Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.507 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Ventricular Remodeling and Myocardial Deformation in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy for Sarcomas Rochester, Minn. The aim of this study is to determine if there is subclinical systolic or diastolic myocardial mechanical dysfunction by 2D and 3D speckle tracking echocardiography derived strain and strain rate in this patient population at baseline, during and after chemotherapy. This could be an early marker of myocardial dysfunction in patients treated for sarcoma. A Study to Develop a Biorepository of Blood Samples from Cancer Patients Participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) Protocol Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to develop a biorepository of blood samples from cancer patients participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) protocol. These samples will be used for future biomarker discovery and other translational studies. Study of Breast Cancer Risk Assessment in Female Patients with Benign Breast Disease Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to to bring molecular risk prediction for breast cancer into the clinical arena through: the establishment of a large tissue repository from a retrospective cohort of women with benign breast disease with complete and long-term clinical follow-up to identify those who developed breast cancer (cases) and those who did not (controls); the application of potential biomarkers of risk to this archival tissue set; and, the discovery of new, potentially relevant biomarkers of risk in fresh and frozen specimens of benign breast disease. A Study to Assess Clonal Diversity of Freshly Taken ESD Specimens Rochester, Minn. Inclusion Criteria: Patients with Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) or Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC) that are planned for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) treatment. Exclusion Criteria: Patients without BE or EAC or that are not planned for ESD treatment. Trans-Pacific Multicenter Collaborative Study of Minimally Invasive Proximal Versus Total Gastrectomy for Proximal Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancers Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to compare the symptoms of patients who have a MIPG to the symptoms of patients who have a MITG. Detection of Mutant Circulating Tumor (CT)Dna in Uveal Melanoma With Development of a Droplet Digital Pcr (Ddpcr) Assay Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to design, develop and assess the performance characteristics of a ddPCR assay for the detection of mutations associated with uveal melanoma. The performance characteristics of the ddPCR assay for the detection of ctDNA mutation in uveal melanoma patients will be assessed by comparing the mutation results obtained for the ddPCR assay on blood to those obtained on paired paraffin embedded tumors. Gynecologic Extramammary Paget's Disease Rochester, Minn. In addition to evaluating treatment outcomes, tissue samples and swabs will be collected as part of this study to allow physicians to better understand Extramammary Paget's Disease (EMPD). The researchers also want to learn more about the microorganisms (microbiome) that live on or near the areas of skin affected by EMPD, in order to better understand this condition. Testing the Use of Steroids and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors With Blinatumomab or Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed BCR-ABL-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Adults Rochester, Minn. This phase III trial compares the effect of usual treatment of chemotherapy and steroids and a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) to the same treatment plus blinatumomab. Blinatumomab is a Bi-specific T-Cell Engager ('BiTE') that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. The information gained from this study may help researchers determine if combination therapy with steroids, TKIs, and blinatumomab work better than the standard of care. Inotuzumab Ozogamicin and Frontline Chemotherapy in Treating Young Adults With Newly Diagnosed B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Rochester, Minn. This partially randomized phase III trial studies the side effects of inotuzumab ozogamicin and how well it works when given with frontline chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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 inotuzumab ozogamicin with chemotherapy may work better in treating young adults with B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A Study Using Targeted Inhibitors to Treat Specific Tumor Mutations in Patients with Meningiomas Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. This phase II trial studies how well vismodegib and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor GSK2256098 work in treating patients with meningiomas that may have gotten bigger or grew back after treatment. Vismodegib and FAK inhibitor GSK2256098 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

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.
