Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.51 studies in Pulmonary Medicine (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Evaluate RheOx Bronchial Rheoplasty System to Treat Chronic Bronchitis in Adults with COPD Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Bronchial Rheoplasty for the treatment of the symptoms of chronic bronchitis in adult COPD patients with moderate to severe chronic bronchitis. A Study to Analyze Potential Long-term Treatments for Covid-19 Recovery Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn. This study aims to further understand the extent of long term effects of COVID-19 via batteries of self-assessment questionnaires focused on the most common complications of SARS-COVID 19 infections including respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms, frailty, fatigue, exercise capacity, cognitive and emotional functionality, and overall quality of life. Furthermore, we will investigate the impact of 4 weeks of respiratory muscle training and nasal breathing on the above mentioned long-term Covid-19 disease complications. COVID-19 and Acute Renal Failure Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn. The primary purpose of this study is to examine 1-year survival and rate of secondary infections in COVID-19 patients with and without acute kidney injury (AKI). Influence of Immunosuppresion on Lung Iron Content in Pneumonia Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of the study is to see whether lung concentrations of iron and a protein that binds iron are influenced by the presence of pneumonia. Increased amounts of iron in the lungs may promote the growth or microorganisms and may influence the severity of lung injury caused by an infection. We are comparing the amount of iron that accumulates in the lungs in response to pneumonia in different types of patients. A Study to Evaluate Oxygen Supplementation Duration to Assess Resolution of Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, reliability and validity of oxygen supplementation duration as an intermediate outcome of resolution of acute hypoxic respiratory failure from all cause in comparison with PaO2/FiO2, SaO2/FiO2 ratio, and lung injury score trajectories in critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-tumor Activity of WSD0922-FU Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of WSD0922-FU in subjects with recurrent glioblastoma, IDH wildtype (GBM), anaplastic astrocytoma, IDH wildtype (AA) and CNS metastases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Low Dose Naltrexone to Improve Physical Health in Patients With Vasculitis Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if low dose naltrexone is effective in improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with vasculitis. Although it is a pilot study, a placebo-controlled component is used because of the prominent placebo group effect seen in studies with self-reported subjective outcomes. Naltrexone is an FDA approved drug (for alcoholism) that has found widespread use "off-label" to treat pain and improve quality of life at much lower doses than are used for the approved indication. There are a few scientific studies in three conditions (fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, and multiple sclerosis) that suggest that this drug has benefit and is safe. However, considering the extent of use in other conditions, and uncertainty about the mechanism of action study is needed in a diverse set of diseases, including vasculitis. Development of Potential COVID-19 Vaccine and Serological Assay Rochester, Minn. Our group has explored the use of genomic RNA/phage display libraries derived from primary human malignant melanoma cells as a means of identifying antibody detectable targets on cancer cells (cancer vaccines or antibody guided therapeutics). In this approach, we isolate and affinity-column immobilize the IgG fraction from patient serum before and after immune therapy for melanoma, and expose the immobilized antibodies to bacteriophage expressing approximately 2x109 overlapping cDNA sequences of paired (same patient derived plasma and cancer cells) melanoma genomic RNA. Phage, expressing melanoma cDNA express the proteins/peptides on their capsid are “recognized” by the immobilized antibodies are retained in the column, and subsequently eluted for DNA sequencing. Comparison of the DNA profiles of the eluted phage using pre-immunotherapy and post-immunotherapy patient sera will reveal emergence of new antibodies (post-immunotherapy gain of antibodies) against proteins of potential interest for melanoma targeting. In the current proposal, we hypothesize that reacting COVID serum from patients that have recovered from COVID infection and compare to non-infected self-serum (if available) and control healthy volunteer serum (available in our lab) may identify protein targets that have developed as a result of the COVID infection and could be useful in the development of a COVID vaccine as well as a serologic test for anti-COVID immunity. An Open Label Follow-Up Study to Evaluate the Long Term Safety and Efficacy of L-CSA in Patients with a Diagnosis of CLAD-BOS after they have completed participation to BOSTON-1 and BOSTON-2 studies Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of L-CsA plus Standard of Care (SoC) in the treatment of BOS in single (SLT) and double lung transplant (DLT) recipients. Enrollment will be limited to patients who have completed 48 weeks participation in either the BT-L-CsA-301-SLT (BOSTON-1) or BT-L-CsA-302-DLT (BOSTON-2) trial. All patients in this clinical trial will receive L-CsA in addition to Standard of Care, regardless of randomization arm in prior trials. PRA023 in Subjects with Systemic Sclerosis Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of PRA023 in subjects with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) with diffuse cutaneous disease and Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD).

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.
