1. E6201 Plus Dabrafenib for the Treatment of Metastatic Melanoma Central Nervous System Metastases (CNS)

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

   The purpose of this study is to determine the overall rate of response of brain metastases in subjects with central nervous system (CNS) metastases due to metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600 mutation who have relapsed or progressed from initial or systemic disease.

2. A Study of a New Way to Treat Children and Young Adults With a Brain Tumor Called NGGCT

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to monitor outcome to ensure that children and young adults with localized central nervous system (CNS) non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT) treated with Induction chemotherapy followed by response evaluation and whole ventricular + spinal canal irradiation (WVSCI) will maintain the excellent 2-year progression free survival (PFS) rate as compared to ACNS0122. Also, to improve disease control by decreasing the number of spinal relapses for patients who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and receive WVSCI as compared to whole ventricular radiation on ACNS1123.

3. Resting State Connectivity in Adolescents with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Chronic Pain

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to compare the functional connectivity in adolescent patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) both with and without chronic pain, to those with chronic pain alone, to that of healthy controls; to evaluate whether there is a change in functional connectivity following participation in an intensive rehabilitation-oriented program previously demonstrated to have excellent outcomes with regard to functional recovery and symptom control; and to correlate outcomes using standardized symptom and function rating scales to imaging findings.

4. Creation of PLACENTA/Serum Repository Database: Autoimmunity from Mother To Baby Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is to learn more about autoimmunity and potential mother to baby transmission of pathogenic antibodies. The collected research samples from children will be frozen and stored at the Mayo Clinic and will be used for future studies of autoimmune diseases.

5. Long-Term Observational Extension of Participants in CREST-2Trial

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this Long-Term Observational Extension of Participants in the CREST-2 Randomized Clinical Trial study is to assess post-procedural efficiency of carotid endarterectomy and carotid stenting.

6. A Prospective Registry for Patients with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Polysomnographic REM Sleep without Atonia and Controls

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to follow patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) over time and learn which types of RBD patients may be at risk of developing other diseases.

7. A Study of Immune-Mediated Activation of Astrocytes in Healthy Volunteers

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the astrocyte response to various inflammatory drivers in the presence of innate immune cells collected from healthy subjects. We will identify innate immune cell populations that contribute to astrocyte reactivity and elucidate the mechanisms responsible for altering the transcriptional and translational profile of astrocytes.

8. A Study to Test Concussion Return to Baseline after Elective Craniotomy Procedure

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine return to baseline (RTB) period after an elective craniotomy procedure using the ImPACT testing assessment.

9. A Multimodal Monitoring (MMM) Computer to Detect Physiologic Trends in Data in Neurointensive Care Unit Patients

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to identify important physiologic trends in bedside ICU data such as cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), intracranial pressure (ICP) using a bedside “Multimodal monitoring” (MMM) computer which utilizes ICM+ Cambridge software.

10. A Study to Review Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Epilepsy

    Rochester, Minn.

    The primary purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic utility of 7T MRI versus 3T MRI in the detection of subtle epileptogenic lesions in the brain.
