1. Aggressive Malignancy PDX (Avatar) and Cryopreservation Program

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the ability to successfully create numerous validated patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models from patient tumor specimens obtained at surgery/biopsy via the new Pathology/TRAG cryopreservation protocol, and to generate a large catalog and repertoire of previously unavailable histologically validated PDX.

    

2. Human Blood and Tissues Repository for Neuroscience Research

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to collect adult human blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain, and spine tissues/fluids at time of surgery in order to conduct future studies of the cellular mechanisms of tissue invasion utilized by brain and spine tumors of the central nervous system (CNS).

3. A Study to Evaluate Regulation of the Metabolism of T-Cells by the Tumor Microenvironment in Ovarian Cancer Metastasis

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to analyze how the immune cell repertoire changes during early and late metastasis which could shed light into how the tumor microenvironment in metastatic disease becomes tumor permissive.

4. A Study of Women undergoing Mammogram Screening at Mountain Park Clinic

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The goal of this research is to identify risk profiles of women (with particular emphasis on Hispanic women) for breast cancer based on family history, breast density and other factors known to impact risk such as age, weight, age at menarche, age at birth of first child, etc.

5. Database of All Patients with Peritoneal Surface Malignancies Treated at Mayo Clinic

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to:

   1. Establish a prospective database of all patients with peritoneal surface malignancies seen by Dr. Travis Grotz at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester.
   2. Design and implement quality improvement projects utilizing this database
   3. Design and implement outcomes research using this prospective database
   4. Design and implement quality of life studies using this prospective database

6. A Study to Detect Prostate Cancer Extraprostatic Extension with Slip Interface Imaging Determined Tumor Slip Length

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the perfomance a MR-based imaging technology (named Slip Interface Imaging) in predicting extraprostatic extension in prostate cancers.  

7. A Study to Establish a Research Tissue Bank for Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to credential novel therapeutic approaches which can then be transitioned to the clinic for near-term mechanism based clinical trials in this research consortium. There is a need for new treatments for myelofibrosis (MF) patients based on laboratory insight into disease pathogenesis. We will use primary patient samples to understand how different genetic mutations contribute to MF development and to test novel treatment approaches.

    

    

    

    

8. Financial Difficulty in Patients With Blood Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to analyze the financial difficulties experienced by patients undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It is composed of a patient survey (n=250), a physician survey (n=100), and a practice survey completed by each site enrolling patients onto this study. A subset of enrolled patients (n=35) will be invited to participate in an optional second telephone interview (Appendix D). This study will measure the prevalence of patient-reported financial difficulty, specific financial burdens and resources currently available to patients and from practices to assist with patient financial navigation.

9. Optical Fusion Trans-Perineal Grid

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate and assess a new perineal access tool to enable image guided prostate interventions by Clear Guide Medical in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic.

    

10. Quantitative Assessment of Tumor Ablation

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze potential correlation between ablation zone/margin and tumor recurrence by using the Software Product to quantitatively evaluate diagnostic/pre-operative CT images, intra-operative CT images during ablation procedures, and follow-up CT images; and to apply and evaluate the FDA cleared Software Product during CT-guided ablation procedures for intra-operative monitoring and confirmation.
