Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. In-home Versus In-Clinic Subcutaneous Nivolumab Administration through Connected and Remote Cancer CARE Beyond Walls

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the location of SQ Nivo administration, at the infusion center or in the home, on patient preference and acceptability, safety, patient reported outcomes (PROs), and clinical outcomes.

2. 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.

3. A Study to Identify Discomforts Among Intensive Care Unit Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to assess and describe the contributing sources of discomfort(s) experienced by ICU patients utilizing the Discomforts Perceived by ICU Patients instrument, a modified version of the Inconforts des Patients de REAnimation questionnaire (IPREA).

4. A Study to Evaluate Progenitor Cells for Patients with Degenerative Lung Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to use a patient's own cells to fabricate a recellularized scaffold to repopulate the lung and restore function that could offer a solution for patients with degenerative lung disease.

5. Analysis of the Cardiac, Aorta and Carotid Artery Walls for Hemodynamic Monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The primary aim of this study is to determine if biomechanical properties of cardiac and large arterial walls measured by ultrasound-based novel imaging technology correlate with hemodynamic parameters measured by other tools in the ICU.

6. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of RalinEpag for Improving Treatment Outcomes in PAH Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effect of ralinepag the time to first adjudicated clinical worsening event in subjects with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).Clinical worsening event is defined as 1 of the following: death, nonelective hospital admission of <24 hours due to worsening PAH or RHF, initiation of parenteral or inhaled therapy, disease progression, or unsatisfactory long term clinical response.

7. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Effectiveness of V117957 in Subjects with Insomnia Associated with Alcohol Cessation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of V117957, compared to placebo, in subjects with alcohol use disorder (AUD) who experience insomnia associated with alcohol cessation.

8. Determinants of Incident Stroke Cognitive Outcomes and Vascular Effects on Recovery (DISCOVERY)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose o fthis study

   A total of 8,000 patients presenting to CPSs with acute-onset AIS, ICH or aSAH and no history of dementia will be enrolled within 6 weeks of stroke onset.

   All participants will undergo baseline screening for evidence of pre-stroke dementia. Those who pass baseline screening will complete a blood draw and a series of cognitive and functional assessments at baseline.

   Participants will undergo in-person (3-6 months, 18 months) and telephone (annual) follow-up visits for the duration of the study to assess for longitudinal cognitive and functional outcomes. In addition to Tier 1 procedures, at each in-person follow-up visit: Tier 2 participants will also undergo MRI scanning, comprehensive cognitive assessment batteries and longitudinal blood collection; and Tier 3 participants will also complete amyloid- and tau-PET/CT scans.

9. A Study to Explore the Mechanisms that Separate Responders Versus Non-responders to Treatment such as Immunotherapy, Target Therapy and Chemotherapy in Lung Cancer Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to explore the underlying mechanisms that distinguishes responder versus non-responders to treatment such as immunotherapy, target therapy and chemotherapy in lung cancer and mechanisms of resistance. The information generated from this study will likely help to design the optimal strategies to improve clinical outcomes in lung cancers.

10. A Study of a New Non-Invasive Method for Measuring Lung Elasticity in Healthy Volunteers

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to test a new non-invasive technique may be used to assess patients with various lung disorders.
