Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.468 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Very Low-Risk and Low Risk Fusion Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to maintain excellent outcomes in patients with very low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (VLR-RMS) while decreasing the burden of therapy using treatment with 24 weeks of vincristine and dactinomycin (VA) and examines the use of centralized molecular risk stratification in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma. Additionally, to find out how well patients with low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (LR-RMS) respond to standard chemotherapy when patients with VLR-RMS and patients who have rhabdomyosarcoma with DNA mutations get separate treatment. Finally, this study examines the effect of therapy intensification in patients who have RMS cancer with DNA mutations to see if their outcomes can be improved. 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. A Study to Evaluate Durvalumab plus Topotecan or Lurbinectedin in Patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the combination of durvalumab plus lurbinectedin can increase 6 month progression-free survival, in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer who have progressed after treatment with an initial combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Testing the Use of Chemotherapy After Surgery for High-Risk Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery in treating patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery could prevent or delay the return of cancer in patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of OBT076 in Recurrent/Metastatic CD205+ Solid Tumors Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of OBT076, and to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the RP2D of OBT076. A Study of JNJ‐68284528 Out‐of‐Specification (OOS) for Commercial Release in Patients with Multiple Myeloma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of cilta-cel OOS based on overall response of partial response (PR) or better (overall response rate, ORR) to treat multiple myeloma. A Study of Women undergoing Mammogram Screening at Mountain Park Clinic Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The goal of this research is to identify risk profiles of women (with particular emphasis on Hispanic women) for breast cancer based on family history, breast density and other factors known to impact risk such as age, weight, age at menarche, age at birth of first child, etc. 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. Aggressive Malignancy PDX (Avatar) and Cryopreservation Program Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess the ability to successfully create numerous validated patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models from patient tumor specimens obtained at surgery/biopsy via the new Pathology/TRAG cryopreservation protocol, and to generate a large catalog and repertoire of previously unavailable histologically validated PDX. A Study to Compare Somatostatin Analogues with Perioperative Antibiotics versus Prolonged Antibiotics Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to to determine the individual treatment effect of somatostatin and whether duration of antibiotic therapy coupled with octreotide provides improved outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

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.
