Rochester, Minn.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of bezlotoxumab in children aged 1 to <18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) who are receiving antibacterial drug treatment. The primary hypothesis is that the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) of bezlotoxumab after treatment of pediatric participants with bezlotoxumab is similar when compared to the AUC0-inf of bezlotoxumab after treatment of adults with bezlotoxumab,

The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the United States (US) is relatively low. However, immigrant populations in the US from Asia and sub-Saharan Africa have substantially higher prevalence than the general population and are consequently at a significant risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to assess influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) in preventing pandemic influenza virus illness and infection, and to assess the incidence of pandemic influenza virus infection and illness among Health care providers (HCP), first responders (FR) (police, fire, and Emergency Medical Technicians [EMT]) and school personnel (SP).

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of using ABT-493/ABT-530, to the combination of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir in treating adults with genotype 3 chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the success, recurrence, and complications over the 90 day follow up period for the treatment of C. difficile infection in adult solid organ or stem cell transplant patients.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to compare a standard steroid dosing algorithm to a novel biomarker-tailored steroid dosing algorithm for patients receiving corticosteroids for community acquired pneumonia. Patients with severe community acquired pneumonia may benefit from adjunctive corticosteroid therapy. The optimal patient selection, dosing and duration of steroids is unknown.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to explore lay understandings toward participating in and perceptions of consent to biospecimen research and valuation of genetics in SARS-COV-2 infection, testing, immunity, and vaccine development, to explore professional attitudes toward and perception of barriers and facilitators for implementating genetic technology to facilitate understanding of SARS-COV-2 infection and immunity, improvement and scale-up of testing, and vaccine development, and to identify ethical, social, and inter-professional aspects of microbial genetic technology implementation in population health surveillance, clinical test development, and vaccine research.We hypothesize that engagement with individuals whom directly experience and/or are impacted by the increasing use of SARS-Cov-2 genetic technology, including COVID-19 Pandemic Response Biobank contributors and interdisciplinary expert teams will help identify ethical and social issues in adopting and implementing emerging technology.

Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this study is to assess the experience of low income pregnant women at an inner-city health system with seeking and receiving care.
Significant disparities in health care and birth outcomes are seen in the US during normal times. During COVID-19, limited access to health care resources, social distancing and stay at home orders, and shortages of food and other necessities may exacerbate these disparities.

Rochester, Minn.
Achilles tendon rupture is a common injury and surgical treatment poses the risk of infection. An infected Achilles tendon is a difficult entity to treat due to a thin surrounding soft tissue envelope as well as poor tendon vascularity. In this retrospective review of cases examined at Mayo Clinic-Rochester, we seek to elucidate the clinical outcomes of patients who have undergone treatment for an infected Achilles tendon.

The microbiome within the gut lumen has been found in prior studies to differ in individuals with C. difficile infection (CDI) in comparison to those without diarrhea. The microbiome associated with the mucosal surface on the colon has been noted to differ from that of the lumen in other clinical scenarios, although this has not been studied in depth in patients with CDI. The goal of this research is to characterize the mucosal microbiome in patients with CDI after treatment to characterize this microbiome and determine the effect on recurrence of CDI.
