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. A Study of Sonidegib and Pembrolizumab in Advanced Solid Tumors Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of sonidegib in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors as part of the dose escalation phase, and to estimate the response rate of sonidegib in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with NSCLC or pancreas cancer as part of the expansion cohort based on RECIST criteria. A Study to Evaluate Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) and Immunophenotyping as Potential Biomarkers in Patients Undergoing Regional Nodal Irradiation for Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to estimate the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)detection rate and mutational load in breast cancer patients with indications for regional nodal irradiation. A Study to Evaluate Colorectal Polyps with Dietary Inflammation During Colonoscopy Jacksonville, Fla. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in both men and women in the United States (1). Colorectal cancer arises from colonic polyps. The major types of polyps associated with colorectal cancer development are adenomatous (tubular which is most common and other types are villous and tubulovillous) and serrated (hyperplastic, sessile or traditional) polyps with varying degrees of dysplasia (2). Hyperplastic polyps are common but they have a low malignancy potential (3). There is evidence that colonic inflammation plays a major role in colon polyp and colorectal cancer development. For example, inflammatory bowel disease is a major predisposing factor for colorectal cancer occurrence, implicating inflammation in the development of colorectal cancer (4). In addition, obesity, a chronic inflammatory state, is associated with increased colorectal cancer risk (5). However, the use of anti-inflammatory agents in the prevention of colorectal cancer is controversial, although there is some suggestion that its use may lower colorectal cancer risk (6,7). Diet may affect cytokine levels and inflammation (8). Diet rich in trans-fat and sugar has been shown to increase pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNFα (9, 10) and the Mediterranean Diet has been shown to decrease inflammatory cytokines (11) and decrease the risk of colon cancer in an UK study (12). Recently, the EDII was developed and validated to assess inflammatory potential of diet based on the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) (13). Here we propose to investigate the association between diet-derived inflammation, as measured by the EDII, risk of colon polyps during screening colonoscopy and colorectal cancer development. Hematology Electronic Consultations (e-Consults) the Mayo Clinic Experience Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to evaluate hematology e-consults to determine their specific use, time to completion, advantages and disadvantages, perceptions from primary care physicians and specialists and economic impact. A Registry for the Collection and Maintenance of Biological Specimens for Breast Cancer Research Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this registry is to collect and maintain samples of breast tissue from women and men undergoing surgery for a breast related concern at Mayo Clinic Rochester, to create a biospecimen resource for the study of benign and cancerous breast conditions. A Study to Evaluate Immune-related Biomarkers for Pathological Response in Stage II-III HER2-positive Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine vs. placebo in combination with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (TTT-DM1) in patients with stage II-III HER2+ breast cancer with residual disease post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and to evaluate the safety of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine given concurrently with T-DM1 maintenance therapy. A Study to Evaluate Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone, with or without Daratumumab, in Treating High-Risk Smoldering Myeloma Patients Albert Lea, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to show how well lenalidomide and dexamethasone work with or without daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and dexamethasone with daratumumab may work better in treating patients with smoldering myeloma. Testing the Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, Selinexor, to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment (Temozolomide) for Brain Tumors That Have Returned After Previous Treatment Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of phase 1 of this trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of temozolomide followed by selinexor in recurrent glioblastoma patients as determined by dose-limiting toxicities [DLTs] and the total toxicity profile. The purpose of phase 2 of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of sequentially administering temozolomide and selinexor in recurrent glioblastoma as determined by progression-free survival [PFS]. MC1733, Phase I Trial of Intratumoral Administration of a Measles Virus Derivative Expressing the Helicobacter pylori Neutrophil-activating Protein (NAP) (MV-s-NAP) in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. To determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of intratumoral administration of an Edmonston strain measeles virus genetically engineered to express NAP (MV-s-NAP) in patients with metastatic breast cancer; to determine the safety and toxicity of on-time and serial administration of MV-s-NAP in patients with metastic breast cancer. A Study of the Drugs Selumetinib vs. Carboplatin and Vincristine in Patients with Low-Grade Glioma Rochester, Minn. This study aims to demonstrate that the efficacy of treatment with selumetinib as measured by event-free survival (EFS) is non-inferior compared to treatment with carboplatin/vincristine (CV) in previously-untreated low-grade glioma (LGG) not associated with BRAFV600E mutations or systemic neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).

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.
