Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Testing the Addition of a New Drug, Venetoclax, to the Usual Treatment (Ibrutinib and Rituximab) for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia/Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of ibrutinib and rituximab with or without venetoclax in treating patients with previously untreated Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving venetoclax with ibrutinib and rituximab with may work better in treating patients with previously untreated Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia than ibrutinib and rituximab alone.

2. Collecting Blood Samples From Patients With and Without Cancer to Evaluate Tests for Early Cancer Detection

   Mankato, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis., Albert Lea, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect blood and tissue samples from patients with and without cancer to evaluate laboratory tests for early cancer detection which may help researchers develop tests for the early detection of cancers.

3. A Study to Evaluate Acalabrutinib With or Without Obinutuzumab to Treat Early-Stage Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Patients

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

   This phase II trials studies how well acalabrutinib with or without obinutuzumab works in treating participants with early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as obinutuzumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving acalabrutinib with or without obinutuzumab will work better in treating participants with early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.

4. Trial of Multi-epitope HER2 Peptide Vaccine in Patients with HER2-expressing DCIS

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, effcicacy and tolerability of H2NVAC in patients with HER2-expressing DCIS in order to  prevent future invasive breast cancer among patients who are diagnosed with DCIS.

5. A Study of a New Molecular Approach to Blood DNA Screening for Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the distribution of marker levels determined by this multi-marker, multi-compartment blood DNA test approach across persons without known cancer or precancer.

6. Nemvaleukin Alfa (ALKS 4230) Monotherapy in Patients With Advanced Cutaneous Melanoma or Advanced Mucosal Melanoma

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to observe the antitumor activity, safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics in patients with inoperable and/or metastatic melanoma following prior anti-PD-[L]-1 therapy.

7. Study of Rezafungin Compared to Standard Antimicrobial Regimen for Prevention of Invasive Fungal Diseases in Adults Undergoing Allogeneic Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ReSPECT)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary objective of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in subjects who received an allogeneic BMT for subjects randomized to Rezafungin for Injection compared to subjects randomized to the standard antimicrobial regimen (SAR) for fungal-free survival at Day 90 (±7 days).

   The primary objective of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for this study is to demonstrate superiority in subjects who received an allogeneic BMT randomized to Rezafungin for Injection compared to subjects randomized to the SAR for fungal-free survival at Day 90 (±7 days).

8. A Study to Test the Effectiveness of Two Immunotherapy Drugs (Nivolumab and Ipilimumab) with One Anti-cancer Targeted Drug (Cabozantinib) for Rare Genitourinary Tumors

   Rochester, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to assess how well cabozantinib works in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with rare genitourinary (GU) tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib, nivolumab, and ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with genitourinary tumors that have no treatment options compared to giving cabozantinib, nivolumab, or ipilimumab alone.

9. A2B101-101: Obtaining Solid Tumor Tissue from Subjects Having Surgical Resection for Certain Tumor Types and Leukapheresis for CAR T-cell Therapy Manufacturing

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The primary objectives for this study are: 

   • The percentage of subjects who can enroll on an A2 CAR T-cell therapy study within approximately 6 months of documentation of HLA-A LOH status
   • The percentage of subjects who can enroll on an A2 CAR T-cell therapy study within approximately 12 months of documentation of HLA-A LOH status
   • The percentage of subjects who can enroll on an A2 CAR T-cell therapy study within approximately 18 months of documentation of HLA-A LOH status
   • The percentage of subjects who can enroll on an A2 CAR T-cell therapy study within approximately 24 months of HLA-A LOH status
   • Percentage of screened subjects experiencing loss of heterozygosity of HLA-A*02.

10. A Study of JNJ-68284528, a Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell (CAR-T) Therapy Directed Against B-cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) in Participants With Multiple Myeloma

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall minimal residual disease (MRD) negative rate of participants who receive JNJ-68284528.
