Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.504 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Leveraging Methylated DNA Markers (MDMs) in the Detection of Endometrial Cancer and Cervical Cancer: a Phase II Clinical Study Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to develop a pan-gynecologic cancer detection test using gynecologic (unique endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer) cancer-specific methylated DNA markers and high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) detected in vaginal fluid and/or plasma. Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of OBT076 in Recurrent/Metastatic CD205+ Solid Tumors Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of OBT076, and to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the RP2D of OBT076. A Study to Evaluate Regulation of the Metabolism of T-Cells by the Tumor Microenvironment in Ovarian Cancer Metastasis Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the immune cell repertoire changes during early and late metastasis which could shed light into how the tumor microenvironment in metastatic disease becomes tumor permissive. Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Very Low-Risk and Low Risk Fusion Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to maintain excellent outcomes in patients with very low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (VLR-RMS) while decreasing the burden of therapy using treatment with 24 weeks of vincristine and dactinomycin (VA) and examines the use of centralized molecular risk stratification in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma. Additionally, to find out how well patients with low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (LR-RMS) respond to standard chemotherapy when patients with VLR-RMS and patients who have rhabdomyosarcoma with DNA mutations get separate treatment. Finally, this study examines the effect of therapy intensification in patients who have RMS cancer with DNA mutations to see if their outcomes can be improved. A Study of Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients with Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors that are Recurrent or Cannot Be Removed by Surgery Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess the side effects and best dose of a genetically engineered measles virus for treating patients who have a cancerous peripheral nerve sheath tumor that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Natural History Evaluation Among Female Breast Cancer Survivors with Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia Rochester, Minn., Albert Lea, Minn., Mankato, Minn. The purpose of this study is to learn about potential side effects facing people who are undergoing treatments for their cancer, specifically, hair loss. While this is not a well-documented side effect of hormone-blocking medications (such as tamoxifen, letrozole, anastrozole, or exemestane), we have preliminary evidence that it is a problem for some patients getting this treatment. This study will include some patients receiving the hormone therapy and some patients who are not, so we can better understand whether patients getting the hormonal therapy have more hair loss than patients who are not getting such. A Study to Evaluate Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone, with or without Daratumumab, in Treating High-Risk Smoldering Myeloma Patients Rochester, Minn., Albert Lea, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis. The purpose of this study is to show how well lenalidomide and dexamethasone work with or without daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and dexamethasone with daratumumab may work better in treating patients with smoldering myeloma. A Study to Evaluate Immune-related Biomarkers for Pathological Response in Stage II-III HER2-positive Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine vs. placebo in combination with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (TTT-DM1) in patients with stage II-III HER2+ breast cancer with residual disease post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and to evaluate the safety of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine given concurrently with T-DM1 maintenance therapy. A Study of the Drugs Selumetinib Versus Carboplatin/Vincristine in Patients With Neurofibromatosis and Low-Grade Glioma Rochester, Minn. The pupose of this study is to evaluate whether or not selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment with carboplatine/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma (LGG), and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic pathway (vision nerves). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking some enzymes that low grade glioma tumor cells need for their growth. This results in killing tumor cells. Drugs used as chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and vincristine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether selumetinib works better in treating patients with NF1-associated low-grade glioma compared to standard therapy with carboplatin and vincristine. A Registry for the Collection and Maintenance of Biological Specimens for Breast Cancer Research Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this registry is to collect and maintain samples of breast tissue from women and men undergoing surgery for a breast related concern at Mayo Clinic Rochester, to create a biospecimen resource for the study of benign and cancerous breast conditions.

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.
