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 is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group active extension of LAQ/5062 study (NCT00349193), assessing the tolerability, safety and efficacy of two doses (0.3 mg and 0.6 mg) of laquinimod, orally administered in participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), followed by an open-label phase of laquinimod 0.6 mg daily. This study is LAQ/5063 (i.e., double-blind extension) and LAQ/5063 OL (i.e., subsequent open-label extension). - The first period of the extension study is an active, double-blind period. Participants from the active treatment arms in LAQ/5062 continue their assigned treatment in blinded fashion. Participants who were assigned to placebo treatment in LAQ/5062 are equally randomized in blinded-fashion to laquinimod 0.6 mg or laquinimod 0.3 mg. - Once termination visit of LAQ/5063 active double-blind phase (completion of the full 36 weeks or as requested by the Sponsor) is performed, all participants continue on laquinimod 0.6 mg daily as an open-label intervention. The open-label period continues as long as the Sponsor continues the development of laquinimod 0.6 mg for RRMS or early discontinuation.
A couple that does not achieve pregnancy though regular attempts for a year are defined infertile couple. This condition is caused by faulty functioning of the reproduction system of the husband or wife or both. If there are no organic defects and there is no definite injury to the reproductive system (ova or spermatozoa), the specialist doctor generally decides to put the couple into a fertility treatment program. Artificial insemination is one of the important ways of achieving pregnancy. Three common methods of artificial insemination: 1. Placement of a diaphragm that contains raw spermatozoa or isolated improved spermatozoa in an appropriate liquid solution (Cup insemination, CI) upon the cervix. 2. Spermatozoa injection (after improvement) through the vagina to the cervix (Intra-Cervical Insemination, ICI). 3. Spermatozoa injection (after improvement) directly into the uterus (IUI-Intra-Uterine Insemination). The EVIE - Slow Release Insemination method: The slow release insemination is utilizing a Grasby type MS16 pump for 3 hours. The release rate for motile spermatozoa is 50X103 per minute. Advantages: - Very close approximation of the natural procedure in which the spermatozoa arrive to the fertilization site over a long period. - An extended "window of opportunities" for meeting between the ovum and spermatozoa will be longer. - There is no loss of spermatozoa due to leaking as sometimes happens with single-time injection practiced in the IUI method. Primary Endpoint: Accumulation of 50 cycles of SRI- slow release insemination (study group) in addition to 50 cycles of regular IUI (control group). Two weeks after insemination Beta hCG test Secondary Endpoints: Four weeks after insemination - US Viability scan Procedure: Subjects will be women with fertility difficulties who are designated for IUI treatment. 100 insemination cycles will be conducted. (50 regular IUI and 50 EVIE-SRI). Subjects that were treated with the IUI method and who does not become pregnant will then be treated with the EVIE-Slow Release method and vice versa.
This is s randomized, multi-center, double blind, 3 arm, phase I/II pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with ORA102 combined with Avastin (Bevacizumab) versus Avastin alone, in patients with neo-vascular age related macular degeneration (AMD).
This 3 arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with diet and exercise. Patients will be randomized to one of 3 treatment arms: taspoglutide 10mg sc once weekly, taspoglutide 20mg sc once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10mg sc once weekly) or placebo. After the first 24 weeks patients on placebo will be switched to taspoglutide 10mg once weekly or taspoglutide 20mg once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10mg once weekly). The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Cobra Cobalt Super Alloy Balloon-Expandable Coronary Stent System for the treatment of de novo and restenotic (previously unstented) lesions in native coronary arteries in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) having a reference vessel diameter (RVD) between 2.5 - 4.0 mm and a lesion length ≤ 26 mm amenable to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a single stent in subjects with symptomatic ischemic heart disease.
To evaluate the influence of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) on the healing process of medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear.
To check the influence of injected platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the healing of medial retinaculum and the redaction in recurrent dislocation of the patella.
The research is aimed at exploring the application of novel tracking technique for the study of spatial activity among dementia patients and its implication on their families. The study sample will be composed of three groups of volunteers, each including100 participants aged over 60 years. The first group will include MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) patients. The second group will include patients that suffer from mild dementia. The third group will include age matched healthy participants. The tracking equipment will be a GPS apparatus of 450 gms that will be carried by the participants for 24 hours along 2-4 weeks. The GPS data will be transferred via the cellular network to operator center at the Hebrew university at Jerusalem, and will be documented in assigned data files. This monitoring procedure will be held every year and along a period of five years. The impact of the patient behavior on the care giver will be studied by means of five interviews along the tracking period.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether chemotherapy induces regression in atherosclerotic plaques in oncologic patients already undergoing PET FDG as part of their routine assessment.We will use PET FDG to assess whether the inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques is affected by chemotherapy and anti angiogenic therapy.
This study evaluated the efficacy of oral panobinostat in participants with refractory/relapsed classical Hodgkins lymphoma (HL) who have received prior treatment with high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant. Safety of panobinostat also was assessed. Other markers that may correlate with efficacy or safety were explored.
