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 phase III trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and surgery work in treating young patients with Wilms tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving it after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, multiple-arm, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of EZN-2208. EZN-2208 will be administered as a single agent in patients with K-RAS mutations in the tumors. Patients with wild type K-RAS in tumors will be randomized to EZN-2208 + cetuximab or to standard of care (Camptosar® + cetuximab), patients must have failed regimens containing irinotecan (Camptosar®, CPT-11), oxaliplatin (Eloxatin®), and fluoropyrimidine. After discontinuation of study treatment, patients will receive care as considered appropriate by the investigator. Patients will continue to be followed for disease progression, subsequent anticancer therapy, and survival.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of computerized, home-based cognitive training on sleep quality of older adults with insomnia.
This Phase 3 study is designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of eliglustat tartrate (Genz-112638) in participants with Gaucher disease Type 1.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate histologic bone remodeling after interpositional bone graft ("sandwich osteotomy" technique) using xenograft to fill the gap of the bone after moving and fixation it in the proper place.
Human fibroblasts and possibly other human somatic cells may be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by the forced expression of transcription factors (1-5). The iPS cells seem to share many properties with human embryonic stem cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells potentially may be useful in the future as an unlimited source of cells for transplantation. The major goal of the project is to develop human iPS cells from cell cultures from skin biopsies or the patient's hair. The iPS cells will be developed primarily for modeling diseases and drug discovery as well as basic research, and for developing the technology that may eventually allow the use of iPS cells for future transplantation therapy. The iPS cells developed in the course of this application are not intended for use in transplantation therapy. Future development of iPS cells for clinical transplantation therapies will be subjected to the appropriate authorization by ethical and regulatory committees.
Recombinant growth hormone is a common therapy in the pediatric population. A number of associated side effects have been described. Several years ago, a case report was published concerning a child that was treated with RGH and developed acute glaucoma. To date no study has evaluated the connection.
The acutely suicidal patient presents a complex and dangerous clinical dilemma. Many suicidal patients receive antidepressant medications, but the onset of action of these medications is at least three weeks, and despite their established antidepressant effect, they have not shown a clear anti-suicidal benefit. Psychoanalysts hypothesized that depression (often leading to suicidality) shares important characteristics with the psychological sequellae of object loss and separation distress. Endogenous opioids (endorphines) have been implicated in mediating social bonding and separation distress in mammals. Anecdotal evidence and several clinical studies found the mixed opioid agonist-antagonist buprenorphine to be an effective antidepressant with a rapid onset of action. It is therefore hypothesized that buprenorphine may be a novel and quick-acting treatment for acute suicidality, especially in the context of depression. The proposed double-blind study will examine the effect of buprenorphine on acutely suicidal inpatients. Depression, suicidality, and overall functioning will be assessed before, during and after a two-week buprenorphine/placebo trial. A small subgroup of patients will also be treated with short-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy throughout the study period. It is hypothesized that subjects who receive the active drug will show rapid improvements in objective and subjective measures of suicidality and depression.
The purpose of this study is evaluate the safety and feasibility of mild therapeutic hypothermia (TH) during and 12 hours after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction complicated with shock
