Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.425 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Recognition by Metabolomic Analysis of Serum of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to validate an NMR-based (Nuclear magnetic resonance) serum metabolite constellation for detection of early Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions in liver cirrhosis. ORACLE: Observation of ResiduAl Cancer With Liquid Biopsy Evaluation (ORACLE) Rochester, Minn. The purpose of ORACLE is to demonstrate the ability of a novel ctDNA assay developed by Guardant Health to detect recurrence in individuals treated for early-stage solid tumors. It is necessary that ctDNA test results are linked to clinical outcomes in order to demonstrate clinical validity for recurrence detection and explore its value in a healthcare environment subject to cost containment. International Registry for Men With Advanced Prostate Cancer (IRONMAN) Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this registry is to collect detailed clinical, epidemiological and biological information from 5,000 male patients with advanced prostate cancer. The objectives are to describe the practice patterns of therapeutic agents for treatment of advanced prostate cancer internationally; to assess whether specific treatment patterns are associated with clinically significant adverse events, and evaluate potential interactions with concomitant medications or demographic factors; to identify associations between treatment sequences or combinations and overall survival; to define the patient experience of men with advanced prostate cancer and identify unmet needs in their treatment; and to identify clinical and molecular disease subtypes that predict response to individual treatments, combinations, or sequences. A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Molecular and Biological Phenotype of Peripheral Immune Cells in Solid Tumor Patients Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to investigate for potential mechanisms underlying the sensitivity and resistance to immune checkpoint modulating agents that lead to the identification of sensitivity/resistance biomarkers and development of novel immunotherapeutic approaches. MRD Guided, Fixed Duration Therapy With Loxo-305 and Venetoclax for Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine if a new drug combination, pirtobrutinib and venetoclax, will help Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) cancer, as well as learn more about the side effects of this drug combination. Everyone in this study will receive pirtobrutinib and venetoclax. Venetoclax is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for the treatment of CLL and SLL. Pirtobrutinib is currently being studied in patients with CLL but it is not FDA approved yet. This drug combination is still experimental and is not approved by the FDA. Discontinuation of pirtobrutinib and venetoclax based on minimal residual disease (MRD) results is also investigational. However, the FDA has allowed the use of this drug combination in this research study. Leveraging Methylated DNA Markers (MDMs) in the Detection of Endometrial Cancer and Cervical Cancer: a Phase II Clinical Study Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to develop a pan-gynecologic cancer detection test using gynecologic (unique endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer) cancer-specific methylated DNA markers and high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) detected in vaginal fluid and/or plasma. Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Very Low-Risk and Low Risk Fusion Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to maintain excellent outcomes in patients with very low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (VLR-RMS) while decreasing the burden of therapy using treatment with 24 weeks of vincristine and dactinomycin (VA) and examines the use of centralized molecular risk stratification in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma. Additionally, to find out how well patients with low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (LR-RMS) respond to standard chemotherapy when patients with VLR-RMS and patients who have rhabdomyosarcoma with DNA mutations get separate treatment. Finally, this study examines the effect of therapy intensification in patients who have RMS cancer with DNA mutations to see if their outcomes can be improved. Natural History Evaluation Among Female Breast Cancer Survivors with Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia Rochester, Minn., Albert Lea, Minn., Mankato, Minn. The purpose of this study is to learn about potential side effects facing people who are undergoing treatments for their cancer, specifically, hair loss. While this is not a well-documented side effect of hormone-blocking medications (such as tamoxifen, letrozole, anastrozole, or exemestane), we have preliminary evidence that it is a problem for some patients getting this treatment. This study will include some patients receiving the hormone therapy and some patients who are not, so we can better understand whether patients getting the hormonal therapy have more hair loss than patients who are not getting such. A Study to Evaluate Durvalumab plus Topotecan or Lurbinectedin in Patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the combination of durvalumab plus lurbinectedin can increase 6 month progression-free survival, in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer who have progressed after treatment with an initial combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Testing the Use of Chemotherapy After Surgery for High-Risk Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery in treating patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery could prevent or delay the return of cancer in patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

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.
