Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Ipilimumab, Nivolumab, and Brentuximab Vedotin in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab when given together with brentuximab vedotin in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement or has not responded to previous treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Brentuximab vedotin is a combining monoclonal antibody with an anticancer drug that binds to a protein on the surface of lymphoma cells called cluster of differentiation (CD)30 and may kill the cells. Giving ipilimumab or nivolumab or both with brentuximab vedotin may kill more cancer cells.

2. Development of Tissue Bank of Blood, Urine, and Bone Marrow from Patients with B-Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-CLL)

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is being done to find biologic abnormalities in the lymphocyte cells of patients with CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia). In order to validate these tests, cells from patients with CLL will be studied when the tests are ready in the laboratory. This study is also being done to learn more about the environmental and genetic factors that might be responsible for CLL. Finding such factors would help us understand the causes and possible prevention of this cancer.

3. Dose Escalation Study of I-131-CLR1404 in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

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

   The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of I-131-CLR1404, with and without concurrent weekly dexamethasone, in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have previously been treated with, or are intolerant of, an immunomodulator and a proteasome inhibitor.

4. A Study of Disulfiram and Chemotherapy in Pancreas Cancer Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   This partially randomized phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of disulfiram when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride in treating patients with a solid tumor that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and to compare whether disulfiram and gemcitabine hydrochloride may reduce tumor induced muscle loss. Weight loss occurs in pancreatic cancer patients and is common in a multitude of other cancers. Patients with metastatic cancer and weight loss sometimes are not able to receive treatment due to physical weakness or debility. Disulfiram is a potential inhibitor of muscle degradation and may reduce tumor induced muscle wasting. Disulfiram may also help gemcitabine hydrochloride work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet know whether giving gemcitabine hydrochloride with or without disulfiram is a better treatment for unresectable solid tumors or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

5. Alisertib With or Without Fulvestrant in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic, Endocrine-Resistant Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This phase II trial studies how well alisertib with or without fulvestrant works in treating patients with endocrine-resistant breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Hormone therapy using fulvestrant may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells or reducing the amount of estrogen made by the body. Giving alisertib with or without fulvestrant may be better in treating patients with breast cancer.

6. A Study of Entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the Treatment of Patients with Solid Tumors that have NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK Gene Rearrangements

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

   The purpose of this study is to determine the response of entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that have an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene rearrangement.

7. Dose-Escalation Study of BFCR4350A in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (R/R MM)

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   This is a phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of BFCR4350A administered as a single agent by IV infusion to participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM).

8. A Study of Cabiralizumab Given With Nivolumab With and Without Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether an investigational immuno-therapy, cabiralizumab in combination with nivolumab, with or without chemotherapy, is effective for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer.

9. A Study Investigating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Effectiveness of Mosunetuzumab (BTCT4465A) in Combination With CHOP or CHP-Polatuzumab Vedotin in Participants With B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary effectiveness of mosunetuzumab in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (M-CHOP) and, subsequently, in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHP) plus polatuzumab vedotin (CHP-pola) in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and in previously untreated participants with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

10. 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.
