Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

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. A Study to Evaluate Immunotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate safety/tolerability and immunogenicity of IMU-201 as monotherapy and in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) or an ICI and chemotherapy in participants with advanced NSCLC tumors that are positive for PD-L1, and to identify the Optimal Biological Dose (OBD) of IMU-201 as monotherapy and in combination with an ICI, or an ICI and chemotherapy, in participants with advanced NSCLC tumors that are positive for PD-L1.

    

3. A Study to Analyze Potential Long-term Treatments for Covid-19 Recovery

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   This study aims to further understand the extent of long term effects of COVID-19 via batteries of self-assessment questionnaires focused on the most common complications of SARS-COVID 19 infections including respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms, frailty, fatigue, exercise capacity, cognitive and emotional functionality, and overall quality of life. Furthermore, we will investigate the impact of 4 weeks of respiratory muscle training and nasal breathing on the above mentioned long-term Covid-19 disease complications.

    

4. A Study to Assess Neuromuscular Ultrasound to Predict the Duration of Mechanical Ventilation.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not the diaphragm and abdominal muscle thickness determine the duration of mechanical ventilation in adult critically ill patients.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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).

    

    

    

8. Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Evidence of Antitumor Activity of JAB-3312 Based Combination Therapies in Adult Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of JAB-3312 in combination with anti-PD-1 mAb or MEKi or KRASi or EGFR-TKI in patients with advanced solid tumors.

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

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

10. 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.
