PM14 Administered Intravenously to Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors
Recruiting
Despite recent advances in the treatment of solid tumors in general, advanced (metastatic) disease remains mostly incurable and there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic options for these patients, particularly investigational drugs with novel mechanisms of action. The investigation of new combination regimens of non-crossresistant agents with acceptable-and not completely overlapping-toxicities has been a major way to improve response rate and outcome of patients with advanced solid tu...

International Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) "iSCAD" Registry
Recruiting
The aim of "iSCAD," the International Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) Registry, is to serve as an internationally collaborative, multicenter registry coordinated by an experienced and centralized coordinating center in an effort to increase the pace of participant recruitment, and thereby increase statistical power of studies related to SCAD. The ultimate goal of iSCAD Registry is to facilitate the development of best practices and clinical guidelines for preventing SCAD or its re... Read More

Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of HM16390 in Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
Recruiting
This is a First-in-Human, Phase 1, Dose-Escalation and Dose-Expansion study of HM16390, as a single agent to assess safety, tolerability, MTD, RP2D, PK, and efficacy in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Dose-Escalation Part is planned to establish the MTD or RDs for the randomized Dose-Ranging Part. Based on the results of the Dose-Escalation Part, additional eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1 into at each dose level. After a comprehensive review of available data from bo... Read More

Oxytocin Effects on Bone in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Recruiting
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study of the effects of intranasal oxytocin on bone health in children with autism spectrum disorder, ages 6-18 years old. Subjects will be randomized to receive intranasal oxytocin or placebo (30 IU, 2 times daily) for 12 months in the double-blind phase, followed by a 6-month open label phase during which all study subjects will receive intranasal oxytocin (30 IU, 2 times daily). Study visits include screening to determine eligibility, fol... Read More

Mineralocorticoid Receptor, Coronary Microvascular Function, and Cardiac Efficiency in Hypertension
Recruiting
The investigators' goal is to show that in hypertensive men and women with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) treatment with a mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist, versus a thiazide-like diuretic, will improve coronary microvascular function and cardiac efficiency, which will associate with improvements in LV structure and function. The investigators will achieve this through a randomized, controlled, basic experimental study involving humans (BESH).

ARDS in Children and ECMO Initiation Strategies Impact on Neurodevelopment (ASCEND)
Recruiting
ASCEND researchers are partnering with families of children who receive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after a sudden failure of breathing named pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). ECMO is a life support technology that uses an artificial lung outside of the body to do the lung's work. ASCEND has two objectives. The first objective is to learn more about children's abilities and quality of life among ECMO-supported children in the year after they leave the pediatr... Read More
