Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. A Study to Evaluate Maximizing Anti-PD-1 Therapy By Monitoring T Cell Responses In Melanoma, Lung and Other Cancer Types

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to monitor T cell responses from patients with advanced cancer who are being treated with an anti-PD (programmed death)-1 monoclonal antibody, and compare them with clinical outcomes.

2. A Study to Explore if it is Possible to Successfully Obtain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Imaging and Data While Patients Undergo Brain Surgery

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of successfully obtaining intra-operative OCT imaging and data during standard brain surgery.

3. Tissue and Blood Registry for Individuals with Liver and Biliary Tumors

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This study will collect and store samples of tissue and blood for current and future research studies on Liver and Biliary Tumors.

4. Assessing Breast Cancer Risk Perception in Hispanic, Black, and Black Hispanic Women

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to understand how women of color from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds conceptualize their current and lifetime risk for breast cancer (BC) and to identify which risk factors most resonate with perceptions of BC risk.

    

5. A Study to Compare Treatment With the Drug Selumetinib Alone Versus Selumetinib and Vinblastine in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Low-Grade Glioma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary objectives of this study are to determine the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of selumetinib + vinblastine for children with progressive or recurrent LGGs, and to determine if selumetinib + vinblastine will lead to improved event-free survival (EFS) outcome compared with selumetinib alone for children with progressive or recurrent LGGs.

6. A Study to Establish a Living Breast Organoid Biobank for Translational Research

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

   Researchers at Mayo Clinic are developing a Biobank of adult stem cell-rich breast organoids, a new research resource to facilitate normal and cancer stem cell research. Subjects in the Biobank will provide samples of excess breast tissue, complete a health questionnaire, and allow access to medical records now and in the future. The Biobank serves as a library for researchers; instead of having to look for volunteers for each new project, researchers can use samples from the Biobank as well as share information already collected.

7. Combination Therapy of Acalabrutinib, Venetoclax and Durvalumab to Treat Richter Transformation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if the drug combination of acalabrutinib, durvalumab, and venetoclax will work to treat Richter’s transformation, and what doses of these drugs are safe for people to take. We also want to learn about the side effects of this combination. All study subjects will receive acalabrutinib, durvalumab, and venetoclax. Acalabrutinib is FDA approved for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma. Durvalumab is FDA approved for treatment in lung cancers including  non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. Venetoclax is FDA approved for the treatment of CLL and SLL. The drug combination of acalabrutinib, durvalumab, and venetoclax is experimental and isn’t approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, the FDA has allowed the use of this drug in this research study.

8. Highly Selective CDK7 Inhibitor Q901 in Selected Advanced Solid Tumors

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

   The purpose of part one of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and safety profile of Q901 monotherapy when administered via intravenous (IV) infusion once-weekly (QW) for 4 weeks and once every 2 weeks (Q2W) thereafter. Also, to establish for future clinical development the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Q901 monotherapy when administered via IV infusion QW for 4 weeks and Q2W thereafter. 

   The purpose of part two of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability and evidence of anticancer activity of Q901 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. In Part 2 Cohort 1, an expansion phase at the established RP2D will be undertaken in participants with selected advanced solid tumors. In Part 2 Cohort 2, a safety run in and expansion phase will be undertaken with Q901 at the RP2D administered in combination with pembrolizumab (400 mg Q6W) in participants with advanced solid tumors.

9. Alternate Doses and Dosing Schedules of Belantamab Mafodotin for the Treatment of Triple-Class Recurrent and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the 24-week grade 3/4 keratopathy-free rate of an alternative dose/dosing schedule for belantamab mafodotin in patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM).

    

10. Phase III Study to Assess AZD9833+ CDK4/6 Inhibitor in HR+/HER2-MBC With Detectable ESR1m Before Progression (SERENA-6)

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

    The study is intended to show superiority of AZD9833 in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, abemaciclib or ribociclib) versus aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole or letrozole) in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitor in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-negative) metastatic breast cancer with detectable ESR1 mutation.
