Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.510 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Tumor Molecular Analysis Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to develop preclinical models that include cell lines and patient derived xenografts (PDX) that include molecular characterization and testing novel therapies in these preclinical models. Molecular characterization may include short tandem DNA repeat; STR) and oncogenic/tumor suppressor gene mutation analyses to assure that the derived models have not been cross contaminated during the development process with other ongoing lines. Tissue microarray and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis will also be performed on cell lines, PDX and patient tissues to identify potential molecular targets for therapy. For patients who consented, patient clinical therapy response data may be correlated with preclinical response data in cell lines and PDX models. Early Detection Initiative for Pancreatic Cancer (EDI) Rochester, Minn. The Early Detection Initiative for pancreatic cancer is a multi-center randomized controlled trial to determine if algorithm-based screening in patients with new onset hyperglycemia and diabetes can result in earlier detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. A Study to Evaluate Pemetrexed and Pembrolizumab to Treat Recurrent and/or Metastatic Salivary Gland Malignancies Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate of the combination of Pemetrexed and Pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent or metastatic salivary gland cancer (R/M SGC). Minimally Invasive Molecular Approaches for the Diagnosis of Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Mankato, Minn., Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Jacksonville, Fla., Eau Claire, Wis., Austin, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This study will evaluate if the sponge capsule device can accurately detect the presence of Barrett's Esophagus and prevalent dysplasia/adenocarcinoma detection, in a screening population, with and without chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease. Impact of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy on the Peripheral Blood Immune Phenotype in Operable Breast Cancer, the ENHANCE Study Rochester, Minn. The purposes of this study are to evaluate whether pre-NAC peripheral blood immune phenotypes (defined by mass cytometry) are associated with pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with operable breast cancer, and to evaluate whether the baseline peripheral blood immune phenotype differs between patients with breast cancer and age-matched healthy controls. A Study of Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate (Lutathera®) in Patients with Inoperable, Progressive Meningioma after External Beam Radiation Therapy Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to estimate the efficacy of LUTATHERA treatment in patients with recurrent grade 1 meningioma as measured by 6-month PFS rate, and to estimate the efficacy of LUTATHERA treatment in patients with recurrent grade 2 or 3 meningioma as measured by 6-month PFS rate. The Impact of a Geriatric Assessment in Elderly Patients with Multiple Myeloma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between a baseline comprehensive geriatric assessment (cGA) and chemotherapy toxicity in the first 4 months of treatment measured by treatment-related adverse events, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and treatment discontinuation in older patients (≥ 65 years) with multiple myeloma (MM). Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer that affects a type of white cell called plasma cell. It mainly affects older individuals and has an average age at diagnosis of 69 years. A Study to Develop a Biorepository of Blood Samples from Cancer Patients Participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) Protocol Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to develop a biorepository of blood samples from cancer patients participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) protocol. These samples will be used for future biomarker discovery and other translational studies. Inotuzumab Ozogamicin and Frontline Chemotherapy in Treating Young Adults With Newly Diagnosed B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Rochester, Minn. This partially randomized phase III trial studies the side effects of inotuzumab ozogamicin and how well it works when given with frontline chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Giving inotuzumab ozogamicin with chemotherapy may work better in treating young adults with B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A Study of DNA/RNA Sequencing Results on the Clinical Management of Patients with Advanced Malignancies Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to assess practice patterns and changes in treatment recommendations based on the results obtained from a clinically available, comprehensive next generation DNA/RNA sequencing assay. A database of paired clinical and sequencing data will also be established for future research.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
