1. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Remdesivir to Treat Coronavirus Disease 2019 in an Outpatient Setting

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effietiveness of remdesivir (RDV) in reducing the rate of of all-cause medically attended visits (MAVs; medical visits attended in person by the participant and a health care professional) or death in non-hospitalized participants with early stage coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to evaluate the safety of RDV administered in an outpatient setting.

2. A Study to Evaluate Same Day Discharge Post-mastectomy with/without Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction

   Rochester, Minn.

   In the light of the pandemic, institutions have had to take greater precautions and instigate procedures to aim to improve safety and reduce risk for patients undergoing surgery. One intiative was designed to implement a same day discharge for patients undergoing mastectomy with or without alloplastic reconstruction. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes and patient satisfaction with same day mastectomy with or without alloplastic reconstruction following COVID-19 and compare satisfaction and outcomes (e.g complications) with patients pre-COVID 19. This is part of a quality improvement project. 

3. Defining The Immunologic Profile Of Sentinel Lymph Nodes And Identifying The Mechanisms Responsible For Immunosuppression

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to look at the effects cancer and melanoma have on the immune cells found in lymph nodes.

4. Circulating Tumor DNA (cTDNA) Based in NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) Assays for Oncology Patients With Solid Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to design, develop and assess the performance characteristics of NGS assays using circulating tumor DNA for the detection of mutations associated solid tumors.

   The performance characteristics of these assays for detecting ctDNA mutation in oncology patients will be assessed by comparing the mutation results obtained from these assays to those obtained by orthogonal methods, including tissue-based assays and results from a ctDNA assay by Guardant on blood.

5. A Study Evaluating The Safety And Efficacy Of Targeted Therapies In Subpopulations Of Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (INTRINSIC)

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

   This open-label, exploratory study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted therapies or immunotherapy as single agents or combinations, in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) whose tumors are biomarker positive as per treatment arm-specific definition. Eligible participants with mCRC will be enrolled into specific treatment arms based on their biomarker assay results.

6. TRPC6 To Predict And Prevent Chemotherapy Related Cardiomyopathy And Heart Failure (Prospective Study)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize TRPC6 risk variants for doxorubicin-related cardiotoxicity in prospectively collected samples from breast cancer patients.   

   Breast cancer patients are more than three times at risk for developing congestive heart failure (CHF), compared with patients who did not have cancer. The increased risk of HF is observed as early as one year from diagnosis of cancer and overall, 7% of patients develop CHF (median follow-up 8.5 years) 

7. Reduced Dose Hypofractionated Radiotherapy For Indolent Non-hodgkin Lymphoma

   Mankato, Minn., Rochester, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., Jacksonville, Fla., La Crosse, Wis., Albert Lea, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of thisstudy is to evaluate reduction of radiotherapy dose for patients with indolent NHL by conducting a prospective randomized phase 2 study comparing reduced dose hypofractionated ISRT of 9 Gy delivered over 3 fractions (BED 12 Gy) to standard of care 24 Gy delivered over 12 fractions (BED 29Gy), while simultaneously evaluating prognostic value of pre-radiation functional imaging parameters and molecular markers to predict treatment response and failure.

8. ROF2181

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

   Currently, only a few international institutions use CIRT to treat pelvic bone sarcomas. Accordingly, data evaluating the potential differences in oncological outcomes, toxicities, and functional outcomes between CIRT and the more readily accessible local therapies of surgery and PT is scarce. For this reason, we propose conducting a prospective comparative effectiveness study evaluating functional outcomes, toxicities, and local control in patients with pelvic bone sarcomas treated with surgery, PT, and CIRT.

9. EF-41/KEYNOTE D58: Phase 3 Study Of Optune Concomitant With Temozolomide Plus Pembrolizumab In Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma

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

   This is a multicenter, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Optune® (Tumor Treating Fields at 200 kHz) together with maintenance Temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy agent and pembrolizumab compared to Optune® together with maintenance TMZ and placebo in newly diagnosed Glioblastoma (GBM) patients. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the Overall Survival (OS).

10. AZD0486 As Monotherapy In Participants With Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) B-cell NHL

    Rochester, Minn.

    This is a Phase 2 global, multi-center, open-label study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of AZD0486 monotherapy in adult participants with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who have received at least two prior lines of therapies. The study has 2 Modules: Module 1 for FL and Module 2 for DLBCL.
