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 provide pre-approval drug access to lapatinib, in combination with capecitabine, to patients whose breast cancer had progressed on other therapies
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study, clinical trail designed to evaluate the efficacy safety and superiority of intravenous boluses of isosorbide dinitrate for the relief of acute anginal pain episodes in acute coronary syndrome patients in comparison with the usual manner of S/L isosorbide dinitrate .
The purpose of this study is to compare E7389 versus capecitabine in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are refractory to the most recent chemotherapy. This is an open-label, randomized, two-parallel arm study. Patients will be randomized to receive either E7389 or capecitabine on a one-to-one ratio.
The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic lower extremity DVT detected by US-Doppler and procoagulant microparticles in a selected group of cancer patients suffering from an advanced stage of the disease. An attempt will be made to determine whether there is a correlation between this prevalence and various clinical and laboratory parameters.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a higher dosage of clopidogrel with aspirin (two doses) will decrease the risk of ischemic complications (cardiac death (CV death), myocardial infarction (MI), stroke) after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of maxillary sinus saline irrigation in conjunction with systemic antibiotic therapy versus systemic antibiotic therapy alone in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis, a prospective randomized controlled trial.
We hypothesize that depressed patients who have not responded to their current antidepressant medication will respond to the addition of ropinirole to their current regimen at a rate better than placebo.
The primary objective of this study will be to provide further evidence of the long-term safety and tolerability of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (Duodopa®) over 12-months in participants with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) and severe motor fluctuations.
The hypothesis is that povidone iodine alone is sufficient for sterilization of the lacrimal sac and eye lids before intraocular surgeries. Patients admitted for various intraocular surgeries will be randomly allocated to prophylactic local therapy with either moxifloxacin and povidone iodine or povidone iodine alone before surgery. Lacrimal sac and eye lid cultures will be obtained before the local therapy and just before surgery.
Leptin, a circulating hormone expressed abundantly in adipose tissue, has been reported to be a satiety factor. In addition, it has been shown to increase during pregnancy in maternal blood, parallel to increase in body fat mass, to correlate with fetal body weight gain and to fall down to basal levels after delivery. Little is known about leptin levels in pregnant women with preexisting or gestational diabetes and their relationship with fetal and postnatal growth and perinatal complications. Therefore, the proposed study aims to understand and characterize the role of leptin in gestational diabetes mellitus as well as the relationship between leptin, cytokines and the pathophysiological complications during diabetic pregnancy. Specifically, we will evaluate 60 pregnant women both in Germany and in Israel and evaluate serum levels and mRNA of leptin, cytokines (inflammatory as well as Th1 and Th2) and correlate them to maternal changes of body weight and birth weight in women of various degrees of glucose tolerance and with various degrees of metabolic control during pregnancy; relationship between serum and umbilical cord vein concentrations of leptin, cytokines and metabolic variables; placental expression of leptin, leptin receptor, selected cytokines, GLUT1 and 4 and relationship to leptin in serum and umbilical cord plasma; comparison between all above parameters of German and Israeli pregnant women. The results of this new and systematic study will shed light on the role of leptin and cytokines in the development of glucose disturbances during pregnancy and the perinatal outcome of women with gestational or preexisting diabetes mellitus.
