Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.537 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Vaccine (PDS0101) Alone or in Combination With Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Human Papillomavirus-Associated Oropharynx Cancer Rochester, Minn. Some patients with head and neck cancer caused by human papilloma virus have a higher risk of recurrence. We are proposing to treat these patients with HPV vaccine with or without pembrolizumab during the window prior to surgery, in hopes of stimulating an immune response. Virtual Dignity Therapy for Palliative Care Patients with Advanced Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine if it is feasible to recruit for and deliver the Virtual Dignity Therapy intervention to palliative care patients with advanced cancer and whether the intervention is beneficial in terms of improvement in distress, patient dignity, and quality of life. PLX038 for the Treatment of Metastatic Ovarian, Peritoneal, and Fallopian Tube Cancers Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate to PLX-038 in patients with metastatic ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancers that are resistant to platinum drugs. Patient Outcomes after Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump Placement Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term outcomes and the quality of life (QOL) after cholecystectomy and hepatic artery infusion pump placement for localized unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). A Study to Analyze the Association Between Financial and Health Insurance Literacy and Financial Distress in Patients Being Treated for Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to assess the level of financial and health insurance literacy and financial distress in cancer patients coming to the infusion center by analyzing the correlation amongst these outcomes, as well assessing their association with baseline sociodemographic and disease/ treatment factors. A Study to Determine the Effect of Distance Reiki on Patient Reported Quality of Life (PRQoL) and Immunity Among Multiple Myeloma Patients Rochester, Minn. This study aims to demonstrate acceptability and feasibility of the use of Distance Reiki therapy versus sham Reiki therapy among multiple myeloma patients.It also aims to determine if there is a minimal clinically meaningful improvement in various QOL domains (Physical, Social, Emotional), overall QOL with use of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29) and Single Item Linear Analogue Scale (LASA) after Distance Reik. Lastly, it aims to analyze the effect of Distance Reiki on expansion of the immune repertoire by comparing immune repertoires at baseline and at the end of the study by using Mass spectrometry by CyTOF® and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing of the T-cell receptors (TCRs) for assessment of immune repertoire diversity by iRepertoire®. Nemvaleukin Alfa (ALKS 4230) Monotherapy in Patients With Advanced Cutaneous Melanoma or Advanced Mucosal Melanoma Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to observe the antitumor activity, safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics in patients with inoperable and/or metastatic melanoma following prior anti-PD-[L]-1 therapy. Onvansertib for the Treatment of Recurrent or Refractory Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia Rochester, Minn. This phase I trial evaluates the safety, effectiveness, and best dose of onvansertib for the treatment of patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Onvansertib is a drug that binds to and inhibits an enzyme called PLK1, preventing cancer cell proliferation and causing cell death. DALY 2.0 USA/ MB-CART2019.1 for DLBCL Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of MB-CART2019.1 cells administered following a conditioning lymphodepletion regimen in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) subjects who failed at least two lines of therapy as measured by objective response rate (ORR) at one month. Differences in Immunological Effects of Vitamin D Replacement Among African American Prostate Cancer Patients With Localized Versus Metastatic Disease Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The aims of this study are to evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency among B/AA prostate cancer patients and to determine the deficits in immunity associated with vitamin D insufficiency. Also, we will evaluate whether the peripheral blood immune cell function is different in B/AA prostate cancer patients with metastatic disease as compared with those with localized disease.

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.
