1. Inflammation and Stem Cells in Diabetic and Chronic Kidney Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   As the global epidemic of obesity and diabetes mellitus spreads, an exponential rise in incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) complicated by end stage renal disease (ESRD) is predicted, leaving healthcare systems overwhelmed worldwide. Hence, there is urgent need for novel therapies to slow the progression of DKD and optimize the health of this patient population. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a supplement on mesenchymal stem cells, physical body function (or frailty), kidney function, and total clearance of senescent cells in individuals with CKD. At present, we are enrolling participants with CKD, with a subset of participants with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), aged 40-80 years, and eGFR 15-60 mL/min/1.73m2. After screening and enrollment, study participants will be randomized to either the treatment or non-treatment (placebo) arm.  Participants in the treatment arm will take the supplement drug for 2 days.  For all participants, an olive-sized sample of subcutaneous fat will be taken from the abdomen for MSC isolation and repeated at day 14. A frailty assessment along with blood and urine laboratory testing will be done at a total of 3 study visits (enrollment, day 14, and month 4).  Mail-out labs will be accepted for month 12 follow-up. 

2. Authorizaton to Use Clincially Obtained Data for Research

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is being done to gather information regarding your health in relation to your composite tissue transplant. We would like to use your medical records (both existing and future) to study the health of patients who will receive or have received a composite tissue transplant. This research would include looking at your demographic information, cause of initial injury, laboratory test results and medical exams relating to your pre and post transplant care, and your mental well-being before and after transplant.

    

3. Post Approval Study for Treatment of Drug-resistant Adult Primary FSGS Using the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the probable benefit and safety of the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome associated with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, when the standard treatment options, including corticosteroid and/or calcineurin inhibitors treatments, have been unsuccessful or not well tolerated, and the patient has a GFR ≥ 45 ml/min/1.73m2, or the patient is post renal transplantation. Treatment for FSGS is considered unsuccessful if the patient is unresponsive to standard therapy (e.g., at least 8 weeks of corticosteroids) and fails to achieve complete or partial remission. A standard treatment is considered not well tolerated if the patient experiences severe side effects without providing an acceptable level of clinical benefit.

    

4. Rare Kidney Stone Consortium Patient Registry

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to collect medical information from a large number of patients in many areas of the world with primary hyperoxaluria (PH), Dent disease, Cystinuria and APRT deficiency. This information will create a registry that will help us to compare similarities and differences in patients and their symptoms. The more patients we are able to enter into the registry, the more we will be able to understand the Primary Hyperoxalurias,Dent disease, cystinuria and APRT and learn better ways of caring for patients with these diseases.

5. Biobank Protocol, Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is being done to obtain samples from patients with primary hyperoxaluria, cystinuria, adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (APRT) deficiency, and Dent disease, and from their family members, for use in future research.

6. A Study to Evaluate How Semaglutide Works Compared to Placebo in People with Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not semaglutide can slow down the growth and worsening of chronic kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will receive semaglutide (active medicine) or placebo ('dummy medicine'). This is known as participants' study medicine - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Semaglutide is a medicine, doctors can prescribe in some countries for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Participants will get the study medicine in a pen. Participants will use the pen to inject the medicine in a skin fold once a week. The study will close when there is enough information collected to show clear result of the study. The total time participants will be in this study is about 3 to 5 years, but it could be longer.

7. A Study to Form a Database of Children with Kidney Stone Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to establish a database to collect and analyze information on metabolic and environmental risk factors for kidney stone formation in children.

8. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Among Somali-Americans

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to advance the understanding of obstructive sleep apnea as it relates to different ethnic origins as well as sex differences. The investigators will compare Somali patients with known obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to individuals without OSA, and to individuals of other ethnic/racial origins to determine the risk factors (genetic and/or physiologic) associated with developing cardiovascular diseases. This will help the investigators to understand the unique sleep pathology of individuals of African descent.

9. In-home Versus In-Clinic Subcutaneous Nivolumab Administration through Connected and Remote Cancer CARE Beyond Walls

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the location of SQ Nivo administration, at the infusion center or in the home, on patient preference and acceptability, safety, patient reported outcomes (PROs), and clinical outcomes.

10. A Study to Evaluate Noninvasive Ultrasound Elastography of Kidney and Lung in Assessment of Volume Status in ICU Patients

    Rochester, Minn.

    The primary purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of performing lung and kidney and lung ultrasound elastography among patients with critical illness from different etiologies that could be associated with volume overload.
