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.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well veliparib together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin works compared to gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin alone in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body (metastatic). Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving veliparib together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin is an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively assess whether Desmopressin, given for a period of month to patients after radical cystectomy with orthotopic bladder reconstruction, improves and lowers the rate of nocturnal enuresis.
In obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), weight loss improves insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism, resulting in improvement of clinical symptoms. Weight loss is not required in lean PCOS patients; nevertheless, the influence of meal timing and composition on glucose metabolism and hyperandrogenism may have clinical value. In this study the investigators investigate the effects of two isocaloric diets with different meal timing distribution on insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism in lean PCOS patients.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of H1-Coil deep brain rTMS in subjects with bipolar depression, taking mood stabilizers and previously unsuccessfully treated with antidepressant medications.
This is a multinational, multicenter, randomized controlled, open-label, adaptive study to evaluate the efficacy of PaCE chemotherapy in chemotherapy naive subjects with extensive-stage SCLC. Eligible subjects will be stratified according to age, gender, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either PaCE or CE chemotherapy. The study design uses an adaptive group sequential approach with sample size re-estimation at the interim analysis. Secondary efficacy endpoints include ORR, PFS, duration of response and changes in QOL and disease-related symptoms. Tumor-related endpoints will be assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 guidelines. The safety of study treatments will be assessed by the frequency and severity of adverse events as determined by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03. To provide an initial confirmation of safety, an early interim analysis of safety data only will be performed. An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will be convened to assess the safety and efficacy of the study interventions and to monitor the overall conduct of the clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to compare the reliability and validity of a new device with standard methods for diagnosing between amniotic fluid leakage due to premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) and urine.
The standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer involves chemotherapy and radiation, known as 5FUCMT, (the chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil/capecitabine and radiation therapy) prior to surgery. Although radiation therapy to the pelvis has been a standard and important part of treatment for rectal cancer and has been shown to decrease the risk of the cancer coming back in the same area in the pelvis, some patients experience undesirable side effects from the radiation and there have been important advances in chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation which may be of benefit. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, both good and bad, of the standard treatment of chemotherapy and radiation to chemotherapy using a combination regimen known as FOLFOX, (the drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin and leucovorin) and selective use of the standard treatment, depending on response to the FOLFOX. The drugs in the FOLFOX regimen are all FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved and have been used routinely to treat patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) is evaluated in every echocardiographic examination either by visual estimation (eyeballing) requiring high level of training and expertise and/or by manual tracing of the endocard from which EF is calculated (manual biplane method (MBP)). This procedure is subjective and time consuming. The objective of this study is to compare the performance of LVivoEF software system to the measurements obtained by the routinely used methods.
Adequate glycemic control in patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a desired therapeutic goal that is difficult to achieve with current blood glucose monitoring technology. Home blood glucose monitoring (HBGM) technology, which requires finger pricking, is a source of severe inconvenience and hence, a lack of compliance.Thus, the need for non-invasive and easy to operate glucose monitoring in DM patients for strict glycemic control cannot be overemphasized. The Glucometer GM-205 blood glucose readings are accurate and measure blood glucose with an acceptable mean relative error when compared to acceptable invasive blood glucose measurements. The primary objectives of the trial are to determine: 1. Assessing the reliability of the Glucometer GM-205 in evaluating blood glucose levels compare to the standard glucose blood test 2. Creating database of glucose levels readings utilizing the Glucometer GM-205.
TL-118 is an anti-angiogenic drug combination designed for the treatment of cancer. The investigational product Tl-118 comprises of four well-known active components. The therapy is administrated at a unique dosing regimen that was found to be effective and advantageous in terms of safety. The product is formulated as an oral suspension, conveniently administrated by the patients at home and not requiring medical staff assistance. This Phase II clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of TL-118 in Gemcitabine treated Pancreatic Cancer patients
