1. An Open Label Follow-Up Study to Evaluate the Long Term Safety and Efficacy of L-CSA in Patients with a Diagnosis of CLAD-BOS after they have completed participation to BOSTON-1 and BOSTON-2 studies

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of L-CsA plus Standard of Care (SoC) in the treatment of BOS in single (SLT) and double lung transplant (DLT) recipients.

   Enrollment will be limited to patients who have completed 48 weeks participation in either the BT-L-CsA-301-SLT (BOSTON-1) or BT-L-CsA-302-DLT (BOSTON-2) trial. All patients in this clinical trial will receive L-CsA in addition to Standard of Care, regardless of randomization arm in prior trials.

2. A Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of INC280 Alone and in Combination with Erlotinib, When Compared to Chemotherapy in Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients with EGFR Mutation and Amplified cMET

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose, the next recommended study dose, and the anti-tumor activity and safety of INC280 alone and in combination with erlotinib, when compared to standard platinum with pemetrexed chemotheapy in adult patients who have EGFR mutated and cMET amplified advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer,and have acquired resistance to prior EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

3. A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of TreT in Subjects with PAH Currently Using Tyvaso

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) subjects on a stable regimen of Tyvaso after switching to a corresponding dose of TreT.

    

    

    

4. A Study of LY2875358 in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Participants

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the study drug known as LY2875358, administered alone or in combination with a second drug named Erlotinib, in participants affected by a defined type of lung cancer (MET biomarker diagnostic positive Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer) that experienced a disease progression during the most recent treatment with Erlotinib.

5. A Study to Evaluate Wellness Coaching for Caregivers of Thoracic Transplant Candidates

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a health coaching intervention on the stress and burden of caregivers of patients awaiting heart or lung transplant.

   Hypotheses:  Caregivers will have traits and behaviors pre-transplant that will predict caregiver readiness, quality of life, and transplant recipient outcomes. Specifically, thoracic pre-transplant caregivers report stress, symptoms of anxiety or depression, and perceive high caregiver burden. These factors may be amenable to pre-transplant intervention to improve overall patient and caregiver outcomes.

   Aims, purpose, or objectives:  We will conduct a pilot trial to test whether caregivers of heart and lung transplant candidates who receive wellness coaching will experience improvement in caregiver-related distress. We will also explore the relationship between caregiving and factors such as uncertainty, resilience, stress level, and affect.

6. A Study to Compare Radiation Therapy + Immune Therapy Treatment (Atezolizumab) for Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., La Crosse, Wis., Albert Lea, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of adding radiation therapy to the usual maintenance therapy with atezolizumab versus atezolizumab alone in patients who have already received atezolizumab plus chemotherapy for the treatment of small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of the lung or to other parts of the body (extensive stage). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving radiation therapy in addition to atezolizumab may extend the time without extensive small cell lung cancer growing or spreading compared to atezolizumab alone.

7. Evaluation of the Effects of Caffeine, Via the ACE2 Receptor, on Clinical Severity of COVID-19 Disease

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess levels of caffeine intake among patients who tested positive for COVID-19 infection and compare that to disease severity.

8. Study of Safety of Foradil in Patients with Persistent Asthma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess whether the risk of serious asthma-related events (asthma-related hospitalizations, asthma related intubations, and asthma related deaths) in adolescents and adults (12 years of age and older) taking inhaled formoterol fumarate/fluticasone propionate combination is the same as those taking inhaled fluticasone propionate alone.

9. A One-Time DNA Study for Vasculitis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to identify genes that increase the risk of developing vasculitis, a group of severe diseases that feature inflammation of blood vessels. Results of these studies will provide vasculitis researchers with insight into the causes of these diseases and generate new ideas for diagnostic tests and therapies, and will be of great interest to the larger communities of researchers investigating vasculitis and other autoimmune, inflammatory, and vascular diseases.

10. A Study to Test How Effective and Safe GLPG1690 is for Subjects With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) When Used Together With Standard Medical Treatment

    Rochester, Minn.

    The primary purpose of this study is to see how GLPG1690 works together with current standard treatment on lung function and IPF disease in general. The study will also investigate how well GLPG1690 is tolerated (side effects).
