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. ORACLE: Observation of ResiduAl Cancer With Liquid Biopsy Evaluation (ORACLE) Rochester, Minn. The purpose of ORACLE is to demonstrate the ability of a novel ctDNA assay developed by Guardant Health to detect recurrence in individuals treated for early-stage solid tumors. It is necessary that ctDNA test results are linked to clinical outcomes in order to demonstrate clinical validity for recurrence detection and explore its value in a healthcare environment subject to cost containment. A Study to Evaluate Advanced Development of Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Intraoperative Molecular Diagnosis of Brain Cancer Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to explore the translational abilities of desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) as intraoperative diagnostic tool to identify cancerous versus noncancerous tissue and estimate the percentage of tumor infiltration in tissue biopsies, by monitoring depletion of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and aberrations of the phospholipid signature of neurological tissue; and to identify the presence of IDH mutations by monitoring the 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) and, therefore, differentiate between IDH-mutant and wild-type gliomas. Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Pediatric Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Advanced Solid Tumors, Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, or Histiocytic Disorder Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas. A Phase 1 in Patients With HLA-A*0201+ and WT1+ Recurrent/Metastatic Cancers Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of Part A of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and biological effects of CUE-102. The goal of Part B is to expand the safety and immune activity data at the RP2D identified in Part A, and to evaluate antitumor activity at this dose. International Registry for Men With Advanced Prostate Cancer (IRONMAN) Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this registry is to collect detailed clinical, epidemiological and biological information from 5,000 male patients with advanced prostate cancer. The objectives are to describe the practice patterns of therapeutic agents for treatment of advanced prostate cancer internationally; to assess whether specific treatment patterns are associated with clinically significant adverse events, and evaluate potential interactions with concomitant medications or demographic factors; to identify associations between treatment sequences or combinations and overall survival; to define the patient experience of men with advanced prostate cancer and identify unmet needs in their treatment; and to identify clinical and molecular disease subtypes that predict response to individual treatments, combinations, or sequences. A Study of Sonidegib and Pembrolizumab in Advanced Solid Tumors Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of sonidegib in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors as part of the dose escalation phase, and to estimate the response rate of sonidegib in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with NSCLC or pancreas cancer as part of the expansion cohort based on RECIST criteria. A Study to Evaluate Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) and Immunophenotyping as Potential Biomarkers in Patients Undergoing Regional Nodal Irradiation for Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to estimate the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)detection rate and mutational load in breast cancer patients with indications for regional nodal irradiation. A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Molecular and Biological Phenotype of Peripheral Immune Cells in Solid Tumor Patients Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to investigate for potential mechanisms underlying the sensitivity and resistance to immune checkpoint modulating agents that lead to the identification of sensitivity/resistance biomarkers and development of novel immunotherapeutic approaches. MRD Guided, Fixed Duration Therapy With Loxo-305 and Venetoclax for Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine if a new drug combination, pirtobrutinib and venetoclax, will help Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) cancer, as well as learn more about the side effects of this drug combination. Everyone in this study will receive pirtobrutinib and venetoclax. Venetoclax is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for the treatment of CLL and SLL. Pirtobrutinib is currently being studied in patients with CLL but it is not FDA approved yet. This drug combination is still experimental and is not approved by the FDA. Discontinuation of pirtobrutinib and venetoclax based on minimal residual disease (MRD) results is also investigational. However, the FDA has allowed the use of this drug combination in this research study. MC1733, Phase I Trial of Intratumoral Administration of a Measles Virus Derivative Expressing the Helicobacter pylori Neutrophil-activating Protein (NAP) (MV-s-NAP) in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. To determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of intratumoral administration of an Edmonston strain measeles virus genetically engineered to express NAP (MV-s-NAP) in patients with metastatic breast cancer; to determine the safety and toxicity of on-time and serial administration of MV-s-NAP in patients with metastic breast 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.
