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

1. Short Course Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Patients With Glioblastoma, SAGA Study

   Rochester, Minn., Mankato, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Jacksonville, Fla., Eau Claire, Wis., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Albert Lea, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferior 12-month overall survival of patients with GlioblastomA (GBM) treated with dose escalated hypofractionated radiotherapy compared to standard of care. Also, to demonstrate the safety and favorable quality of life via physician-reported G3+ toxicitycompare if SBRT is non-inferior to standard of care on the proportion of overall survival of patients with glioblastoma 12 months after randomization.

    

2. MelmarT Melanoma Margins Trial Investigating 1cm v 2cm Wide Excision Margins for Primary Cutaneous Melanoma (MelMarT)

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine differences in the rate of local recurrence and melanoma specific survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve quality of life to back up evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe.  

3. A Study to Evaluate Ramucirumab Plus Trifluridine/Tipiracil to Treat Patients with Previously-treated Advanced Gastric or Gastro-esophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to compare, in a non-inferiority fashion, the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic refractory gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma receiving the combination of ramucirumab with TAS-102 vs. paclitaxel and ramucirumab.

    

4. A Study to Collect Ovarian Tissue from Girls Undergoing Fertility-preserving Cryopreservation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to study the handling of ovarian tissue, cryopreservation technology, and oocyte maturation for female pediatric cancer patients and other female patients whose future fertility will be affected due to a disease or treatment.

5. A Study to Evaluate TAB006, as Monotherapy and in Combination with Toripalimab, in Patients with Previously Treated, Advanced Malignancies

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

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of TAB006 as monotherapy and in combination with toripalimab to treat advanced malignancies.

6. Blood and Urine Identification of Methylated DNA Markers in Invasive Bladder Carcinoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to, in tissue, discover and validate DNA methylation markers (MDMs) for detection of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. In blood, to assess the accuracy of candidate MDMs from above for detection of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. In urine, to explore the accuracy of candidate MDMs from above for detection of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.  Diagnostic accuracy on urine can be compared with that on plasma using paired samples.

7. Circulating Tumor DNA (cTDNA) Based in NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) Assays for Oncology Patients With Solid Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to design, develop and assess the performance characteristics of NGS assays using circulating tumor DNA for the detection of mutations associated solid tumors.

   The performance characteristics of these assays for detecting ctDNA mutation in oncology patients will be assessed by comparing the mutation results obtained from these assays to those obtained by orthogonal methods, including tissue-based assays and results from a ctDNA assay by Guardant on blood.

8. Screening for High Frequency Malignant Disease

   Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis.

   The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a blood-based GuardantLUNAR-2 test to detect high frequency cancer in screen-relevant populations.

    

9. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Remdesivir to Treat Coronavirus Disease 2019 in an Outpatient Setting

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effietiveness of remdesivir (RDV) in reducing the rate of of all-cause medically attended visits (MAVs; medical visits attended in person by the participant and a health care professional) or death in non-hospitalized participants with early stage coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to evaluate the safety of RDV administered in an outpatient setting.

10. Cancer Distress Management Program for Liver and Biliary Cancer within a SPORE

    Rochester, Minn.

    The aim of this study is to develop a feasible, acceptable, and sustainable comprehensive cancer distress management program that is tailored to the unique needs of cancer patient survivors.
