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.
In usual clinical conditions, depressed patients with no sexual dysfunction, after signing their consent for the dissemination of their clinical information will begin their treatment with any SSRI or a Dual antidepressant as per the best clinical decision of their treating psychiatrist. Sexual dysfunction will be identified along the 6 months of active observation. Psychiatrists will decide to change dose, augment, shift or combine antidepressants at their clinical discretion in the benefit of their patients and all clinical decisions will be recorded.Comparisons among antidepressants will be made in terms of their sexual dysfunction potentiality.
The use of intravitreal corticosteroids in the management ocular inflammatory diseases has recently gained widespread acceptance. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of intravitreal triamcinolone is associated with suppression of endogenous cortisol production, as generally admitted for patients treated with oral or parenteral corticosteroid therapy.
The purpose of this study is to assess changes in serum levels of the siderophore binding protein NGAL by hemodialysis without and with intravenous iron administration
Inhaled corticosteroids are largely used in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive lung diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of inhaled corticosteroids is associated with suppression of endogenous cortisol production, as seen in patients treated with pharmacologic doses of oral or parenteral steroids.
Define the efficacy of CP-751,871 in patients with Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors
The purpose of this study is to assess a dose titration scheme, of a new drug (BAY58-2667) given intravenously, to evaluate if this is safe and can help to improve the well-being, symptoms (e.g. breathing) and outcome of decompensated heart failure. Patients living with chronic heart failure have a risk of increased number of hospitalisations because of worsening of their condition (decompensated heart failure). The current treatment of acute heart failure consists of oxygen and medical treatment with vasodilators and positive inotropic agents (drugs, which should strengthen the pump function of the heart) which have their limitations. Therefore there is a need for new drugs in treatment of acute heat failure.
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous Mircera and subcutaneous darbepoetin in the treatment of renal anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis and not receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA). Patients will be randomized to receive either Mircera once every 4 weeks, at a starting dose of 1.2 micrograms/kg, or darbepoetin alfa once weekly, at a starting dose of 0.45 micrograms/kg. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and anti-tumor effects of an experimental immunotherapy drug, called AlloStim, which is intentionally mis-matched immune cells which are designed to elicit the same anti-tumor mechanism that occurs in allogeneic bone marrow/stem cell mini-transplant (BMT) procedures, without the toxicity associated with graft vs. host disease (GVHD).
The study purpose is to prospectively collect data for a set of predefined variables in clinical cases where coronary plaque lipid characterization by IVMRI was performed during diagnostic or interventional procedures in order to gather incremental information beyond angiography and other diagnostic modalities.
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of Polyethylene glycol versus sodium phosphate as purgative for colon preparation to colonoscopy, after the failure of preparation with sodium phosphate for first colonoscopy. The hypothesis tested is whether there is advantage for substituting the purgative used, as compared to repeating the colonoscopy with the same purgative.Briefly, patients whose preparation was inadequate, will be allocated randomly to a group that will receive 3L Polyethylene glycol versus a group that will receive sodium phosphate(45ccX2). Both groups will be instructed to extend low-fiber diet to 5 days. Cleanliness of the colon at colonoscopy will be assessed blindly by an experienced endoscopist.
