Clinical trials Mayo Clinic advances the science and practice of breast and melanoma surgical care with innovative therapies, new techniques and clinical trials. A Study to Evaluate the da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System in Nipple Sparing Mastectomy (NSM) Procedures Read about ongoing breast surgery- and melanoma surgery-related clinical trials at Mayo Clinic. Below are current clinical trials.18 studies in Breast and Melanoma Surgical Oncology (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Understanding the Relationship Between Benign Breast Tissue, Benign Breast Disease, and Breast Cancer Development Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to culture human mammary cells to identify cellular characteristics associated with lobular involution status. ACT-MBC: A Study of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) (ACT-MBC) Rochester, Minn., Mankato, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., Albert Lea, Minn. Collection of blood to track serial circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in subjects with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Study will also collect data from investigators are Mayo Clinic and the Mayo Clinic Health Systems to determine effectiveness of the proposed process. 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. Trial of Multi-epitope HER2 Peptide Vaccine in Patients with HER2-expressing DCIS Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. 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. A Study of 3-D Digital Mammography to Screen Patients for Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate digital tomosynthesis (3-D) mammography and digital mammography in screening patients for breast cancer. Screening for breast cancer with tomosynthesis mammography may be superior to digital mammography for breast cancer screening and may help reduce the need for additional imaging or treatment. A Registry for the Collection and Maintenance of Biological Specimens for Breast Cancer Research Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this registry is to collect and maintain samples of breast tissue from women and men undergoing surgery for a breast related concern at Mayo Clinic Rochester, to create a biospecimen resource for the study of benign and cancerous breast conditions. A Study to Establish a Living Breast Organoid Biobank for Translational Research Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. Researchers at Mayo Clinic are developing a Biobank of adult stem cell-rich breast organoids, a new research resource to facilitate normal and cancer stem cell research. Subjects in the Biobank will provide samples of excess breast tissue, complete a health questionnaire, and allow access to medical records now and in the future. The Biobank serves as a library for researchers; instead of having to look for volunteers for each new project, researchers can use samples from the Biobank as well as share information already collected. Breast Cancer: Can We Predict Pathological Complete Response following Neoadjuvant Treatment? Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This project will investigate whether ctDNA analysis in newly diagnosed stage I, II, III breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant systemic therapy can predict pathological Complete Response (pCR). A Study to Evaluate Radiotherapy to the Whole Breast or Post-mastectomy Chest Wall Including Regional Nodal Irradiation Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of 5 fraction vs. 25 fraction radiation to the whole breast or post-mastectomy chest wall/reconstructed chest with regional nodal radiation. A Study to Evaluate the Safety of the Goldilocks Procedure with Implant-Based Reconstruction Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to assess outcomes, satisfaction and aesthetics of two different breast reconstruction techniques (Goldilocks alone, and Goldilocks with Implant-Based Reconstruction) and compare its safety, patient satisfaction, aesthetic evaluation and complications.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
