1. A Study to Learn More About the Relationship between Fetal DNA and the Maternal Immune System

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to learn about the ability of fetal DNA to activate the immune system.

2. A Study of Patients Treated for Chronic Granulomatous Disease Since 1995

   Rochester, Minn.

   Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited immune system abnormality in which bone marrow transplantation has been shown to be curative. However the risks of transplantation are high and not all patients with CGD may need to undergo this high risk procedure. The purpose of this study is to determine the long term medical condition and daily functioning of patients with CGD after a transplant and if possible, compare these results to patients who do not undergo a transplant.

3. A Study of Patients Treated for Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Since 1990

   Rochester, Minn.

   Wiskott - Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare serious medical condition that causes problems both with the immune system and with easy bruising and bleeding. The immune abnormalities cause patients with WAS to be very susceptible to infections. Depending on the specific type of primary immune deficiency diseases, there are effective treatments, including antibiotics, cellular therapy and gene therapy, but studies of large numbers of patients are needed to determine the full range of causes, natural history, or the best methods of treatment for long term success. This multicenter study combines retrospective, prospective and cross-sectional analyses of the transplant experiences for patients with WAS who have already received Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) since 1990, or who will undergo HCT during the study period. The retrospective and prospective portions of the study will address the impact of a number of pre and post-transplant factors on post-transplant disease correction and ultimate benefit from HCT.  The cross-sectional portion of the study will assess the benefit of HCT 2 years post-HCT.

4. Risk Prediction for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Associated Diabetes Mellitus

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors for ICI associated diabetes mellitus and to assess the severity and natural course of this immune related adverse effect.

5. Collection of Tissue and Blood in Patients with Allergic and Immunologic Disorders

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   Allergic and immunologic disorders are very common but some are very poorly understood. Numerous studies of the epidemiology, characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of these disorders are urgently needed to identify and optimally treat affected patients. Though numerous challenges impact the progress of research in this area, specimens are needed to test new hypotheses and methodologies.  We aim to create a registry and biorepository of tissue and fluid specimens for future studies.

6. A Study to Investigate the Implications of Loss of Gut Microbiota Diversity and Long-term Clinical Outcomes in alloHSCT Recipients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   In this study we seek to investigate the implications of loss of gut microbiota diversity by correlating them with long-term clinical outcomes in alloHSCT recipients.

7. Study the Variations in the Humoral and Cellular Immune System in Healthy Volunteers

   Rochester, Minn.

   Study the variations in the humoral and cellular immune system over time (longitudinally over 2 years) in normal healthy volunteers.

8. A Study to Evaluate a New Anti-Cancer Vaccine for Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Given After Tumor Removal by Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the immunotherapeutic product GSK 2302032A when given to Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients, after tumor removal by surgery.

9. Spatial and Molecular Architecture of Tumor Environments Responsive to IO (immuno-oncology) Therapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to gain stepwise understanding of the fundamental biology governing human antitumor immunity, by systematic study of the tumor-immune interface at the level of the TME, taking advantage of the heterogeneity of different interacting tumor and immune cell subsets.

10. A Study to Better Understand How to Predict and Manage Patients Who are at High Risk for Developing Rheumatic Immune-related Adverse Events While Receiving Treatment for Melanoma

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to:

    1. Understanding how to better predict and manage patients at high risk for rheumatic irAEs and tailor therapy without diminishing cancer treatment efficacy and,
    2. Further inform our understanding on the pathogenesis of classic rheumatologic diseases.
    3. Establish a repository of biological samples from patients with irAE and corresponding rheumatologic
