1. Profiling of Lung Cancer for Identification of Treatment Targets and Strategies

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this research trail is to study the genetic alteration/mutation and immune profiling in surgical resected Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) tumor samplesand to investigate the correlation between genetic alteration/mutation status and tumor immune micro-environment.

    

    

    

2. Phase II Study of NGC-Triple Regimen in Potentially Resectable Pancreatic Cancer Patients

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   This is a phase II multi-center study of nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine and cisplatin (NGC triple regimen) as preoperative therapy in potentially resectable pancreatic cancer patients. DISEASE STATE - Potentially operable or borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma as assessed by standard CT criteria and histologically confirmed. - Staging by pancreatic protocol, helical abdominal computed tomography (with contrast) or MRI (with contrast) required (endoscopic ultrasound is not required). - No evidence of metastatic disease. Lymphadenopathy (defined as nodes measuring >1 cm in short axis) outside the surgical basin (i.e., para-aortic, peri-caval, celiac axis, or distant nodes) is considered M1 (unless nodes are biopsied and are negative, then enrollment can be considered after review with the study PI). Potentially Resectable Pancreatic Cancer - No involvement of the celiac artery, common hepatic artery, and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and, if present, replaced right hepatic artery. - No involvement or <180° interface between tumor and vessel wall of the portal vein and/or superior mesenteric vein (SMV-PV) and patent portal vein/splenic vein confluence. - For tumors of the body and tail of the pancreas, involvement of the splenic artery and vein of any degree is considered resectable disease. Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer - Tumor-vessel interface ≥180° of vessel wall circumference, and/or reconstructible occlusion of the SMV-PV. - Tumor-vessel interface <180° of the circumference of the SMA. - Tumor-vessel interface <180° of the circumference of the celiac artery. - Reconstructible short-segment interface of any degree between tumor and hepatic artery.

3. MElanoma Research Lymph node prediction Implementation National_001 (MERLIN_001)

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study aims to create a registry for primary melanoma gene-signature to predict sentinel node (SN) status and determine its prognostic value for more accurate staging of SN-negative melanoma patients.

4. Expanded Access Study for the Treatment of Patients With Commercially Out-of-Specification Brexucabtagene Autoleucel

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

    

   The goal of this study is to provide access to brexucabtagene autoleucel for patients diagnosed with a disease approved for treatment with brexucabtagene autoleucel, that is otherwise out of specification for commercial release.

5. International Hepatobiliary Neoplasia Registry and Biorepository

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

   This study is being done to:

   1. Create a registry of patients having or at risk for cancer of the liver or bile ducts (also known as hepatocellular carcinoma or cholangiocarcinoma), or gallbladder cancer, and those individuals who have normal risk factors in order to improve the ability to diagnose and treat these cancers. We will use information in the medical record in this registry including how far advanced the cancer is (stage) and what treatments are used to treat the cancer.

   2. A second purpose of this study is to obtain blood and tissue samples from participants having or at risk for developing cancer of the liver or bile ducts or gallbladder cancer to be used for future research testing. Future testing may include searching for changes in the genetic material (DNA and other molecules).

6. DNA Methylation in Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate: Tissue Validation of Biomarkers and Pilot Testing in Blood

   Rochester, Minn.

   The study will be performed in two phases:  Phase I will be performed for biologic validation of marker candidates from a discovery cohort and phase II will be performed to evaluate the discrimination (sensitivity/specificity) of best candidate markers when assayed from blood of cases with CAP and controls without history of cancer. 

7. DALY 2.0 USA/​ MB-CART2019.1 for DLBCL

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of MB-CART2019.1 cells administered following a conditioning lymphodepletion regimen in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) subjects who failed at least two lines of therapy as measured by objective response rate (ORR) at one month.

8. A Vaccine (H2NVAC) Before Surgery for the Treatment of HER2-Expressing Ductal Carcinoma In Situ

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of a vaccine called H2NVAC before surgery in treating patients with HER2 expressing ductal carcinoma in situ. H2NVAC is a vaccine designed to stimulate specialized white blood cells in hopes of increasing immune response and protecting against breast cancer.

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

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

   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.

10. 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., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    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.
