Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Abatacept for the Treatment of Common Variable Immunodeficiency With Interstitial Lung Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of abatacept compared to placebo for treatment of subjects with GLILD in the context of CVID.

   There is no standard of care therapy for patients with granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) seen in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). Abatacept has recently looked promising for the treatment of patients with complex CVID.

2. ARrest RESpiraTory Failure From PNEUMONIA

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

   The purpose of this study is to establish the effectiveness of a combination of an inhaled corticosteroid and a beta agonist compared to placebo for the prevention of acute respiratory failure (ARF) in hospitalized patients with pneumonia and hypoxemia.

3. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Psychological Support Based on Positive Suggestions on Mental Health Morbidity and Cognitive Function

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this trial is to compare the effectiveness of psychological support based on positive suggestions (PSBPS) vs. usual care on mental health morbidity and cognitive function in survivors of critical illness.

4. A Biorepository to Study Portopulmonary Hypertension

   Rochester, Minn.

   We propose to develop a biorepository of plasma samples from patients with suspected and confirmed portopulmonary hypertension to improve our understanding of this disease and its response to pulmonary arterial hypertension targeted therapy and liver transplantation.

5. In-home Versus In-Clinic Subcutaneous Nivolumab Administration through Connected and Remote Cancer CARE Beyond Walls

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the location of SQ Nivo administration, at the infusion center or in the home, on patient preference and acceptability, safety, patient reported outcomes (PROs), and clinical outcomes.

6. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of RalinEpag for Improving Treatment Outcomes in PAH Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effect of ralinepag the time to first adjudicated clinical worsening event in subjects with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).Clinical worsening event is defined as 1 of the following: death, nonelective hospital admission of <24 hours due to worsening PAH or RHF, initiation of parenteral or inhaled therapy, disease progression, or unsatisfactory long term clinical response.

7. A Study to Evaluate Progenitor Cells for Patients with Degenerative Lung Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to use a patient's own cells to fabricate a recellularized scaffold to repopulate the lung and restore function that could offer a solution for patients with degenerative lung disease.

8. A Study of a New Non-Invasive Method for Measuring Lung Elasticity in Healthy Volunteers

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to test a new non-invasive technique may be used to assess patients with various lung disorders.

    

9. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Remdesivir to Treat Coronavirus Disease 2019 in an Outpatient Setting

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effietiveness of remdesivir (RDV) in reducing the rate of of all-cause medically attended visits (MAVs; medical visits attended in person by the participant and a health care professional) or death in non-hospitalized participants with early stage coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to evaluate the safety of RDV administered in an outpatient setting.

10. A Study to Explore the Mechanisms that Separate Responders Versus Non-responders to Treatment such as Immunotherapy, Target Therapy and Chemotherapy in Lung Cancer Patients

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to explore the underlying mechanisms that distinguishes responder versus non-responders to treatment such as immunotherapy, target therapy and chemotherapy in lung cancer and mechanisms of resistance. The information generated from this study will likely help to design the optimal strategies to improve clinical outcomes in lung cancers.
