1. 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.

    

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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).

    

    

    

6. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-tumor Activity of WSD0922-FU

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., 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).

7. 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). 

8. Extension Trial on Efficacy /​ Safety of L-CsA + SoC in Treating BOS in Post Single or Double Lung Transplant (BOSTON-3) (BOSTON-3)

   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.

9. A Study to Evaluate Wellness Coaching for Caregivers of Thoracic Transplant Candidates

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a health coaching intervention on the stress and burden of caregivers of patients awaiting heart or lung transplant.

   Hypotheses:  Caregivers will have traits and behaviors pre-transplant that will predict caregiver readiness, quality of life, and transplant recipient outcomes. Specifically, thoracic pre-transplant caregivers report stress, symptoms of anxiety or depression, and perceive high caregiver burden. These factors may be amenable to pre-transplant intervention to improve overall patient and caregiver outcomes.

   Aims, purpose, or objectives:  We will conduct a pilot trial to test whether caregivers of heart and lung transplant candidates who receive wellness coaching will experience improvement in caregiver-related distress. We will also explore the relationship between caregiving and factors such as uncertainty, resilience, stress level, and affect.

10. Evaluation of the Effects of Caffeine, Via the ACE2 Receptor, on Clinical Severity of COVID-19 Disease

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to assess levels of caffeine intake among patients who tested positive for COVID-19 infection and compare that to disease severity.
