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. A Study of Proton Versus Photon Beam Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Unilateral Head and Neck Cancer Rochester, Minn. Compared to IMRT, PBRT is thought to give less radiation exposure to the surrounding healthy tissues. It is possible that side effect rates with PBRT will be lower or the same compared to IMRT, but this has not been well studied to date. Although both of these radiation therapies have been used in the past to treat head and neck cancer, this research study will compare the effects of these two different radiation treatment modalities with each other to see whether PBRT is better, the same or worse than IMRT. Study of Adjuvant Cemiplimab Versus Placebo After Surgery and Radiation Therapy in Patients With High Risk Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to compare disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) treated with adjuvant cemiplimab, versus those treated with placebo, after surgery and radiation therapy (RT). The secondary objectives of the study is to compare the overall survival (OS) of high-risk CSCC patients treated with adjuvant cemiplimab, versus those treated with placebo, after surgery and RT -To compare the effect of adjuvant cemiplimab with that of placebo on patients' freedom from locoregional recurrence (FFLRR) after surgery and RT; to compare the effect of adjuvant cemiplimab with that of placebo on patients' freedom from distant recurrence (FFDR) after surgery and RT; to compare the effect of adjuvant cemiplimab with that of placebo on the cumulative incidence of second primary CSCC tumors (SPTs) after surgery and RT; to evaluate the safety of adjuvant cemiplimab and that of placebo in high-risk CSCC patients after surgery and RT; to assess cemiplimab pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity in human serum. A Study to Evaluate Regional Radiotherapy in Biomarker Low-Risk Node Positive Breast Cancer Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on low-risk breast cancer receiving usual care that includes regional radiation therapy, with receiving no regional radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if not giving this type of radiation treatment works as well at preventing breast cancer from coming back. Study of Tirabrutinib (ONO-4059) in Patients With Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PROSPECT Study) Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purose of this study is to evaluate the effiectiveness, safety, and pharmacokinetics of tirabrutinib monotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma PCNSL (Part A), and tirabrutinib in combination with one of two different high dose methotrexate based regimens (methotrexate/ temozolimide/rituximab or rituximab/methotrexate/procarbazine/ vincristine) as first line therapy in patients with newly diagnosed, treatment naïve PCNSL (Part B). Mayo Clinic is only participatin gin Part B, and only in the MTR regimen. A Study to Determine How BI 907828 is Taken up in the Tumor and to Determine the Highest Dose of BI 907828 That Could be Tolerated in Combination With Radiation Therapy in People With a Brain Tumor Called Glioblastoma Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to examine the pharmacological effects of the compound BI 907828 on patient tumors at an early stage of drug development. Metastatic Tumor Research and Outcomes Network Rochester, Minn. The registry aims to collect patient information such as patient demographics, co-morbidities, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic data, as well as information on adverse events and HRQOL outcomes specific for patients with metastatic spine tumor(s). Understanding Financial Toxicity in Management of Advanced Prostate Cancer from Qualitative Approach Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to identify characteristics of financial toxicity unique to advanced prostate cancer, especially those areas not assessed through current objective measures, and describe how can these areas inform potential interventions to ameliorate financial toxicity. This aim will be accomplished through qualitative focus group study of advanced prostate cancer patients who exhibit both extremes of financial toxicity. Findings will be presented in a joint display with quantitative survey data obtained in a prior study. Efficacy and Safety of REC-2282 in Participants with Progressive NF2 Mutated Meningiomas (POPLAR-NF2) Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of REC-2282 in patients with progressive NF2 mutated meningiomas who have either NF2 disease-related meningioma or sporadic meningiomas that have NF2 mutations. Dietary and Topical Magnesium Replacement or Supplementation in Patients with Lymphoma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this research study is to find out if being on a magnesium rich diet and using a magnesium lotion on the skin will help to keep the magnesium blood level in a normal range or increase the magnesium level if it is slightly below the normal range or in the low end of the normal range. We also want to learn about the side effects and quality of life when patients are receiving different forms of magnesium. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion is an over-the-counter lotion that can be bought at a drug store or on the internet. The use of this lotion is considered investigational since it hasn’t been studied in lymphoma cancer patients with low magnesium levels before; however, the FDA is allowing us to use this lotion in this research study. A Registry Study for the Long-Term Outcomes of Radiation Therapy Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this long term registry study is to collect and analyze information from patients being treated with various forms of radiation therapy to improve the treatment of future patients.

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.
