1. A Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Phase 3 Study of the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Brincidofovir Versus Valganciclovir for the Prevention of Cytomegalovirus Disease in CMV Seronegative Kidney Allograft Recipients

   Rochester, Minn.

   To compare the efficacy of brincidofovir (BCV) to valganciclovir (vGCV) for the prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in kidney transplant allograft recipients who are CMV seronegative pretransplant and received a kidney from a CMV seropositive donor.

2. Comparison of Respiratory Pathogen Detection in Upper Versus Lower Respiratory Tract Samples using the Biofire Filmarray Respiratory Panel

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of the FilmArray Respiratory Panel in nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid collected from immunocompromised hosts (ICH).

3. Detection of Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Synovial Fluid

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the tests' performance when compared to the detection of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) using the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria-based definition of PJI for diagnosing PJI. This criteria-based definition of PJI places emphasis on culture techniques that identify pathogens, but also provides for minor criteria that can be used to diagnose PJI. This study will also calculate the tests' clinical sensitivity, clinical specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV).

4. A Study to Evaluate COVID-19 Testing Using Saliva

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the concordance of nasopharyngeal and saliva samples using molecular polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing (copying DNA smples).

5. Assessing Patient Outcomes Following Treatment with Ceftolozane/Tazobactam (C/T)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the real-world utilization of ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T) and to assess patient outcomes.

6. A Study to Evaluate Whether or Not Extracellular Counts and Content Can Diagnose Alcoholic Hepatitis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if extracellular (EV) counts and content can differentiate Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH) from alcoholic liver disease as well as end stage liver disease due to other causes.

7. A Study to Evaluate CPI-006 with Standard of Care vs. Placebo with Standard of Care in Mild-to-moderately Symptomatic Hospitalized Covid-19 Patients (Enrolling by Invitation Only)

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the time to recovery of CPI-006 plus Standard of Care (SOC) versus placebo plus SOC in hospitalized participants with mild to moderately symptomatic Covid-19 infection.

8. Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Use in COVID-19 Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this research is to determine if CGM (continuous glucose monitors) used in the hospital in patients with COVID-19 and diabetes treated with insulin will be as accurate as POC (point of care) glucose monitors. Also if found to be accurate, CGM reading data will be used together with POC glucometers to dose insulin therapy.

    

9. Cellular Senescence and COVID-19 Long-Hauler Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to test if senescent cells and their secretome contribute to Long-Hauler Syndrome and if a clinical trial of senolytic drugs, which selectively eliminate senescent cells, should be initiated. 

10. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Remdesivir to Treat Coronavirus Disease 2019 in an Outpatient Setting

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effietiveness of remdesivir (RDV) in reducing the rate of of all-cause medically attended visits (MAVs; medical visits attended in person by the participant and a health care professional) or death in non-hospitalized participants with early stage coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to evaluate the safety of RDV administered in an outpatient setting.
