-
Rochester, Minn.
We purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnosis accuracy of the Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) measured by FibroScan® (both with M and XL probes) in all patients who are undergoing liver biopsy for any liver disease.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The main purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of Obeticholic Acid when used in patients with moderately severe alcoholic hepatitis. The researchers suspect that individuals with alcoholic hepatitis have certain abnormalities in how their body handles bile acids (a product made by the liver on a daily basis) produced by the liver. Obeticholic acid has been shown to affect bile acid abnormalities and thus it is possible that obeticholic acid may improve liver condition in individuals with alcoholic hepatitis.

An important means to control the COVID-19 pandemic is the rapid identification of infected individuals to allow quarantine and therapy to be promptly delivered. At home testing will soon be available, but requires reagents and introduces a delay. The possibility of combining a limited number of Mid-Turbinate (MT) nasal swab tests, Dried Blood Spot (DBS) serology, and smartphone-enabled electrocardiogram (ECG) tests may permit daily rapid, under one minute tests potentially, if this method proves to be effective. We plan to enroll 900 participants to determine if we can detect conversion in all modalities.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to assess patients suspected of recurrent C. difficile disease (rCDI) and using a combination of clinical and laboratory markers to determine disease versus post infectious irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with C. difficile colonization.
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to understand when patients are shedding active COVID virus RNA as detectable by viral culture, and if there are any correlates of the cessation of active viral shedding, such as presence of certain immunoglobulins.
Additionally, this study will take a discovery approach to the immune response to better understand how the body recovers or worsens during disease, and if there are opportunities to use that knowledge to develop treatments.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 remdesivir (RDV) regimens compared to standard of care (SOC), with respect to the time to discharge in participants with moderate coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 remdesivir (RDV) regimens with respect to the normalization of temperature and oxygen saturation through Day 14 in participants with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
-
Rochester, Minn.
The primary purpose of this study is to estimate the incidence rate of confirmed respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (and other confirmed respiratory viruses) infections and associated adverse outcomes.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to find the rate of Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and Hepatocellular Carcinoma in individual populations of African descendants living in Minnesota, and to see what the current knowledge, attitudes and practices of these immigrants are towards screening, vaccination, and disease management.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the Luminex anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG assay performed on self-collected dried blood spot samples collected pre- and post- SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
