Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.540 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Assess Adverse Events of Intravenously (IV) Infused ABBV-383 in Adult Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine adverse events and change in disease symptoms of ABBV-383 in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. ABBV-383 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R Multiple Myeloma (MM). This study includes 2 parts; step-up dose optimization (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2). In Part 1, different level of step-up doses are tested followed by the target dose of ABBV-383. In Part 2, the step-up dose identified in Part 1 will be used followed by the target dose of ABBV-383. Trans-Pacific Multicenter Collaborative Study of Minimally Invasive Proximal Versus Total Gastrectomy for Proximal Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancers Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to compare the symptoms of patients who have a MIPG to the symptoms of patients who have a MITG. HEADLIGHT: Hypofractionated Proton Therapy for Head and Neck Cancers Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This study utilizes a shorter course of radiotherapy for patients who need radiation after surgery or without surgery for head and neck cancers. Radiation is typically given in 6-7 weeks for head and neck cancer using X-ray therapy, but this study will administer treatment in approximately 3 weeks. To achieve this shorter course, proton therapy is used. This study aims to determine cancer control at 2 years after study registration. It also aims to determine the rate and duration of grade 3 or higher acute (defined from treatment start to 30 days from radiation completion date) adverse events and estimate acute toxicity burden using T-score and to determine the incidence of secondary acute effects attributable to radiotherapy including incidence of PEG tube placement, duration and dose of narcotic analgesia required, weight loss, hospitalization days, and time away from work. Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation. A Study to Evaluate the Impact of Non-invasive Tests for Bladder Cancer Rochester, Minn. Levels of bladder cancer-derived extracellular vesicles become undetectable after radical cystectomy in patients with localized bladder cancer. This study hopes to determine the levels of bladder cancer-derived extracellular vesicles pre- and post-RC. A Study Using Targeted Inhibitors to Treat Specific Tumor Mutations in Patients with Meningiomas Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. This phase II trial studies how well vismodegib and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor GSK2256098 work in treating patients with meningiomas that may have gotten bigger or grew back after treatment. Vismodegib and FAK inhibitor GSK2256098 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) vs Standard Therapy in Participants With Microsatellite Instability-High (MSI-H) or Mismatch Repair Deficient (dMMR) Stage IV Colorectal Carcinoma (MK-3475-177/KEYNOTE-177) Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. In this study, participants with MSI-H or dMMR advanced colorectal carcinoma will be randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab or the Investigator's choice of 1 of 6 standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of advanced colorectal carcinoma. The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab will prolong progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) compared to current SOC chemotherapy. 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 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 Pediatric Acute Leukemia (PedAL) Screening Trial - A Study to Test Bone Marrow and Blood in Children With Leukemia That Has Come Back After Treatment or Is Difficult to Treat - A Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Children's Oncology Group Study Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen for patient eligibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials. 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.

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.
