1. A Study of Atrial Cardiopathy and Antithrombotic Drugs In Prevention After Cryptogenic Stroke

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The primary purpose of this study is to test the theory that Eliquis (apixaban) is superior to aspirin for the prevention of recurrent stroke in patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke and atrial cardiopathy.

2. A Study of Mood Symptoms in Epilepsy Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to track neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with epilepsy.

3. A Study to Evaluate fMRI of Active Deep Brain Stimulation in Epilepsy

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to to use functional imaging to study the mechanisms of anterior thalamic nucleus (ANT) Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).

4. Posterior Fossa Decompression with or without Duraplasty for Chiari Type I Malformation with Syringomyelia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether a posterior fossa decompression or a posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty results in better patient outcomes with fewer complications and improved quality of life in those who have Chiari malformation type I and syringomyelia.

5. Use of Tamsulosin to Reduce the Incidence and Duration of Postoperative Urinary Retention Following Spine Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   Postoperative urinary retention is a frequent complication of spinal surgeries and impacts a large portion of this population which results in increased morbidity as a result of increased number of catheterizations, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and prolonged hospital stays. With the addition of Tamsulosin, the investigators would anticipate a reduction in the incidence and duration of postoperative urinary retention and therefore a reduction in morbidity related to treatment of urinary retention as well as shortened hospital stays.

6. Non-invasive Diagnostic for Assessing Elevated Intracranial Pressure

   Rochester, Minn.

   The study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, open label observational study. The objective of this study is to compare the accuracy of the EyeBOX to a clinical diagnosis of abnormal ICP as determined by an external ventriculostomy drain (EVD) or ventriculostomy catheter.

7. Natural History Study Protocol in PMM2-CDG (CDG-Ia)

   Rochester, Minn.

   Clinical and Basic Investigations into Phosphomannomutase deficiency (PMM2-CDG) This is a natural history (observational) protocol designed to collect clinical and biological information in patients with PMM2-CDG (CDG-Ia). Data from this natural history study will be used to determine a set of clinical and biological parameters that will be used for primary and secondary endpoints in a later clinical trial with a new chemical entity, Lipo-M1P.

8. A Study to Evaluate Prevention of Paclitaxel-Associated Neuropathy with Fingolimod

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of Gilenya® can reduce neuropathy caused by paclitaxel.

    

9. Study to Determine the Impact of Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Using 18F-DOPA (a chemical tracer that highlights certain cells during imaging) During Planning for Proton Beam Radiation Therapy.

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to utilize a novel approach of combining advanced radiation delivery with proton beam therapy with advanced tumor visualization with 18F-DOPA PET and MRI imaging. We will study the effectiveness and safety of this technique delivering the entire treatment over 1-2 weeks.

10. Reduced Craniospinal Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Younger Patients With Newly Diagnosed WNT-Driven Medulloblastoma

    Rochester, Minn.

    This phase II trial studies how well reduced doses of radiation therapy to the brain and spine (craniospinal) and chemotherapy work in treating patients with newly diagnosed type of brain tumor called WNT)/Wingless (WNT)-driven medulloblastoma. Recent studies using chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been shown to be effective in treating patients with WNT-driven medulloblastoma. However, there is a concern about the late side effects of treatment, such as learning difficulties, lower amounts of hormones, or other problems in performing daily activities. Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation from x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide and lomustine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving reduced craniospinal radiation therapy and chemotherapy may kill tumor cells and may also reduce the late side effects of treatment.
