Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. Screening for High Frequency Malignant Disease

   Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis.

   The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a blood-based GuardantLUNAR-2 test to detect high frequency cancer in screen-relevant populations.

    

2. A Study to Evaluate DNA Evaluation of Fragments for Early Interception - Lung Cancer Training Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is train and test classifiers for lung cancer detection using the DELFI assay and other biomarker and clinical features. 

3. TheraSphere With and Without Durvalumab and Tremelimumab for HCC

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objective of the ROWAN clinical study is to assess the the durability of local tumor control in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) patients who receive TheraSphere followed by durvalumab and tremelimumab, compared to those who receive TheraSphere treatment alone.

4. Circulating Tumor DNA (cTDNA) Based in NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) Assays for Oncology Patients With Solid Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to design, develop and assess the performance characteristics of NGS assays using circulating tumor DNA for the detection of mutations associated solid tumors.

   The performance characteristics of these assays for detecting ctDNA mutation in oncology patients will be assessed by comparing the mutation results obtained from these assays to those obtained by orthogonal methods, including tissue-based assays and results from a ctDNA assay by Guardant on blood.

5. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Remdesivir to Treat Coronavirus Disease 2019 in an Outpatient Setting

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effietiveness of remdesivir (RDV) in reducing the rate of of all-cause medically attended visits (MAVs; medical visits attended in person by the participant and a health care professional) or death in non-hospitalized participants with early stage coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to evaluate the safety of RDV administered in an outpatient setting.

6. A Study to Evaluate Same Day Discharge Post-mastectomy with/without Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction

   Rochester, Minn.

   In the light of the pandemic, institutions have had to take greater precautions and instigate procedures to aim to improve safety and reduce risk for patients undergoing surgery. One intiative was designed to implement a same day discharge for patients undergoing mastectomy with or without alloplastic reconstruction. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes and patient satisfaction with same day mastectomy with or without alloplastic reconstruction following COVID-19 and compare satisfaction and outcomes (e.g complications) with patients pre-COVID 19. This is part of a quality improvement project. 

7. 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.

8. Cancer Distress Management Program for Liver and Biliary Cancer within a SPORE

   Rochester, Minn.

   The aim of this study is to develop a feasible, acceptable, and sustainable comprehensive cancer distress management program that is tailored to the unique needs of cancer patient survivors.

    

9. 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.

10. 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.
