There are certain genetic changes in the leukemia cell thought to drive the disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Ziftomenib is an investigational drug that blocks the menin pathway in hopes of preventing or slowing the leukemia cells from growing and dividing. The purpose of this study is to determine the safe dose of an investigational new drug (ziftomenib) used in combination with other study drugs i.e., venetoclax and azacitidine, to treat cancer. This will include an evaluation of side effects associated with ziftomenib in combination with the other study drugs and how ziftomenib works in combination with the other study drugs (venetoclax and azacitidine).

In this study we want to find out more about weight loss and how diet and medications can affect weight loss. This study will last for up to 58 weeks. There are two phases to the study: - A weight loss phase with prescribed meals that lasts 6 weeks. - A study medication/placebo phase that lasts up 52 weeks. You will not know if you are receiving the medication or the placebo.

According to the Minnesota Department of Human Services, about 290,000 adults in Minnesota need treatment for addiction. National data suggests that only 10% of those who need treatment receive it. The goal of the study is to determine public opinion and knowledge about opioid use disorder and its treatment.

This is a study about fitness and nutrition content on social media. You will be asked to complete a survey that should take 10 minutes or less. It will ask about your beliefs about fitness and nutrition, as well as online fitness, and nutrition content that your child may engage with. Study is taking place only on Monday 9/2 from 9 AM - 2 PM in the D2D building at the State Fair

The goal of this study is to learn more about how children (ages 5-8 years) describe their gender identities. We are also interested in learning more about the ways children think and develop. We will be giving children several tasks designed as games to assess flexibility in thinking, creativity, and the ability to take another person’s perspective.

No current studies have examined in vivo glenohumeral kinematics during the overhead volleyball spike despite the high prevalence of spike-related shoulder pain. The extreme shoulder positions achieved by volleyball players during the spike motion may contribute to unique deformations that could result in structural change or pathology of the rotator cuff and long head biceps tendons. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which GH kinematics differ between SAB and a simulated volleyball spike at a self-selected position of ball contact.

Paired sound and electrical stimulation can alter how the brain encodes sounds and the perception of sounds, as shown in emerging evidence from animal studies. The aim of this study is to develop measures for paired stimulation that can be used reliably. These measures assess the following aspects of hearing: basic hearing sensitivity and cochlear health, perception of loudness and pitch, and perception of speech and music/complex sounds. This will lead to a greater understanding in the hearing science community about how multisensory stimulation can alter activity in the auditory system and sound perception, which may lead to new techniques for improving hearing disorders.

We are interested in learning more about how preconscious thinking works. Preconscious thinking are thoughts you aren't actively thinking about but can be thought of quickly with the right trigger. It is similar to a waiting room for your thoughts. We believe that preconscious thoughts are important for learning more about symptoms related to suicide and psychosis. This research will help us better understand how the preconscious relates to these mental health outcomes. Participants will be asked to complete a research visit where they will complete computer tasks while being monitored with EEG and video recording. We'll also ask participants to complete pre-visit mood check-ins which can be done remotely.

This study evaluates the neural underpinnings of understanding speech in different listening contexts, such as listening to two talkers simultaneously or speech in background noise.

This study is recruiting children ages 5 months to less than 2 years learn about safety and effects of two Moderna study vaccines. The study vaccines are being designed to prevent respiratory tract infections caused by two common viruses, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Human metapneumovirus (hMPV). The child will be randomized to receive one of the two study vaccines or placebo. The placebo will look like the study vaccine but will not have a vaccine in it. The study lasts 24 months and the child will receive 3 injections with other study activities, such as blood draws and nose (nasal) swabs.

We will examine whether the benefits of brain stimulation on mental functioning can be enhanced if an individual is actively engaging the target brain networks while receiving brain stimulation. The study includes two separate sessions and people will complete either a cognitive task or a perceptual task while we are measuring the change in brain function with EEG. Please fill out the linked screening questionnaire to determine if you are eligible.

The purpose of this project is to learn about the stereotypes and discriminatory treatment that Black patients encounter to develop communication skills training and tools for clinicians that reduces the likelihood that Black patients feel stereotyped and discriminated against. We will ask you to participate in a two-hour focus group, either in-person or virtually.

Study to examine the physiological responses that occur during a hot flush in postmenopausal women

This study will compare the effectiveness and durability of intensive behavioral counseling vs. medical management plus low-intensity behavioral counseling on BMI, body fat, cardiometabolic risk factors, and quality of life in adolescents with severe obesity. We hypothesize that Wegovy (semaglutide) plus low-intensity behavioral counseling will elicit superior reductions in BMI and body fat and greater improvement in cardiometabolic factors and quality of life compared to intensive behavioral counseling at 56 weeks.

The purpose of this research is to better understand balance and walking in patients with Parkinson’s Disease. This research study uses small wearable devices that attach to clothing and can measure the body’s location while performing walking and balance tests.

Respiratory illnesses, including ear and sinus infections, colds, and pneumonias, are among the most common infectious diseases affecting Minnesotans across their lifespan. These diseases can be caused by many different types of microbes—bacteria, viruses and fungi—and different types of microbes may require different kinds of treatment. This research is being done to learn more about the specific types of microbes that cause respiratory infections in children and adults across the state of Minnesota over time. Antimicrobial resistance happens when microbes develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. Through this study, we will learn which types of genes are carried by microbes living in the respiratory tract by collecting and analyzing nasal and oral specimen.

We are asking people to participate in this study to help us learn more about how physiology (heart rate, sweating, temperature, etc.) of people with pain conditions changes based on perceived pain level. The goal is to use this information to help develop a new medical device designed to help better manage chronic pain, although we are only collecting information at this time, and there will be no treatment provided as part of this study. We expect that people will be in this research study for a maximum of 2 weeks.

The purpose of this pilot research study is to test whether a tool called “High-Resolution Manometry” can diagnose laryngeal dystonia (also known as spasmodic dysphonia) and measure how well treatment works. High-Resolution Manometry measures pressures from a small catheter that is passed from your nose into your throat. We believe that pressures in the throat might be different for people with laryngeal dystonia than for people without laryngeal dystonia, or with other types of voice disorders. If we can diagnose laryngeal dystonia shortly after symptoms start, we can get patients the treatment they need sooner.

The purpose of this study to examine the effects of cigarette smoking and drinking alcohol on the formation of DNA damage in the mouth. The overall goal is to identify DNA damage that may be important to the development of head and neck cancers.

This study it to test an investigational vaccine called mRNA-1647 that is being developed for preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people. CMV is a common virus that can spread easily through an infected person’s saliva or other body fluids such as blood, urine, and breast milk. We want see if the trial vaccine can prevent CMV infection in participants who have not been previously infected, to understand the safety (how many side effects you may have) of the trial vaccine, and to see if the trial vaccine results in participants making antibodies to CMV.

The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective ways to get rid of Staph aureus on body surfaces before surgery. We will determine if the participants can effectively get rid of the bacteria with the simple application of various treatment methods assigned to them. We will study if these methods are useful and cost effective in preventing the infections after surgery.

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.

This research is being done to collect blood and placenta samples to better understand how pregnancy impacts the health of mother and child. The goal of this research is to better understand what causes some pregnancy complications and how this impacts the longer term health of mothers and children.

The purpose of our research study is to increase our understanding on the human lung immune response to infection. We aim to use this knowledge to develop novel approaches on the prevention and treatment of lung infections. To accomplish this, we plan to obtain cells from the airways and blood of healthy volunteers to perform immune experiments.

This research is being completed to examine the cells, brain imaging, and speech in individuals with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder who are taking serotonergic medications such as Citalopram, Escitalopram, Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine, Paroxetine and Sertraline. The purpose of examining these is to try and see if we can predict signs of Dementia with Lewy bodies (a progressive form of dementia with an increase in decline of thinking, reasoning, and other functions). This may benefit others by enabling us to diagnose Dementia with Lewy Bodies sooner rather than later.

This study will be measuring brain activity using EEG and assessing motor skills and speech in children following cancerous brain tumor resection. No direct cancer treatments or objectives are being targeted.

TrialNet is an international research group dedicated to the study, prevention, and early treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is now understood as a disease that develops over time in stages. Stage 1 starts with the appearance of having two or more autoantibodies. This is followed by Stage 2, which is the development of abnormal blood glucose levels. Stage 3 is the clinical diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. This study will help us learn more about how Type 1 diabetes occurs through the screening of diabetes-related autoantibodies and monitoring individuals who have tested positive for these autoantibodies.

The purpose of this Health Participant Registry is to collect the names, contact information and answers to safety screening questions that assist in the determination of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility of individuals who have expressed interest in MR research.
