Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to:
-
To determine the prevalence of MBL in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are to begin therapy with DAA, and compare with clinic controls who are seen in the general medicine clinic at Mayo Clinic
-
To determine the correlation between the specific subtype of MBL (CD5- MBL, atypical CLL-phenotype MBL and CLL-phenotype MBL) relative to the HCV genotype
-
To assess the proportion of individuals with MBL who have an improvement in the circulating monoclonal B-cell population following therapy with DAA

A Phase 3b, single arm, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the sustained virologic response 12 weeks post dosing (SVR12) rates of 8 weeks of treatment with the glecaprevir (GLE)/pibrentasvir (PIB) combination regimen to the historical SVR12 rate of 12 weeks of treatment with the GLE/PIB in treatment-naïve adults with chronic HCV GT 1, 2, 4, 5, or 6 infection and compensated cirrhosis.

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.

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 demonstrate the efficacy and safety of RBX7455 (an oral microbiota based drug) for the treatment of recurrent clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in subjects who have had at least one recurrence after a primary episode (i.e., at least two episodes) and have completed at least two rounds of standard-of-care oral antibiotic therapy. Study subjects will have their diarrhea resolved, i.e., would be having less than 3 watery bowel movements at the time of study enrollment for 48 hours or more.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment of BK polyomavirus with the use of Brincidofovir.

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.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the Alere™ PBP2a test combined with pharmacist review of antimicrobial therapy, on clinical outcomes and cost in hospitalized patients with sterile site S. aureus infection.

Rochester, Minn.
This clinical trial is studying biomarkers in diagnosing cervical lesions in patients with abnormal cervical cells. Studying biomarkers in abnormal cervical cells may improve the ability to find cervical lesions and plan effective treatment.
