A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Pemigatinib Versus Chemotherapy in Unresectable or Metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of pemigatinib versus gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy in first-line treatment of participants with unresectable or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 rearrangement. Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of HM15211 in Subjects Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacodynamics (PD) of HM15211 after administration of multiple subcutaneous (SC) doses compared to placebo on the liver by proportion of subjects who achieve resolution of steatohepatitis on overall histopathological reading and no worsening of liver fibrosis on NASH Clinical Research Network (CRN) fibrosis score. Resolution of NASH is defined as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS) of 0–1 for inflammation, 0 for ballooning, and any other value for steatosis Study of Gastric Cancer and Limited Peritoneal Metastasis Using Robotic Cytoreduction and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess short-term morbidity and disease-free survival outcomes for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis and/or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing robotic cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. A Study to Understand Crohn’s Disease using a Genetic Approach Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to collect clinical information, blood and tissue samples from people with Crohn’s disease at the time of their bowel resection and at their standard of care colonoscopy after bowel resection. People without Crohn’s Disease are being asked only to give tissue samples at the time of a clinically indicated colonoscopy so their tissue can be compared to those that have Crohn’s Disease. This study will compare the genetic codes (DNA) from active disease affected intestinal cells to these same cells from the same patient when they are without disease (inactive). We will be able to conclude which genetic codes are modified in the setting of active and inactive CD. This study has hopes of understanding the root cause of Crohn’s Disease. A Study to Evaluate Dupilumab as a Treatment for Moderate-to-Severe, Chronic Hepatic Pruritus Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential effectiveness of dupilumab in the treatment of moderate-to-severe, chronic hepatic pruritus. Early pancreatic cancer detection Jacksonville, Fla. The primary purpose of this study is to standardize the collection of demographic, clinical, and imaging data, and biosamples for a large high-risk familial Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarinoma (PDAC) cohort at consortium clinical cancer centers, worldwide. Study to Better Understand the Development of Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) and Related Diseases as a Step Toward Improving Disease Outcomes. Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to better understand disease development of Irritiable Bowel Disease (IBD) and related diseases as a step to improving disease outcomes. A Study of the Use of a Squatting Assist Device in Patients with Constipation Rochester, Minn. Constipation is a very common problem. Western style toilets that are nearly universal in the United States require the person to sit on the toilet. However, results from uncontrolled studies suggests that a squatting posture (as prevalent in many foreign countries) may be better at facilitating evacuation compared to a Western style commode. One uncontrolled, unpublished study suggests that a footstool improved bowel symptoms in nearly 98% of 153 constipated participants. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits of a footstool on symptoms and anorectal function in constipated patients. Anorectal Pressures and Simultaneous Dynamic Imaging Rochester, Minn. Many people have constipation because they cannot defecate. However, we do not fully understand the mechanisms of normal defecation or constipation. We are trying to better understand why constipation occurs and improve the tests for diagnosing these conditions. Transforming Healthcare and Outcomes for Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Mankato, Minn., Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis. The purpose is to put the information into a very large database, which can then be used to improve patient care and achieve the best health outcomes possible for children with IBD.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
