Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Brain Tumor Repository

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The main objective of the Brain Tumor Repository is to allow access to coded patient data by researchers both inside and outside of the Mayo Clinic system so that important research questions can be answered. 

2. A Study to Assess Endometrial Cancer Recurrence in Patients After 36 Months

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the 36-month incidence of pelvic/non-vaginal recurrence among patients with surgical stage I intermediate-risk endometrial cancer.

   Eligible patients presenting with apparent uterine confined grade 1, 2, or 3 endometrioid endometrial cancer will undergo standard-of-care primary surgical treatment with a cervical injection of indocyanine green (ICG) dye for SLN mapping, a total hysterectomy, removal of the adnexae and staging with sentinel node mapping and pelvic washings. 

   The final assessment for inclusion in the follow-up part of the study will be determined from the results of the final hysterectomy and staging pathology report to ensure bilaterally negative pelvic sentinel nodes and a surgical stage I endometrioid endometrial cancer grade 1 or 2 with 50% or more uterine myoinvasion or grade 3 with less than 50% uterine myoinvasion. Women meeting this criteria will comprise the study cohort and be followed for three years.   

    

3. Niraparib in Combination With Trastuzumab in Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new treatment using a potent Poly polymerase (PARP) inhibitor known as Niraparib. Niraparib will be combined with trastuzumab, a HER2-targeted agent, to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer. It is anticipated that the combination of drugs will improve survival and have few side effects.

   The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) regulates cell growth and survival. Approximately 15-20% of all breast cancers are HER2-positive, which are an aggressive and fast-growing subtype of breast cancer.

4. 3D Ultrasound Imaging for Breast Cancer Diagnosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveess of a new 3D ultrasound imaging technology combining B-mode, microvessel imaging, shear wave elastography, and machine learning for breast lesion diagnosis.

5. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Determine the Optimal Dose for the Expansion Cohorts of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Refractory Solid Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in combination with pembrolizumab, followed by expansion to examine effectiveness of combination therapy in patients with refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) or Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

6. Effectiveness of Nurse-based Care Coordination on Readmissions among Primary Care Patients: a Stepped Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate nurse-based care coordination compared to usual care on 30-day risk-adjusted readmission rates among high risk patients.

    

7. A Safety to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosolized Chemotherapy in Ovarian, Uterine, Colorectal, and Gastric Cancer Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) in 2 groups of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), either due to primary ovarian, uterine, or gastric carcinoma (Arm 1) or to primary colorectal carcinoma (Arm 2), based on treatment-related adverse events reported by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.  

8. Long-Term Follow-up Protocol for Subjects Treated With Gene-Modified T Cells

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

   This is a prospective study for the long-term follow-up (LTFU) of safety and efficacy for all pediatric and adult subjects exposed to Gene-modified (GM) T cell therapy participating in a previous Celgene sponsored or Celgene alliance partner sponsored study. Subjects who received at least one GM T cell infusion, will be asked to roll-over to this LTFU protocol upon either premature discontinuation from, or completion of the prior parent treatment protocol.

9. Phase 2 Study with TTI-622 and TTI-621 in Relapsed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of ths study is to find out more about the side effects of two new drug combinations for lymphoma, TTI-621 and pembrolizumab and TTI-622 and pembrolizumab, and what doses of TTI-621 and TTI-622 are safe for people to take.  In addition, we want to learn if the drug combinations help your cancer.

    

10. Low Dose Aspirin for the Prevention of Postpartum Related Breast Cancer

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

    The purpose of this study is to test whether a short course of aspirin can change the markers of inflammation in patients who have a benign finding within five years of their last pregnancy, and possibly reduce their risk of future breast cancer.
