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 aim of this trial is to evaluate whether the prophylactic use of Defibrotide (DF) in pediatric patients (age less than 18 years) undergoing stem cell transplantation and who are at high risk of developing hepatic Veno-occlusive Disease (VOD) will have an impact on the incidence and severity of the disease. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms: Those allocated to the Prophylactic Arm will receive the study drug (Defibrotide) from the day of conditioning onwards. Patients allocated to the Control Arm will receive the study drug (Defibrotide) from the day that VOD is diagnosed.
This research study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of SUN N4057 (piclozotan) in subjects with acute ischemic stroke within 9 hours of the onset of symptoms.
The objectives of the study are to test the hypothesis that external counter pulsation therapy (ECPT) provides clinical benefit by improving the number and function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in peripheral blood of patients with angina pectoris.
We hypothesized that pretreatment nonresponder and responder liver tissue would show consistent differences in gene expression levels and that these differences could be used to predict treatment outcomes and this can obviate the need of the present therapeutic trial.We are interested in conducting a retrospective study using the data of patients suffering from chronic HCV infection who were treated in our department with a combination of PEGINTERFERON and RIBAVIRIN. All these patients underwent liver biopsy prior the treatment. Based on the clinical data available it is possible to determine the responders and nonresponders to this therapy.RNA will be extracted from the liver tissue and the expression of 5 genes(IFI15,IFI616,IFI1,OAS3,OAS2 )will be checked .The prediction power of the combination of these genes in differentiating responders from nonresponders will be determined.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the value of steroids in the treatment of vestibular neuronitis. The potential benefits of steroid therapy would be analyzed by the clinical response, self-perceived handicap and laboratory parameters.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety of INO-1001 in subjects who have experienced a heart attack and are to be treated with coronary angioplasty.
Pentoxifylline improves microcirculation and decreases TNF alpha levels associated with sepsis, rendering it of potential therapeutic value in necrotizing enterocolitis in premature neonates.
The main purpose of the Product Performance Report (formerly referred to as System Longevity Study) is to evaluate long-term performance of Medtronic market-released cardiac rhythm products by analyzing product survival probabilities.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of INO-1001, an intravenous PARP (poly-[ADP ribose] polymerase) inhibitor, in patients undergoing heart surgery. The study also measures whether INO-1001 reduces the side effects caused by heart-lung bypass machines.
The proposed work is based on the detection of a novel molecule for sensitivity to oxidative stress in humans in venous blood
