Rochester, Minn.
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.

The purpose of this study is to extend the previous SERES-004 study in patients who had a recurrence of clostridium difficile infection within the first 8 weeks of participation.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to investigate disease causing and other organisms which athletes may be exposed to while participating in the Summer Olympic Games. The study will also investigate the organism and metabolism environment of stool, blood analysis and presence of abnormal cell structures in Olympic athletes in comparison with other elite athletes.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment of BK polyomavirus with the use of Brincidofovir.
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The primary objective of this program is to provide Daclatasvir (DCV) for 24 weeks to be given in combination with Sofosbuvir (SOF) to post-liver transplant subjects with chronic hepatitis C recurrence and who have a serious or immediately life-threatening condition or experienced an event that has decreased their life expectancy to < 12 months, including advanced fibrosis or fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis.This protocol will be opened at specific clinical sites for the treatment of individual subjects for whom there are no other treatment options and will allow for the collection of safety and efficacy data.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to test whether metagenomic shotgun sequencing can identify pathogens causing cardiovascular infections such as infective endocarditis or myocarditis.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to use renal and kidney plus pancreas transplant patient samples to validate both the clinical utility of the CMV scoring algorithm and develop a clinically useful scoring guide for the BK virus immune competence assay.
-
Rochester, Minn.
This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing losartan vs placebo for outpatients with COVID. Every patient that is tested in the ED and drive through clinic will receive a brochure with information about the study. COVID positive will be called, and will receive supplies (medication, thermometer and swabs) at home.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purposes of the clinical trial are to determine whether the SA4Ag vaccine can prevent postoperative Staphylococcus aureus infections in patients who are undergoing elective spinal fusion surgery, and to evaluate the safety of SA4Ag in patients who are undergoing elective spinal surgery.

Mankato, Minn., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Eau Claire, Wis., La Crosse, Wis., Albert Lea, Minn.
This study is designed for patients with a cancer of the oropharynx (tonsils or base of tongue) caused by the HPV virus. Traditional treatment involves surgery followed by six weeks of daily radiation therapy. This study investigates a less intense radiation treatment following surgery that uses half the dose of radiation given over two weeks rather than six weeks. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive the less intense treatment versus the traditional treatment by coin flip. Patients are twice as likely to receive the less intense treatment during randomization.
