1. A Study to Evaluate CHIP and Hematological Toxicity After PRRT in Neuroendocrine Tumor Patients

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

   The purpose of this study is to combine robust clinical data (e.g., prior chemotherapy or radiation exposure, cumulative Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT dose)) with genetic and clonal abnormalities (blood-based CHIP panel) in studying the predisposing risk factors for developing hematological toxicity including t-MN in PRRT-treated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients.

2. Patient Adherence and Symptoms During Post-operative Fluid Restriction Protocol After Transsphenoidal Surgery

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objectives of this study are to survey patients during the post-operative period regarding their experience with fluid restriction including adherence and discomfort, and to document rates of hyponatremia and readmissions in post-operative patients.

   Advances in endonasal, endoscopic transsphenoidal surgical techniques have decreased complications and length of stay for persons undergoing resection of sellar and suprasellar masses  Previous research by investigators now at Mayo (SLS, AQH) has shown that particular interventions including fluid restriction post-operatively decrease patient morbidity (e.g., from hyponatremia) and readmissions while maintaining patient safety. However, the patient perspective on the impact of fluid restriction has not been documented.

    

3. A Study To Examine Quality of Life Assessment in Patients Receiving Cryotherapy for Palliation of Dysphagia in Unresectable Esophageal or Gastroesophageal Junctional Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of endoscopic cryoablation for lessening the effects of dysphagia on the quality of life (QOL) of patients with unresectable esophageal or gastroesophageal junctional cancer.

4. A Study to Evaluate Thymoma Recurrence

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate thymoma recurrence rates in patients who underwent thymectomy.

5. Cancer screening practices of individuals with Lynch Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a survey study to describe how women with Lynch syndrome are being screened for gynecologic cancer risk, their perception of cancer risk, and uptake of risk reducing surgery.

6. A Study to Assess Endometrial Cancer Recurrence in Patients After 36 Months

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the 36-month incidence of pelvic/non-vaginal recurrence among patients with surgical stage I intermediate-risk endometrial cancer.

   Eligible patients presenting with apparent uterine confined grade 1, 2, or 3 endometrioid endometrial cancer will undergo standard-of-care primary surgical treatment with a cervical injection of indocyanine green (ICG) dye for SLN mapping, a total hysterectomy, removal of the adnexae and staging with sentinel node mapping and pelvic washings. 

   The final assessment for inclusion in the follow-up part of the study will be determined from the results of the final hysterectomy and staging pathology report to ensure bilaterally negative pelvic sentinel nodes and a surgical stage I endometrioid endometrial cancer grade 1 or 2 with 50% or more uterine myoinvasion or grade 3 with less than 50% uterine myoinvasion. Women meeting this criteria will comprise the study cohort and be followed for three years.   

    

7. Niraparib in Combination With Trastuzumab in Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new treatment using a potent Poly polymerase (PARP) inhibitor known as Niraparib. Niraparib will be combined with trastuzumab, a HER2-targeted agent, to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer. It is anticipated that the combination of drugs will improve survival and have few side effects.

   The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) regulates cell growth and survival. Approximately 15-20% of all breast cancers are HER2-positive, which are an aggressive and fast-growing subtype of breast cancer.

8. 3D Ultrasound Imaging for Breast Cancer Diagnosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveess of a new 3D ultrasound imaging technology combining B-mode, microvessel imaging, shear wave elastography, and machine learning for breast lesion diagnosis.

9. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Determine the Optimal Dose for the Expansion Cohorts of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Refractory Solid Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in combination with pembrolizumab, followed by expansion to examine effectiveness of combination therapy in patients with refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) or Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

10. Effectiveness of Nurse-based Care Coordination on Readmissions among Primary Care Patients: a Stepped Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate nurse-based care coordination compared to usual care on 30-day risk-adjusted readmission rates among high risk patients.
