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

1. A Study to Evaluate Voice-enabled Artificial Intelligence to Diagnosis Hepatic Encephalopathy

   Rochester, Minn.

   early detection of hepatic encephalopathy

2. Comparing Retreatment Of 177Lu-DOTATATE PRRT Versus Everolimus In Patients With Metastatic Unresectable Midgut Neuroendocrine Tumors, NET RETREAT Trial

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is tol compare the effect of retreatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) to the usual approach of treatment with everolimus in patients who have previously received 177Lu-DOTATATE for midgut neuroendocrine tumor (NET) that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable).  

3. Cystic Kidney and Liver Disease Biobank

   Rochester, Minn.

    

   This research study is being done to create a collection of biospecimens (blood, urine, cyst fluid, bile, kidney or liver tissue, etc.) that can be used to facilitate the conduction of research on polycystic kidney and/or liver disease.

4. Biobank for Cholestatic Liver Diseases

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is a biobank of specimens and clinical data for use in current and future research to better understand the cholestatic liver diseases primary biliary cirrhosis/cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

5. A Study to Evaluate the Effects of Ondansetron on Gastrointestinal Sensorimotor Dysfunctions in Diabetes Mellitus and Dyspepsia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to understand why patients with indigestion, with or without diabetes, have gastrointestinal symptoms and, in particular, to understand where the symptoms are related to increased sensitivity to nutrients.Subsequently, look at the effects of Ondansetron on these patients' symptoms.

6. SULF1 and SULF2 Role in Cholangiocarcinoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has key similarities with HCC, therefore, we hypothesize that Sulf1 and Sulf2 may also play roles in promotion of CCA progression.

7. A Study to Evaluate Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy to Treat Patients with Pancreatic Cancer and Peritoneal Metastasis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to assess short-term morbidity and disease-free survival outcomes for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

    

    

8. Improving the Quality of Care for Adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact of an Adult Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) learning health system approach that enables patients and their care teams to coproduce optimal health and high value care.

9. A Study to Detect Pancreatic Cancer Using Circulating Tumor Markers

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to select and validate candidate methylated DNA markers (MDMs) (individually and in combined panels) for the detection of pancreative ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The potential complementary value of mutant KRAS and CA19-9 will also be evaluated.

10. A Study to Evaluate the Response of Dietary Therapy in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to investigate the response rate of dietary therapy in patients with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) and determine rates of long-term compliance with the food elimination diets (SFED, FFED, step-up), and also to identify patient, clinical, and endoscopic factors that may be associated with increased rates of success in patients undergoing dietary therapy in EoE.
