Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.84 studies in Hematology (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Chemotherapy Alone or Chemotherapy Plus Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients with Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Undergoing Surgery Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer involves chemotherapy and radiation, known as 5FUCMT, (the chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil/capecitabine and radiation therapy) prior to surgery. Although radiation therapy to the pelvis has been a standard and important part of treatment for rectal cancer and has been shown to decrease the risk of the cancer coming back in the same area in the pelvis, some patients experience undesirable side effects from the radiation and there have been important advances in chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation which may be of benefit. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, both good and bad, of the standard treatment of chemotherapy and radiation to chemotherapy using a combination regimen known as FOLFOX, (the drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin and leucovorin) and selective use of the standard treatment, depending on response to the FOLFOX. The drugs in the FOLFOX regimen are all FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved and have been used routinely to treat patients with advanced colorectal cancer. A Study to Collect Data and Blood Samples from Mayo Patients Who Have or are Suspected of Having Amyloidosis, or Their Family Members, for Future Research Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to create a data collection and bioregistry of blood samples from Mayo Clinic patients with amyloidosis, suspected amyloidosis, and family members of patients with amyloidosis. This information will be available for future research about this spectrum of diseases. A Study to Determine the Effects of Activity by Ambulation in Hospital Premises versus Strict Protective Isolation on Quality of Life in Severely Neutropenic Cancer Patients during Hospitalization Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to determine if allowing patients to ambulate in the hallways outside of their hospital room by relaxing the policy of strict protective isolation in neutropenic patients improves the quality of life, and if this increases the risk of infection among these patients during hospitalization. In Vivo Assessment of Glutamine Utilization by Bone Marrow Plasma Cells Rochester, Minn. This study will establish in vivo and ex vivo methodologies of assessing the utilization of extracellular nutrients by normal bone marrow plasma cells from healthy subjects. A Study of APG-2575 Alone or in Combination with Other Therapeutic Agents to Treat Relapsed and/or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability, identify dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of APG-2575. Cutaneous Lymphoma Database Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to create a long-term, prospective database of cutaneous lymphoma that will lead to a better understanding of the biological behavior of cutaneous lymphomas as well as the effectiveness of interventions. A Study to Evaluate Performance of Coagulation Laboratory Testing in Children and Young Adults Rochester, Minn. The primary purpose of this study is to generate pediatric-specific reference ranges that take into account patient sex, age, corrected gestational age, ethnicity, etc., and laboratory variables for various coagulation studies. Exploring the Role of B-cell Activating Factor Receptor (BAFFR)-based Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR T) in BAFFR-expressing B-cell Hematologic Malignancies and Autoimmune Rheumatologic Disorders Jacksonville, Fla. The purposes of this study are to explore the therapeutic efficacy of BAFFR-CAR T cells in BAFFR-expressing B-cell hematologic malignancies including large B-cell, mantle cell and follicular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-cell ALL) using primary tumor and/or patient derived xenograft models, and to explore the therapeutic efficacy of BAFFR-CAR T cells in autoimmune rheumatologic diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis using primary samples and/or patient derived xenograft models. A Study to Evaluate Remote Monitoring in Cancer Care Rochester, Minn. The objectives of this study are to establish the validity for the use of wearable device for continuous, remote monitoring of physiologic parameters, to establish the validity for the use of wearable device for continuous, remote monitoring of physiologic parameters, and to develop patient-specific algorithms to predict the trajectory of CRS and or neurotoxicity and time to escalation of medical intervention is needed. Biorepository for Acute Leukemia Research Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this IRB protocol is to establish a specimen bank for research into acute leukemias. In particular, we plan to bank blood and bone marrow from patients with newly diagnoses or relapsed acute leukemia (AML or ALL) for future biological studies. By accruing samples both at initial diagnosis and at relapse, we will be able to investigate not only the biology of these marrow disorders, but also the changes that occur to render these disorders resistant to therapy. These activities are a first step toward identifying alternative therapies and subsequently beginning to personalize the therapy for these disorders.

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.
