1. Understanding the Challenges, Behavioral Patterns, and Preferences Towards Participation in Clinical Trials in Minority Patient Populations

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the challenges, behavioral patterns, and preferences of minority patient participation in clinical trials. Also, to develop and validate a personalized clinical trial educational platform to boost participation among underserved cancer patients.

2. A Study of AG-946 in Participants With Anemia Due to Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (LR-MDS)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of phase 2a is to establish proof-of-concept (POC) for AG-946 in participants with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS) and to evaluate the safety, effect, and pharmacokineticsof AG-946 on additional measures of anemia. Additionally to evaluate the effect of AG-946 on transfusion burden (participants with LTB only) and the effect of AG-946 on pharmacodynamic biomarkers.

   The purpose of phase 2b is to compare the effect of AG-946 versus placebo and to detect a doseresponse for erythroid response in participants with LR-MD

3. A Study to Establish a Retinoblastoma Patient Clinical Database and Tissue Repository

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to systematically and prospectively record accurate and complete data regarding the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes of patients diagnosed with RB; collect, bank, preserve, and analyze biomaterials from patients with RB, and to correlate phenotypic data with findings from human biomaterials.

    

4. A Study to Explore the Mechanisms that Separate Responders Versus Non-responders to Treatment such as Immunotherapy, Target Therapy and Chemotherapy in Lung Cancer Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to explore the underlying mechanisms that distinguishes responder versus non-responders to treatment such as immunotherapy, target therapy and chemotherapy in lung cancer and mechanisms of resistance. The information generated from this study will likely help to design the optimal strategies to improve clinical outcomes in lung cancers.

5. Defining the Immunologic Profile of Sentinel Lymph Nodes and Identifying the Mechanisms Responsible for Immunosuppression

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to look at the effects cancer and melanoma have on the immune cells found in lymph nodes.

6. A Study of the Bacteria Found in Cancerous and Non-cancerous Breast Tissue

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to see if having different kinds of bacteria genes in breast tissue may be connected to the risk of getting breast cancer. 

7. A Study to Evaluate Same Day Discharge Post-mastectomy with/without Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction

   Rochester, Minn.

   In the light of the pandemic, institutions have had to take greater precautions and instigate procedures to aim to improve safety and reduce risk for patients undergoing surgery. One intiative was designed to implement a same day discharge for patients undergoing mastectomy with or without alloplastic reconstruction. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes and patient satisfaction with same day mastectomy with or without alloplastic reconstruction following COVID-19 and compare satisfaction and outcomes (e.g complications) with patients pre-COVID 19. This is part of a quality improvement project.
