1. A Study to Detect Prostate Cancer Extraprostatic Extension with Slip Interface Imaging Determined Tumor Slip Length

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the perfomance a MR-based imaging technology (named Slip Interface Imaging) in predicting extraprostatic extension in prostate cancers.  

2. Financial Difficulty in Patients With Blood Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to analyze the financial difficulties experienced by patients undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It is composed of a patient survey (n=250), a physician survey (n=100), and a practice survey completed by each site enrolling patients onto this study. A subset of enrolled patients (n=35) will be invited to participate in an optional second telephone interview (Appendix D). This study will measure the prevalence of patient-reported financial difficulty, specific financial burdens and resources currently available to patients and from practices to assist with patient financial navigation.

3. Optical Fusion Trans-Perineal Grid

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate and assess a new perineal access tool to enable image guided prostate interventions by Clear Guide Medical in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic.

    

4. Memantine Hydrochloride and Whole-Brain Radiotherapy With or Without Hippocampal Avoidance in Reducing Neurocognitive Decline in Patients With Brain Metastases

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

   This randomized phase III trial compares memantine hydrochloride and whole-brain radiotherapy with or without hippocampal avoidance in reducing neurocognitive decline in patients with cancer that has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to the brain. Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is the most common treatment for brain metastasis. Unfortunately, the majority of patients with brain metastases experience cognitive (such as learning and memory) deterioration after WBRT. Memantine hydrochloride may enhance cognitive function by binding to and inhibiting channels of receptors located in the central nervous system. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Using radiation techniques, such as intensity modulated radiotherapy to avoid the hippocampal region during WBRT, may reduce the radiation dose to the hippocampus and help limit the radiation-induced cognitive decline. It is not yet known whether giving memantine hydrochloride and WBRT with or without hippocampal avoidance works better in reducing neurocognitive decline in patients with brain metastases.

5. Quantitative Assessment of Tumor Ablation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze potential correlation between ablation zone/margin and tumor recurrence by using the Software Product to quantitatively evaluate diagnostic/pre-operative CT images, intra-operative CT images during ablation procedures, and follow-up CT images; and to apply and evaluate the FDA cleared Software Product during CT-guided ablation procedures for intra-operative monitoring and confirmation.
   
    

6. A Study to Evaluate Immune and Hematopoietic Cell Assessment in Clonal B Cell Conditions

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune and hematopoietic compartments in patients with monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis (MBL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in comparison to age-matched healthy control (HC) donors.

7. A Study of the Impact of the Terminology Used to Identify Papillary Thyroid Cancer on the Treatment Options Chosen by Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to explore how using different terms (with or without the word cancer) to identify papillary thyroid cancer might affect the decisions patients would make about treatment.

8. 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.

9. A Study to Define Axl Expression Level in Skin Biopsy Specimens from Patients with Skin Cancer in Relation to Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to define the presence and role of Axl in the risk of skin cancers in patients with CLL as well as non-CLL patients.

10. Protein-bound Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, And Gemcitabine (GCN) Combined with Tumor Treatment Fields (TTF) in Patients with Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of a specific treatment regimen (protein-bound Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, And Gemcitabine (GCN)) combined with a device called Tumor Treatment Fields (TTF) in preventing tumor growth in paitents with recurrent recurrent and/or metastatic pancreatic cancer (met-PC).
