Rochester, Minn.
Influenza (the flu) is a common illness that usually occurs in autumn and winter. The flu is usually mild, but can cause serious illness or death. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an antibody against the flu (called intravenous hyperimmune immunoglobulin or IVIG) in people who are hospitalized for severe flu.
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding clofazimine in a treatment regimen for patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections will improve low clinical success rates in NTM infections, its mode of action, and literature reported clinical data in both NTM and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The main objective of this study is to identify minimally invasive, blood-based methylomic markers by comparing blood cfDNA methylation patterns among HIV-infected and uninfected HCC patients, and in HIV-infected but HCC-free patients.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine the percentage of patients at moderate risk for infective endocarditis (IE) who are receiving antibiotic prophylaxis post-2007 in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
-
Eau Claire, Wis., Rochester, Minn.
The primary objective of Aim 1 of this study are to identify personal and social determinant of health-related key factors that present as a barriers to use of non-emergent telehealth care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aim 1 will use a qualitative study design to understand the experiences of patients along with social determinants of health (SDOH). The results of the qualitative work will be used by the research team to design the survey for administration in Aim 2.
The primary objectgive of Aim 2 of this study is to assess personal and social determinants of health that are associated with patient’s decision to prefer face-to-face visits compared with telehealth appointments for non-emergent care.

Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.
The first aim of this study is to verify that the TCR beta sequencing and curation platforms we will be using are able to identify patients with severe COVID-19 based on the TCR repertoires. This may be accomplished by testing and analyzing results between two cohorts: patients presenting acutely to MCF with mild COVID-19 and patients presenting with severe COVID-19. This will be accomplished by utilizing the the immunoSEQ Human T-cell Receptor Beta (hsTCB) Assay (Adaptive Biothechnologies) and the publicly available ImmuneCODE Open Access Database to confirm previously published data (PMID: 34253751). Both procedures will be performed by the company that created both platforms, Adaptive Biothechnologies.
The second aim of this study is to sequence the TCR receptors of participating patients and identify TCR motifs that may indicate a predisposition to (or protection from) severe SARS-CoV-2, leading to possible risk stratification of such patients, and whether or not age, gender or ethnicity has any contribution to said risk. This may require that we examine all three cohorts listed in the Subject Information section.
The third aim is to measure SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike and anti-nucleocapsid antibodies to distinguish patients that have not been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 to those that have been exposed.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to obtain a whole blood sample from which DNA will be extracted to study polymorphisms in immune response genes and other geneticvariants that may be associated with an increased risk of disease progression among individuals with infectious diseases of public health importance who are enrolled in qualifying INSIGHT studies.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to measure changes of the anti- A/H1N1, anti-A/H3N2, and anti-B influenza virus strains serum circulating antibodies (as assessed using hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay) levels in elderly patients.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of patients, who are not healthcare workers (HCWs) and have no prior training in swab collection, to collect, package, and ship their own self-collected MT swab specimens (both commercial and Mayo Clinic 3-D printed versions) by following written instructions.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to better understand why patients get infectious complications after colon or rectal surgery by identifying the bacteria present on the skin and within the gastrointestinal tract in both healthy volunteers undergoing a colonoscopy, and in patients undergoing colon and rectal surgery. By comparing the bacteria within these two groups, we will better understand the causes of postoperative infectious complications.
