Below are current clinical trials.
Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.
Rochester, Minn.
Patients that are either scheduled to undergo or have undergone an achalasia procedure at the Mayo Clinic Rochester are asked to participate. The purpose of this study is to gather information and determine if one of these procedures is superior to the other.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this study is to further advance the ability to practice personalized medicine by learning which new drug agents are most effective with which types of breast cancer tumors and by learning more about which early indicators of response (tumor analysis prior to surgery via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images along with tissue and blood samples) are predictors of treatment success.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.
RATIONALE: Gathering medical information and collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue to test in the laboratory may help doctors develop better ways to screen people at risk for pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic disorders in the future.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is collecting medical information and tissue samples from patients with pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic disorders.
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue from family members of patients with cancer to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is collecting blood and tissue samples from family members of patients with pancreatic disease, pancreatic cancer, and melanoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if pulsed arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging (PASL MRI) is able to measure a difference in hypothalamic blood flow in patients with anorexia nervosa, opposite than obesity when compared to health.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.
RATIONALE: Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as hypoxia-activated prodrug TH-302, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sorafenib tosylate together with hypoxia-activated prodrug TH-302 may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of giving sorafenib tosylate together with hypoxia-activated prodrug TH-302 and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced kidney cancer or liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
The purpose of this study is to gather information that may improve the medical care of children who need or who have had liver transplants.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the bacteria that live in the small and large intestine and the role that these bacteria play in causing inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.
This protocol is designed to compare the effectiveness of two dietary interventions for patients with Crohn's disease (CD): the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and a Mediterranean style diet (MSD) that has been demonstrated to have numerous other health benefits. The two diets will be compared in terms of their ability to resolve both the symptoms and bowel inflammation that characterize this debilitating disease.
The purpose of this study is to identify changes to the metabolome (range of chemicals produced in the body) and microbiome (intestine microbe environment) that are unique to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and assess the associated effect on the metabolism of patients with type 2 diabetes.
