Rochester, MN Paid Clinical Trials

The result of these studies will be used to improve patient care through assessment of new technology to determine whether it is beneficial (i.e. improving data acquisition speed or image quality) during iMRI procedures. Read Less

Durable left ventricular assist devices (dLVAD) have been increasingly utilized since the mid to late 1990s, with an uptick of utility starting in 2010 following expanded indications for therapy to not only include a bridge to transplantation strategy, but also for those individuals who suffer from advanced heart failure (HF) and do not qualify for cardiac transplantation. Despite the decreasing size of the newest generation devices leading to a lessened occurrence of adverse events, bleeding and infection still remain a concern for clinicians, as well as a general lack of predictability towards adverse events in individuals with a dLVAD in place. There is a lack of description in the literature currently, regarding the interface between what the pump data provides and what is seen in clinical practice. There also is little known about the effects of what is provided in the pump data, in correlation to quality-of-life following dLVAD implantation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prospectively analyze normal and abnormal pump data through pump operations such as suction events, low flow alarms as well as other adventitious alarms, PI events and power cable disconnects greater than 20 seconds, from the HeartMate 3 ® dLVAD in order to clinically correlate this data to quality of life, frailty and other various medical conditions and adverse events as defined by the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (Intermacs). This will be achieved through two aims: 1) Evaluate the effectiveness of dLVAD pump operations data on clinical practice application (quality of life, frailty and various medical conditions, and adverse events such as GIB, RHF, infection, hypertension, arrhythmias and stroke); and 2) Evaluate correlations and relationships of longitudinal normal and abnormal dLVAD pump operations data, to demographic and clinical variables. This study is the first study to evaluate HeartMate 3 ® dLVAD pump operations data over time for effectiveness in the clinical practice. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to investigate how gut hormones and brain areas respond differently to gastric distention, tasteless calories, or palatable food and how this alters appetite. Read Less

This study evaluates whether isolated tumor cells in the first lymph nodes near the tumor can tell researchers something important about the future of patients with a certain type of endometrial (uterine) cancer. Read Less

This phase II trial studies how well lutathera works in treating patients with meningioma that cannot be treated with surgery (inoperable) and is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive) after external beam radiation therapy. Lutathera is a radioactive drug administered in the vein that is designed to target and kill tumor cells. The goal of this study is to determine whether this drug is safe and effective in treating meningiomas that progress after radiation treatment. WHO Grade I and Cohort WHO II/III cohorts will be evaluated. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to identify a dose of intrathecal hydromorphone (opioid pain medicine) that optimizes pain control but minimizes side effects historically seen with this class of pain medications. Read Less

This is a phase I, open-Label, single/multiple dose, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and antitumor activity of anti-B7-H3 CAR-T cell injection (TX103) in subjects with recurrent or progressive Grade 4 Glioma.The study also plan to explore the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and determine the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of the CAR-T cell therapy.

Studies show that sleep apnea increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and is associated with obesity. However, it is unclear how sleep apnea affects fat tissue. Studies have shown that fat tissue is likely involved in developing cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study is to see how sleep apnea changes fat tissue. Read Less

This is a phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of NST-6179 in subjects with intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). The study will be conducted in 2 sequential parts. Up to 36 subjects diagnosed with IFALD will be enrolled in the study, of which up to 18 subjects will be enrolled in each of the 2 parts and randomized (2:1) to receive NST-6179 (N=12/part) or matched placebo (N=6/part). Subjects in Part A will receive once daily (QD) oral administration of 800 mg (32 mL solution) NST-6179 or placebo for 4 weeks. The NST-6179 dose for Part B is planned to be 1200 mg QD for 12 weeks. Actual dose, however, will be determined during the safety review meeting. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to test BTX-9341 alone or in combination with fulvestrant (a currently marketed medication for breast cancer) in participants with advanced and/or metastatic hormone receptor positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer. The study includes a dose escalation part (Part A) where small groups of participants will receive increasing doses of BTX-9341 or BTX-9341 + fulvestrant followed by a dose expansion part (Part B) where participants will receive the dose of BTX-9341 selected in Part A + fulvestrant.
