Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. Brain Tumor Repository

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The main objective of the Brain Tumor Repository is to allow access to coded patient data by researchers both inside and outside of the Mayo Clinic system so that important research questions can be answered.  Biospecimens will be collected and curated including excess fresh tissue collected during routine surgery, peripheral blood and urine at routine clinical followup times.

2. Retrospective and Prospective Lymphedema Database

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study will be collection of standard and routinely obtained data specifically in the preoperative evaluation; operative room, postoperative/hospitalization period, and long term follow from the electronic medical record. 

3. A Study to Compare the Cosmetic Outcome of Superomedial and Inferior Pedicle Breast Reduction

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the cosmetic outcome of Superomedial and Inferior Pedical Breast Reduction.

4. A Study to Evaluate Outcomes of Shoulder Arthroplasty

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes and complications in patients who have received a hemiarthroplasty, anatomic total shoulder, or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

    

5. A Study to Analyze Surgical Outcomes and Predictors of Treatment for Hip Diseases

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is designed to:
   -analyze effects of surgical treatment
   -improve surgical care and quality of life of patients with hip problems/diseases
   -ID predictors of surgical outcomes to identify/improve future treatments
   -Collect data, images, from patients undergoing surgical treatment of hip disorders (we will not be collecting social security numbers to send to Washington University).

6. Patient-Centered Outcomes in the Surgical Treatment of Uterovaginal Prolapse

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to compare two types of surgery for the treatment of uterovaginal prolapse to determine which surgery works best from a patient's perspective and has the lowest number of short-term and long-term complications.

7. A Registry to Follow Long-Term Outcomes for Mother and Child Pairs After Fetal Surgery for Spina Bifida

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to form a registry of data on the long term physical and mental health outcomes of the mother and child following fetal surgical repair for spina bifida.

8. A Study to Evaluate Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Reducing Anastomotic Stenosis

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is evaluate the safety of allogeneic adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell (AMSC) use during hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula and arterial bypass creation and its effectiveness on improving access maturation and primary anastomotic patency.

9. A Registry Called Every Child for Collecting Data and Biology Specimens on Younger Patients with Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this registry called Every Child, is to collect data and biospecimens from multiple body sources for younger patients with cancer over time. Gathering health information over time from younger patients with cancer may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.

10. Metastatic Tumor Research and Outcomes Network

    Rochester, Minn.

    The registry aims to collect patient information such as patient demographics, co-morbidities, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic data, as well as information on adverse events and HRQOL outcomes specific for patients with metastatic spine tumor(s).
