Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Perfusion MRI for Therapy Response Assessment in Brain Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to improve patient care by optimizing and measuring magnetic resonance imaging methods for the early detection of brain cancer response to therapy.

2. A Registry for the Collection of Biological and Clinical Data for Studies of Immune System Related Blood Disorders

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop and maintain a registry of clinical data and biological specimens from patients with immune system related blood disorders, for use in future studies of disease source, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

3. A Global Study to Assess the Effects of Durvalumab + Domvanalimab Following Concurrent Chemoradiation in Participants With Stage III Unresectable NSCLC

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

   The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of durvalumab (MEDI4736) and domvanalimab (AB154) compared with durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced (Stage III), unresectable  non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not progressed following definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy (cCRT).

4. Genomic and Proteomic Analyses of Aggressive Tumors

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

   The purpose of this study is to use genomic and proteomic analyses to identify possible diagnostic markers and potential drugs for diagnosing and treating aggressive tumor types or neoplastic processes. Genomic analyses mean looking at the genome, or all the DNA in a cell (DNA is a material in your body that is a genetic map or code that provides instructions that make up your genes). Proteomic analyses mean looking at the proteome, or all the proteins expressed, or made, by DNA at a specific moment in time

5. A Study to Evaluate the Impact of Non-invasive Tests for Bladder Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   Levels of bladder cancer-derived extracellular vesicles become undetectable after radical cystectomy in patients with localized bladder cancer. This study hopes to determine the levels of bladder cancer-derived extracellular vesicles pre- and post-RC.

6. A study of how current treatments impact the course of relapsed myeloma and the effect of the treatments on the quality-of-life measurements.

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

   The primary goal of this study is to determine the impact of standard of care therapies for TCR MM, in a real-world setting, on patient-reported symptoms, functioning, and QoL, measured prospectively using questionnaires. The secondary goal is to asses clinical endopoints associated with standard of care therapies for TCR MM, in a real-world setting during 12 months of observation. 

7. VG161 in the Treatment of Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma or Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

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

   The primary objectie of Safety Run-In Cohort (Cohort 1) is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple intratumoral injections (IT) of VG161 at the recommendated Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) in patients with HCC and ICC who have either disease progression or intolerable toxicity after the standard treatments.

   The primary objective of HCC Cohort (Cohort 2) is to evaluate the efficacy of multiple IT injections of VG161 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

   The primary objective of ICC Cohort (Cohort 3) is to evaluate the efficacy of multiple IT injections of VG161 in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

    

8. Clinical and Molecular Characteristics of Histiocytic Disorders

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the presence of various molecular markers in histiocytic disorders. In addition to this, to review clinical records of the patients with these disorders to assess the role of the molecular markers in patient outcomes.

9. Mayo Clinic Cancer Center Neuro-Oncology Program Registry and Biobank for the Study of Nervous System Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   Biospecimen banks are a modern attempt to centralize collections of human blood and tissue samples along with health information and personal history. The Neuro-Oncology Program Registry and Biobank will be used for research purposes to increase our understanding of nervous system tumors.

10. Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) vs Standard Therapy in Participants With Microsatellite Instability-High (MSI-H) or Mismatch Repair Deficient (dMMR) Stage IV Colorectal Carcinoma (MK-3475-177/KEYNOTE-177)

    Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    In this study, participants with MSI-H or dMMR advanced colorectal carcinoma will be randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab or the Investigator's choice of 1 of 6 standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of advanced colorectal carcinoma. The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab will prolong progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) compared to current SOC chemotherapy.
