Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. A Study Comparing the Effective Use of a Compact MRI Scanner to Other Similar Scanners

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the new compact Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner compared to standard MR exams of the brain.

2. Evaluation of Advanced Methods for Improved Imaging in Musculoskeletal MRI

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study are to evaluate new MRI software methods to improve imaging near implants. 

3. A Study to Evaluate fMRI of Active Deep Brain Stimulation in Epilepsy

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to to use functional imaging to study the mechanisms of anterior thalamic nucleus (ANT) Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).

4. A Study to Assess Neuromuscular Ultrasound to Predict the Duration of Mechanical Ventilation.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not the diaphragm and abdominal muscle thickness determine the duration of mechanical ventilation in adult critically ill patients.

5. Ultrasound Evaluation of Synovitis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this pilot study is to analyze the effectiveness of a new ultrasound microvessel imaging technology for evaluation of synovitis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

6. Evaluation of NSR 7T Magnetic Resonance Imaging Hardware and Software

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate and develop new imaging techniques on the new MRI scanner.

7. A Study to Determine Serum and Urine Reference Ranges in Patients with Normal Renal Function Being Administered Gadobutrol for an Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to determine the serum and urine gadolinium reference ranges in patients with normal renal function being administered Gadobutrol for an enhanced MRI exam.

8. Comparing Capecitabine and Temozolomide in Combination to Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to compare capecitabine and temozolomide to lutetium Lu 177 dotatate for the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other parts of the body (advanced) or are not able to be removed by surgery (unresectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radioactive drugs, such as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and may reduce harm to normal cells. The purpose of this study is to find out whether capecitabine and temozolomide or lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may kill more tumor cells in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

9. A Study to Evaluate the Patient Experience Regarding Image-Guided Percutaneous Breast Biopsy

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to to better understand the concerns of patients prior to a breast biopsy so that we may improve our practice and ultimately enhance overall patient experience.

10. A Study of the Role Connective Tissue and Wound Healing Characteristics Play in Patients with Multiple Brain Aneurysms

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to develop an increased understanding of the role of connective tissue structural abnormalities and impaired function (i.e. wound healing) in the development of intracranial aneurysms.
