1. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Biomarkers for Prediction of Dementia

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   To further investigate biomarkers in CSF as possible predictors for mild cognitive impairment and dementia

2. Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AMSCs) For Recurrent Glioblastoma

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This study aims to evaluate the safety of local delivery of AMSCs for recurrent GBM by noting the incidence of adverse events, as well as radiological and clinical progression.

   To assess the preliminary efficacy of local delivery of AMSCs for recurrent GBM by comparing the clinical, survival, progression, and radiographic outcomes from patients enrolled in our study to historical controls from our institution.

3. A study to create and analyze a comprehensive longitudinal resource using testing results from those with genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This study aims to establish, use, and extensively share a comprehensive longitudinal resource of genetic, non-genetic, and cognitive data, brain imaging and fluid biomarker measurements of amyloid-β (Aβ), tau pathophysiology, neurodegeneration, and inflammation (“A,T,N,I”), and biological samples to advance the study of cognitively unimpaired older adults at six levels of genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) due to their apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype, including understudied APOE2 and APOE4 homozygotes (HMs) at the lowest and highest risk and those APOE4 HMs and heterozygotes (HTs) who remain unimpaired at older ages due to unknown protective factors and spared pathophysiological effects despite their genetic risk.

4. 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.

5. A Study to Evaluate Rozanolixizumab to Treat Patients with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of additional 6-week treatment cycles with Rozanolixizumab in study participants with generalized myasthenia gravis.

6. Acute Procedural Pain Treated With Remote Electrical Neuromodulation in Chronic Migraine Patients Receiving Onabotulinumtoxina

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of remote electrical neuromodulation with Nerivio ® (Theranica Bio-electronics, Ltd.) for treatment of acute procedural pain in patients receiving onabotulinumtoxinA for the treatment of chronic migraine.  

7. ARTFL LEFFTDS Longitudinal Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ALLFTD)

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate sporadic (s-) and familial (f-) frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) patients and asymptomatic family members of f-FTLD patients, characterizing the cohorts longitudinally and informing clinical trial design.  FTLD is a neurodegenerative disorder of the nervous system which there are no approved treatments or cures.

   The study has two arms: a “longitudinal arm” involving a comprehensive assessment of clinical, functional, imaging, and biofluid data collection, and a “biofluid-focused arm” involving limited clinical data to accompany biospecimen collection.

8. Detection of Vascular and Inflammatory Plasma Biomarkers in Patients Diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and MRI-defined Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate plasma biomarkers of vascular function and inflammation in patients with newly-diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and pre-existing imaging evidence of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (CSVD).

9. Image-based Mapping of Brain Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to combine MRI images with histologic and genetic analysis of cancer (from blood and tissue samples) to improve the overall accuracy of diagnosis and effectiveness of cancer treatment.

    

10. A Study Testing the Effect of Immunotherapy (Ipilimumab and Nivolumab) in Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma with Elevated Mutational Burden

    Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Eau Claire, Wis.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) and carries a high number of mutations. Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to genes that control the way cells function. Tumors with high number of mutations may respond well to immunotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as ipilimumab and nivolumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ipilimumab and nivolumab may lower the chance of recurrent glioblastoma with high number of mutations from growing or spreading compared to usual care (surgery or chemotherapy).
