1. Will Making the HPV Vaccine Available at Mayo Clinic Express Care with Use of Electronic Point of Care Reminder Improve Overall Vaccination Rates Among an Empaneled Adolescent Population?

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if a medical record prompt at the time of a medical consult will help to address lapses in routine immunizations, including the HPV vaccine.

    

    

2. Stiripentol in Dravet Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn.

   The patient has failed all other available agents and has intractable epilepsy due to Dravet Syndrome. Stiripentol is highly efficacious in Dravet Syndrome. The overall goals of therapy with Stiripentol are primarily to significantly reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.

3. A Study of Environmental Effects on the Intestine Bacteria Commonly Present in Children and Adolescents with Multiple Sclerosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objective of this study is to understand how commensal (the living together of two organisms in a relationship that is beneficial to one and has no effect on the other) bacteria are associated with MS.

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. A Study to Investigate the Safety and Tolerability of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of Antisense Oligonucleotide STK-001 in Children and Adolescents with Dravet Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single-ascending doses of STK-001 in patients with Dravet Syndrome.

6. A Study to Evaluate Patient Reported Outcome Measures in Children with Eye Conditions

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objectives of this study are:

   • To evaluate patient-reported quality of life and functional vision across the spectrum of pediatric eye conditions;
   • To assess change in patient-reported quality of life and functional vision over time;
   • To compare the impact of different treatments on quality of life and functional vision;
   • To assess change in patient-reported quality of life and functional vision in response to treatment;
   • To determine associations between quality of life / functional vision scores and specific clinical and demographic characteristics.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Evaluation of Autonomic Function in Individuals With Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS)

   Rochester, Minn.

   Based on survey data, individuals with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) often experience symptoms of autonomic dysfunction however there are no reported studies in which these patients have had objective testing of the autonomic nervous system. This is a pilot study in which patients with CdLS will undergo the standard clinical testing for autonomic dysfunction with a autonomic reflex screen and thermoregulatory sweat test.

10. A Study of the Effectiveness of Daily Vitamin D3 Supplementation in Normal Weight Adolescents

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to measure the blood level of vitamin D in normal weight adolescents following a 12-week supplementation with Vitamin D3 2000 IU/day.
