Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.98 studies in Gastroenterology and Hepatology (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Examine Financial Distress in Patients Undergoing Treatment of Locally-advanced Rectal Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to examine the needs and gap in our understanding of financial burden experienced by rectal cancer patients from a patient perspective to help provide patient centered care and improve psychosocial outcomes of this group. A Study to Evaluate Ramucirumab Plus Trifluridine/Tipiracil to Treat Patients with Previously-treated Advanced Gastric or Gastro-esophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to compare, in a non-inferiority fashion, the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic refractory gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma receiving the combination of ramucirumab with TAS-102 vs. paclitaxel and ramucirumab. A Study to Evaluate the Effect of POSE2 on Long-term Gastric Motor Function Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness and safety of a modified gastroplication technique for weight loss in five patients with obesity, and includes physiologic appraisal of gastric emptying (via gastric emptying breath test) and post-prandial gastric accommodation (via SPECT). A Bio-bank for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Associated Neoplasia Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to collect blood and stool samples to validate and improve the performance of stool and blood DNA markers for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal neoplasia critical to the long-term goal of improving effectiveness of neoplasia detection in patients using non-invasive biomarkers to assist colonoscopy and radiographic screening. Mucosal and Microbiota Changes During Acute Campylobacteriosis Rochester, Minn. Gastrointestinal (GI) infection with Campylobacter causes inflammation in the bowel and can change bacteria in the gut. Certain individuals with Campylobacter infection are also known to develop chronic bowel problems such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The researchers are doing this study to understand if changes in gut bacteria and gut mucosal lining during an acute infection can help identify individuals who might be at risk for developing problems in the future. Cohort of Patients With Fatty Liver Disease Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this research is to create a registry of patients having or at risk for metabolic liver disease for investigations into the molecular pathogenesis of cirrhosis, liver cancer, and end-stage liver disease. Novel Stomal Occlusion Device in Patients With a Brooke Ileostomy Rochester, Minn. This investigation constitutes an initial evaluation of the stoma occlusion device in humans with a mature permanent Brooke ileostomy. The overall objective of this study is to assess feasibility and initial operating characteristics of a novel stoma occlusion device. The study will recruit 20 patients for placement of the device into the mature Brooke ileostomy and subsequent 2 hour observation period. The device will remain in the ileostomy for up to 2 hours. Post-sleeve Gastrectomy Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Prediction Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to identify a predictive model for worsening of preexisting gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or development of de novo GERD after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) by using EndoFLIP, upper endoscopy and esophageal manometry to assess patients preoperatively in a discovery cohort. This prospective predictive model will then identify sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for prediction of worsening or de novo GERD.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
