Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.501 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Evaluating Markers which Might be a Predictor of Pancreatic Cancer or Precancer by Analyzing the Secretions (fluid) from a Pancreatic cyst Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate molecular markers which might be a predictor of pancreatic cancer or precancer by analyzing the secretions (fluid) from a pancreatic cyst, pancreas fluid and tissue from a resected pancreatic cyst. Radioiodine Planar and a SPECT/CT Imaging With Iodine-123 for Evaluation of Follicular Thyroid Nodules Prior to Surgery Rochester, Minn. The objective of this study is to determine intensity of I-123 uptake in follicular thyroid lesions before surgery and correlate with final pathology findings. 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). Monitoring Symptoms to Help Young Women Take Hormone Therapy for Stage I-III Breast Cancer, ASPEN Study La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis., Albert Lea, Minn. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of active symptom monitoring and patient education to patient education alone in helping young women with stage I-III breast cancer stay on their hormone therapy medicines. 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. Associations Between Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea in Patients With Genitourinary Cancer and Changes in Gut Microbiome Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is investigate if functions and composition of the gut microbiome are associated with the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced nausea (CIN). Also, to evaluate the feasibility of patient recruitment and retention, as well as specimen collection and to evaluate for changes in alpha and beta diversity as well as composition (i.e. relative abundance) of the gut microbiome from T1 to T2 in patients who do and do not report CIN at T2. In addition, to examine associations between microbial composition functional profiles at T1 and T2 in patients who report CIN at T2. A Study to Assess Clonal Diversity of Freshly Taken ESD Specimens Rochester, Minn. Inclusion Criteria: Patients with Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) or Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC) that are planned for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) treatment. Exclusion Criteria: Patients without BE or EAC or that are not planned for ESD treatment. 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. 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. Gynecologic Extramammary Paget's Disease Rochester, Minn. In addition to evaluating treatment outcomes, tissue samples and swabs will be collected as part of this study to allow physicians to better understand Extramammary Paget's Disease (EMPD). The researchers also want to learn more about the microorganisms (microbiome) that live on or near the areas of skin affected by EMPD, in order to better understand this condition.

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.
