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

1. A Study of the Ability to Predict Lymphedema Development Following Axillary Surgery for Breast Cancer and Its Effects on Patient Survivorship

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to better understand the anatomy of the lymphatic structure and the molecular process that leads to the over production of lymph fluid.  This proposal will begin intense lymphedema screening and identify baseline characteristics potentially predisposing someone to lymphedema, and identify molecular markers that might be altered to prevent lymphedema. 

2. ALEX Study: A Randomized, Phase III Study Comparing Alectinib with Crizotinib in Treatment-Naive Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-Positive Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This randomized, active controlled, multicenter Phase III open-label study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of alectinib compared with critozinib treatment in patients with treatment-naive ALK-positive advanced NSCLC. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either alectinib, 600 mg orally twice daily (BID), or critozinib, 250 mg orally BID. Patients will receive treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal or death occurs. The study is expected to last approximately 42 months.

3. A Study of GDC-0199 (ABT-199) Plus MabThera/Rituxan (Rituximab) Compared with Bendamustine Plus MabThera/Rituxan (Rituximab) in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This open-label, randomized study will compare the efficacy of GDC-0199 plus rituximab (GDC-0199+R) with bendamustine plus MabThera/Rituxan (Rituximab) (B+R) in patients with relapsed or resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients will be randomized 1:1 into the two arms. Patients randomized to GDC-0199+R will be given GDC-0199 daily (oral, target dose 400 mg) and will receive 6 cycles of rituximab infused intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle (Cycle 1: 375 mg/m2; Cycles 2-6: 500 mg/m2).

   Patients randomized to B+R will receive 6 cycles of treatment consisting of a rituximab infusion (Cycle 1: 375 mg/m2; Cycles 2-6: 500 mg/m2) on Day 1 and bendamustine infusions (70 mg/m2) on Days 1 and 2 of each 28-day cycle.

   Patients in the GDC-0199+R arm will continue GDC-0199 treatment until disease progression or 2 years since treatment start, whichever comes first. Anticipated time on study is up to 5 years.

4. A Study to Evaluate Screening Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammogram (CEDM) in Study Participants at Intermediate Breast Cancer Risk and Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) Results

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate a low-cost Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammogram (CEDM) protocol as a supplemental screening method to standard mammographic screening in women at intermediate lifetime-risk (and not undergoing annual MR surveillance) for breast cancer.

    

    

    

    

5. A Study to Examine Financial Distress in Patients Undergoing Treatment of Locally-advanced Rectal Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to examine the needs and gap in our understanding of financial burden experienced by rectal cancer patients from a patient perspective to help provide patient centered care and improve psychosocial outcomes of this group.

6. A Registry for Children Treated with Proton Radiation Therapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the Pediatric Proton Consortium Registry (PPCR) is to enroll children who have been treated with proton radiation in the United States in order to describe the population that currently receives protons and better evaluate its benefits over other therapies. The data collected from this study will help facilitate research on proton beam radiation therapy and allow for collaborative research. The PPCR will collect demographic and clinical data which many centers that deliver proton radiation therapy already collect in routine operations.

7. A Study to Evaluate Ramucirumab Plus Trifluridine/Tipiracil to Treat Patients with Previously-treated Advanced Gastric or Gastro-esophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to compare, in a non-inferiority fashion, the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic refractory gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma receiving the combination of ramucirumab with TAS-102 vs. paclitaxel and ramucirumab.

    

8. Phase 2 Trial of Voyager V1 in Combination With Cemiplimab in Cancer Patients

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

   The purpose of this study is to determine the preliminary anti-tumor activity and confirm the safety of VV1 in combination with Cemiplimab. The study will concurrently enroll patients with four distinct advanced malignancies in 5 separate tumor cohorts. The four cancer types are: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and melanoma that are progressing on checkpoint inhibitor (CPI, generally refers to anti-PD(L)1 antibodies) treatment, CPI-naïve hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and treatment-naïve endometrioid endometrial cancer.

9. A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Lisocatagene Maraleucel in Patients

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of nonconforming lisocabtagene maraleucel in patients, and to assess the effectiveness of nonconforming lisocabtagene maraleucel in patients.

10. Accelerated vs Standard BEP Chemotherapy for Patients With Intermediate and Poor-risk Metastatic Germ Cell Tumours

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to determine whether accelerated BEP chemotherapy is more effective than standard BEP chemotherapy in males with intermediate and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours.
