1. A Study to Validate DNA Methylation Markers for Universal and Site-specific Guided Cancer Detection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to validate candidate universal and site-specific methylated DNA markers (MDMs) in DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded primary tumor and control specimens.

2. A Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Drug/Body Interactions, Biological and Clinical Activity of MSB0011359C (M7824) in Metastatic or Locally Advanced Solid Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, drug/body interactions, and the biological and clinical activities of MSB0011359C (M7824) at different dose levels given to patients who have metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors.

3. University of California Minority Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) Development and Trial Center (UCaMP) to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to establish at least 200 patient-derived cancer xenografts (PDXs), and to utilize these PDXs in preclinical testing of single agents and drug combinations to guide precision cancer medicine decision-making with a focus upon the predominant racial/ethnic minority populations residing in California.

    

    

4. A Study to Evaluate Outpatient Blinatumomab in Subjects with Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) of B-precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of complete outpatient blinatumomab administration for subjects with minimal residual disease (MRD) of B-precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).

    

    

5. Lutetium 177Lu-Edotreotide Versus Best Standard of Care in Well-differentiated Aggressive Grade-2 and Grade-3 GastroEnteroPancreatic NeuroEndocrine Tumors (GEP-NETs) - COMPOSE (COMPOSE)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and patient-reported outcomes of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-Edotreotide as 1st or 2nd line of treatment compared to best standard of care in patients with well-differentiated aggressive grade 2 and grade 3, somatostatin receptor-positive (SSTR+), neuroendocrine tumours of gastroenteric or pancreatic origin.

6. Treatment of Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) Patients (FIBROSARC USA)

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

   The present study is an open-label, randomized, controlled, two-arm multi-center study of the efficacy of L19TNF treatment in combination with doxorubicin versus doxorubicin alone in metastatic or unresectable soft-tissue sarcoma patients. In the study, 122 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive doxorubicin treatment (Arm 1) or L19TNF treatment in combination with doxorubicin (Arm 2). The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate if L19TNF in combination with doxorubicin (Arm 2) given for unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma improves efficacy measured as progression free survival, as compared to doxorubicin alone (Arm 1). Anti-cancer activity will be assessed every 6 weeks during therapy and every 12 weeks thereafter.

7. Methylene Blue Mouthwash for Oral Mucositis Pain in Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   Evaluate the efficacy of methylene blue mouth wash for increasing oral intake and relieving pain in patients with oral mucositis related to cancer and/or cancer treatments.

   Oral intake will improve after six doses of methylene blue mouthwash compared to usual care. Usual care is defined as the institutional standard of care at the study site which includes magic mouthwash (lidocaine/diphenhydramine/Maalox) and sodium bicarbonate oral rinse.

8. Sapanisertib in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Refractory Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   This phase II trial studies how well sapanisertib works in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor that has spread to other places in the body, does not respond to treatment, or cannot be surgically removed. Drugs such as sapanisertib may stop the growth or shrink tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

9. A Study to Collect Surgical Tumor Samples for Prostate Cancer-derived Tissue Graft

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to collect prostate surgical samples from metastatic patients to establish xenograft tumor lines for future testing of potential therapies and for understanding mechanisms of therapy resistance via DNA/RNA sequencing, to collect patient blood samples for future DNA/RNA sequencing , and to collect patient urine samples for future prostate cancer related biomarker detection and DNA/RNA sequencing.

10. Female Patients and Female Partners of Patients With Confirmed HPV Associated Oropharyngeal Carcinoma (Pap-Op): Prospective Assessment of HPV Associated Anogenital Pathology

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of anogenital infection with high-risk HPV serotypes and HPV-associated anogenital lesions in female patients with newly diagnosed HPV(+)OPSCC and female partners of patients with HPV(+)OPSCC, and compare this with retrospective review of exams and paps obtained during routine well woman checks in Rochester MN.
