Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. A Study to Determine How BI 907828 is Taken up in the Tumor and to Determine the Highest Dose of BI 907828 That Could be Tolerated in Combination With Radiation Therapy in People With a Brain Tumor Called Glioblastoma

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to examine the pharmacological effects of the compound BI 907828 on patient tumors at an early stage of drug development.

2. A Study to See if Memantine Protects the Brain During Radiation Therapy Treatment for a Brain Tumor

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase III trial compares memantine to usual treatment in treating patients with brain tumors that are newly diagnosed or has come back (recurrent). Memantine may block receptors (parts of nerve cells) in the brain known to contribute to a decline in cognitive function. Giving memantine may make a difference in cognitive function (attention, memory, or other thought processes) in children and adolescents receiving brain radiation therapy to treat a primary brain tumor.

    

    

3. Image-based Mapping of Brain Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to combine MRI images with histologic and genetic analysis of cancer (from blood and tissue samples) to improve the overall accuracy of diagnosis and effectiveness of cancer treatment.

    

4. A Safety to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosolized Chemotherapy in Ovarian, Uterine, Colorectal, and Gastric Cancer Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) in 2 groups of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), either due to primary ovarian, uterine, or gastric carcinoma (Arm 1) or to primary colorectal carcinoma (Arm 2), based on treatment-related adverse events reported by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.  

5. A Study to Evaluate Regional Radiotherapy in Biomarker Low-Risk Node Positive Breast Cancer

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on low-risk breast cancer receiving usual care that includes regional radiation therapy, with receiving no regional radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if not giving this type of radiation treatment works as well at preventing breast cancer from coming back.

6. A Study Testing the Effect of Immunotherapy (Ipilimumab and Nivolumab) in Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma with Elevated Mutational Burden

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Eau Claire, Wis.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) and carries a high number of mutations. Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to genes that control the way cells function. Tumors with high number of mutations may respond well to immunotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as ipilimumab and nivolumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ipilimumab and nivolumab may lower the chance of recurrent glioblastoma with high number of mutations from growing or spreading compared to usual care (surgery or chemotherapy).

7. Long-Term Follow-up Protocol for Subjects Treated With Gene-Modified T Cells

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This is a prospective study for the long-term follow-up (LTFU) of safety and efficacy for all pediatric and adult subjects exposed to Gene-modified (GM) T cell therapy participating in a previous Celgene sponsored or Celgene alliance partner sponsored study. Subjects who received at least one GM T cell infusion, will be asked to roll-over to this LTFU protocol upon either premature discontinuation from, or completion of the prior parent treatment protocol.

8. Brain Tumor Repository

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The main objective of the Brain Tumor Repository is to allow access to coded patient data by researchers both inside and outside of the Mayo Clinic system so that important research questions can be answered.  Biospecimens will be collected and curated including excess fresh tissue collected during routine surgery, peripheral blood and urine at routine clinical followup times.

9. A Study to Evaluate CHIP and Hematological Toxicity After PRRT in Neuroendocrine Tumor Patients

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to combine robust clinical data (e.g., prior chemotherapy or radiation exposure, cumulative Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT dose)) with genetic and clonal abnormalities (blood-based CHIP panel) in studying the predisposing risk factors for developing hematological toxicity including t-MN in PRRT-treated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients.

10. A Study to Evaluate Tazemetostat Combined with Lenalidomide Plus Rituximab in Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma

    Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tazemetostat in combination with R2 in subjects with Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma (R/R FL), who have completed at least 1 prior systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or chemoimmunotherapy.
