Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.539 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. CAncer Survivor CArdiomyopathy DEtection (CASCADE) Pilot Study Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to improve the cardiovascular care of adult cancer survivors by contributing much-needed evidence regarding optimal surveillance and treatment recommendations. This application’s objective is to obtain the data necessary to plan an adequately powered randomized clinical trial (RCT) across a nation-wide network that will define prospectively the clinical and economic efficacy of a screening program that uses AI-ECG and/or NT-pro-BNP in an at-risk adult cancer survivor population. A Study to Reduce Disparities in High-Risk Black Men (BM) With Advanced Prostate Cancer Using Patient-Centered Home Care Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a highly innovative project evaluating the feasibility of patient-centered home care (PCHC) as a new model of cancer care to reduce disparities and improve health related qualtiy of life (HRQoL) and patient reported-outcomes (PROs) in Black patients with advanced prostate cancer (CaP). Two Studies for Patients With High Risk Prostate Cancer Testing Less Intense Treatment for Patients With a Low Gene Risk Score and Testing a More Intense Treatment for Patients With a High Gene Risk Score Rochester, Minn., Albert Lea, Minn. The puporse of this trial is to compare less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer and low gene risk score. This trial also compares more intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in patients with high risk prostate cancer and high gene risk score. Abiraterone acetate may help fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of testosterone made by the body. Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving a shorter hormone therapy treatment may work the same at controlling prostate cancer compared to the usual 24 month hormone therapy treatment in patients with low gene risk score. Adding abiraterone acetate and apalutamide to the usual treatment may increase the length of time without prostate cancer spreading as compared to the usual treatment in patients with high gene risk score. Phase 2 Study with TTI-622 and TTI-621 in Relapsed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Rochester, Minn. The purpose of ths study is to find out more about the side effects of two new drug combinations for lymphoma, TTI-621 and pembrolizumab and TTI-622 and pembrolizumab, and what doses of TTI-621 and TTI-622 are safe for people to take. In addition, we want to learn if the drug combinations help your cancer. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) in Cervical Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to answer whether plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) obtained by serial analysis before, during, and following surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy for cervical cancer will allow for risk stratification, individualized treatment decision making, monitoring of treatment response, and early detection of residual or recurrent disease in patients presenting with human papillomavirus (HPV) mediated cervical cancer. A Study to See if Memantine Protects the Brain During Radiation Therapy Treatment for a Brain Tumor Rochester, Minn. This phase III trial compares memantine to usual treatment in treating patients with brain tumors that are newly diagnosed or has come back (recurrent). Memantine may block receptors (parts of nerve cells) in the brain known to contribute to a decline in cognitive function. Giving memantine may make a difference in cognitive function (attention, memory, or other thought processes) in children and adolescents receiving brain radiation therapy to treat a primary brain tumor. Atezolizumab in Combination With a Multi-Kinase Inhibitor for the Treatment of Unresectable, Locally Advanced, or Metastatic Liver Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this trial is to test whether atezolizumab in combination with a multi-kinase inhibitor (cabozantinib or lenvatinib) compared to multi-kinase inhibitor alone in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), has spread to has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), for which the patient has received treatment in the past (previously treated). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib and lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving atezolizumab with cabozantinib or lenvatinib may kill more tumor cells in patients with liver cancer. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Determine the Optimal Dose for the Expansion Cohorts of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Refractory Solid Tumors Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in combination with pembrolizumab, followed by expansion to examine effectiveness of combination therapy in patients with refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) or Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Prehabilitation Rochester, Minn. Physical activity plays an important role in reducing the adverse effects of cancer treatment. There are few studies using prehabilitation to improve peri-operative outcomes in patients undergoing cancer surgery. This study will pilot a program of structured activity for women undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the intent to improve their physical state prior to surgical intervention and thus improve outcomes. It has been shown that patients with advanced ovarian cancer may suffer from high levels of cancer –specific distress, depression and anxiety. It has also been proposed that psychological resilience can favorably affect psychological and treatment-related outcomes in cancer patients. Most current studied mindfulness-based interventions are limited by the time commitment required by the patient, which is difficult for patients with advanced cancer undergoing treatment, therefore we have created a virtual program that is more easily accessible by patients. Frailty is thought to be mediated by senescent cells and their dynamic secretome, referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Senescent cells contribute to age-related tissue deterioration, inflammation, and fibrosis. A group of novel frailty biomarkers obtained at the time of diagnosis has been examined in advanced OC patients. Preliminary data show that these biomarkers strongly correlate with the clinical frailty phenotype, and define a frail subgroup of patients with higher treatment related morbidity and worse survival. These markers may represent important surrogate clinical trial endpoints, as well as deepen the understanding of aging in women with ovarian cancer. In this pilot, these markers and other surrogate endpoints for future novel translational research in the science of aging will be explored. A Study of Intravesical Enfortumab Vedotin For Treatment of Patients With Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to test drug enfortumab vedotin in participants with a type of bladder cancer called non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). This study will also evaluate what the side effects are and if the drug works to treat NMIBC. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating your disease. In this study enfortumab vedotin will be put into the bladder using a catheter. A catheter is a thin tube that can be put into your bladder.

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.
