-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of AF-219 given to subjects with a treatment resistant chronic cough.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of the Cystic Fibrosis Patient Registry is to gather and maintain data on all patients with the disease so that current and accurate data can be provided to researchers and clinicians regarding practice patterns, age and gender distributions, clinical outcomes, mortality and morbidity rates, and so that epidemiologic research can be performed.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether post-ICU assessment predicts PICS at 3 months and to validate a screening tool to identify patients at risk for PICS.

For patients with this type of cancer, the standard of care is treatment with chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is typically not used. This is because radiation to the entire lining of the lung has many side effects that are often severe including damage to the lung (pneumonitis). There is a new radiation technique using Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) that has been shown to reduce many of the side effects of standard radiation therapy. This type of radiation therapy specifically targets the lining of the lung, where you have your cancer, and reduces the risk of damaging the lung itself. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and implementation of standard pleurectomy/decortication (removal of the surface lining of the lung) performed at other centers. Patients will undergo pleurectomy/decortication chemotherapy and hemithoracic pleural IMRT to the pleura in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study istoevaluate the effectiveness and safety of JZP-258, an oxybate mixed-salts oral solution being developed as a low sodium alternative product for Xyrem.
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to describe the occurence of adverse events which lead to the reduction in dose of afatinib in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer, who have common EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) mutations.
-
Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if the reduction in TMPRSS2 activity via direct inhibition with Camostat mesilate combined with standard of care (SOC) treatment will increase the proportion of patients alive and free from respiratory failure at Day 28 in SARS-CoV-2 as compared to SOC treatment with placebo.
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ixazomib in patients with scleroderma.
-
Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Lamprene (Clofazimine) to treat non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections.

Rochester, Minn.
In the developed world critical illness is routinely treated in an intensive care unit (ICU) by highly specialized physicians, nurses and support staff. This model of intensive care is spreading rapidly to low and middle income countries and as it spreads, challenges and limitations to this model arise. In resource-poor settings, inadequate human resources, training, and equipment all present barriers to safe and effective use of life-saving procedures. The advances in medical informatics and human factors engineering have provided tremendous opportunity for novel and user-friendly clinical decision support (CDS) tools that can be applied in a complex and busy hospital setting. Real-time data feeds and standardized patient care tasks in a simulated acute care environment have been proven to have a significant advantage of a novel interface (compared to a conventional) in reducing provider cognitive load and errors. Currently researchers within the investigator's research group have developed and are pilot testing a simple electronic decision support tool: CERTAIN (Checklist for Early Recognition and Treatment of Acute Illness). This tool has been successfully tested and validated in simulated settings and is being implemented as pilot study in 18 countries. Worldwide infant and early childhood mortality continues to be very high partly due to the inability to recognize and respond aggressively to critical illnesses. Investigators expect that adaptation of the algorithms from CERTAIN has potential to be a powerful tool to improve on the medical care of children in developing countries. Investigators aim in this project is 1) to develop a pediatric adaptation of CERTAIN (CERTAINp) and 2) to implement it into clinical practice in resource-poor settings and evaluate the impact of the tool on the processes and patient outcomes.
