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.
To compare the sequential administration of exemestane with administration of further tamoxifen until 5 years in postmenopausal women with operable breast cancer who have already received 2-3 years of adjuvant tamoxifen, in terms of disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), incidence of contralateral breast cancer and long-term tolerability.
The purpose of this study is to determine if OSI-774 will improve overall survival of patients with incurable stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer compared to standard of care. OSI-774 is a new type of drug under evaluation called an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). OSI-774 is an investigational drug that has not yet been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NC-503 compared to placebo in patients with secondary (AA) amyloidosis using a composite assessment of clinical improvement/worsening of both renal and gastrointestinal functions.
Determine whether patients receiving adjuvant HSPPC-96 treatment after surgically resected, locally advanced renal cell carcinoma have improved recurrence-free survival as compared to subjects with no adjuvant treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine if natalizumab in combination with AVONEX is safe and effective in delaying progression of individuals diagnosed with relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if gemcitabine is more effective with or without capecitabine in treating pancreatic cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of gemcitabine with or without capecitabine in treating patients who have advanced pancreatic cancer.
RATIONALE: Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplant may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining isotretinoin and monoclonal antibodies may kill any remaining tumor cells following surgery. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective in treating neuroblastoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy with or without filgrastim before surgery, high-dose chemotherapy, and radiation therapy followed by isotretinoin with or without monoclonal antibody work in treating patients with neuroblastoma.
A study to determine the effect on prevention of Acute Urinary Retention (inability to urinate) in males with an enlarged prostate, also known as BPH. - Free study-related medical care provided.
RATIONALE: Breast-conserving treatments such as radiation therapy or limited surgery are less invasive than mastectomy and may improve the quality of life. It is not yet known if breast-conserving treatments are as effective as mastectomy followed by radiation therapy in treating locally advanced breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of breast-conserving therapy with mastectomy followed by radiation therapy in treating women who have locally advanced breast cancer that has been previously treated with chemotherapy.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of MEN-10755 in treating patients who have progressive prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy.
