The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of NXC-201 to treat AL amyloidosis. The people in this study have AL amyloidosis that came back or does not get better with treatment. NXC-201 is a cellular therapy made from your own white blood cells called T cells. If you join this study, we will collect some of your T cells and modify (change) them in a lab. This modification will help your T cells find and kill abnormal plasma cells. These genetically changed T cells are called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. NXC-201 is a CAR T cell therapy and is given intravenously (by vein). To prepare your body for NXC-201, you will also get fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, which are chemotherapy drugs. After you get NXC-201, you will be in the hospital for at least 10 days.

We expect that you will be in this research study for one visit, approximately 7 hours total. Compensation and transportation expenses will be provided.

This study is intended to find the highest amount of the study drug, VT3989, which can be safely taken by patients without causing too many side effects and to determine the recommended dose and dosing schedule for further research, how much of the study drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes to be cleared, and if the study drug will shrink tumors.

This study is about understanding how subglottic stenosis (narrowing within the airway) affects voice, speech, and breathing sounds. Changes in airflow from airway narrowing can alter how the voice sounds, how speech is timed, and how breaths are taken during speaking. By using advanced, noninvasive sound analysis, we hope to identify patterns that may help detect airway narrowing earlier and track improvement after treatment.

This study aims to test the accuracy and speed of the pABR for future clinical use by recruiting infants and adults with a range of hearing loss profiles from normal hearing to severe loss.

This study compares the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFIRINOX) to modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) for the treatment of advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2 negative esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Adding irinotecan to the FOLFOX regimen could shrink the cancer and extend the life of patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers.

This drug study aims to estimate at initiation of treatment to the occurrence of disease progression or expiration at 1 years post autologous stem cell transplant of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients treated with BEAM autologous stem cell transplant combined with pembrolizumab given pretransplant and for 1 year post-transplant maintenance.

Letermovir (MK-8228) is a medication that is used to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease. This trial is testing letermovir in children and adolescents who weigh less than 40 kilograms and have had a kidney transplant. Letermovir is experimental in this trial. Everyone in this trial will get letermovir. The dose a child gets will depend on their weight at the start of the trial. The child, the trial doctor and the trial staff will know your child is getting letermovir and what dose they are getting.

This research study is being done so that we can better understand why women with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may have higher risk of cardiovascular disease as they get older. This study looks at how trauma and PTSD affect blood vessels in young women. The study is also testing whether a dietary supplement called beetroot juice might help improve the function of blood vessels in women suffering from PTSD. Study participation involves coming to the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis for two visits. Each of the visits with take about 3 and a half hours.

We are investigating ways to improve methods of brain stimulation. The purpose of this study is to try a new way to deliver transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the brain. Participants will be asked to come in for three separate 4-hour research visits. Each research visit will take place approximately seven days after the previous one. During the research visits, we will put a mesh cap on the head to measure electrical activity in the brain (also known as an EEG). Once the cap is on, we will use a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device to deliver small pulses of electricity to the brain to see how it reacts to the stimulation.

This study is being done to learn more about maridebart cafraglutide (MariTide [formerly AMG 133]) for people with heart failure (HF) and obesity in addition to their routine medical care. Participants will receive treatment with either MariTide or a placebo, which will be called a study drug. A placebo looks the same as the investigational medicine but contains no actual medicine.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of a device (Vocxi Health’s MyBreath Print®) to capture and measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath samples from women who have a pelvic mass and will be having surgery. The ultimate goal is to develop a screening test for ovarian cancer. We expect that study will take approximately 45 minutes and breath samples will be obtained before and after surgery.

The main purpose of this study is to see how safe and tolerable CNP-103 is for people with type 1 diabetes. CNP-103 is a nanoparticle (a tiny particle) containing special beta cell proteins. In each group of adults and teens, participants will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to receive either CNP-103 or placebo (like CNP-103 but contains salt water). Participants will have a 66% chance of receiving CNP-103 and a 33% chance of receiving placebo. The total duration of participation from the first Screening visit until the last assessment is approximately 208 days.

This retrospective, longitudinal project is to collect certain demographic and clinical health status information for entry into the CF Foundation Patient Registry (also known as PortCF). The registry has played an important role in CF research and will continue to do so. In addition, much of the same information is entered into the University of Minnesota Cystic Fibrosis Center Research Database. This patient database has been maintained since 1975.

The purpose of this study is to describe current knowledge and opinions about anal cancer screening among men who have sex with men (MSM), as well as their experience receiving guideline-compliant care aimed at anal cancer risk reduction using a large-scale survey disseminated via social media.

The overall goal of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of CPX-351 with daunorubicin and cytarabine on people with newly diagnosed AML to find out which is better, and to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the drug gilteritinib has when given with chemotherapy to children and young adults with newly diagnosed AML and the FLT3/ITD mutation or non-ITD FLT3 activating mutations.

The purpose of this study is to determine if microbiota transplant therapy (MTT) is an effective treatment for patients with alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, and alopecia universalis. We will be testing two different ways of doing the Microbiota transplant therapy (MTT): half the people who choose to be part of this study will take antibiotics before the transplant and half will take placebo antibiotics. We will collect 5 types of samples (2 or more times during the study): blood samples, skin samples, skin swabs, hair, and fecal samples.

We are conducting a research study for children ages 6-17 with patchy Alopecia Areata (AA). The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the safety, tolerability and efficacy of an investigational drug called Baricitinib. This study will compare the investigational drug to a placebo (inactive substance) to see how well the investigational drug works.

The I-SPY2 study uses 10 years of results to help your doctor understand more about your tumor and how to classify it better. This means your doctor will have more information and might be able to offer you a new treatment that could work better than the usual treatments. We need better treatments and better ways to identify which patients will benefit most from particular treatments.

Feeding problems are common among preterm infants. Left untreated they can cause problems that impact an infant’s ability to breathe and get the necessary nutrition they need to grow. In this study, we will learn how healthy term infants without feeding impairments feed. The SMART bottle system is made up of a disposable pressure-sensing nipple that monitors suction pressures during a feed, a wireless module that collects the measurements and sends them over Bluetooth to a tablet receiver. This system is compatible with Dr. Brown’s bottle systems. This part of the study will include 50 preterm infants.

This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, including lymphomas and desmoid tumors.

To ensure CDK4/6 inhibitors achieve their full clinical benefit, patients need to take them as prescribed, following a complex treatment schedule. Forgetfulness was the most common reason reported for missing doses of medication. Using the WiseBag along with CONCURxP or enhanced usual care may improve medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor.

The purpose of this research is to collect and store specimens and information about the recovery of the immune system following a stem cell transplant (HCT) or immunotherapy to treat a cancer or blood disease. Samples from many people are being collected and stored so they can be used for research now and in the future.

This study is to investigate, validate and address remaining technical challenges of new imaging techniques used on a portable MRI machine. The research study consists of a one-time study visit that could last approximately 2.5 hours.

The purpose of this study is to study the evolution of early life risk factors that may lead to cancer and other conditions. This is a prospective cohort study of families who reside in Minnesota.

The purpose of this study is to understand if a drug called baricitinib can help with thinking and memory problems after COVID-19 infection for people suffering with Long COVID. Some people have thinking and memory problems along with possible difficulty breathing, a racing heart, dizziness, and/or fatigue after COVID-19 called Long COVID. This includes things like having a hard time remembering people’s names, managing money, or keeping a job. For some patients, these issues may last several years. We still do not understand why these problems happen and why they last longer in some people. This study will look at the changes in brain function, heart function, and daily activities after taking baricitinib or placebo for people who experience Long COVID.
