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 was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of perampanel (up to 12 mg/day) given as adjunctive treatment in subjects with refractory partial seizures and to evaluate the maintenance of effect of perampanel for the control of refractory partial seizures.
A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Phase 2 Dose Escalation Study to Investigate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics after Single and Multiple I.V. Doses of SLV334 in Sequential Cohorts of Patients with Moderate and Severe Traumatic Brain Injury.
Evaluation of specificity and sensitivity of Seaforia- an vitro diagnostic system for evaluating semen quality.
Eye burns may cause a severe permanent damage. One kind of treatment is the use of vitamin C (Ascorbic acid). This study will compare between subconjunctival topical and/or systemic route of administration and topical and/or systemic administration.
There is a reciprocal relationship between the central nervous system and the immune system. Stimulation of the vagus nerve results in secretion of acetylcholine (Ach) which decreases secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Acetylcholine esterase is an enzyme that neutralizes Ach and thus, involves in regulation of Ach levels, and in the cholinergic tone and inflammatory state. MicroRNAs (miRs) are evolutionarily conserved, RNAs that regulate gene expression. The investigators hypothesized that miRs controlling systemic communication processes function in one tissue in response to signals (i.e. neuronal, hormonal or others) from another. Specifically, the investigators hypothesized that miRs control the inflammatory response in inflammatory bowel diseases through regulation of expression of messenger RNA of AchE.
This is an open-label, dose-escalation study to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) of 188Re-PTI-6D2 in patients with metastatic melanoma.
Current antipsychotics have only a limited effect on two core symptoms of schizophrenia, negative symptoms and cognitive deficits. Minocycline is a second-generation tetracycline which has a beneficial effect in various neurological disorders. Recent findings in animal models and human case-reports suggest its potential for the treatment of these symptoms of schizophrenia. The current study aims to examine the efficacy of minocycline as add-on treatment for alleviating negative and cognitive symptoms in early-phase schizophrenia. The study will utilize a longitudinal double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design with patients followed for six-months. Early-phase schizophrenia patients were recruited and randomly allocated to a minocycline or placebo treatment (2:1 ratio; 200 mg/day). The primary outcome measures are the Scale for Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) and assessments of executive functions.
The purpose of this study is to determine the advantages of single trocar cholecystectomy over standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
18F-FDG PET/CT (2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose, Positron emission tomography- CT) is a noninvasive technique that allows quantifying and precisely localizing 18F-FDG uptake in the entire body. 18F-FDG uptake is caused by increased local metabolic activity. Such increased uptake has been described not only in neoplastic lesions but also in inflammatory lesions. In this condition, uptake has been correlated with local stimulation of tumor necrosis factor, and with monocyte priming and activation. A physiologic variable uptake may be observed in the bowel, especially the cecum, and has limited the use of PET in inflammatory bowel diseases. The advantage of combined PET and CT devices lead to significant improvements in the interpretation of the bowel areas, and greatly reduces the number of false-positive findings in the gastrointestinal tract.
Diabetes increases the incidence and severity of periodontal inflammation and disease, and periodontal disease causes an increase in the severity of diabetes by worsening glycemic control and increasing insulin resistance.The Transmucosal Herbal Periodontal Patch (THPP) is a transmucosal patch containing an herbal compound that has an anti-inflammatory effect on gingival tissue.The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of the Transmucosal Herbal Periodontal Patch (THPP) compared with placebo patch (PP) in reducing gingival inflammation at the site of placement in diabetic patients. We also aim to determine if the THPP decreases gingival inflammation throughout the mouth and the safety of THPP compared with placebo patch when applied to the mucosa in the treatment of gingival inflammation in diabetic patients.
