Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of molecular detection of microorganisms, detection of microbial proteins and antibodies against microorganisms, and inflammatory markers (e.g., leukocyte esterase, CRP) in synovial fluid for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI).
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding clofazimine in a treatment regimen for patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections will improve low clinical success rates in NTM infections, its mode of action, and literature reported clinical data in both NTM and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The main objective of this study is to identify minimally invasive, blood-based methylomic markers by comparing blood cfDNA methylation patterns among HIV-infected and uninfected HCC patients, and in HIV-infected but HCC-free patients.
-
Rochester, Minn.
Influenza (the flu) is a common illness that usually occurs in autumn and winter. The flu is usually mild, but can cause serious illness or death. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an antibody against the flu (called intravenous hyperimmune immunoglobulin or IVIG) in people who are hospitalized for severe flu.

Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for at least 20% of the healthcare associated blood stream infections in the United States. One of the most worrisome complications of S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) is infective endocarditis (IE).Our goal from this project is to prospectively validate the Predicting Risk of Endocarditis Using a Clinical Tool (PREDICT) scoring system and to assess the potential novel risk factors to optimize the PREDICT scoring system prior to formal implementation in clinical practice.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to establish whether therapeutic-dose parenteral anticoagulation improves outcomes (reduces intubation or mortality) by 30 days after randomization.
-
Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.
This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of colchicine in adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection and have at least one high-risk criterion. Approximately 6000 subjects meeting all inclusion and no exclusion criteria will be randomized to receive either colchicine or placebo tablets for 30 days.

Our group has explored the use of genomic RNA/phage display libraries derived from primary human malignant melanoma cells as a means of identifying antibody detectable targets on cancer cells (cancer vaccines or antibody guided therapeutics). In this approach, we isolate and affinity-column immobilize the IgG fraction from patient serum before and after immune therapy for melanoma, and expose the immobilized antibodies to bacteriophage expressing approximately 2x109 overlapping cDNA sequences of paired (same patient derived plasma and cancer cells) melanoma genomic RNA. Phage, expressing melanoma cDNA express the proteins/peptides on their capsid are “recognized” by the immobilized antibodies are retained in the column, and subsequently eluted for DNA sequencing. Comparison of the DNA profiles of the eluted phage using pre-immunotherapy and post-immunotherapy patient sera will reveal emergence of new antibodies (post-immunotherapy gain of antibodies) against proteins of potential interest for melanoma targeting. In the current proposal, we hypothesize that reacting COVID serum from patients that have recovered from COVID infection and compare to non-infected self-serum (if available) and control healthy volunteer serum (available in our lab) may identify protein targets that have developed as a result of the COVID infection and could be useful in the development of a COVID vaccine as well as a serologic test for anti-COVID immunity.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir (SOF)/GS-5816 fixed dose combination (FDC) with and without ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks and SOF/GS-5816 FDC for 24 weeks in adults with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and Child-Pugh (CPT) class B cirrhosis.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The primary purpose of the HCV-TARGET study is to establish a nationwide registry of patients undergoing treatment with antiviral therapies for chronic hepatitis C (HCV) at both academic and community practices.
