Eliminating Breast Cancer Surgery in Exceptional Responders with Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy Rochester, Minn. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how often breast cancer recurs (returns after treatment) in the breast in patients who have been treated with chemotherapy and have had follow-up radiation therapy (but not surgery) and are in complete remission (no evidence of disease). This is an investigational study. Radiation therapy is delivered using FDA-approved and commercially available methods. The study doctor can explain how radiation therapy is designed to work. About 120 participants will be enrolled on this multicenter study. Up to 90 may take part at MD Anderson. Pre-operative vs. Post-operative Radiosurgery for Metastatic Brain Tumors Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an increase in the time of a first occurrence of either: local recurrence, leptomeningeal disease, or symptomatic radiation brain necrosis in patients with brain metastases who receive SRS prior to surgery as compared to patients who receive surgery prior to SRS. A Study to Evaluate the Role of Gut Microbiome in Cancer Therapy Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to correlate gut microbiome with specific cancer diagnoses and the clinical response (effectiveness), and adverse effects of cancer therapy (single or multiple) and stem cell transplant. A Study to Evaluate Abemaciclib for Surgically Resectable, Chemotherapy-Resistant, Triple Negative Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of abemaciclib on the CD8/FOXP3 ratio in chemotherapy-resistant triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. GENetic Risk Estimation of Breast Cancer Prior to Decisions on Preventive Therapy Uptake, Risk Reducing Surgery or Intensive Imaging Surveillance Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The primary aim of this study is to determine if the addition of an individual polygenic risk score (PRS) in addition to the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT) or Tyrer-Cuzick (IBIS) score will aid women at risk of breast cancer in making a decision to take (or not take) medications to prevent breast cancer. Study of BMF-219, in Adult Patients With Acute Leukemia (AL), Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Multiple Myeloma (MM), and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)/ Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal biologic dose (OBD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BMF-219 monotherapy (Cohorts 1, 2, 3, and 4). A Phase II Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of RO7198457 Versus Watchful Waiting in Patients With ctDNA-positive, Resected Stage II (High Risk) and Stage III Colorectal Cancer Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of RO7198457 versus watchful waiting in patients with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) positive, surgically resected Stage II/III rectal cancer, or Stage II (high risk)/Stage III colon cancer. A Study to Evaluate Radiotherapy to the Whole Breast or Post-mastectomy Chest Wall Including Regional Nodal Irradiation Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of 5 fraction vs. 25 fraction radiation to the whole breast or post-mastectomy chest wall/reconstructed chest with regional nodal radiation. A Study to Identify Biomarkers in the Blood, Saliva or Tissue for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to identify a biomarker (or biomarkers) that is present when disease is present (i.e., at diagnosis or recurrence) and not present when disease is absent (i.e., after treatment, in HPV negative patients or in normal controls). Studying the Effect of Denosumab on Preventing Breast Cancer in Women With a BRCA1 Germline Mutation Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this trial is to compare denosumab to placebo for the prevention of breast cancer in women with a BRCA1 germline mutation. A germline mutation is an inherited gene change which, in the BRCA1 gene, is associated with an increased risk of breast and other cancers. Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody that is used to treat bone loss in order to reduce the risk of bone fractures in healthy people, and to reduce new bone growths in cancer patients whose cancer has spread to their bones. Research has shown that denosumab may also reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in women carrying a BRCA1 germline mutation.

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.
