1. A Study to Evaluate Yttrium-90 Therapy for Radiation Lobectomy

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The Patient Group 1 primary objective is to measure the distribution of 90Y glass microspheres throughout the tumor and non-tumor hepatic parenchyma, as assessed by same day postradioembolization study-specific non-FDG PET/CT scan. Correlate this measurement with mean lobar absorbed radiation dose and embolic load given to patients and time taken to achieve adequate Future Liver Remnant (> 40% of total liver volume) to determine if there is an optimal lobar dose and embolic load.

   The Patient Group 2 primary objectives are to assess the association of circulating and imaging biomarkers on Future Liver Remnant hypertrophy, and to assess progression-free survival between patients with HCC who underwent resection following Y-90 radioembolization with optimal dose and those who presented with an adequate Future Liver Remnant for resection (i.e., who were not treated pre-surgically).

2. KTX-100 MMSET Catalytic Inhibitor that Suppresses H3K36me2 in Patients with Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

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

   The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and schedule and/or a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule of KTX-1001 for patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. 

3. Testing the Use of Steroids and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors With Blinatumomab or Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed BCR-ABL-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Adults

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase III trial compares the effect of usual treatment of chemotherapy and steroids and a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) to the same treatment plus blinatumomab. Blinatumomab is a Bi-specific T-Cell Engager ('BiTE') that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. The information gained from this study may help researchers determine if combination therapy with steroids, TKIs, and blinatumomab work better than the standard of care.

4. Minimally Invasive Molecular Approaches for the Diagnosis of Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

   Mankato, Minn., Rochester, Minn., 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.

5. Mayo Clinic Cancer Center Neuro-Oncology Program Registry and Biobank for the Study of Nervous System Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   Biospecimen banks are a modern attempt to centralize collections of human blood and tissue samples along with health information and personal history. The Neuro-Oncology Program Registry and Biobank will be used for research purposes to increase our understanding of nervous system tumors.

6. 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. 

7. A Study to Evaluate APG2575 Combined with Novel Therapeutic Regimens To Treat Subjects with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma and Immunoglobulin Light Chain Amyloidosis

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, identify dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD and recommended phase II dose (RP2D of APG2575 in combination with Pomalidomide/dexamethasone (Pd) in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM), or immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis, and to evaluate the safety and tolerability, identify dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD and recommended phase II dose (RP2D of APG2575 in combination with Daratumumab/Lenalidomide/dexamethasone (DRd) in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM).

    

8. 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.

9. Detection of Mutant Circulating Tumor (CT)Dna in Uveal Melanoma With Development of a Droplet Digital Pcr (Ddpcr) Assay

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to design, develop and assess the performance characteristics of a ddPCR assay for the detection of mutations associated with uveal melanoma. The performance characteristics of the ddPCR assay for the detection of ctDNA mutation in uveal melanoma patients will be assessed by comparing the mutation results obtained for the ddPCR assay on blood to those obtained on paired paraffin embedded tumors.

10. A Study to Evaluate the Accuracy of the CapsoCam® Colon (CV-3) in Detecting Colonic Polyps Compared to Colonoscopy

    Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CapsoCam® Colon (CV-3) endoscope system for the detection of colonic polyps. It is anticipated that the data from this clinical trial will be used to support marketing authorizations to commercialize the CapsoCam® Colon (CV-3).
