1. A Study to Develop a Breath Analysis Test

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purposes of this study are to establish breath sample collection and analysis techniques, to establish reference ranges for selected clinical populations, and to assess correlations between breath analysis and presence or absence of clinical or pathological evidence of disease.

2. Tissue and Blood Registry for Individuals with Liver and Biliary Tumors

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This study will collect and store samples of tissue and blood for current and future research studies on Liver and Biliary Tumors.

3. A Study to Better Understand Why Patients Gain Weight After Undergoing Liver Transplantation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to understanding the mechanisms of weight gain in patients following liver transplantation, action, and indicate approaches to prevent weight gain.

4. A Study to Evaluate Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Liver Transplant Candidates

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine agreement between cardiopulmonary exercise testing and cardiac stress testing (SOC) for the identification of subclinical coronary artery disease in liver transplant candidates, to determine agreement between cardiopulmonary exercise testing and dobutamine stress echocardiogram (SOC) for the identification of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in liver transplant candidates, and to determine agreement between peak oxygen consumption from cardiopulmonary exercise testing and the liver frailty index or the six-minute walk test (SOC), for the identification of frailty in liver transplant candidates.

5. A Study of the Outcomes of Natalizumab plus Standard Steroid Treatment for High Risk Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of combining the study drug Natalizumab (Tysabri®) with the standard use of steroid treatment, as a new treatment for acute graft versus host disease (acute GVHD). GVHD is the most common serious complication, after bone marrow transplant. GVHD occurs when the donor cells (the graft), treat the recipient's body as "foreign" and attack the cells in the recipient's body. During this immune system response, donor cells damage body tissues, such as the skin, liver, stomach, and/or intestines. Acute GVHD can be severe and potentially fatal to the transplant recipient.

    

6. A Study Looking at the Impact of Gabriel House of Care (a Hospital Hospitality House, HHH) on the Quality of Life and Mood of Liver Transplant Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The aim of this study is to measure the differences in quality of life and mood of liver transplant recipients in the immediate month post- transplant staying at the Gabriel House of Care staying at a hotel, apartment or rental property. 

7. A Pilot Study Examining Thiamine Deficiency in Patients Admitted to the Hospital for Liver Transplantation

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to report the proportion of thiamine deficiency (as defined by the Mayo Clinic Laboratory reference range) in liver transplant patients.

8. Lost Wages Support for Living Organ Donors Demonstration Project

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the effect of the US Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) program to reimburse lost wages on the decision of individuals to initiate evaluation for living organ donation.

9. Hydroxocobalamin as a New and Possibly Superior Treatment for Refractory Vasoplegic Syndrome during Liver Transplant Surgery

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate if Hydroxocobalamin may be a new and possibly superior treatment for refractory vasoplegic syndrome during liver transplant surgery.

    

    

10. Study Investigating the Activity of Vidofludimus Calcium as a Treatment for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC)

    Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
