1. Evaluation of a Mixed Meal Test for Diagnosis and Characterization and Type 3c Diabetes Mellitus Secondary to Pancreatic Cancer and Chronic Pancreatitis (DETECT)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a blood test to distinguish various causes of diabetes by evaluating patients who have developed diabetes within the last 3 years, but we will also enroll a small number of patients with long-term diabetes and normal blood sugars for comparison. 

   Diabetes mellitus is a common condition which is defined by persistently high blood sugar levels.  This is a frequent problem that is most commonly due to type 2 diabetes.  However, it is now recognized that a small portion of the population with diabetes have an underlying problem with their pancreas, such as chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, as the cause of their diabetes.  Currently, there is no test to identify the small number of patients who have diabetes caused by a primary problem with their pancreas.

    

2. A Prospective Ocular Tumor Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to use clinical, imaging, molecular, and epidemiological investigation toward the goal of providing new knowledge about ocular tumors that will be useful in understanding, diagnosing, monitoring, and suggesting new avenues of treatment. This study does not involve experimental treatment of any ocular tumor, but rather observation of tumor natural history or outcomes following standard of care therapy, associated systemic and ocular conditions, and basic research investigations to better understand tumor biomarkers and pathophysiology.

3. ROF2181

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

   Currently, only a few international institutions use CIRT to treat pelvic bone sarcomas. Accordingly, data evaluating the potential differences in oncological outcomes, toxicities, and functional outcomes between CIRT and the more readily accessible local therapies of surgery and PT is scarce. For this reason, we propose conducting a prospective comparative effectiveness study evaluating functional outcomes, toxicities, and local control in patients with pelvic bone sarcomas treated with surgery, PT, and CIRT.

4. Safety and Efficacy Study of MLN0128 in Combination With Exemestane or Fulvestrant in Postmenopausal Women With ER/PR+ Metastatic Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a phase 1b/2 study of the safety and efficacy of MLN0128 in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant therapy in women with estrogen receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (ER+/HER2-) advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has progressed on treatment with everolimus in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant.

5. A Study to Evaluate EAA181 to Treat Newly-diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

   Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis.

   The primary purpose of this study is to determine if bortezomib, daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Btz-DRd) consolidation followed by daratumumab and lenalidomide (DR) maintenance after standard induction therapy with daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DRd) results in superior overall survival compared to DRd consolidation followed by DR maintenance, in MRD positive patients.

6. Mayo Clinic Vestibular Schwannoma Quality of Life Index Assessment

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the study is to conduct cognitive testing of the recently published Mayo Clinic Vestibular Schwannoma Quality of Life (VSQOL) Index.

7. A Bio-bank for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Associated Neoplasia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect blood and stool samples to validate and improve the performance of stool and blood DNA markers for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal neoplasia critical to the long-term goal of improving effectiveness of neoplasia detection in patients using non-invasive biomarkers to assist colonoscopy and radiographic screening. 

8. Global Cardio Oncology Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to provide a large database and platform for prospective sub-studies and eventually develop additional collaborations with a platform for clinical studies and trials following the initial pilot phase.

9. A Study of AG-946 in Participants With Anemia Due to Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (LR-MDS)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of phase 2a is to establish proof-of-concept (POC) for AG-946 in participants with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS) and to evaluate the safety, effect, and pharmacokineticsof AG-946 on additional measures of anemia. Additionally to evaluate the effect of AG-946 on transfusion burden (participants with LTB only) and the effect of AG-946 on pharmacodynamic biomarkers.

   The purpose of phase 2b is to compare the effect of AG-946 versus placebo and to detect a doseresponse for erythroid response in participants with LR-MD

10. A Study to Establish a Retinoblastoma Patient Clinical Database and Tissue Repository

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to systematically and prospectively record accurate and complete data regarding the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes of patients diagnosed with RB; collect, bank, preserve, and analyze biomaterials from patients with RB, and to correlate phenotypic data with findings from human biomaterials.
