This study is testing a new combination of three drugs for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if adding a new oral drug, Irpagratinib, to two existing drugs (Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab) is safe and can help control the cancer…

This study is testing whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can help patients with advanced solid cancers who have stopped responding to a common type of immunotherapy. The goal is to see if changing the gut bacteria with FMT can make the cancer respond again to the drug ni…

This study aims to find the best way to program pacemakers for people whose hearts beat too slowly. Researchers will compare two different programming strategies to see which one is more effective at preventing serious problems like death, heart failure hospital stays, or long-la…

This trial is testing whether adding a drug called lenvatinib to standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy can help people with advanced stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen and caused significant fluid buildup. The study aims to find a safe dose and see if t…

This trial is testing if adding a medication called cilostazol to the standard two-drug treatment (aspirin and clopidogrel) is better at preventing a second stroke in the first six months. It focuses on people who had a stroke caused by a significantly narrowed artery. The main g…

This study aims to find a better way to check if liver cancer returns in patients who have been cancer-free for over two years. Researchers will compare a shorter, specialized MRI scan to the standard CT scan to see which is more effective at spotting new tumors early. The goal i…

This study is testing a new type of PET/CT scan (called 18F-FES PET/CT) to see if it can find cancer that has spread (metastasized) more accurately than standard scans. It is for people newly diagnosed with a specific type of stage III breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-posi…

This study is testing if a wearable heart monitor patch can find a hidden irregular heartbeat in people who've had a stroke from an unknown cause. 100 participants will wear the patch for several weeks to see if it can detect this condition better than standard tests. Finding the…

This study aims to find the most effective flu vaccine for adults with blood cancers, who have a much higher risk of severe flu complications. Researchers are testing three different flu shot formulas to see which one produces the strongest immune response in these patients with …

This study is testing whether a smartphone app can help adults recover their strength and thinking skills after being discharged from an intensive care unit (ICU). About 70 participants in South Korea will use the app for daily, guided rehabilitation exercises. Researchers will c…

This study aims to understand how and why fatty plaque builds up in the heart arteries of people with diabetes over many years. Researchers will follow a group of over 500 Korean patients who had a special heart CT scan years ago, and see how their scans have changed. The goal is…

This study is creating a national registry to learn about the results and safety of a balloon procedure used to treat a narrowed heart valve (mitral stenosis). It will follow 400 patients in Korea who undergo this procedure to see how they do and to figure out the best balloon si…

This study aims to find biological markers in blood and tumor tissue that can predict how well patients with advanced liver cancer respond to immunotherapy. Researchers will collect samples from 50 patients before and during their treatment to analyze genetic and immune system ch…
