Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine

Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. The Relationship Between Critical Care Physicians' Characteristics and Their Clinical Practice Patterns

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to  identify the magnitude of variation among intensivists in use of diagnostic testing and to determine whether variation in diagnostic test ordering patterns among intensivists attributables to their personal characteristics, or to factors in the clinical environment.

    

2. A Study to Collect Thoracic Specimens to Develop a Thoracic Specimen Registry

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a Thoracic Specimen Registry at Mayo Clinic. The purpose of the registry will be to support ongoing research in the etiology, early diagnosis, clinical management, and prognosis of lung cancer and other cancers and diseases of the thorax by developing a complete repository of specimens from patients with thoracic disease including but not limited to suspected lung cancer, mediastinal and pleural tumors and from patients at a very high risk of developing other thoracic cancers or other thoracic diseases. 

3. A Study to Evaluate Lamprene (Clofazimine) to Treat Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) Infections

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to  evaluate Lamprene (Clofazimine) to treat non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections.

4. Study of the Incidence of Electrographic Status Epilepticus and Seizures of PICU Patients at National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is:

   1. To determine the incidence of subclinical electrographic seizures and electrographic status epilepticus in children admitted to the PICU for head trauma, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and/or child abuse at National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

   2. To determine whether a correlation exists between length of stay, morbidity, and mortality with incidence of subclinical SE and seizures.

5. A Study to Evaluate DDP3 as a Predictor of Cardiogenic Shock in Patients Presenting with Cardiac Symptoms

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether DDP3 identifies patients at early risk of cardiogenic shock presenting with STEMI in order to benefit from more aggressive cardiology scrutiny.

    

    

6. A Study of Patients Undergoing Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer to Evaluate Perioperative Circulating Tumor DNA as a Prognostic Biomarker

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of employing quantitative ctDNA as a surrogate marker for pathologic treatment response in patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy for Stage IIA-IIIB NSCLC undergoing curative-intent resection. We will assess the relationship between major pathologic response (≤10% viable tumor remaining) and percent change in levels of ctDNA concentration before and after neoadjuvant therapy.

7. A Multimodal Monitoring (MMM) Computer to Detect Physiologic Trends in Data in Neurointensive Care Unit Patients

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to identify important physiologic trends in bedside ICU data such as cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), intracranial pressure (ICP) using a bedside “Multimodal monitoring” (MMM) computer which utilizes ICM+ Cambridge software.

8. 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.

9. A Study to Evaluate Sleep for Stroke Management and Recovery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke.

10. A Study to Evaluate the Use of a Smartphone App for Stroke Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a smartphone app for stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea in order to better use their positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.
