Neuromodulation and Cognitive Training for Substance Use Disorders

The relapsing nature of Stimulant use disorder is a major obstacle to successful treatment. About 70% of those entering treatment will relapse within one year. To improve treatment outcome, new interventions targeting the underlying brain biomarkers of relapse vulnerability hold significant promise in reducing this critical public health problem. The overarching goal of this project is to expand the traditional expertise in non-invasive neuromodulation at the University of Minnesota towards developing novel paired-neuromodulation approaches using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for new addiction treatments that support long-term abstinence. This study will allow us to investigate whether the pairing of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) stimulation and cognitive training can lead to improved treatment outcomes as it pertains to executive functioning and maintenance of abstinence. This paired-neuromodulation approach can potentially be used as a therapeutic intervention to decrease relapse probability in addiction. The long term goal is to develop new addiction treatments that support long-term abstinence.

Alport Syndrome Treatments and Outcomes Registry (ASTOR)

The Alport Syndrome Treatments and Outcomes Registry (ASTOR) was founded in 2007 with the goal of facilitating clinical trials of new treatments for the disease. Because Alport syndrome is a rare disorder, rapid recruitment of sufficient participants for meaningful therapeutic trials will be greatly enhanced by pre-existing patient registries.

Graded Motor Imagery for Women at Risk for Developing Type I CRPS Following Closed Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures

Background: Distal radius fractures (DRF) account for nearly one-fifth of all fractures in older adults, and women experience them 5x as often as men. Most DRF occur with low impact injuries to the wrist with an outstretched hand, and are often managed via closed treatment and cast immobilization. Women sustaining a DRF are at risk for upper limb immobility, sensorimotor changes, edema and type I complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Since CRPS onset is likely influenced by alterations in the brain’s somatosensory region, a rehabilitation intervention, Graded Motor Imagery (GMI), aims to restore cortical representation, including sensory and motor function, of the affected limb. To date, there are no studies on the use of GMI in reducing risk of or preventing the onset of type I CRPS in women with DRF treated with cast immobilization. Due to a higher likelihood of women with this injury developing type I CRPS, it is important to early intervention is needed. Methods/Design: This article describes a six-week randomized comparative effectiveness trial, where the outcomes of a modified GMI program (mGMI) + standard of care (SOC) group (n=33) are compared to a SOC only control group (n=33). Immediately following cast immobilization, both groups participate in four 1-hour clinic-based sessions, and a home program for 10 minutes three times daily until cast removal. Blinded assessments occur within 1 week of cast immobilization (baseline), at three weeks post cast immbolization, cast removal, and at three months post cast removal. The primary outcomes are patient reported wrist/hand function and symptomology on the Patient Rated Wristand Hand Evaluation, McGill Pain Questionnaire, and Budapest CRPS Criteria. The secondary outcomes are grip strength, active range of motion as per goniometry, circumferential edema measurements, and joint position sense. Discussion: This study will investigate the early effects of mGMI + SOC hand therapy compared to SOC alone. We intend to investigate whether an intervention, specifically mGMI, used to treat preexisiting pain and motor dysfunction might also be used to mitigate these problems prior to their onset. If positive effects are observed, mGMI + SOC may be considered for incorporation into early rehabilitation program.

Adrenoleukodystrophy National Registry Study

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.

Myeloablative Allo HSCT With Related or Unrelated Donor for Heme Disorders

The primary research element is to determine whether a graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen of post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus and MMF will reduce the likelihood of chronic GVHD in patients receiving a standard hematopoietic myeloablative stem cell transplant. The treatment related components of this protocol are established clinical practices and are considered non-investigational. The primary endpoint is cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment at 1 year post-transplant.

Second or Greater Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Using Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC)

This is a treatment guideline for a second or greater allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) using a reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen. This regimen, consisting of busulfan, fludarabine, and low dose total body irradiation (TBI), is designed to promote engraftment in patients who failed to achieve an acceptable level of donor-derived engraftment following a previous allogeneic HSCT. While it will primarily be applied for the treatment of non-malignant diseases (NMD), on occasion it may be used to treat patients with malignant disorders as well.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of any disease for which a second or greater hematopoietic stem cell transplant is needed due to insufficient donor chimerism following hematopoietic recovery after previous HSCT. Determination of "insufficiency of donor chimerism" will be made by the treating transplant physician. Occasionally donor derived engraftment may be present, but sustained aplasia or failed recovery of sufficient hematopoiesis requires administration of a second graft. This intervention may be used for both situations.
• Donor Availability: Patients considered for transplantation must have a sufficient graft as based on current criteria of the University of Minnesota Blood and Marrow Transplantation Program
• Transplantation using sufficiently matched related donors (such as matched siblings) or unrelated donors will be considered. Both granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (GCSF) stimulated peripheral blood grafts and bone marrow grafts will be considered, although bone marrow will be the priority.
• Cord blood grafts, both related and unrelated, are also eligible. As this protocol will use a reduced intensity regimen, this protocol will use the current recommendations of the University of Minnesota for choosing cord blood grafts. If a single cord blood unit cell dose is insufficient, double cord transplantation should be considered if sufficiently matched cord blood units are available. The priority of choosing cord blood donors is based on the current institutional recommendations.
• Exclusion of Metabolic Disorder or other Inherited Disorder Carrier Status from related donor and unrelated cord blood grafts as appropriate for primary disease. At the discretion of the treating transplant physician, an allograft from the previous donor may be used, if available.

High Dose Chemotherapy and Autologous Transplant for Neuroblastoma

This therapy involves the use of consolidation chemotherapy, autologous stem cell rescue, post-transplant radiation therapy and a maintenance phase with Isotretinoin (Accutane, 13-cis-retinoic acid) therapy. If available, patients should also consider post-transplant therapy with cytokines and monoclonal antibody (ch14.18) on a COG or NANT trial. Ideally, patients should begin consolidation chemotherapy no later than 8 weeks after the start of Induction Cycle #6. (It is strongly recommended to begin consolidation within 4-6 weeks after starting Induction Cycle #6).

A Study of the Drug Letermovir (LTV) as Prevention for Recurrent of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection

This is an open-label single arm trial of letermovir (LTV, Prevymis) for prevention of recurrent CMV infection in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients with history of CMV infection. The study is being conducted at MSKCC and at the University of Minnesota. Thirty-six HCT recipients who are ≥12 years of age, had clinically significant CMV infection treated with CMV antivirals and are at high risk for recurrent CMV infection, defined as receiving a transplant from an HLA mismatched donor (including cord blood), acute or chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) requiring either topical and/or systemic steroid treatment within 14 days prior to enrollment, or T cell-depleted (CD34+-selected) allograft, will be eligible to participate in the study.

• Patients treated with a medication whose administration with LTV is ontraindicated and whose discontinuation is not possible. Contraindicated medications include pimozide, ergot alkaloids and pitavastatin or simvastatin when co-administered with cyclosporine.
• Imminent demise (expected survival <6 weeks)
• Documented positive result for human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV-Ab) or for hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV-Ab) with detectable HCV RNA, or hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) at any time prior to HCT
• Need for mechanical ventilation and/or vasopressor support at the time of enrollment
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Plans to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial
• History of current evidence of any condition, therapy, lab abnormality, or other circumstance that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the study, or would place the subject at undue risk as judged by the investigator, such that it is not in the best interest of the subject to participate in this study. Exclusion criteria for observational cohort:
• Clinically significant CMV infection during the 100 days following HCT. Clinically significant CMV infection defined as either CMV viremia requiring preemptive therapy with CMV antivirals or CMV end organ disease (EOD)
• Grade 3-4 GVHD
• Cord blood as cell source for HCT
• Treatment with systemic steroids (>0.5mg/kg for 2 weeks or longer) prior to enrollment

The ACT Trial: Effects of Combined Aerobic Exercise and Cognitive Training in MCI

This study will be a multi-site, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will screen older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using 4 steps (over the phone, in-person interview including informed consent, medical verification, exercise stress test/magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]). We will enroll 128 participants (target 96 completers, assuming 25% attrition rate at 6 months). After baseline assessment, participants will be enrolled and randomized within age (65-74 years of age or ≥75 years of age) and study site (Minnesota or Rochester) strata centrally at the University of Minnesota (UMN) to one of four groups: ACT, cycling only, SOP only, or control with equal allocation and using a randomization scheme generated by our UMN biostatistician (CI: Vock). Group allocations will be concealed to all investigators and data collectors. The interventions will last for 6 months with 12-month follow-up. Outcomes include: 1) cognition: composite measures of executive function and episodic memory, 2) AD signature cortical thickness: composite using structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 3) functional connectivity in DMN: resting-state using functional MRI (fMRI), 4) aerobic fitness, and 5) clinical and pathological AD conversion. Cognition and aerobic fitness will be assessed at baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months; AD conversion at 6, 12, and 18 months; and AD signature cortical thickness and DMN at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months. PIs Yu and Lin have developed and tested strategies in their preliminary studies to successfully ensure the protection of human participants.

Role of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Type 1 Gaucher Disease (GD1)

The purpose of this study is to measure levels of blood and brain chemicals related to oxidative stress and inflammation in healthy volunteers and individuals with Type 1 Gaucher disease (GD1) to see if these levels are altered by GD1. We will also examine if there is a change in these blood and brain chemicals after participants begin taking oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is available both as a prescription medication and a natural product that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
