This study tests a single dose of stem cells (PNEUMOSTEM®) given into the windpipe of very premature babies who have high blood pressure in their lungs. The goal is to see if it is safe and can improve breathing and heart function. Twelve babies born before 28 weeks or weighing l…

This study tests a drug called tislelizumab in about 72 adults with advanced solid tumors that no longer respond to standard treatments. Only patients with a specific gene signature (T cell inflamed GEP score) are eligible. The drug is given every three weeks to see if it can shr…

This study looks at 5000 heart attack patients who had a procedure to open blocked arteries and are taking two blood thinners. It compares giving everyone a strong stomach acid blocker versus using a standard approach to prevent stomach bleeding. The goal is to see which strategy…

This study tests whether a special blood filter called Oxiris can help repair blood vessel damage and improve kidney recovery in people with sepsis-related acute kidney injury. About 32 adults in the ICU will be randomly assigned to receive either the Oxiris filter or a standard …

This study tests whether routinely placing a small tube (catheter) in the leg can prevent serious limb complications in patients on a heart-pump machine. About 500 adults with severe heart failure or shock will be randomly assigned to get the tube placed right away or only if nee…

This study compares a combination of two cholesterol-lowering drugs (pitavastatin and ezetimibe) to high-dose statins alone in patients aged 75 and older who have had a heart procedure. The goal is to see if the combo is just as effective at preventing future heart attacks, strok…

This study tests a new way to find a hidden heart condition called cardiac amyloidosis in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). Researchers will use AI to analyze EKGs and CT scans to spot early signs of the disease. About 500 adults with AF and certain warning signs will be spli…

This study looks at whether developing insomnia after a heart attack and related heart procedures (like stents or bypass surgery) is linked to worse long-term outcomes, such as death, another heart attack, or stroke. Researchers will analyze a large Korean health database to find…

This study will follow 20,000 Korean adults who have had a heart attack to collect data on their treatment and recovery. The goal is to build a nationwide registry that helps doctors understand what works best for Korean patients and create better risk prediction tools. Participa…

This study will look at how often children in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) receive physical or occupational therapy. Researchers will track about 400 kids aged 18 or younger who have been in the PICU for at least 72 hours. The goal is to understand current rehabilitatio…

This study tests two types of robot conversations—simple rule-based chats and smarter AI-powered chats—to see which one helps hospitalized children aged 2-9 feel more engaged and comfortable. About 60 kids will interact with a robot named LIKU during emotional support and safety …

This study will look back at the medical records of 100,000 people in Korea who had early-stage hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and received surgery. The goal is to understand how often the cancer comes back and what factors might increase that risk. No new…

This study looks at how different levels of pressure from a breathing machine affect the lungs and heart during lung surgery in people with COPD. About 48 adults having lung surgery will each try three pressure settings for five minutes each. The goal is to find the best pressure…
