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

1. 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.

2. 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.  

3. 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.

4. Cardiotoxic Effects of Chemotherapy in Patients with Sarcomas

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) derived-strain can detect early myocardial dysfunction and thus predict cardiotoxicity in sarcoma subjects undergoing anthracycline therapy and to compare three dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) to 2D-STE in the same group of patients.

5. A Study to Compare of the Glycotest™ HCC Panel vs AFP for the Detection of Early-stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the use of the Glycotest HCC Panel vs. the serum protein biomarker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) for the early detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

6. A Study of Proton Radiation Divided into Fewer Doses for Low Risk Prostate Cancer

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) on patients with prostate cancer by comparing the standard dose of radiation therapy (44 treatments over 8½-9 weeks) with a higher daily dose of radiation (5 treatments over 1-2 weeks) to see if the effects of the treatments are similar or better.

7. Cellular Immunotherapy for Viral Induced Cancer - EBV Positive Lymphomas

   Rochester, Minn.

   To investigate the efficacy of autologous Epstein-barr virus (EBV)-specific T cells for the treatment of EBV positive Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) and Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (PTLD) after failing first line treatment.

8. A Study to Evaluate Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy to Treat Patients with Pancreatic Cancer and Peritoneal Metastasis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to assess short-term morbidity and disease-free survival outcomes for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

    

    

9. A Study to Detect Actionable or Predictive Tumor DNA Mutations in Peripheral Blood (Liquid Biopsy) from Patients with Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA)

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

   The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of isolating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cfDNA from patients with CCA for molecular characterization and compare the mutation results between peripheral blood and tumor tissue.

10. Futibatinib and Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic FGF19 Positive BCLC Stage A, B, or C Liver Cancer

    Rochester, Minn.

    This is a single-arm, two-stage, phase II trial to assess the efficacy of futibatinib plus pembrolizumab in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma for patients with FGF19 expression. Patients will receive futibatinib 20mg daily Days 1-21 and will receive pembrolizumab 200mg Day 1 of each 21 day cycle per current clinical standard of care. Patient will receive treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities. Patients will undergo restaging scans every 3 cycles. Subjects will be monitored for adverse events from the beginning of the study drug to 28 days after the last dose. We will collect blood samples for determination of cell free DNA and circulating tumor cells at baseline, after 3 and 6 cycles, and at progression. We will collect tumor biopsy specimens before treatment initiation to develop patient derived tumor organoid.
