Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. A Pilot Study Examining Thiamine Deficiency in Patients Admitted to the Hospital for Liver Transplantation

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to report the proportion of thiamine deficiency (as defined by the Mayo Clinic Laboratory reference range) in liver transplant patients.

2. A Study to Collect Medical and Personal Histories, Blood and/or Tumor Tissue Samples from Patients Who are Long-term Survivors of Lung Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect medical and personal histories, blood and/or tumor tissue samples from patients who are long-term survivors of lung cancer. This study will help us to develop better ways to provide care and advice, develop better treatments to minimize long-term side effects, and improve the quality of life and outcome of lung cancer patients. This study will also help us to learn whether certain genes (inherited factors from your parents) increase the risk of developing or dying of lung cancer.

3. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Among Somali-Americans

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to advance the understanding of obstructive sleep apnea as it relates to different ethnic origins as well as sex differences. The investigators will compare Somali patients with known obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to individuals without OSA, and to individuals of other ethnic/racial origins to determine the risk factors (genetic and/or physiologic) associated with developing cardiovascular diseases. This will help the investigators to understand the unique sleep pathology of individuals of African descent.

4. A Study to Evaluate RP1 Monotherapy and Combined with Nivolumab

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose escalation and expansion of RP1 alone and combined with nivolumab in adult subjects with advanced and/or refractory solid tumors, to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), as well as to evaluate preliminary effectiveness.

5. A Global Study to Assess the Effects of Durvalumab + Domvanalimab Following Concurrent Chemoradiation in Participants With Stage III Unresectable NSCLC

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

   The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of durvalumab (MEDI4736) and domvanalimab (AB154) compared with durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced (Stage III), unresectable  non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not progressed following definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy (cCRT).

6. A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Physiological Function and Clinical Outcomes Following Lung Transplant

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to to mechanistically investigate the effect of specific inspiratory muscle training on respiratory function, exercise capacity, health-related quality-of-life, and short-term clinical outcomes in patients after lung transplant.

7. 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.

8. A Study to Evaluate Noninvasive Ultrasound Elastography of Kidney and Lung in Assessment of Volume Status in ICU Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of performing lung and kidney and lung ultrasound elastography among patients with critical illness from different etiologies that could be associated with volume overload.

9. A Study to Evaluate the Use of Bedside Echo for the Assessment of Right Ventricular Function in Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure and ARDS

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a non-invasive bedside echocardiography to assess the effect of mechanical ventilation (invasive and non-invasive) on the function of the heart.

    

    

10. A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of SPR720 as Compared with Placebo for the Treatment of Participants with Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC) Pulmonary Disease

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of the study is to evaluate the microbiological response and clinical effectiveness of SPR720 compared with placebo in participants with nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). Additionally, to determine the safety and tolerability of SPR720 in a participants population with NTM- PD 3. Also, the pharmacokinetic (PK) of SPR719, active moiety, following orally (po) administered prodrug SPR720 in a participant population with NTM-PD.
