One type of infection that is possible after bone marrow transplant is called an invasive fungal disease (IFD), a type of fungal infection that has the ability to spread throughout the body. In this study, rezafungin will be compared with the currently approved drugs for the prevention of IFD. The currently approved drugs are referred to as the standard antimicrobial regimen (SAR) which is posaconazole or fluconazole. We want to learn if rezafungin is safe and tolerable, if it is effective in preventing IFD compared to the standard treatment and to find out how much rezafungin is in blood over time after study drug has been given.

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.

Researchers hope that using Fisetin, an antioxidant, will reduce inflammation in the body caused by sepsis, which could help your body and organs have more time to recover. Placebo in this study will be something that looks similar to the study treatment, but does not contain any active drug. Everyone will receive 4 pills, but your group will determine how many of the pills are Fisetin. Researchers will look at the potential effects Fisetin or placebo has on inflammation in the body and how sick participants are at 7 days and 28 days.

This study is recruiting people who have developed an infection of the lower intestine (the colon) by bacteria called Clostridioides difficile (abbreviated C. difficile or C. diff). The standard treatment for this infection is with antibiotics, but in some people, the infection keeps coming back. The purpose of this research is to test whether an investigational drug can prevent a return of the infection. We want to make sure LMN-201 is safe when used as part of standard of care for C. diff, and we want to see if we can improve treatment and reduce re-infection.

The purpose of this research study is to look at the safety and effectiveness of pritelivir given orally (by mouth for a maximum of 42 days) for people with an impaired immune system who have recurrent lesions caused by the form of HSV that does respond to treatment with acyclovir.

The purpose of RESTORATiVE303 is to see if the study drug, which is called VE303, is safe and effective in preventing another episode of Clostridioides Difficile Infection (CDI). VE303 is an investigational drug that has 8 strains of live bacteria, called “commensals.” Commensals are the type of bacteria that live in harmony with the body, without harming health. These specific bacteria are often found in the intestines of normal, healthy people. They were selected for inclusion in VE303 because they rarely infect humans (mostly in very weakened patients), they do not carry any toxins that can make one sick, and they are not known to carry any risk of creating or spreading resistance to antibiotics.

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of a new medication being studied for babies who are exposed to cytomegalovirus during birth. This is called congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV). Cytomegalovirus is the leading cause of hearing loss and the leading viral cause of developmental delays in children. If a baby participates in this study, in addition to the study medication, he/she will still receive the current best treatment for cCMV, which is oral Valganciclovir.

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.

We are running this research study to learn about Obeldesivir (ODV) for people with RSV infection who have not been hospitalized for treatment. People in the study will take ODV or placebo (an inactive substance) for up to 5 days.

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.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and efficacy of PC945 when given in combination with the antifungal therapy that is normally given for this condition, also known as the standard of care (SoC). This study will also assess how PC945 is processed in the body (e.g., distributed, transformed, and removed) by measuring the levels of PC945 in your blood and lungs; this is called pharmacokinetics (PK).

We are studying an investigational medicine for treatment of people in the hospital with COVID-19. This medicine is investigational because it can only be used in research. We are trying to find out if this investigational medicine is effective when given in addition to the current standard treatment for COVID-19. We are also trying to make sure it is safe for people who are sick in the hospital to take. The treatment being tested in this study is not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other national government agency.

The purpose of this open-label Expanded Access Protocol (EAP) is to provide access to MBP134, for treatment of Sudan Virus Disease (SVD). Patients will receive a single IV infusion of 50 mg/kg MBP134. Patients will be monitored and assessed daily through discharge for safety and the incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs), and of all adverse events (AEs) during infusions.

We know that patients who have undergone a solid organ transplant are at higher risk for severe influenza infections and may not develop a robust antibody response to a single dose of the influenza vaccine. The purpose of this study is to better understand the body’s response to two doses of the high-dose influenza vaccine compared to one dose during an influenza season.

This study will look at an investigational study drug, called olorofim, to determine how safe the study drug is, how well it is tolerated and whether it is effective compared to AmBisome® (a standard of care treatment) to treat invasive fungal disease (IFD). We expect that you will be in this research study for up to 18 weeks or just over 4 months.
