1. A Phase II Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of RO7198457 Versus Watchful Waiting in Patients With ctDNA-positive, Resected Stage II (High Risk) and Stage III Colorectal Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of RO7198457 versus watchful waiting in patients with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) positive, surgically resected Stage II/III rectal cancer, or Stage II (high risk)/Stage III colon cancer.

2. Genetic Testing in Screening Patients with Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Been or Will Be Removed by Surgery (The ALCHEMIST Screening Trial)

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This research trial studies genetic testing in screening patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been or will be removed by surgery. Studying the genes in a patient's tumor cells may help doctors select the best treatment for patients that have certain genetic changes.

3. A Study to Evaluate a Virtual Assistant for Plastic Surgery Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a recently developed artificial intelligence virtual assistant (AIVA) on plastic surgery patients and providers’ experience and leverage the use of new technologies to promote high-quality service and meaningful relationships between plastic surgeons and patients.

4. Brachial plexus patients undergoing upper limb amputation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to follow Mayo Clinic patients with severe brachial plexus injuries who underwent upper limb amputation. 

5. A Study to Evaluate the Use of Micropulse Trans-Scleral Cyclophotocoagulation Laser (MP-TSCPC) for Glaucoma Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the Micropulse Trans-Scleral Cyclophotocoagulation Laser (MPTSCPC) after 1 day, 1 week,1 month, 3 months, 6 months and one year of follow-up. Its primary objective is to conduct a prospective observational study on the efficacy of using MP-TSCPC to treat glaucoma patients.

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

7. 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.

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. 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.
