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. Collecting Blood Samples From Patients With and Without Cancer to Evaluate Tests for Early Cancer Detection Mankato, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis., Albert Lea, Minn. The purpose of this study is to collect blood and tissue samples from patients with and without cancer to evaluate laboratory tests for early cancer detection which may help researchers develop tests for the early detection of cancers. A Study to Evaluate Acalabrutinib With or Without Obinutuzumab to Treat Early-Stage Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Patients Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This phase II trials studies how well acalabrutinib with or without obinutuzumab works in treating participants with early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as obinutuzumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving acalabrutinib with or without obinutuzumab will work better in treating participants with early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. A Study of a New Molecular Approach to Blood DNA Screening for Cancer Rochester, Minn. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the distribution of marker levels determined by this multi-marker, multi-compartment blood DNA test approach across persons without known cancer or precancer. A Study to Predict Response to Virotherapy and Immunotherapy by Using an Ex-Vivo Three-Dimensional Patient-Derived Organoid Model of Pediatric Urological Cancers Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is threefold: the first aim is to use patient-derived fresh tumor tissue to create cell lines and 3D tumor models (i.e. organoids) that preserve the characteristics of the original tumor. The preservation of the original tumor's drug resistance/response profile will be a major focus of this aim. The second aim is to conduct high-throughput testing of various drugs (e.g., virotherapy, immunotherapy) on these cell lines and 3D tumor models. The completion of the second aim is an important step towards developing a platform that can help guide treatment decisions for future patients, based on the drug response observed in the cell lines and 3D tumor models. The third aim is to use pan-omics approaches (i.e., genomics, proteomics, metabolomics) to find markers of drug response based on the results of the high-throughput drug testing on the cell lines and 3D tumor models. Testing the Addition of a New Drug, Venetoclax, to the Usual Treatment (Ibrutinib and Rituximab) for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia/Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of ibrutinib and rituximab with or without venetoclax in treating patients with previously untreated Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving venetoclax with ibrutinib and rituximab with may work better in treating patients with previously untreated Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia than ibrutinib and rituximab alone. Trial of Multi-epitope HER2 Peptide Vaccine in Patients with HER2-expressing DCIS Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, effcicacy and tolerability of H2NVAC in patients with HER2-expressing DCIS in order to prevent future invasive breast cancer among patients who are diagnosed with DCIS. Mismatched Related Donor Versus Matched Unrelated Donor Stem Cell Transplantation for Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Acute Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to compare the 1-year cumulative incidence of severe GVHD (from day of HCT) defined as Grade III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) and/or chronic GVHD (cGVHD) that requires systemic immunosuppression and to compare the disease free survival (DFS) (from time of randomization) in children and young adults (AYA) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL), and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) who are randomly assigned to haploHCT or to an 8/8 adult MUD HCT. A Study to Evaluate Minimal Residual Disease in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to compare whether minimal residual disease (MRD) flow cytometric assay is not affected by different anticoagulants. 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. A Study to Evaluate Regulation of the Metabolism of T-Cells by the Tumor Microenvironment in Ovarian Cancer Metastasis Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the immune cell repertoire changes during early and late metastasis which could shed light into how the tumor microenvironment in metastatic disease becomes tumor permissive.

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.
