1. A Study to Test Nivolumab with Usual Chemotherapy Treatment or Usual Chemotherapy Treatment Alone to Treat Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Cancer

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of adding nivolumab to the usual chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin with gemcitabine) versus the usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back (recurrent) or spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nivolumab with the usual chemotherapy may work better than the usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with nasopharyngeal cancer.

2. A Study of DNA/RNA Sequencing Results on the Clinical Management of Patients with Advanced Malignancies

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

   The purpose of this study is to assess practice patterns and changes in treatment recommendations based on the results obtained from a clinically available, comprehensive next generation DNA/RNA sequencing assay. A database of paired clinical and sequencing data will also be established for future research.

3. Study of Breast Cancer Risk Assessment in Female Patients with Benign Breast Disease

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to to bring molecular risk prediction for breast cancer into the clinical arena through: the establishment of a large tissue repository from a retrospective cohort of women with benign breast disease with complete and long-term clinical follow-up to identify those who developed breast cancer (cases) and those who did not (controls); the application of potential biomarkers of risk to this archival tissue set; and, the discovery of new, potentially relevant biomarkers of risk in fresh and frozen specimens of benign breast disease. 

4. Impact of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy on the Peripheral Blood Immune Phenotype in Operable Breast Cancer, the ENHANCE Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to evaluate whether pre-NAC peripheral blood immune phenotypes (defined by mass cytometry) are associated with pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with operable breast cancer, and to evaluate whether the baseline peripheral blood immune phenotype differs between patients with breast cancer and age-matched healthy controls.

5. Treating Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Trastuzumab Treatment with Carvedilol to Reduce Incidence of Heart Failure

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate different strategies of cardiovascular therapy with Carvedilol, aiming to reduce the incidence of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decline and heart failure (HF) in patients undergoing curative intent Trastuzumab for breast cancer.

6. Breast MR

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to examine the capability of contrast enhanced breast PCD-CT in staging breast cancer within the breasts and regional nodes of human subjects. Developing and using a PCD-CT imaging technique and postprocessing algorithms, dedicated for breast cancer detection.

7. Cell Saver During Tumor Resection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The aims of this study are to investigate the presence of tumor cells after filtration of autologous blood products by intraoperative cell saver, and to demonstrate the feasibility of intraoperative blood salvage during intralesional tumor resection.

   Intraoperative blood salvage is a relatively safe and cost-effective alternative to allogeneic blood transfusion during procedures with large volume blood loss. Salvaged blood products are washed and filtered before reinfusion into the patient. Given the theoretical risk of systemically re-infusing samples contaminated with tumor cells, many surgeons refrain from using intraoperative blood salvage. Aside from a few small studies, there is a paucity of data on the ability of leukocyte reduction filters to remove tumor cells from salvaged blood products. Additionally, no studies to date have investigated this during intralesional tumor resections.

    

8. A Study to Develop a Biorepository of Blood Samples from Cancer Patients Participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) Protocol

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a biorepository of blood samples  from cancer patients participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) protocol. These samples will be used for future biomarker discovery and other translational studies. 

9. A Study of Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate (Lutathera®) in Patients with Inoperable, Progressive Meningioma after External Beam Radiation Therapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to estimate the efficacy of LUTATHERA treatment in patients with recurrent grade 1 meningioma as measured by 6-month PFS rate, and to estimate the efficacy of LUTATHERA treatment in patients with recurrent grade 2 or 3 meningioma as measured by 6-month PFS rate.

    

10. Evaluating Markers which Might be a Predictor of Pancreatic Cancer or Precancer by Analyzing the Secretions (fluid) from a Pancreatic cyst

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate molecular markers which might be a predictor of pancreatic cancer or precancer by analyzing the secretions (fluid) from a pancreatic cyst, pancreas fluid and tissue from a resected pancreatic cyst.
