1. A Study to Assess Bone Quality Characteristics, Comparing Type 2 Diabetes Patients who have or have not had Prior Fragile Bone Fractures

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess key characteristics of bone quality, specifically material strength and porosity, in patients who have type 2 diabetes. These patients are at an unexplained increased risk for fractures and there is an urgent need to refine clinical assessment for this risk.

2. Trial of Specific Carbohydrate and Mediterranean Diets to Induce Remission of Crohn's Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   This protocol is designed to compare the effectiveness of two dietary interventions for patients with Crohn's disease (CD): the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and a Mediterranean style diet (MSD) that has been demonstrated to have numerous other health benefits. The two diets will be compared in terms of their ability to resolve both the symptoms and bowel inflammation that characterize this debilitating disease.

3. A Study to Test How Muscle Tissue Differs Between People

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to look for ways to test how muscle tissue differs between people.

4. Whole Exome Sequencing and Other Emerging Technologies of Endoscopic Ultrasound Cytopathology

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this research study is to gather information on the feasibility of performing novel molecular analysis on Endoscopic Ultrasound acquired cytologic material and to assess molecular changes in cytology samples to see if that may aid treatment decision planning for future patients.

5. Caloric Restriction in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to conduct a controlled, unblinded RCT comparing mild CR to a control diet in patients with rapidly progressive ADPKD (class 1C-E by the lrazabal classification), under conditions of standardized hydration and sodium intake, to determine whether it slows the rate of growth of the kidneys (primary endpoint), is well tolerated and safe, lowers levels of IGF-1 in serum and the excretion of inflammation (MCP-1) and fibrosis (TGF-􀁇) biomarkers in urine, improves kidney texture, slows the decline of GFR and the rate of growth of the liver, and improves the quality of life.

6. Fecal Microbiome Transplant National Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The overarching goal of the FMT registry is to expand knowledge and optimize practice in the transplantation of fecal microbiota or other gut-related-microbiota products.

7. Tissue Collection for Patients with Cancers other than Hepatobilairy Cancers with Metastasis to the Liver

   Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this study is to develop a resource (bank) of biospecimens (blood, tissue) from patients having cancers that metastasis to the liver. The purpose of the resource bank is to facilitate studies on the pathogenesis of cancers metastasizing to the liver and also in order to assess the ability of new tests to detect early cancer in the cohort of patients undergoing routine surveillance for cancer. The biospecimens will include cultures of tumor cells and tumor-associated non-malignant cells, as well as xenografts established from freshly isolated metastatic cancers in immunodeficient mice. We plan to administer a risk factor questionnaire to facilitate identification of risk factors for development of metastatic liver cancer. The study will also  determine survival of patients from time of diagnosis.

    

8. Genetic Markers of Cardiovascular Disease in Epilepsy

   Rochester, Minn.

   Epilepsy is a common condition which affects over 3 million people in the US. Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy have a lifetime risk of sudden unexpected death (SUDEP) of 35%, which is greatest in those under 40 years of age. The exact mechanisms and causes are not understood but can be due to underlying conditions which affect the heart and brain, which may lead to dangerous heart rhythms and death. Some of these conditions which affect heart and brain have an identifiable genetic cause. This study aims to identify known genetic causes of heart rhythm and sudden death related disorders in patients with epilepsy.

9. A Study to Collect Data and Blood Samples from Mayo Patients Who have or are Suspected to have Amyloidosis, or Their Family Members, for Future Research

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to create a data collection and bioregistry of blood samples from Mayo Clinic patients with amyloidosis, suspected amyloidosis, and family members of patients with amyloidosis. This information will be available for future research about this spectrum of diseases.

10. A Study to Enroll Patients of Rheumatic Diseases and First-degree Relatives in a Biobank

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to enroll rheumatic disease patients and first-degree relatives in a biobank, and to follow them over time to assess health outcomes and collect additional specimens.

6. A Study of Quality of Life and Pain Control Before and After Endovascular Renal Denervation in Individuals with Refractory Kidney Pain

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to examine patient reported outcomes including pain, quality of life, depression and impact on kidney blood flow before and after procedure to destroy the pain sensory nerves of the kidneys in patients with untreatable one or two sided kidney pain.

7. A Study to Determine the Effects of Activity by Ambulation in Hospital Premises versus Strict Protective Isolation on Quality of Life in Severely Neutropenic Cancer Patients during Hospitalization

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if allowing patients to ambulate in the hallways outside of their hospital room by relaxing the policy of strict protective isolation in neutropenic patients improves the quality of life, and if this increases the risk of infection among these patients during hospitalization.
