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 is a Phase III, randomised, controlled, 3-arm, multi-centre study of neoadjuvant osimertinib as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, versus SoC chemotherapy alone, for the treatment of patients with resectable EGFRm Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Since December 2019, when the novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19) spread throughout the world, data have been needed on the effects of the pandemic on various aspects of healthcare systems. Recommendations for social distancing and quarantine decrees made by local governments, alongside the general public fear from the spread of the virus, are presumed to have markedly affected the trends in hospitals visits. Understanding the exact nature of the effect is critical for better anticipating and preparing health systems in the event of future outbreaks and in the post outbreak period. Therefore we intend to To identify retrospectively all patients who presented to the emergency department at our medical institute between January 1 - March 31 in the following years: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. We will examine the impact of COVID-19 on the rates of surgical emergency visits, ratio of surgical visits to non-surgical visits, the ratio of severe presentations to non-severe presentations, and the impact of age on ED attendance.
Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study to investigate the efficacy and safety of odevixibat compared to placebo in children with biliary atresia who have undergone a Kasai hepatoportoenterostomy.
The investigator is hypothesize that an intensive FMT regimen will have superior efficacy the treatment of inflammatory disorders of the pouch (pouchitis and CLDP).
Despite recent therapeutic advancements, the outcome of young adults with Philadelphia-negative (Ph-neg) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) remains unsatisfactory, especially in those patients with high-risk disease features. In young adults pediatric-based chemotherapy approaches improve outcome. Furthermore, there is evidence that pre-transplant antibody-based therapy may render patients with positive minimal residual disease (MRD+) to an MRD-negative status (MRD-) and that this may be associated with improved post-transplant outcome. This is prospective study to evaluate the potential benefit of a modified pediatric-based approach in young adults with Ph-neg ALL. Safety and efficacy of pre-transplant antibody-based consolidation in high-risk patients with Ph-neg ALL will be performed.
Antenatal corticosteroids, particularly, betamethasone is routinely administered to pregnant women at risk for preterm delivery to improve neonatal outcomes. Although antenatal betamethasone was shown to induce both maternal hyperglycemia and neonatal hypoglycemia, to date, there is insufficient data to establish whether treatment for maternal hyperglycemia, particularly, metformin, will decrease the risk for neonatal hypoglycemia, particularly of preterm neonates. In the present study the investigators will examine the effect of treatment with metformin on maternal glycemic control and hypoglycemia in preterm neonates following maternal betamethasone treatment.
The aim of this study is to assess the findings of mediastinal/hilar LN sampling by EBUS-TBNA in patients with non-sarcoidosis interstitial lung disease ( ILD) who demonstrate LN enlargement on chest imaging. Patients with non-sarcoidosis ILD referred for bronchoscopy will undergo LN sampling by EBUS-TBNA. Cytology results will be recorded along with clinico-radiologic features, BAL findings, histology and final ILD diagnosis.
Studies demonstrated that fungi have a complex, multifaceted role in the gastrointestinal tract and are active participants in directly influencing health and disease through fungal-bacterial, fungal-fungal and fungal-host interactions. Fungi have been linked with a number of gastrointestinal diseases including IBD, However, the exact role of fungal colonization in the pathophysiology of "IBD" (inflammatory bowel diseases) is not precisely defined. Aim to evaluate the impact of "Mycodigest" supplementation to IBD patients on: Clinical response and remission rates , Quality of life, Inflammatory markers, Fecal microbiome
The investigators postulate that by determining a patient's baseline microbiome and manipulating it through fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) may improve response rates to vedolizumab in Crohn's disease (CD) patients. Primary objective: To determine whether manipulation of gut microbiome by FMT pre vedolizumab treatment is safe and results in higher remission rates in CD patients. Study design: A randomized double blinded controlled clinical trial. Study population:CD patients 18-65 YO, men and women, with mild-moderately active disease determined by the Harvey-Bradshaw index (HBI) of 5≤HBI≤15, who were found eligible to commence treatment with vedolizumab. Study procedure: Study participants will receive FMT within a week prior to first vedolizumab infusion. All patients will be followed for 46 weeks in 8 visits at the IBD clinic in the GI department of the Tel Aviv Medical Center.
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the surgical treatment of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who require surgery. Inflammation of the ileal pouch (pouchitis) occurs in up to 60% of pouch patients. Although, pouchitis patients are former UC patients, the disease occurs in the small intestine, similarly to Crohn's disease (CD). Further, the disease can be clinically similar to CD, involving the proximal gastro-intestinal tract and causing strictures, fistula, or perianal disease. The Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED) reduces exposure to all the components identified in rodent models as well as two components that are highly suspect but have not been investigated in models. The diet also provides dietary components that may favor species (especially SCFA producers) which appear to be deficient in CD. The investigator therefore aims to examine the microbial, mucosal and immunological changes of the pouch during one year post IPAA, and examine the impact of the CDED on disease activity and dysbiosis in a cohort of adults suffering from active pouchitis.
