Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.507 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Predicting Immunotherapy Response in Metastatic Kidney Cancer Rochester, Minn. Immunotherapy has revolutionized the therapeutic landscape for patients with metastatic RCC and response rates are higher than previously observed with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Despite this, there is a growing need for molecular markers that can help identify patients who will benefit from immunotherapy, especially in the landscape of multiple available regimens, potential toxicities and financial burden. In this study, we propose to use blood biopsies to study tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (tdEVs) to assess disease burden, monitor response to therapy, and to predict earlier disease progression. In addition to tdEVs, these samples will also be analyzed for other biomarkers (circulating immune cells) to assess if they can be used to inform on tumor-immune cell interactions in real-time and potentially identify responders to immunotherapy. Monoclonal Proteins by Blood Spot and Saliva Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and develop procedures for detecting monoclonal proteins via finger pick blood spots and saliva. Data will be compared to results of serum data collected for patient care during the same time. The test will be evaluated qualitatively against venipunctured data tested by Mass Fix. A Study to Compare of the Glycotest™ HCC Panel vs AFP for the Detection of Early-stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to compare the use of the Glycotest HCC Panel vs. the serum protein biomarker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) for the early detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Cardiotoxic Effects of Chemotherapy in Patients with Sarcomas Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine if two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) derived-strain can detect early myocardial dysfunction and thus predict cardiotoxicity in sarcoma subjects undergoing anthracycline therapy and to compare three dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) to 2D-STE in the same group of patients. Cellular Immunotherapy for Viral Induced Cancer - EBV Positive Lymphomas Rochester, Minn. To investigate the efficacy of autologous Epstein-barr virus (EBV)-specific T cells for the treatment of EBV positive Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) and Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (PTLD) after failing first line treatment. Dose Escalation Study of mRNA-2752 for Intratumoral Injection to Participants in Advanced Malignancies Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of escalating intratumoral doses of mRNA-2752 in participants with relapsed/refractory solid tumor malignancies or lymphoma. Changes in Blood Components in Patients with Ovarian Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assemble a collection of serial plasma biospecimens from women with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer for future research projects to identify changes in levels of various plasma components that occur during the course of ovarian cancer, including changes that occur with debulking surgery, chemotherapy, disease relapse, and subsequent therapy. A Study of Proton Radiation Divided into Fewer Doses for Low Risk Prostate Cancer Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) on patients with prostate cancer by comparing the standard dose of radiation therapy (44 treatments over 8½-9 weeks) with a higher daily dose of radiation (5 treatments over 1-2 weeks) to see if the effects of the treatments are similar or better. A Study to Evaluate Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy to Treat Patients with Pancreatic Cancer and Peritoneal Metastasis Rochester, Minn. The primary purpose of this study is to assess short-term morbidity and disease-free survival outcomes for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. A Study to Detect Actionable or Predictive Tumor DNA Mutations in Peripheral Blood (Liquid Biopsy) from Patients with Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of isolating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cfDNA from patients with CCA for molecular characterization and compare the mutation results between peripheral blood and tumor tissue.

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.
