Rochester, Minn.
The specific aims of the study are to:
Aim 1. To determine the feasibility of a community-engaged research partnership to support rapid SARS-CoV-2 testing for symptomatic patients of all ages in the underserved population during the COVID-19 crisis. We will pilot a rapid testing strategy at OCHC using Mayo Clinic Laboratory (MCL) diagnostic processing.
Aim 2. Compare the effectiveness of community-driven messaging in increasing uptake of rapid SARS-CoV-2 testing compared with usual sources of health information. We will draw a simple random sample of OCHC patients (N=1000, age 18+) with 1:1 randomization of communication about COVID-19 and availability of rapid testing from OCHC versus usual sources (control).

The purpose of this study is to develop algorithms that will enable earlier identification and testing triggers for COVID-19 in otherwise asymptomatic patients, and to identify baseline characteristics from patients who ultimately test positive for COVID-19 that may predict clinical trajectory during the evolution of disease.

Jacksonville, Fla.
The objectives of this study are to assess the ‘longer-term’ clinical, pulmonary, cardiac, functional, and psychosocial sequelae of COVID-19 survivorship, and to investigate whether exercise therapy enhances recovery of and/or improves pulmonary and cardiac function, exercise capacity, clinical status, and overall HRQoL in COVID-19 survivors.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to compare cardiopulmonary exercise testing with no filter to pre- and post-flow sensor placement.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of inhaled molgramostim, administered open-label, to adult cystic fibrosis subjects with chronic pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection, with or without ongoing antimycobacterial guideline based combination therapy.

Rochester, Minn.
The primary aim of this study is to determine if there is any evidence of viral shedding within the gastrointestinal or pulmonary system in patients with a prior recent negative nasopharyngeal PCR test. This will be of critical importance to the practice of endoscopy during this pandemic as it will help: 1) determine if a pre-endoscopy testing strategy is adequate to ramp-up access to semi-urgent and eventually elective procedures, while allowing the decreased utilization of limited or costly personal protective equipment (e.g., N95 respirators) while still keeping the GI endoscopy staff safe; and 2) realize the false negative rate of pre-procedural testing, which is vital to inform procedural practice policy and operations.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The objective of the treatment program described here is to make benznidazole available in the United States on a compassionate-use basis for treatment of T. cruzi infection—specifically, for patients who have acute or congenital infection, reactivated infection, or chronic infection (without advanced cardiac disease)—and for prophylaxis of infection, when indicated in the setting of proven exposure. Benznidazole will be provided for individual patients who meet the eligibility criteria, on request of the treating physician, after consultation with CDC staff.

Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
We are doing this research study to find out if partners of subjects with oropharyngeal cancer are infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) in their mouth or throat. Human papillomavirus causes some types of oropharyngeal cancer. It is not known if sexual partners of patients are at higher risk of having oral or throat HPV infection. It is also unknown if certain sexual behaviors increase the risk of oral HPV infection

We are testing this hypothesis through three phases for which we have developed three protocols. In this phase, with this protocol, we have two primary aims.
- Aim 1: To assess acceptability and gather input on the design and content of an as-of-yet undistributed reminder-recall to parents of children 11-12 years of age due for an HPV dose that emphasized the pain-reducing measures and the nurse visits
- Aim 2: To evaluate the process of distributing the reminder-recalls to parents of children 11-12 years of age due for an HPV dose that emphasized the pain-reducing measures and the nurse visits

This randomized, open-label, multicenter phase 2 trial will assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of anti-influenza plasma in subjects with influenza A or B. Hospitalized subjects with influenza A or B that have either a low oxygen level or a high respiratory rate will be eligible for study participation. This study will enroll adults, children and pregnant women.
