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 objective of this open-label extension is to assess the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment of the rotigotine patch in subjects with early-stage idiopathic Parkinson's disease
This is a phase I/II protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ADA gene transfer into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells for the treatment of adenosine deaminase (ADA)-deficiency. This condition is an autosomal recessive form of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) characterized by impaired immune responses, recurrent infections, failure to thrive and systemic toxicity due to accumulation of purine metabolites. Transplants from an human leukocyte-antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donor is the treatment of choice, but available for a minority of patients. The use of alternative bone marrow donors or enzyme replacement therapy is associated with important drawbacks. The drug product studied in this protocol consists of autologous cluster of differentiation (CD)34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells engineered ex vivo with a retroviral vector encoding the therapeutic gene ADA. The engineered CD34+ cells are infused following a nonmyeloablative conditioning with busulfan to make space in the bone marrow. The study objectives are: a) to evaluate the safety and the clinical efficacy of gene therapy, in the absence of enzyme replacement therapy; b) to evaluate the biological activity (engraftment, ADA expression) of ADA transduced CD34+ cells and their hematopoietic progeny. c) to evaluate the immunological reconstitution and purine metabolism after gene therapy.
This is a prospective, randomized, single blind, standard care- controlled study, which will include a total of 30 patients divided into two treatment arms: First are: patents who will be treated in accordance with standard of care. Second arm: patients for which the Fibrin Fleece will be applied directly on the active bleeding site.
Recent studies have established the reliability, validity and time course of the cannabis withdrawal syndrome. This study will investigate the effects of combined treatment of Escitalopram with cognitive-behavior therapy in alleviating the symptoms of the marijuana withdrawal syndrome in regular chronic users of marijuana. We predict that combined pharmacological treatment and cognitive-behavior therapy will help patients to abstain from using using marijuana and it will alleviate their marijuana withdrawal symptoms.
The Study 1. Prospective trial of the Niv score validating score against known activity indices - see addendum A for Niv score 2. Known Crohn's disease patients undergoing capsule endoscopy are identified - see addendum B for inclusion/exclusion criteria 3. Prior to capsule exam, temperature is taken, height and weight measured, bloods are drawn for albumin, ESR, HCT, CRP 4. Prior to capsule exam, symptom/exam questionnaire is completed - see addendum C for questionnaire 5. Capsule exam is performed 6. CD of de-identified is made at the study site. 7. Landmarks are confirmed and the small bowel transit time is divided into 2 and labeled on thumbnails 8. CDs are copied 9. CDs of study patients are provided to blinded readers
The different mechanisms of action of Everolimus and cyclosporine suppress immune function in synergistic manner. Thus it is postulated that the use of Everolimus in combination with cyclosporine permits a significant cyclosporine dose reduction without loss of immunosuppressive activity in the clinical setting. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the evolution of renal function after initiation of Everolimus and minimalisation of CNI dose.
Demonstrate the ability of the current interactive tutorial and 1-800 support to teach an AMD patient to use the HMP device.
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the sensitivity of the HMP test in identifying visual field functional defects in subjects with CNV secondary to AMD, and differentiate them from intermediate AMD subjects.
This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of DTA-H19/PEI given as six intravesical instillations of 20 mg of plasmid DNA complexed with PEI into the bladder of patients with intermediate risk superficial bladder cancer [recurrent stages Ta (low or high grade)and T1, (low grade) transitional cell carcinoma (TCC)] who have failed prior intravesical therapies including either Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) or chemotherapy. The primary efficacy objective is to determine the effect of DTA-H19/PEI on the prevention of new tumors after the induction course of 6 weekly intravesical administrations of investigational product assessed 8 to 10 weeks after the start of treatment. Secondary objectives include assessing the ablative effect of DTA-H19/PEI on a marker tumor, safety assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events, determining the long-term (46 weeks) continued rates of absence of bladder cancer, and time to tumor recurrence in those patients who had a complete response (CR) after the induction course.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a fatal degenerative disease of the brain for which there is no cure. AD causes brain cells to die. AD is thought to be caused by an excess of beta-amyloid (β-amyloid), a sticky protein in the brain that forms amyloid plaques. At autopsy, AD patients are required to have these amyloid plaques in the brain in order to have a definitive diagnosis of AD. Inhibiting the enzyme gamma-secretase (γ-secretase) lowers the production of β-amyloid. Semagacestat (LY450139) is a functional γ-secretase inhibitor and was shown to lower β-amyloid in blood and spinal fluid in humans tested thus far and in blood, spinal fluid, and brain in animals tested thus far. This study used several different tests to measure the effect of semagacestat on both β-amyloid and amyloid plaques for some participants. The build-up of amyloid plaques was measured by a brain scan that takes a picture of amyloid plaques in the brain. Other tests measured the overall function of the brain and brain size in some participants. In this trial, participants who initially received placebo (inactive sugar pill) were, at a certain point in the study, switched over to active drug, semagacestat. In other words, all participants could eventually receive active drug. Participation could last approximately 2 years. Participants taking approved AD medications were permitted to participate in this study and continue taking these medications during the study. All participants who completed this study had the option to continue receiving semagacestat by participating in an open-label study. Preliminary results from this study (H6L-MC-LFAN [LFAN]) and another similar study (H6L-MC-LFBC [LFBC; NCT00762411]) showed semagacestat did not slow disease progression and was associated with worsening of clinical measures of cognition and the ability to perform activities of daily living. Study drug was stopped in all studies. Studies LFAN, LFBC, and open-label H6L-MC-LFBF (LFBF; NCT01035138) were amended to continue collecting safety data, including cognitive scores, for at least 7 months. The Clinical Trial Registry (CTR) will reflect results of analyses from the original LFAN protocol in addition to those from the amended LFAN protocol.
