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

1. 3D Ultrasound Imaging for Breast Cancer Diagnosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveess of a new 3D ultrasound imaging technology combining B-mode, microvessel imaging, shear wave elastography, and machine learning for breast lesion diagnosis.

2. Effectiveness of Nurse-based Care Coordination on Readmissions among Primary Care Patients: a Stepped Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate nurse-based care coordination compared to usual care on 30-day risk-adjusted readmission rates among high risk patients.

    

3. Iberdomide, Daratumumab, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone for Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma, IDEAL Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to find the maximum tolerated dose of iberdomide for patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma,  and to determine response rate during induction treatment when combined with daratumumab, bortezomib and dexamethansone. 

4. A Study to Evaluate CHIP and Hematological Toxicity After PRRT in Neuroendocrine Tumor Patients

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

   The overall objective of this project is to combine robust clinical data (e.g. prior chemotherapy or radiation exposure, cumulative radiotheranostic dose) with geneticclonal abnormalities (blood-based CHIP panel) in studying the predisposing risk factors for developing hematological toxicity including t-MN in radiotheranostic treated solid tumor patients.

5. A Study To Evaluate Oncologic Outcomes And Quality Of Life In Sinonasal Cancer Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a multi-site study with several other leading centers studying sinonasal cancers. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the treatment and significant morbidity associated with sinonasal cancer and identify the impact this disease has on quality of life. In addition, several additional endpoints will focus on survival and optimal treatment strategies. Additional components will also included genomic and molecular analysis of tumor tissue as we search for novel targets for therapy.

    

    

6. Image-based Mapping of Brain Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to combine MRI images with histologic and genetic analysis of cancer (from blood and tissue samples) to improve the overall accuracy of diagnosis and effectiveness of cancer treatment.

    

7. A Study to Explore Tumor Biology in Metastatic Esophageal and Gastric Cancer Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to explore various biomarkers in the post-treatment tissue of patients who have responded to cancer therapy and compare it to the biopsy performed prior to cancer treatment.

8. Cancer screening practices of individuals with Lynch Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a survey study to describe how women with Lynch syndrome are being screened for gynecologic cancer risk, their perception of cancer risk, and uptake of risk reducing surgery.

9. Patient Adherence and Symptoms During Post-operative Fluid Restriction Protocol After Transsphenoidal Surgery

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objectives of this study are to survey patients during the post-operative period regarding their experience with fluid restriction including adherence and discomfort, and to document rates of hyponatremia and readmissions in post-operative patients.

   Advances in endonasal, endoscopic transsphenoidal surgical techniques have decreased complications and length of stay for persons undergoing resection of sellar and suprasellar masses  Previous research by investigators now at Mayo (SLS, AQH) has shown that particular interventions including fluid restriction post-operatively decrease patient morbidity (e.g., from hyponatremia) and readmissions while maintaining patient safety. However, the patient perspective on the impact of fluid restriction has not been documented.

    

10. Tumor Treating Fields For The Treatment Of Leptomeningeal Metastases Of The Spine In Patients With Breast Or Lung Cancer

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    This clinical trial evaluates the safety and feasibility of tumor treating fields (TTF) in the treatment of spinal leptomeningeal disease in patients with breast or lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Patients wear the portable Novo TTF-200T device that produces electric fields to target areas on the body to stop the growth of tumor cells. The information from this study will help researchers develop a better treatment for leptomeningeal metastases in the future.
