Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine

Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Glasses for Adolescent Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder (GLAD)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if evening amber glasses combined with stable wake times will show an increase in total sleep time (TST), and an advance in sleep onset times (shift earlier) compared to the control group.

2. A Study to Collect Thoracic Specimens to Develop a Thoracic Specimen Registry

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a Thoracic Specimen Registry at Mayo Clinic. The purpose of the registry will be to support ongoing research in the etiology, early diagnosis, clinical management, and prognosis of lung cancer and other cancers and diseases of the thorax by developing a complete repository of specimens from patients with thoracic disease including but not limited to suspected lung cancer, mediastinal and pleural tumors and from patients at a very high risk of developing other thoracic cancers or other thoracic diseases. 

3. A Study to Assess the Culture, PCR, Serology and Symptoms of COVID-19

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to understand when patients are shedding active COVID virus RNA as detectable by viral culture, and if there are any correlates of the cessation of active viral shedding, such as presence of certain immunoglobulins.

   Additionally, this study will take a discovery approach to the immune response to better understand how the body recovers or worsens during disease, and if there are opportunities to use that knowledge to develop treatments.

    

4. A Study to Evaluate Exercise Capacity and Positive Airway Pressure Impact on Sleep Apnea in Heart Failure

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in HFpEF, and its clinical and hemodynamic correlates, and to determine the impact of intervention with CPAP therapy on exercise capacity and quality of life in HFpEF patients with OSA.

5. Study of the Incidence of Electrographic Status Epilepticus and Seizures of PICU Patients at National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is:

   1. To determine the incidence of subclinical electrographic seizures and electrographic status epilepticus in children admitted to the PICU for head trauma, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and/or child abuse at National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

   2. To determine whether a correlation exists between length of stay, morbidity, and mortality with incidence of subclinical SE and seizures.

6. A Study of Performing Surgery for Resectable Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma After Radiation Therapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the possibility, safety, and therapeutic effect of administering a short, quick course of high-dose radiation treatment focused on half of the chest, followed by surgery to remove that portion of the lungs, in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.  

7. SBRT with Immunotherapy for Mesothelioma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether adding stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to immunotherapy as part of second line treatment for mesothelioma will improve the modest response rate of immunotherapy alone, provide local control/cytoreduction to sites of gross disease, and decrease symptomatic burden while improving outcomes.

    

    

8. A Study to Evaluate Treatment of Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Syndrome with Melatonin in Patients with Comorbid Alcohol Use Disorders

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to demonstrate the feasibility of assessing delayed dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) in patients with comorbid AUD and DSWPD utilizing a combination of questionnaires and laboratory assay of salivary melatonin levels, and to examine the impact of low-dose melatonin on SOL and overall sleep quality in patients withcomorbid AUD and DSWPD with delayed DLMO compared to those without delayed DLMO.

9. An Expansion Study to Evaluate Dose Escalation, Safety and Tolerability of BND-22 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of BND-22 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab or with cetuximab. The study will enroll advanced cancer patients with unresectable or metastatic disease who are refractory to or are not candidates for standard approved therapy and will be comprised of two parts - an initial "3 + 3" dose escalation phase with subparts 1A (monotherapy BND-22), 1B (BND-22 in combination with pembrolizumab) and 1C (BND-22 in combination with cetuximab) followed by a dose expansion phase (part 2) 

10. A Prospective Registry for Patients with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Polysomnographic REM Sleep without Atonia and Controls

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to follow patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) over time and learn which types of RBD patients may be at risk of developing other diseases.
