Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. A Study to Explore Tumor Biology in Metastatic Esophageal and Gastric Cancer Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to explore various biomarkers in the post-treatment tissue of patients who have responded to cancer therapy and compare it to the biopsy performed prior to cancer treatment.

2. A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of HMPL-306 to Treat Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors with IDH Mutations

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness of HMPL-306 in advanced or metastatic solid tumors with IDH mutation.

3. A Study to Evaluate Accelerated Resolution Therapy in Cancer and Palliative Care

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The following research questions will guide this study: 1) Is ART feasible and acceptable for use with distressed patients and/or family caregivers in oncology and palliative care clinical settings? 2) What is the mean dose of ART provided to distressed patients and/or family caregivers? 3) What are the patient and family stressors that result in a recommendation for ART? 4) Does ART reduce symptoms of psychological trauma, anxiety and depression, when used with distressed patients and family caregivers in oncology and palliative care clinical settings? 5) Does ART improve resilience when used with distressed patients and family caregivers in oncology and palliative care clinical settings?

4. Genetic Risk and Cancer Estimation Study

   Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis.

   The purpose of this research is to develop a collection of known mutation carriers to analyze cancer risk and long-term clinical outcomes.

5. CAncer Survivor CArdiomyopathy DEtection (CASCADE) Pilot Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to improve the cardiovascular care of adult cancer survivors by contributing much-needed evidence regarding optimal surveillance and treatment recommendations. This application’s objective is to obtain the data necessary to plan an adequately powered randomized clinical trial (RCT) across a nation-wide network that will define prospectively the clinical and economic efficacy of a screening program that uses AI-ECG and/or NT-pro-BNP in an at-risk adult cancer survivor population.

6. Study of INBRX-109 in Conventional Chondrosarcoma

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate INBRX-109 in unresectable or metastatic conventional chondrosarcoma patients.

7. A Study to Reduce Disparities in High-Risk Black Men (BM) With Advanced Prostate Cancer Using Patient-Centered Home Care

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate a highly innovative project evaluating the feasibility of patient-centered home care (PCHC) as a new model of cancer care to reduce disparities and improve health related qualtiy of life (HRQoL) and patient reported-outcomes (PROs) in Black patients with advanced prostate cancer (CaP).

    

8. A Study of Intravesical Enfortumab Vedotin For Treatment of Patients With Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to test drug enfortumab vedotin in participants with a type of bladder cancer called non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). This study will also evaluate what the side effects are and if the drug works to treat NMIBC. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating your disease. In this study enfortumab vedotin will be put into the bladder using a catheter. A catheter is a thin tube that can be put into your bladder.

9. A Pilot, Randomized, Open-label Study of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields, 150 kHz) Concomitant With Pembrolizumab for First Line Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1 in subjects with TPS ≥ 1 percent.

   The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.

10. Two Studies for Patients With High Risk Prostate Cancer Testing Less Intense Treatment for Patients With a Low Gene Risk Score and Testing a More Intense Treatment for Patients With a High Gene Risk Score

    Albert Lea, Minn., Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

    The puporse of this trial is to compare less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer and low gene risk score. This trial also compares more intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in patients with high risk prostate cancer and high gene risk score. Abiraterone acetate may help fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of testosterone made by the body. Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving a shorter hormone therapy treatment may work the same at controlling prostate cancer compared to the usual 24 month hormone therapy treatment in patients with low gene risk score. Adding abiraterone acetate and apalutamide to the usual treatment may increase the length of time without prostate cancer spreading as compared to the usual treatment in patients with high gene risk score.
