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

1. A Study of Performing Surgery for Resectable Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma After Radiation Therapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the possibility, safety, and therapeutic effect of administering a short, quick course of high-dose radiation treatment focused on half of the chest, followed by surgery to remove that portion of the lungs, in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.  

2. A Study to Evaluate Individualized Prehabilitation for People Undergoing Neo-Adjuvant Radiotherapy and Lower Limb Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Surgery

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The primary objectives of this study are to determine if a tailored prehabilitation program focusing on functional optimization of spared limb tissue in two groups of patients with localized, lower extremity soft tissue sarcoma, one with prehabilitation and one with equal attention and informational support, improves functional outcome as measure by the Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS), to identify the measures and metrics most responsive to the intervention using the (TESS), Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT)[5], wearable Heel2Toe sensor technology and daily step count, and to estimate recruitment, retention, adherence, and acceptability rates.

3. Breath Condensate of Lung Cancer Patients and Healthy Controls to Measure RNA Species in Exhaled Breath Condensate

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop tests for early detection of lung cancer (LC) based on multiomics analyses of patients’ breath condensates.  

4. Combination Treatment Therapy Approaches for the Treatment of High-Risk Multiple Myeloma, REACH Trial

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

   The purpose of this study is to estimate the rate of sustained MRD negativity (MRD negative status at any point, with a repeated MRD negative status one year later) in subjects with high-risk multiple myeloma.

5. First in Human Study of TORL-1-23 in Participants With Advanced Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of tis first-in-human study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of TORL-1-23 in patients with advanced cancer.

6. Cell, Serum, and Buccal Bank for Patients with Chronic Myeloid Disorders and Acute Leukemia

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is being done to store blood, buccal (cheek) cells, genetic material including DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), and bone marrow so that they can be used for laboratory studies that may contribute to finding the causes of disease and factors that may determine disease progression and treatment response.

7. A Study of Healthy Donor Volunteers to Provide Blood components Via Leukapheresis for In vitro Dendritic Cell Investigations

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to collect blood cells as a healthy donor for use in research studies, which will focus especially on using the immune system’s cells to fight infection and cancer. Blood cells collected as part of participation in this Research Donor Program will be used strictly for laboratory experiments and will not be used for transfusion back into human beings.

    

    

    

8. A Study to Validate DNA Methylation Markers for Universal and Site-specific Guided Cancer Detection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to validate candidate universal and site-specific methylated DNA markers (MDMs) in DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded primary tumor and control specimens.

9. A Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Drug/Body Interactions, Biological and Clinical Activity of MSB0011359C (M7824) in Metastatic or Locally Advanced Solid Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, drug/body interactions, and the biological and clinical activities of MSB0011359C (M7824) at different dose levels given to patients who have metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors.

10. Lutetium 177Lu-Edotreotide Versus Best Standard of Care in Well-differentiated Aggressive Grade-2 and Grade-3 GastroEnteroPancreatic NeuroEndocrine Tumors (GEP-NETs) - COMPOSE (COMPOSE)

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and patient-reported outcomes of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-Edotreotide as 1st or 2nd line of treatment compared to best standard of care in patients with well-differentiated aggressive grade 2 and grade 3, somatostatin receptor-positive (SSTR+), neuroendocrine tumours of gastroenteric or pancreatic origin.
