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

1. A Study to Compare Nivolumab Administered Subcutaneously vs Intravenous in Melanoma Participants Following Complete Resection

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the drug levels of nivolumab administered subcutaneously versus intravenous administration in participants with melanoma following complete resection.

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. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) in Cervical Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to answer whether plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) obtained by serial analysis before, during, and following surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy for cervical cancer will allow for risk stratification, individualized treatment decision making, monitoring of treatment response, and early detection of residual or recurrent disease in patients presenting with human papillomavirus (HPV) mediated cervical cancer.

4. 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.

5. Iberdomide, Daratumumab, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone for Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma, IDEAL Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to find the maximum tolerated dose of iberdomide for patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma,  and to determine response rate during induction treatment when combined with daratumumab, bortezomib and dexamethansone. 

6. 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.

7. Patient Adherence and Symptoms During Post-operative Fluid Restriction Protocol After Transsphenoidal Surgery

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objectives of this study are to survey patients during the post-operative period regarding their experience with fluid restriction including adherence and discomfort, and to document rates of hyponatremia and readmissions in post-operative patients.

   Advances in endonasal, endoscopic transsphenoidal surgical techniques have decreased complications and length of stay for persons undergoing resection of sellar and suprasellar masses  Previous research by investigators now at Mayo (SLS, AQH) has shown that particular interventions including fluid restriction post-operatively decrease patient morbidity (e.g., from hyponatremia) and readmissions while maintaining patient safety. However, the patient perspective on the impact of fluid restriction has not been documented.

    

8. A Study To Examine Quality of Life Assessment in Patients Receiving Cryotherapy for Palliation of Dysphagia in Unresectable Esophageal or Gastroesophageal Junctional Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of endoscopic cryoablation for lessening the effects of dysphagia on the quality of life (QOL) of patients with unresectable esophageal or gastroesophageal junctional cancer.

9. A Study to Evaluate Thymoma Recurrence

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate thymoma recurrence rates in patients who underwent thymectomy.

10. Cancer screening practices of individuals with Lynch Syndrome

    Rochester, Minn.

    This is a survey study to describe how women with Lynch syndrome are being screened for gynecologic cancer risk, their perception of cancer risk, and uptake of risk reducing surgery.
