Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. A Study to Evaluate Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and OCT Angiography (OCTA) Imaging In Supine Patient

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if a relay lens and right angle mirror can be used in conjunction with an FDA-approved optical coherence tomography (OCT) unit to allow imaging in supine patients.

2. A Patient Access Program of Olaratumab for the Continued Treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcoma

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to continue to provide olaratumab to eligible patients who are currently receiving olaratumab commercially for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (STS).

3. Fertility Outcomes in Lymphoma Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objectives of this study are to analyze impact of radiation on fertility, to correlate the clinical outcome of fertility after chemotherapy and or radiation, and to evaluate the different modalities and cost/benefit of fertility preservation in lymphoma patients

   Lymphoma is a diversified disease with outcomes differing upon the types and subtypes of lymphoma as well as treatment modalities used. Fertility outcomes in patients treated with chemotherapy and/or radiation could vary and largely unknown.

4. Recognition by Metabolomic Analysis of Serum of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to validate an NMR-based (Nuclear magnetic resonance) serum metabolite constellation for detection of early Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions in liver cirrhosis.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Natural History Evaluation Among Female Breast Cancer Survivors with Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia

   Rochester, Minn., Albert Lea, Minn., Mankato, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to learn about potential side effects facing people who are undergoing treatments for their cancer, specifically, hair loss. While this is not a well-documented side effect of hormone-blocking medications (such as tamoxifen, letrozole, anastrozole, or exemestane), we have preliminary evidence that it is a problem for some patients getting this treatment.  This study will include some patients receiving the hormone therapy and some patients who are not, so we can better understand whether patients getting the hormonal therapy have more hair loss than patients who are not getting such.

9. 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.

10. 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.
