1. Risk and Benefit Assessment of Pancreas Transplantation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to (i)assess glucose variability at pre specified time points after Pancreas Transplantation (ii) collect pre-specified serious adverse events after PT and in appropriate control groups (iii) assess mixed meal dynamics after pancreas transplantation.

2. Clinical Registry, Imaging Analysis and Biomaterial Collection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this research is to follow people with adrenal disorders in order to make conclusions about the natural history of a particular adrenal disease as well as effect of various therapies and interventions decided on by you and your medical team. In addition, we will collect biomaterial from you at times you are being evaluated which will be used to discover novel biomarkers which can potentially improve the accuracy of current diagnostic tests and affect the management of patients with adrenal disorders. We will also include a control group (without known adrenal disease) to compare to the volunteers with adrenal disorders.

3. To Assess the Effectiveness, Safety, and Tolerability of INCB000928 in Participants With Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, tolerability, and PK of INCB000928 over a 24-week treatment period followed by a 52-week, open-label extension period.

4. A Study to Evaluate Pemetrexed and Pembrolizumab to Treat Recurrent and/or Metastatic Salivary Gland Malignancies

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate of the combination of Pemetrexed and Pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent or metastatic salivary gland cancer (R/M SGC).

5. A Study to Evaluate Pembrolizumab for Surgically Treated Adjuvant Merkel Cell Carcinoma

   Rochester, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis.

   The purpose of this study is to determine how well pembrolizumab works compared to standard of care observation in treating patients with stage I-III Merkel cell cancer that has been completely removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

6. Investigating the Link Between Type 2 Immunity and NAFLD in Human Obesity- AIM 1

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This study is being done to better understand the relationship between inflammation in your AT, abnormal deposition of fat around your liver and how this affects its appearance and function and ultimately insulin resistance.

7. Feasibility of a Constant Pressure Skin Disk (CPSD) in Enteral Tubes

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this research study is to gather information on one specific part of a feeding tube, known as the adjustable skin disk. The goal of this research study is to see if a new type of adjustable skin disk, called a Constant Pressure Skin Disk (CPSD), can safely and effectively support one or more of the following: 1) adequate healing after feeding tube placement; 2) a reduced rate of complications associated with feeding tubes, such as leakage, skin breakdown, etc.; 3) ease of use; and 4) durability (holds up to usual wear and tear associated with feeding tube use).

8. Intramyocellular Fatty Acid Trafficking in Insulin Resistance States - Effects of Intestinal Delivery of Lipids

   Rochester, Minn.

   Muscle insulin resistance is a hallmark of upper body obesity (UBO) and Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It is unknown whether muscle free fatty acid (FFA) availability or intramyocellular fatty acid trafficking is responsible for muscle insulin resistance, although it has been shown that raising FFA with Intralipid can cause muscle insulin resistance within 4 hours. We do not understand to what extent the incorporation of FFA into ceramides or diacylglycerols (DG) affect insulin signaling and muscle glucose uptake. We propose to alter the profile and concentrations of FFA of healthy, non-obese adults using an overnight, intra-duodenal palm oil infusion vs. an intra-duodenal Intralipid infusion (both compared to saline control). We will compare the muscle FFA storage into intramyocellular triglyceride, intramyocellular fatty acid trafficking, activation of the insulin signaling pathway and glucose disposal rates, providing the first measure of how different FFA profiles alter muscle FFA trafficking and insulin action at the whole body and cellular/molecular levels. By identifying which steps in the insulin signaling pathway are most affected, we will determine the site-specific effect of ceramides and/or DG on different degrees of insulin resistance.
   Hypothesis 1: Palm oil infusion will result in abnormal FFA trafficking into intra-myocellular ceramides and abnormal insulin signaling.
   Hypothesis 2: Intralipid infusion will result in abnormal FFA trafficking into intra-myocellular saturated DG and abnormal insulin signaling.

9. Identifying Variants in MC4R Pathway-Associated Obesity With Novel Hyperphagia Questionnaires

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of the hyperphagia questionnaires to identify children and young adults with early-onset obesity for genetic testing to identify variants in 36 genes of interest associated with MC4R pathway genetic obesity
