1. A Study of the Making and Storage of a Bank of Special Stem Cells for Use in Future Research and the Growth of New Cells

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

   The purpose of this study is the growing and storage of stem cells, made using the tissue samples of patients and others. As new technologies develop, these cells may be able to be grown into new cells to replace those damaged by disease or injury.

2. Validating Watson Talent Software as a Useful Tool to Aid Program Directors in Selecting Applicants to Interview

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to validate Watson Talent software as a useful tool to aid program directors in their task of selecting applicants to interview, reducing time and costs to review applications and improve reliability, accuracy, and precision of this process.

3. A Study to Compare Nivolumab Administered Subcutaneously vs Intravenous in Melanoma Participants Following Complete Resection

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the drug levels of nivolumab administered subcutaneously versus intravenous administration in participants with melanoma following complete resection.

4. A Study to Evaluate Thymoma Recurrence

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate thymoma recurrence rates in patients who underwent thymectomy.

5. Artisan Aphakia Lens for the Correction of Aphakia in Children

   Rochester, Minn.

   To determine the effectiveness of the ARTISAN Aphakia lens in the treatment of aphakia and to precisely define the associated risks and, if possible, identify particular groups of patients who may be at high risk of developing complications resulting from the surgical procedure of implanting an ARTISAN Aphakia lens.

6. 3D Ultrasound Imaging for Breast Cancer Diagnosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveess of a new 3D ultrasound imaging technology combining B-mode, microvessel imaging, shear wave elastography, and machine learning for breast lesion diagnosis.

7. 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.  

8. Image-based Mapping of Brain Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to combine MRI images with histologic and genetic analysis of cancer (from blood and tissue samples) to improve the overall accuracy of diagnosis and effectiveness of cancer treatment.

    

9. Study of Adjuvant Cemiplimab Versus Placebo After Surgery and Radiation Therapy in Patients With High Risk Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to compare disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) treated with adjuvant cemiplimab, versus those treated with placebo, after surgery and radiation therapy (RT). The secondary objectives of the study is to compare the overall survival (OS) of high-risk CSCC patients treated with adjuvant cemiplimab, versus those treated with placebo, after surgery and RT -To compare the effect of adjuvant cemiplimab with that of placebo on patients' freedom from locoregional recurrence (FFLRR) after surgery and RT; to compare the effect of adjuvant cemiplimab with that of placebo on patients' freedom from distant recurrence (FFDR) after surgery and RT; to compare the effect of adjuvant cemiplimab with that of placebo on the cumulative incidence of second primary CSCC tumors (SPTs) after surgery and RT; to evaluate the safety of adjuvant cemiplimab and that of placebo in high-risk CSCC patients after surgery and RT; to assess cemiplimab pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity in human serum.

10. A Study to Evaluate Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management (CAM) Procedure with Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) for Shoulder Osteoarthritis (OA)

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of concentrated bone marrow aspirate administration after Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management (CAM) surgical procedure, and to determine pain relief, disease progression and range of motion in patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder.
