1. Genomic and Environmental Basis of Imperforate Anus

   Rochester, Minn.

   The study aims are to develop a consent-based IRB proposal that will enroll newborns who have imperforate anus.  The proposal will include permission for chart review and database information storage, to develop a database that will include MRN, imperforate anus phenotype, information on other congenital malformations, syndromic diagnosis if available, demographic information, and to develop a biobank of DNA and white blood cell samples from infants with imperforate anus. If patients are undergoing a skin biopsy for a medically indicated reason, cells will be requested.

   Imperforate Anus, also known as anal atresia, is a rare birth defect.  Unable to pass stool through the gastrointestinal tract, this condition can result in death of the newborn and emergency surgery is required once discovered.  More than two thirds of affected infants have other birth defects that include other parts of the gastrointestinal tract, airway, heart, skeleton, kidneys, eyes, or ears. The exact prevalence of imperforate anus in the newborn population is unknown. 

2. A Study to Develop a Registry for Outcomes and Predictors in Pouch-Related Disorders

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to create a prospective registry of patients with pouch-related conditions to allow for longitudinal assessment of outcomes at 3, 6 and 12 months after a enrollment with a specific diagnosis (acute pouchitis, CADP, CARP, or CD of the pouch).

3. A Study to Evaluate Evacuation Mechanisms Using Advanced Brain Imaging

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objective of this study is to compare the central neural circuitry with fMRI (7T) in 30 asymptomatic healthy controls, 30 constipated patients without DD, and 30 constipated patients with DD at rest (functional connectivity analysis), during rectal distention to desire to defecate and urgency, and during evacuation. 

    

    

    

4. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Determine the Optimal Dose for the Expansion Cohorts of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Refractory Solid Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in combination with pembrolizumab, followed by expansion to examine effectiveness of combination therapy in patients with refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) or Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

5. Validation of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Knowledge Questions (Emma)

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The aim of this study is to test the validity of the current question database in a large cohort of children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in several pediatric gastroenterology centers. 

6. A Safety to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosolized Chemotherapy in Ovarian, Uterine, Colorectal, and Gastric Cancer Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) in 2 groups of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), either due to primary ovarian, uterine, or gastric carcinoma (Arm 1) or to primary colorectal carcinoma (Arm 2), based on treatment-related adverse events reported by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.  

7. A Study to Evaluate the Effects of Tradipitant on Satiation, Gastric Volume, Gastric Accommodation, and Gastric Emptying in Healthy Volunteers

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of tradipitant relative to placebo in healthy volunteers:

   • Difference in fasting GV;
   • Difference in postprandial GV and in accommodation volume (that is, postprandial minus fasting gastric volumes);
   • Difference in gastric emptying (T1/2, emptying at 2h and emptying at 4h);
   • Volume to fullness (sensation of usual postprandial fullness) and maximum feeling of fullness (MTV).

8. A Study to Assess Intestinal Barrier Function and Permeability in Patients with Functional Dyspepsia

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate, using several novel techniques, potential pathophysiologic abnormalities that could lead to the development of symptoms of functional dyspepsia.

9. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Diaphragmatic Breathing on Reflux Symptoms in Outpatients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to establish if abdominal breathing exercises can reduce symptoms associated with reflux.

10. Mayo Clinic Inflammatory Bowel Disease Repository

    Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this research study is to collect clinical information and human samples from patients with IBD. The data collected will be used to create an organized, accessible resource of human samples for biological research in IBD.
