1. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Healthy Living Weight Loss Program in Obese Patients Undergoing Bariatric Endoscopy on Weight Loss Outcomes

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare weight loss, improvement of comorbidities, improvement of lipid profile, blood sugar in patients undergoing endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty or intragastric balloon between patients who are in a weight loss program and those who are not.

2. A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Improving Glycemic Control on Gastric Emptying in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of improving glycemic control, and/or reducing glycemic variability on gastric emptying, intestinal barrier function, autonomic nerve functions, and epigenetic changes in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and  type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are switched to intensive insulin therapy as part of clinical practice.

3. A Study to Create a Registry for Patients at High-Risk for Pancreatic Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study aims to facilitate discovery and validation of tests for early detection in subjects at high risk for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). and to facilitate the use of state-of-the-art machine learning-based algorithms that utilize databases and images with the purpose of identifying early stages of pancreatic cancer, as well as people at high-risk.The study also aims to provide a platform for development of an interventional protocol for early detection of PDAC.

4. A Study to Evaluate if New Tests (“biomarkers”) of Blood, Stool, Pancreas Cyst Fluid, or Pancreas Juice can be Used to Diagnose Malignant or Pre-malignant Changes in People with Pancreas Cysts

   Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this protocol is to collect biospecimens in order to prospectively evaluate diagnostic and prognostic performance of MDMs for detection of advanced neoplasia in pancreatic cysts. 

5. A Study to Evaluate the Use of Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy as an IMaging Biomarker (CLIMB Study) for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cystic Lesions

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate EUS-nCLE as an imaging biomarker and PCL fluid DNA analysis as a molecular biomarker for the management of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs).

6. A Phase II Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of RO7198457 Versus Watchful Waiting in Patients With ctDNA-positive, Resected Stage II (High Risk) and Stage III Colorectal Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of RO7198457 versus watchful waiting in patients with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) positive, surgically resected Stage II/III rectal cancer, or Stage II (high risk)/Stage III colon cancer.

7. Obesity Treatment Outcomes in Liver Transplant Recipients

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the safety and effectiveness of standard of care, individualized, comprehensive weight loss interventions in carefully selected patients with obesity undergoing liver transplant evaluation, including utilization of best lifestyle modifications and guidance to promote a healthy weight, possible medical therapy using FDA-approved weight loss medications and EBMTs with or without concomitant medical therapy.

8. A Study to Evaluate Evacuation Mechanisms Using Advanced Brain Imaging

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objective of this study is to compare the central neural circuitry with fMRI (7T) in 30 asymptomatic healthy controls, 30 constipated patients without DD, and 30 constipated patients with DD at rest (functional connectivity analysis), during rectal distention to desire to defecate and urgency, and during evacuation. 

    

    

    

9. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Determine the Optimal Dose for the Expansion Cohorts of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Refractory Solid Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in combination with pembrolizumab, followed by expansion to examine effectiveness of combination therapy in patients with refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) or Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

10. A Study to Develop a Registry for Outcomes and Predictors in Pouch-Related Disorders

    Rochester, Minn.

    The primary purpose of this study is to create a prospective registry of patients with pouch-related conditions to allow for longitudinal assessment of outcomes at 3, 6 and 12 months after a enrollment with a specific diagnosis (acute pouchitis, CADP, CARP, or CD of the pouch).
