1. Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) In Combination With Pembrolizumab Versus Pembrolizumab Alone In Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) ≥ 50% (MK-2870-007)

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

   The primary objective of the study is to compare sacituzumab tirumotecan combined with pembrolizumab to pembrolizumab alone with respect to overall survival (OS). The primary hypothesis is that the combination of sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab is superior to pembrolizumab alone with respect to OS. All participants who have completed the first course of pembrolizumab may be eligible for up to an additional 9 cycles of pembrolizumab monotherapy if there is blinded independent central review (BICR)-verified progressive disease by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) after initial treatment.

2. Phase I/​II Study Of [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-R2 In PSMA-positive Prostate Cancer, With/​Without Prior 177Lu-PSMA RLT

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is an open label, phase I/II, multi-center study in adult participants with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have received prior anti-cancer treatment and have a positive 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET scan. The purpose of this study is to learn if the study drug, [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-R2, is safe and tolerable, and has anti-tumor activity in treated patients.

3. A Study of CA-4948 in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma

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

   This is a multi-center, open-label trial of orally administered CA-4948 monotherapy in adult patients with Relapsed or Refractory NHL. The trial will be conducted in 2 parts: an initial Dose Escalation Phase (Part A) of CA-4948 in patients with Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, (RR NHL) and a Dose Expansion Phase (Part B) of CA-4948 in patients with RR NHL with and without myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MYD88) mutations. During Part B, patients will be enrolled regardless of MYD88 mutation status.

4. MC1733, Phase I Trial of Intratumoral Administration of a Measles Virus Derivative Expressing the Helicobacter pylori Neutrophil-activating Protein (NAP) (MV-s-NAP) in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   To determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of intratumoral administration of an Edmonston strain measeles virus genetically engineered to express NAP (MV-s-NAP) in patients with metastatic breast cancer; to determine the safety and toxicity of on-time and serial administration of MV-s-NAP in patients with metastic breast cancer. 

5. A Study Of 177Lu-FAP-2286 In Advanced Solid Tumors

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell surface protein that is highly expressed on the surface of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) present in the tumor microenvironment of most epithelial cancers, whereas limited expression of FAP is observed in normal tissues. In some cancers of mesenchymal origin, notably sarcoma and mesothelioma, FAP expression has also been observed on the tumor cells themselves. Given the restricted expression profile, FAP is a promising target for peptide-targeted radionuclide imaging and therapeutic agents.
   
   Phase 1 of this study is designed to evaluate the safety and establish the recommended intravenous (IV) Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for \[177Lu\]Lu FAP 2286 monotherapy in participants with FAP expressing solid tumors.
   
   Phase 2 is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of \[177Lu\]Lu FAP 2286 as monotherapy in participants with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and breast cancer (BC) and in combination with chemotherapy in participants with untreated PDAC or relapsed NSCLC.
   
   Participants in both Phase 1 and 2 will be selected for treatment with \[177Lu\]Lu FAP 2286 based on \[68Ga\]Ga FAP 2286 imaging for determining tumor FAP expression.

6. Optical Fusion Trans-Perineal Grid

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate and assess a new perineal access tool to enable image guided prostate interventions by Clear Guide Medical in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic.

    

7. Human Saliva as a Non-Invasive Tool for Cancer Diagnostics Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

   Eau Claire, Wis.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a rapid, reliable, inexpensive, and non-invasive method for cancer detection and screening. To use Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), a powerful analytical technique that provides detailed and specific information at a molecular level, to detect cancer biomarkers in a patient’s saliva.  

8. Database of All Patients with Peritoneal Surface Malignancies Treated at Mayo Clinic

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to:

   1. Establish a prospective database of all patients with peritoneal surface malignancies seen by Dr. Travis Grotz at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester.
   2. Design and implement quality improvement projects utilizing this database
   3. Design and implement outcomes research using this prospective database
   4. Design and implement quality of life studies using this prospective database

9. A Study to Establish a Living Breast Organoid Biobank for Translational Research

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

   Researchers at Mayo Clinic are developing a Biobank of adult stem cell-rich breast organoids, a new research resource to facilitate normal and cancer stem cell research. Subjects in the Biobank will provide samples of excess breast tissue, complete a health questionnaire, and allow access to medical records now and in the future. The Biobank serves as a library for researchers; instead of having to look for volunteers for each new project, researchers can use samples from the Biobank as well as share information already collected.

10. Study of Gastric Cancer and Limited Peritoneal Metastasis Using Robotic Cytoreduction and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to assess short-term morbidity and disease-free survival outcomes for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis and/or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing robotic cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
