The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a new low-cost Virtual Reality Cognitive Training (VRCT) combined with concurrent cycling intervention called exergame on improving cognition in at-risk community-dwelling older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease and dementia. We will conduct this study in two phases: Phase I (Feasiblity Testing)aims: Aim1. Develop a prototype exergame that supports integrated, concurrent cycling and VRCT. Aim 2. Examine the feasibility of the exergame in older adults at risk for AD. Phase II (Effect Testing) aims: Aim 1. Develop a fully-featured version of the VRCT aspect of the exergame. Aim 2. Determine the efficacy of the exergame in older adults at risk for AD using an RCT. We hypothesize that cognitive improvement will be greatest for exergame subjects followed by cycling subjects, and least in control subjects. Aim 3. Assess the distraction effect of the concurrent VRCT in exergame on gains in aerobic fitness. We hpothesize that exergame subjects will achieve similar gains in aerobic fitness to cycling only subjects (difference is < 1 standard deviation).

The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether social buffering of stress physiology by friends remains effective later in puberty when the friend shares the load versus when they provide support but are not undergoing the stressor with the target child. There are four conditions: (1) Friend and Target both undergo the stressor, (2) Friend provides support but does not undergo the stressor, (3) Unfamiliar Peer and Target undergo the stressor, and (4) Alone (no partner).

The primary goal of this study is to determine the amount of three systemic markers of inflammation: 1) Hemoglobin A1c (Hgb A1c, 2) High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP), and 3) Haptoglobin (Hp) at 9 and 12 month follow-up post scaling and rootplaning (SRP) with and without minocycline HCl microspheres, 1 mg. Participants from a randomized controlled clinical trial approved by the University of Minnesota (UMN) Institutional Review Board (IRB) STUDY00004876 and registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03762915) identifying the effects of SRP with and without minocycline HCl microspheres, 1 mg on periodontal pathogens and systemic inflammatory markers in the blood serum will be invited to participate in this 9 and 12 month follow-up study. The HRP-508 and protocol for STUDY00004876 are provided. The 9 and 12 month follow-up (STUDY00009012) departs from the original protocol (STUDY00004876) by adding two follow-up visits.

The PHAR is a multicenter, prospective registry of newly evaluated patients at PHCCs in the United States who have either PAH or CTEPH. The goals of the PHAR include 1) measuring and improving quality of care (including assessing differences in adherence to evidence-based guidelines and establishing benchmarks for health outcomes), 2) determining the clinical effectiveness, comparative effectiveness, and cost effectiveness of treatment approaches, 3) understanding risk factors for outcomes and regional/center differences, and 4) facilitating funded clinical trials of new therapies and collaboration with the PAH community at large, including providers, patients, and their caregivers.

TRACK-FA is a multi-site, international, prospective, observational neuroimaging study in Friedreich’s Ataxia. The objective is to obtain natural history MRI and MRS data over time in the brain and spinal cord in a large cohort of FRDA patients and healthy control. This will permit validation of neuroimaging biomarkers in FRDA for future clinical trials. In addition to neuroimaging data, the study will collect data from clinical, cognitive and mood assessments as well as blood samples to measure blood markers (frataxin and neurofilament light chain). The present IRB protocol covers only subjects enrolled at the University of Minnesota.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether infertility and/or biomarkers of spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis differ in male osteosarcoma survivors treated with cisplatin with or without ifosfamide compared to male controls without a history of cancer. II. Evaluate whether cisplatin with or without ifosfamide for the treatment of osteosarcoma alters sperm deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the role of genetic susceptibility in the development of impairments in spermatogenesis or steroidogenesis with contemporary regimens for the treatment of osteosarcoma. OUTLINE: Participants complete a health questionnaire over 30-45 minutes. Patients also provide saliva and semen samples and undergo collection of blood.

The majority of drugs administered to children are used off label, and PK studies to define appropriate dosing are lacking across pediatric age groups and special populations of children. Challenges associated with clinical trials in children limit the ability to conduct PK and dosing trials in this population. Studies capitalizing on standard-of-care procedures have proven successful in characterizing the PK of drugs used in children. The purpose of this study is to characterize the PK of understudied drugs administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider. This study will serve as a tool to better understand drug exposure in children receiving drugs per SOC. The data collected through this initiative will provide valuable PK and dosing information for drugs in different pediatric age groups as well as special populations of children, such as premature infants, critically ill children receiving ECMO or CRRT, children with Down syndrome and children with obesity, for which dosing may vary due to altered PK. In addition, the data collected in this study will serve as preliminary data to design and plan the best and most efficacious BPCA trials, proof-of-concept studies associated with biomarkers, and data to support applications for extramural funding. All of the drugs studied in this protocol are used as standard of care in children and are approved in adults.

Study objective: To determine the safety and tolerability of Thyroid Hormone (T3) delivery into the lungs of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients, and to measure the effect of T3 on extravascular lung water in ARDS patients.

This is a study to assess the safety and efficacy of PR001A, an Aden-associated (AAV9) viral vector to treat neuronopathic Gaucher disease type 2 (GD2) in infants. PRA001A will be administered via suboccipital injection to the cisterna magna during a single neurosurgical session. GD2 is a fatal disease of early infancy that does not have any therapeutic options beyond palliative care. This study will enroll infants 0-24 months of age.

This study is a prospective, non-concurrent, multicenter study to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of smooth Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), 3D-printed titanium, and Porous PEEK interbody implants when used with cancellous allograft chips with Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA) or cellular allograft in subjects who undergo lumbar lateral interbody fusion at one or two levels. Patients will be followed up to 24 months post-surgery. Fusion rates and clinical outcomes of the 3 groups will be evaluated.

The study involves a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, crossover design with two different groups pairing the psychoactive drug psilocybin, or the active placebo Niacin, with a combination of perceptual tasks. The proposed study will address the critical need for more precise characterizations of the acute visual effects of the drug psilocybin by measuring the impact of acute psilocybin intoxication on a perceptual task known as visual surround suppression, compared to an active placebo control. We will obtain a psychophysical (behavioral) measurement of the impact of acute psilocybin intoxication on visual surround suppression in healthy human volunteers. Baseline data will be collected as participants complete the perceptual tasks pre-drug administration. Participants will repeat the tasks again three hours and five hours after an oral dose of psilocybin.

In this protocol, we will enroll pediatric, adolescent and adult patients diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). These patients will include probands diagnosed by newborn screening and their relatives subsequently diagnosed, as well other patients who are diagnosed with ALD due to other presenting signs and symptoms and subsequently were confirmed to have ALD. We will ask consenting subjects to provide a medical history (with verification via medical records), to participate in a semi-annual health survey and provide consent to collect biospecimens. The overarching goal of this work is to engage with families affected by ALD and to assemble a resource of clinical, medical, and biological data that will allow of to better understand the natural history of ALD, and how this is affected by newborn screening. The initial focus will be on patients within Minnesota, but participation will be open to any family interested in the study, as this will be web-based. This registry and biobank, together with other research conducted in tandem, will possibly provide information describing the natural history of ALD and outcomes with interventions. It is anticipated that the data collected will further our understanding of the natural history of the disease, basic biology of adrenoleukodystrophy, diagnosis and outcomes. Ultimately, this research may lead to new avenues for early diagnosis and development of safer and more effective therapies for ALD.

The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) study, referred to as Pediatric MATCH, will match targeted agents with specific molecular changes identified using genomic sequencing technologies in refractory/recurrent tumors from children and adolescents with cancer. The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH study (APEC1621) is considered one study under one IND consisting of a Master Version Control protocol, screening protocol component and multiple subprotocol components, with each component being contained in its own separate document. Each “component” consists of the protocol document and its associated informed consent document. The Master Version Control Protocol is the overarching administrative protocol that will keep an up-to-date record of the current version of the screening protocol component and each subprotocol component of Pediatric MATCH. Since each subprotocol component operates independently from the other subprotocol components contained in Pediatric MATCH, each has its own version date. Likewise, the screening protocol component has its own version date since changes in any of the subprotocols may not require changes in the screening protocol.

Hepatic Energy Fluxes

This is a single center Phase I/II study to determine the safety of the administration of mutation reactive autologous lymphocytes with knockout of the CISH gene in adults with metastatic gastrointestinal epithelial cancer that have failed prior therapy.

This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them. The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first two phases of therapy: Induction and Consolidation. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, in order to classify patients into post-consolidation treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance I, delayed intensification, interim maintenance II, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. Other aims of this study include investigating whether treating both males and females with the same duration of chemotherapy maintains outcomes for males who have previously been treated for an additional year compared to girls, as well as to evaluate the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

Participants will include 60 caregivers of children with newly diagnosed nephrotic syndrome. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to UrApp or SOC and followed for 1 year. Primary outcomes are medication and urine monitoring adherence. Secondary outcomes are self-efficacy, patient-reported quality of life, relapse detection, and hospitalizations.

Phase II Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, 12-Week Treatment, 3-Arm, Parallel-Group, Placebo-Controlled Study

The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) study, referred to as Pediatric MATCH, will match targeted agents with specific molecular changes identified using genomic sequencing technologies in refractory/recurrent tumors from children and adolescents with cancer. The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH study (APEC1621) is considered one study under one IND consisting of a Master Version Control protocol, screening protocol component and multiple subprotocol components, with each component being contained in its own separate document. Each “component” consists of the protocol document and its associated informed consent document. The Master Version Control Protocol is the overarching administrative protocol that will keep an up-to-date record of the current version of the screening protocol component and each subprotocol component of Pediatric MATCH. Since each subprotocol component operates independently from the other subprotocol components contained in Pediatric MATCH, each has its own version date. Likewise, the screening protocol component has its own version date since changes in any of the subprotocols may not require changes in the screening protocol.

A prospective, randomized, active (warfarin) controlled, parallel-arm clinical trial to determine if patients with an On-X aortic valve can be maintained safely and effectively on the factor Xa inhibitor apixaban

This is an ancillary study to the Carotid Revascularization and Medical Management for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis study (CREST-2). Study-wide 500 patients from CREST-2 will be enrolled, all of whom receive cognitive assessments at baseline and yearly thereafter as part of the CREST-2 protocol. All subjects enrolled in CREST-H will get an MRI perfusion scan to look for hemodynamic flow impairment. The study groups will be CREST-2 patients randomized to either revascularization (CEA or CAS) or to intensive medical management alone. Among those who are found to be hemodynamically impaired and have baseline cognitive impairment, the cognitive exam at 1 year will determine if those assigned to the revascularization arm in CREST-2 will have better cognitive outcomes than those in the medical-only arm. It is further hypothesized that those who have baseline cognitive impairment without flow impairment will not not benefit from revascularization. Cognitive exams will take place at baseline and at follow-up yearly up to 4 years to examine long term outcomes. MRI scans will be done at baseline, with follow-up scans at 1 year for those who had baseline flow impairment. Linear regression will be used to assess the magnitude of the treatment differences (revascularization versus medical management alone) between those with flow impairment compared to those without flow impairment.
