein called haptoglobin protects against preeclampsia which is a common pregnancy complication.
