Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.501 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Dietary and Topical Magnesium Replacement or Supplementation in Patients with Lymphoma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this research study is to find out if being on a magnesium rich diet and using a magnesium lotion on the skin will help to keep the magnesium blood level in a normal range or increase the magnesium level if it is slightly below the normal range or in the low end of the normal range. We also want to learn about the side effects and quality of life when patients are receiving different forms of magnesium. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion is an over-the-counter lotion that can be bought at a drug store or on the internet. The use of this lotion is considered investigational since it hasn’t been studied in lymphoma cancer patients with low magnesium levels before; however, the FDA is allowing us to use this lotion in this research study. Understanding Financial Toxicity in Management of Advanced Prostate Cancer from Qualitative Approach Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to identify characteristics of financial toxicity unique to advanced prostate cancer, especially those areas not assessed through current objective measures, and describe how can these areas inform potential interventions to ameliorate financial toxicity. This aim will be accomplished through qualitative focus group study of advanced prostate cancer patients who exhibit both extremes of financial toxicity. Findings will be presented in a joint display with quantitative survey data obtained in a prior study. Grief Among Older Adult Family Caregivers Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the trajectory of loss and grief over 12 months, the risk factors associated with high levels of pre-loss grief, and the preliminary effectiveness of ART for treatment of high levels of pre-loss grief among family caregivers (FCG) of persons nearing the end of life. A Study to Collect Medical and Personal Histories, Blood and/or Tumor Tissue Samples from Patients Who are Long-term Survivors of Lung Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to collect medical and personal histories, blood and/or tumor tissue samples from patients who are long-term survivors of lung cancer. This study will help us to develop better ways to provide care and advice, develop better treatments to minimize long-term side effects, and improve the quality of life and outcome of lung cancer patients. This study will also help us to learn whether certain genes (inherited factors from your parents) increase the risk of developing or dying of lung cancer. Melanoma In-transit Tissue Bank and Molecular Analysis for Personalized Therapies Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to establish a tissue bank to collect patient tissue for genomic analysis, allowing identification of genomic signatures that predict response and failure to the individual therapy. Once this is complete treatment will be directed based on the genomic signature of patients individual tumor. A Study of Navicixizumab Monotherapy or in Combination in Patients With Select Advanced Solid Tumors Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to investigate the antitumor activity of navicixizumab monotherapy or in combination with paclitaxel or irinotecan in patients with advanced solid tumors including: Cohort A: Colorectal cancer (CRC); Cohort B: Gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer; Cohort C: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); Cohort D: Platinum-resistant/refractory epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer (ovarian cancer). Circulating Tumor Nucleic Acids to Monitor Treatment Response in Metastatic Melanoma Patients Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This project will investigate whether the analysis of nucleic acids circulating in the blood from tumors can allow real-time monitoring of treatment response to targeted therapy and immunotherapy for patients who have stage IV metastatic melanoma. A Study of Intratumoral Injection of Dendritic Cells after High-Dose Conformal External Beam Radiotherapy in Patients with Unresectable Liver Cancer Rochester, Minn. Group 1: The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an autologous dendritic cells (DC) vaccine delivered by intra-tumoral injection in patients with primary liver cancer treated with high-dose conformal external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). Group 2: The primary purpose of this study is to estimate the progression-free survival rate at 2 years post-registration to see if treatment is efficacious compared to historical data Real-time Disease Monitoring of Metastatic Breast Cancer to Optimize Treatment Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to identify subtype-specific signatures for breast cancer using genomic positioning of plasma DNA fragments, and to validate changes in ctDNA levels as a biomarker for treatment monitoring in patients with metastatic breast cancer. A Study to Evaluate Web-Based Physical Activity Intervention in Children and Adolescents with Newly Diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in First Remission Rochester, Minn. The primary purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a rewards-and web-based physical activity intervention that includes structured social interaction between participants to the same web-based physical activity intervention that does not include structured social interaction on fitness among children and adolescents following treatment for cancer.

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.
