Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.118 studies in Surgery (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Evaluate Biomarker Target Stimulation Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to understand how electrical stimulation of the brain can modulate and suppress interictal epileptiform activity as a step on the path to developing new therapies for epilepsy. A Study of Long-term Symptom Improvement and Recurrence After Operative Management of Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term symptom resolution and quality of life improvements after operative management of median arcurate ligament syndrome (MALS). A Study to Explore Ghrelin Levels with Primary Graft Dysfunction in Lung Transplant Recipients Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to investigate ghrelin, a peptide that mechanistically carries the promise of therapeutics benefit for diverse aspects of morbidity associated with lung transplantation. A Study to Analyze Gender Congruence After Gender Confirmation Surgery Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess the success and effectiveness of gender confirmation surgeries on eliminating gender incongruence and improving life satisfaction, and compare patient’s status with the preoperative results. Breast Cancer: Can We Predict Pathological Complete Response following Neoadjuvant Treatment? Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This project will investigate whether ctDNA analysis in newly diagnosed stage I, II, III breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant systemic therapy can predict pathological Complete Response (pCR). A Study to Assess Cisplatin and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children and Young Adults with Hepatoblastoma or Liver Cancer After Surgery Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine how well cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or liver cancer after surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, 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 combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells. Outcomes Database to prospectivelY aSSEss the Changing TherapY Landscape in Renal Cell Carcinoma (ODYSSEY RCC) Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine distinct patterns of change in the quality of life and symptom burden in mRCC patients receiving therapy. A Study to Evaluate Perceptions of Midline Sternotomy Scar in Children and Young Adults Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how children and young adults perceive their midline sternotomy scars (in terms of appearance, associated symptoms, consciousness, satisfaction with appearance/symptoms, and impact on quality of life)? Eliminating Breast Cancer Surgery in Exceptional Responders with Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy Rochester, Minn. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how often breast cancer recurs (returns after treatment) in the breast in patients who have been treated with chemotherapy and have had follow-up radiation therapy (but not surgery) and are in complete remission (no evidence of disease). This is an investigational study. Radiation therapy is delivered using FDA-approved and commercially available methods. The study doctor can explain how radiation therapy is designed to work. About 120 participants will be enrolled on this multicenter study. Up to 90 may take part at MD Anderson. 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 Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. 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.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
