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 study will determine the value of adding AMG 479 (fully human monoclonal antibody against IGF-1R) to paclitaxel and carboplatin first line chemotherapy in patients with optimally debulked (<1 cm) FIGO stage III and IV (positive pleural cytology only) ovarian epithelial (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal) carcinoma.
Haifa bay region is located close to a major industrial zone. The aim of the study is to evaluate the health status of children living in Haifa bay region. The health status will be evaluated using health questionnaires and spirometry.

This 3-arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared with exenatide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin, thiazolidinedione or a combination of both. Patients will be randomized to receive taspoglutide (10mg once weekly or 10mg once weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg once weekly) or exenatide (5 micrograms twice daily for 4 weeks followed by 10 micrograms twice daily) in a ratio of 1:1:1 in addition to continued prestudy metformin and thiazolidinedione either alone or in combination. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3+ years, and the target sample size is >500 individuals.
Hippotherapy is every program of horseback riding meant to treat people with physiological, mental, social, cognitive or behavioral problems. The purpose of the current research is to evaluate the efficacy of hippotherapy for children with developmental disabilities. The hypothesis is that children with developmental disabilities who are treated with hippotherapy will show better outcomes than children with the same problems who are not treated with hippotherapy.
The purpose of the study is to determine the Pharmacokinetics of Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) in Cancer patients, and compare it to the Pharmacokinetics of LMWH in Patients without cancer. We also intend to detect any correlation between heparanase blood and urine levels and the Pharmacokinetics of LMWH.
The proposed research focuses on the development of innovative protocol of mismatched stem cell transplantation with combined 2 different haplo stem cell transplantation (SCT) donors which are mismatched to the recipient (and preferably to each other), in a patient in need for SCT, lacking an HLA match related or an unrelated donor. This innovative protocol named multi donor stem cell transplantation (MDT) is designed to facilitate engraftment even when reduced intensity conditioning or a low cell dose are used, improve the graft vs. leukemia (GVL) effect and enhance immune reconstitution (using quantitative and qualitative parameters).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Coenzyme Q 10 supplementation will decrease the rate of Muscle Pain in patients with previous statin related Muscle Pain.
USF Hemostasis - USage of HemCon for Femoral Hemostasis after Percutaneous Procedures. A Comparative Open Label Study The purpose of this trial is to test HemCon pad after diagnostic percutaneous coronary angiography as an adjunct to manual compression to better control vascular access site bleeding and reduce time-to-hemostasis. We hypothesize that the use of HemCon bandage (containing a carbohydrate called chitosan, found in the shells of shrimp, lobster and beetles) will shorten the time needed to achieve hemostasis, time to patient's ambulation, and patient's satisfaction without increasing vascular complications. 278 patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography receiving 2500 u intravenous Heparin will be studied and randomized for manual homeostasis with either a HemCon or a regular pad. Primary efficacy endpoint will be time to hemostasis. Secondary endpoints will be safety (complication rate) and satisfaction of patients regarding time to sitting incline and time to ambulation. 25% of patients from each arm will be randomized for Duplex examination of the femoral artery at the access site.
Our hypothesis is that intensive training with positive biofeedback may enhance postural control and stability in Parkinson's disease patients and in elderly fallers.
