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

1. A Study to Evaluate Rectal Cancer with Diffusion-Weighted and Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Perfusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to analyze the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from Diffusion-Weighted (DWI) in patients before, during the second week of and after preoperative chemoradiation therapy for rectal cancer.

    

    

2. A Study to Evaluate Contouring Organs at Risk for Treatment Planning

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

   The purpose of this study is to determine:  if the artificial intelligence (AI)-generated results are less arduous than manual tracing by radiation oncologist, and the non-inferiority of the quality of AI vs. manual tracing.  These aims will be evaluated in a clinical environment to investigate the impact of an AI algorithm on the clinical workflow. 

   Radiotherapy treatment planning requires precise calculations of radiation exposure, not only for the target volumes (tissue containing malignancy), but of nearby organs-at-risk (OARs), in which the exposure needs to be minimized. Manual segmentation of these organs is a time-consuming task with high interobserver variability. Producing these segmentations automatically will reduce the time required for treatment planning and improve the interobserver variability.

3. Phase 1/2 Study of MRTX1719 in Solid Tumors With MTAP Deletion

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

   The purpose of this study is to to characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of MRTX1719 in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies with MTAP (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase) deletion.

4. A Study to Determine Baseline Levels for Prostate Cancer-Derived Particles Containing Cellular Matter (Extracellular Vesicles) After Local Treatment

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to determine the levels of prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles pre- and post-local therapy (radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy), to correlate analysis for PSA levels and prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles, and to determine baseline levels of prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles in patients undergoing different lines of primary local treatment.

5. Phase I Trial of Sargramostim and Nivolumab for Metastatic Melanoma to the Lung

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase I trial is looking to see if sargramostim given with a nebulizer, in combination with standard immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy with nivolumab can help control melanoma that has metastasized to the lungs.

6. Oligomets pancreas SBRT

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The primary endpoint for this study will compare PFS between SBRT + standard chemotherapy vs. standard chemotherapy alone in patients with oligometastatic pancreatic cancer. PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first of either disease progression or death from any cause, where disease progression will be determined based on RECIST 1.1 criteria and will be documented at each enrolling site with no central review planned.

7. A Safety and Efficacy Study of Domvanalimab + Zimberelimab Combination Therapy in Participants With Advanced Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Malignancies

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla.

   This Phase 2, open-label, parallel, 3-cohort, multicenter study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of various combinations of the anti-T-cell immunoglobulin and ITM domain (TIGIT) monoclonal antibody domvanalimab, the anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody zimberelimab, and multiagent chemotherapy in the first--line setting, and of various combinations of domvanalimab, zimberelimab, the cluster of differentiation 73 (CD73) inhibitor quemliclustat, and chemotherapy in the second-line (2L) or greater setting in participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

8. Olaparib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Biliary Tract Cancer With Aberrant DNA Repair Gene Mutations

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with biliary tract cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and with aberrant DNA repair gene mutations. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

9. Cardio-Oncology Clinic Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to establish a retrospective and prospective clinical registry of patients seen in the cardio-oncology clinic to characterize trends in the composition and outcomes of the population seen in the clinic, as well as initial clinical analyses on cardiovascular toxicities.

10. Comparing Capecitabine and Temozolomide in Combination to Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

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

    The purpose of this study is to compare capecitabine and temozolomide to lutetium Lu 177 dotatate for the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other parts of the body (advanced) or are not able to be removed by surgery (unresectable). 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. Radioactive drugs, such as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and may reduce harm to normal cells. The purpose of this study is to find out whether capecitabine and temozolomide or lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may kill more tumor cells in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
