Rochester, Minn.
This trial studies whether the nonavalent human papillomavirus vaccine given to adult women prior to kidney transplantation can help the body build and maintain an effective immune response during the post-transplant period when they receive immunosuppressive drugs to prevent transplant rejection. This study will help inform our scientific understanding about vaccine-induced immune responses among immunosuppressed individuals.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
This study will evaluate the effect of presatovir on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral load in autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients with an acute RSV upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), the effect of presatovir on development of lower respiratory tract complication, being free of any supplemental oxygen progression to respiratory failure, and pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of presatovir.

The purpose of this study is to obtain a whole blood sample from which DNA will be extracted to study polymorphisms in immune response genes and other geneticvariants that may be associated with an increased risk of disease progression among individuals with infectious diseases of public health importance who are enrolled in qualifying INSIGHT studies.
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to obtain and report outcome data for adult subjects who received systemic antifungal therapy (AFT) for the treatment of invasive mucormycosis (IM) or invasive aspergillosis (IA) caused by a non-fumigatus species.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to provide the lab with a source of human PBMCs and serum from normal and HIV-1-infected individuals. We wish to analyze cells from HIV-infected and non-HIV infected individuals for levels of various proteins and mRNAs that are relevant to HIV research.

Rochester, Minn.
This is a study of two different approaches for the prevention of CMV disease in liver transplant recipients. The primary purpose is to determine if Preemptive therapy is the same or better than Prophylaxis therapy for the prevention of CMV disease in CMV seronegative recipients that receive a CMV positive liver transplant. Patients meeting study criteria and who have provided informed consent will be randomized within 10 days of transplant to receive in an open label design, either antiviral prophylaxis with valganciclovir 900 mg orally once daily for 100 days or preemptive therapy (weekly monitoring for asymptomatic CMV viremia by plasma PCR) for 100 days with initiation of oral valganciclovir 900mg orally twice daily only at onset of CMV viremia and continued until plasma PCR is negative on two consecutive weekly PCR tests.

This is a Multicenter, Double-Blind, Parallel-Arm, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2 Study of the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Oral Full-Spectrum MicrobiotaTM (CP101) in Subjects with Recurrence of Clostridium difficile Infection

The primary goal of this study will be to assess whether stool collected and frozen from anonymous screened unrelated donors can be as effective as stool freshly collected from recipient's parents when used in Fecal Microbial Transplant for the eradication of recurrent Clostridium difficile infections in children. In the current protocols, which are more than 90% effective, each child who is receiving a fecal transplant has to provide their own donor stool, usually from a parent or close relative. This requires considerable screening costs for each case and is logistically complicated as the donor must be present and must stool just prior to the transplant. The investigators hope to show that a small number of healthy donors can provide stool samples which can be frozen and banked and then thawed for use in numerous patients. The primary goal is to show that Clostridium difficile will be eradicated as effectively (Greater than 90% success) when using the stool from the frozen donors.
The study will also evaluate the inflammatory response and intestinal microbiome in young children aged 1-3 years with Clostridium difficile infections to better predict which ones will respond to fecal transplantation and which ones have incidental infections. For this question the investigators will gather stool samples to check for lactoferrin, calprotectin, and alpha1antitrypsin, and 16s ribosomal RNA analysis in children before and after the fecal transplants. The goal is to see if there is an intestinal microbiome that predisposes some children to getting sick from Clostridium difficile versus just having it incidentally.

This is a Phase IV randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study in 1000 individuals aged 18 years or older, with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) who meet all eligibility criteria in endemic regions. This study is designed to provide data on the effectiveness of early antifungal treatment (Fluconazole, 400 mg/day) for coccidioidomycosis pneumonia (also referred to as Valley Fever (VF) Pneumonia or acute onset valley fever) vs. placebo in subjects with coccidioidomycosis pneumonia. Patients who are prescribed antibacterials by their health care provider for acute CAP will be randomized to receive either placebo or 400 mg/day of fluconazole for 42 days. The primary objective is to assess the clinical response of early empiric antifungal therapy with fluconazole through Day 22 in subjects with coccidioidomycosis pneumonia and are compliant with the study intervention.

The purpose of this study is to determine the percentage of patients at moderate risk for infective endocarditis (IE) who are receiving antibiotic prophylaxis post-2007 in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
