1. Tumor Molecular Analysis

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

   The purpose of this study is to develop preclinical models that include cell lines and patient derived xenografts (PDX) that include molecular characterization and testing novel therapies in these preclinical models. Molecular characterization may include short tandem DNA repeat; STR) and oncogenic/tumor suppressor gene mutation analyses to assure that the derived models have not been cross contaminated during the development process with other ongoing lines. Tissue microarray and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis will also be performed on cell lines, PDX and patient tissues to identify potential molecular targets for therapy.

   For patients who consented, patient clinical therapy response data may be correlated with preclinical response data in cell lines and PDX models. 

2. A Study to Evaluate Yttrium-90 Therapy for Radiation Lobectomy

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The Patient Group 1 primary objective is to measure the distribution of 90Y glass microspheres throughout the tumor and non-tumor hepatic parenchyma, as assessed by same day postradioembolization study-specific non-FDG PET/CT scan. Correlate this measurement with mean lobar absorbed radiation dose and embolic load given to patients and time taken to achieve adequate Future Liver Remnant (> 40% of total liver volume) to determine if there is an optimal lobar dose and embolic load.

   The Patient Group 2 primary objectives are to assess the association of circulating and imaging biomarkers on Future Liver Remnant hypertrophy, and to assess progression-free survival between patients with HCC who underwent resection following Y-90 radioembolization with optimal dose and those who presented with an adequate Future Liver Remnant for resection (i.e., who were not treated pre-surgically).

3. HEADLIGHT: Hypofractionated Proton Therapy for Head and Neck Cancers

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

   This study utilizes a shorter course of radiotherapy for patients who need radiation after surgery or without surgery for head and neck cancers. Radiation is typically given in 6-7 weeks for head and neck cancer using X-ray therapy, but this study will administer treatment in approximately 3 weeks. To achieve this shorter course, proton therapy is used. This study aims to determine cancer control at 2 years after study registration. It also aims to determine the rate and duration of grade 3 or higher acute (defined from treatment start to 30 days from radiation completion date) adverse events and estimate acute toxicity burden using T-score and to determine the incidence of secondary acute effects attributable to radiotherapy including incidence of PEG tube placement, duration and dose of narcotic analgesia required, weight loss, hospitalization days, and time away from work. Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

4. PRGN-3006 Adoptive Cellular Therapy for CD33-Positive Relapsed or Refractory AML, MRD Positive AML or Higher Risk MDS

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and best dose of PRGN-3006 T Cells to treat relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome.

5. In-home Versus In-Clinic Subcutaneous Nivolumab Administration through Connected and Remote Cancer CARE Beyond Walls

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the location of SQ Nivo administration, at the infusion center or in the home, on patient preference and acceptability, safety, patient reported outcomes (PROs), and clinical outcomes.

6. A Study to Assess Clonal Diversity of Freshly Taken ESD Specimens

   Rochester, Minn.

   Inclusion Criteria:

   • Patients with Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) or Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC) that are planned for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) treatment.

   Exclusion Criteria: 

   • Patients without BE or EAC or that are not planned for ESD treatment.

7. Group Curriculum for Improving Survivorship Outcomes in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to develop the curriculum and assess its feasibility and impact on equipping young adults to better manage these aspects of survivorship: follow up medical care, work/school life, relationships and coping with the emotional impact of cancer survivorship. 

    

    

8. Dynamics of Clinical Trial Discussions in Oncology to Identify Patient Barriers and Help Develop a Patient-centered Intervention to Increase Participation in Clinical Trials

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to richly describe the content and dynamics of clinical trial discussions in oncology and compare the knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes of oncology patients, caregivers, and clinicians related to clinical trials, and to develop a multifaceted, patient-centered intervention for increasing patient understanding of and participation in clinical trials in oncology.

9. A Study to Evaluate the Accuracy of the CapsoCam® Colon (CV-3) in Detecting Colonic Polyps Compared to Colonoscopy

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CapsoCam® Colon (CV-3) endoscope system for the detection of colonic polyps. It is anticipated that the data from this clinical trial will be used to support marketing authorizations to commercialize the CapsoCam® Colon (CV-3).

10. A Study of Hematopoiesis in Patients with Monoclonal B Cell Lymphocytosis (MBL), B-Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), and Healthy Controls

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to determine the cellular and mechanistic basis of bone marrow hematopoietic dysfunction in untreated Monoclonal B Cell Lymphocytosis (MBL) and B-Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) patients.
