-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this study is to utilize liver allografts from HCV seropositive donors into 10 HCV seronegative recipients.
-
Eau Claire, Wis., Rochester, Minn.
The primary objective of Aim 1 of this study are to identify personal and social determinant of health-related key factors that present as a barriers to use of non-emergent telehealth care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aim 1 will use a qualitative study design to understand the experiences of patients along with social determinants of health (SDOH). The results of the qualitative work will be used by the research team to design the survey for administration in Aim 2.
The primary objectgive of Aim 2 of this study is to assess personal and social determinants of health that are associated with patient’s decision to prefer face-to-face visits compared with telehealth appointments for non-emergent care.

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.

Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
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.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to better understand why patients get infectious complications after colon or rectal surgery by identifying the bacteria present on the skin and within the gastrointestinal tract in both healthy volunteers undergoing a colonoscopy, and in patients undergoing colon and rectal surgery. By comparing the bacteria within these two groups, we will better understand the causes of postoperative infectious complications.

Rochester, Minn.
This study is to see if PCR test developed at Mayo Clinic to diagnosis C. Difficile infections is able to predict the risk of recurrent infection.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of patients, who are not healthcare workers (HCWs) and have no prior training in swab collection, to collect, package, and ship their own self-collected MT swab specimens (both commercial and Mayo Clinic 3-D printed versions) by following written instructions.
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively collect longitudinal stool specimens and corresponding clinical and patient provided data from asymptomatic patients or those with history of exposure or patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 who are undergoing testing for the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus to enable high quality research.
-
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.
