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.
Despite the presence of validated tests, there are still drawbacks to implementing delirium diagnosis tests in hospital wards. We developed a new, simple, easy to implement user friendly delirium diagnostic test that is likely to facilitate implementation in many departments. The present study will compare the new test to a well validated older test - 4AT.
This is a 2-month study in which eligible ADHD adolescents will be provided with personalized VIZO Glasses
Supportive and palliative care play an important role in cancer treatment, and when introduced early can improve quality of life and may even increase median survival rates, as shown in patients with advanced lung cancer. Complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) is a popular supportive approach among oncology patients and is on the rise worldwide. In many countries, homeopathy is being one the CIM methods integrated with a general sense that this treatment is beneficial to the well-being and quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients. In this observational study we will evaluate the feasibility of integrating homeopathic approach in patients attending the complementary and integrative oncology service at the division of oncology in Rambam Health Campus in Haifa, Israel, a major referral comprehensive cancer center. This observational study will evaluate three main ingredients of acceptance: - Obtaining the reasons that patients willing to integrate this supportive approach - Patient acceptance of this supportive approach as well as compliance with the homeopathic approach - Obtaining retrospective subjective information from the patients through validated quality of life questionnaires. (MYCaW, Distress Thermometer, and ESAS-R) Measures which are used routinely in integrative oncology encounters.
Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with a high risk for driving accidents. Adolescents with ADHD are 1.2 to 4 times more prone to be involved in car accidents. Driving accidents are the leading cause of death among adolescents. Objective: Examining a multidimensional applied intervention based on serious gaming principles to improve the driving capabilities and skills of adolescents with ADHD Methodology: The study will include 90 adolescents (aged 15-18 years old) with ADHD diagnosis who did not yet start driving lessons. Participants will undergo a stratified randomized clinical trial, single-blinded. The stratified randomization process will include gender, age, and medication status. There exist three different intervention modalities: (1) A personalized cognitive-functional intervention- 'Drive-Fun' (group1) (2) educational intervention (group2); and (3) no intervention (group3). Meetings will entail 11 once-a-week sessions. Participants will be evaluated before intervention (baseline), after the intervention, and at a 6-month follow-up. Evaluations will include simulated driving skills, meta-cognitive abilities, eye tracking, and brain activity (EEG) measures. The evaluation and the intervention will be conducted by two certified occupational therapists. Participants and the therapist performing the evaluations will be blinded to group type and intervention. The potential scientific contribution of the proposed research: Given the great risks of injury to adolescents with ADHD and other road users, it is important to identify dangerous driving behaviors as well as develop methods that can lead to better driving skills and a safer driving experience. It is anticipated that evidence will be presented by the evaluation battery that the personalized intervention program developed will significantly improve potential driving skills on the simulator and hopefully also actual driving.
Migraine is a neurological disease characterized by moderate or severe headache, associated with nausea, vomiting, and/or sensitivity to light and sound. This study will evaluate how effective the use of ubrogepant and atogepant is in treating adult participants with migraine. Urogepant (Ubrelvy) and Atogepant (Qulipta) are approved drugs for treatment of migraine in adults in the US. Approximately 200 adult participants who are prescribed Ubrogepant or atogepant by their doctors will be enrolled in this study in Israel. Participants will receive ubrogepant oral tablets or atogepant oral tablets as prescribed by their physician. Participants will be followed for 90 days. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of iberdomide maintenance to lenalidomide maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a public health problem: moderate / severe TR are common, especially in ageing populations, and affect 4% of the population >75 years old, totaling approximately 1.6 million in the US and 3 million in Europe. TR is associated with an increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Contrasting with TR prevalence and the magnitude of the problem, the vast majority of patients are medically treated with diuretics to relieve their symptoms and a curative surgical treatment for isolated severe TR is seldom performed. Reluctance to perform an ITVS can be explained in the one hand by the limited evidence that TR correction improves outcomes and on the other hand, ITVS is associated to high observed in-hospital mortality rates (≈ 10% remarkably consistent in most series across the literature). Severity of the clinical presentation is the main predictor of outcome after surgery. The TRI-SCORE, is a dedicated, simple and accurate risk score model to predict in-hospital mortality after ITVS that could guide the clinical decision-making process at the individual level. Excellent outcomes can be achieved when patients present with low TRI-SCORE. These results suggest adopting a more pro-active approach for TV interventions, and to intervene earlier in the course of the disease in patients with severe isolated TR, irrespective of TR mechanism / etiology, before the occurrence of advanced / irreversible consequences such as severe RV dilatation / dysfunction, renal and liver failure, and intractable heart failure. Recently transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVI) have emerged recently as a less invasive option to surgery to cure patients with TR. What is the best treatment between medical, surgical or transcatheter therapy to consider and the best timing for each patient are not clearly defined. The aim of the study is to compare outcome of patients with significant functional TR according to medical, transcatheter or surgical treatment after matching per TRISCORE.
This phase 2a study is a multi-center, double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled study. The study is designed to determine the safety and tolerability of the anti-human CCL24 monoclonal antibody CM-101 in adult patients with non-cirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients with stage 1c, 2 or 3 fibrosis. The patients will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups: 5 mg/kg CM-101 or placebo.
The goal of this first-in-human clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of four doses of a new study drug called VO659 in people with genetic disorders called spinocerebellar ataxia type 1, type 3 or Huntington's disease. Another aim is to determine the concentrations of the study drug in the cerebral spinal fluid and blood after single and multiple doses. Study drug will be administered by lumbar intrathecal bolus injections.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, PK / PD, and efficacy of SC CSL312 for prophylactic treatment of pediatric subjects with HAE.
