Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. A Study to Evaluate Performance of Coagulation Laboratory Testing in Children and Young Adults

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to generate pediatric-specific reference ranges that take into account patient sex, age, corrected gestational age, ethnicity, etc., and laboratory variables for various coagulation studies.

2. A Study to Evaluate Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea in Breast Cancer Patients

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

   The long-term goal of this study is to alleviate the occurrence of CIN and fatigue and to improve chemotherapy treatment outcomes. The identification of associations between fatigue, CIN and chemotherapy-induced changes in gut microbiome composition profiles will increase our understanding of these mechanisms that underlie patient symptom experience. An increased understanding of the underlying mechanisms will provide targets for the development of novel interventions to help alleviate fatigue and CIN.

3. Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1)-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in HER2-positive Breast Cancer Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the patient-reported outcomes data of T-DM1 induced peripheral neuropathy like prior research focused on paclitaxel-, paclitaxel/CBDCA-, oxaliplatin-, and cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy, to better understand the similarities and differences of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) symptoms caused by different agents, their pathogenesis, and impacts.

4. SULF1 and SULF2 Role in Cholangiocarcinoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has key similarities with HCC, therefore, we hypothesize that Sulf1 and Sulf2 may also play roles in promotion of CCA progression.

5. Patient Experience and Understanding of Genetic Testing in Ovarian Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate the experience and understanding of patients with ovarian cancer in relation to genetic testing by means of one-on-one qualitative interviews and survey.

6. YH001 Plus Envafolimab With or Without Doxorubicin in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Sarcoma

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of YH001 when given with envafolimab dosed at 600 mg SC every 3 weeks in patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma who are refractory to or intolerant to other available therapies. Also, to evaluate safety and tolerability and determine RP2D of YH001 in combination with envafolimab dosed at 600 mg SC every 3 weeks and doxorubicin dosed at 75 mg/m2 every three weeks in patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma who have not received doxorubicin or checkpoint inhibitors and are refractory to or intolerant to other available therapies.

7. A Study of Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of APG-2575 as well as dose escalation and dose expansion stages.

8. A Study of Prostate Cancer Care and Survivorship Among Sub-Saharan African Immigrant Impacted by Social Determinants of Migrant Health Factors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary objective of this study is to employ the social determinant of migrant health framework (International Organization for Migration, n.d.) to examine the impact of immigration on the health-seeking behaviors of Sub-Saharan African Immigrant (SSAI) including informed-decision making, psychosocial effects and coping mechanisms.  

9. Biorepository for Acute Leukemia Research

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this IRB protocol is to establish a specimen bank for research into acute leukemias. In particular, we plan to bank blood and bone marrow from patients with newly diagnoses or relapsed acute leukemia (AML or ALL) for future biological studies. By accruing samples both at initial diagnosis and at relapse, we will be able to investigate not only the biology of these marrow disorders, but also the changes that occur to render these disorders resistant to therapy. These activities are a first step toward identifying alternative therapies and subsequently beginning to personalize the therapy for these disorders.

10. Study of Validated Biomarkers in Urine for Patients with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of DNA marker candidates (individually and in combination) assayed from urine and prostatic fluid (collected following digital prostate massage) for detection of prostate cancer.
