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

1. Dendritic Cell Therapy, Cryosurgery, and Pembrolizumab in Treating Patients With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of dendritic cell therapy, cryosurgery and pembrolizumab in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Vaccines, such as dendritic cell therapy made from a person's tumor cells and white blood cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Cryosurgery kills cancer cells by freezing them. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving dendritic cell therapy, cryosurgery and pembrolizumab may work better at treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

2. A Study of Lenvatinib for Treating Patients with Metastatic or Advanced Pheochromocytoma or Paraganglioma that Cannot be Removed by Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of lenvatinib for treating patients who have pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

3. Preventing Anthracycline Cardiovascular Toxicity with Statins (PREVENT)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this research study is to see if Atorvastatin(Lipitor) 40 mg by mouth daily decreases the chance of developing heart problems in women who are receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy for breast cancer.

4. Cell Free DNA (Cfdna) Blood Assays for the Detection of EGFR and Other Clinically Relevant Gene Mutations in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objective of this study is to validate internally developed assays for the detection of clinically relevant gene mutations in cfDNA from the peripheral blood of patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma.

5. A Study of Caplacizumab in Patients with Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of caplacizumab treatment in more rapidly curtailing ongoing microvascular thrombosis when administered in addition to standard of care treatment in subjects with an acute episode of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

6. Gemcitabine Hydrochloride Alone or With VX-970 in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

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

   This randomized phase II trial studies how well Ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad3-related [ATR] kinase inhibitor VX-970 (VX-970) and gemcitabine hydrochloride work compared to standard treatment with gemcitabine hydrochloride alone in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). ATR kinase inhibitor VX-970 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking an enzyme needed for cell growth, and may also help gemcitabine hydrochloride work better. Gemcitabine hydrochloride is a drug used in chemotherapy that works to stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking cells from growing and repairing themselves, causing them to die. It is not yet known whether adding ATR kinase inhibitor VX-970 to standard treatment with gemcitabine hydrochloride is more effective than gemcitabine hydrochloride alone in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

7. Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CUDC-907 in Patients With RR DLBCL, Including Patients With MYC Alterations

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CUDC-907 in subjects 18 years and older with Relapsed/Refractory (RR) MYC-altered Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

8. Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works in treating patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement or that does not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells.

9. Pembrolizumab and Ibrutinib in Treating Patients With Stage III-IV Melanoma That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and ibrutinib work in treating patients with stage III-IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and ibrutinib may work better in treating patients with melanoma.

10. A Dose-Finding Study of Folotyn® (Pralatrexate Injection) Plus CHOP With Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of pralatrexate in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) regimen in patients with newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).
