1. Inherited Muscle Diseases Repository

   Rochester, Minn.

   To establish a repository of DNA samples collected prospectively from patients with inherited myopathies of unknown molecular and/or biochemical defect. To access residual muscle specimens from diagnostic muscle biopsies obtained as part of the routine medical care. The biospecimens will be used to better understanding the underlying molecular defects and mechanisms of muscle diseases.

2. A Study of Nivolumab and Multi-fraction Stereotactic Radiosurgery with or without Ipilimumab in Treating Participants with Recurrent Grade II-III Meningioma

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the side effects and best dose of nivolumab when given together with multi-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery and to see how well they work with or without ipilimumab in treating participants with grade II-III meningioma that has come back. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known whether giving nivolumab and multi-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery with or without ipilimumab may work better in treating participants with grade II-III meningioma.

3. Gemini Study to Evaluate the Integration of Cancer Genetic Testing into a Cancer Clinical Practice at Mayo Clinic at Arizona

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of genetic mutations in cancer patients from various ethnic populations seeking care at Mayo Clinic cancer clinics.

4. A Study to Develop Liquid Biopsy for Pediatric Brain Tumor Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to confirm detection of the H3K27M mutation in patient biofluids (CSF, blood, urine, saliva) and uncover the molecular histone (alkaline protein) profile of H3K trimethylation and H3S phosphorylation in the circulating nucleosomes isolated from the biofluids of patients with H3K27M tumors.

5. A Registry Called Every Child for Collecting Data and Biology Specimens on Younger Patients with Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this registry called Every Child, is to collect data and biospecimens from multiple body sources for younger patients with cancer over time. Gathering health information over time from younger patients with cancer may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.

6. A Study to Investigate Biomarkers for Phenotyping of Neurodegenerative Disorders

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The primary purpose of this study is to create a Mayo Clinic repository for  neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Parkinson’s disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies (PDD/DLB), multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), cortico-basal degeneration (CBD), and other even rarer forms of neurodegeneration.

7. Collection of Discarded Cerebrospinal Fluid for Research Purposes

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect and store cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)from patients with normal CSF.  This stored CSF will be used in the future as a culture media to better understand how therapeutic cells delivered into the CSF will behave. 

8. Long Term Clinical Outcomes of Devic’s Disease

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   Aims, purpose, or objectives:

   1. To describe the clinical features along with treatment outcomes of a cohort of patients with a diagnosis of NMOSD after the latest revised criteria in 2015 by International Panel for Neuromyelitis Optica Diagnosis (IPND)
   2. To described the long term outcomes of a cohort of patients with a diagnosis of NMOSD
   3. To identify demographic, clinical and radiologic factors associated with long terms outcomes of NMOSD
   4. To determine if patients who are diagnosed with the revised 2015 IPND criteria, in particular those who do not satisfy previous criteria, are ultimately diagnosed with conditions other than NMOSD.
   5. To identify treatment effects and complications in this cohort of patients

9. Stem Cells from Skin Fibroblasts in Patients with Hereditary Peripheral Neuropathy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this research is to develop stem cells from cells within patients’ skin in order to better understand peripheral neuropathy and help develop treatments.

10. A Study to Develop a Biorepository of Blood Samples from Cancer Patients Participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) Protocol

    Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to develop a biorepository of blood samples  from cancer patients participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) protocol. These samples will be used for future biomarker discovery and other translational studies.
