Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.23 studies in Lung Cancer Program (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Evaluate Exemestane in Post-Menopausal Women with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Albert Lea, Minn., Mankato, Minn. This study is being conducted to see if adding Exemestane to the immune checkpoint blockade can slow disease progression in post-menopausal women with non-small cell lung cancer. A Global Study to Assess the Effects of MEDI4736, Given as Monotherapy or in Combination With Tremelimumab Determined by PD-L1 Expression Versus Standard of Care in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This study is a Phase III, randomised, open label, multi-centre study assessing the efficacy and safety of MEDI4736 versus Standard of Care in NSCLC patients with PD-L1 positive tumours and the combination of MEDI4736 plus tremelimumab (MEDI4736+treme) versus Standard of Care in NSCLC patients with PD-L1-negative tumours in the treatment of male and female patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (Stage IIIB-IV), who have received at least 2 prior systemic treatment regimens including 1 platinum-based chemotherapy regimen for NSCLC. Patients with known EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) tyrosine kinase (TK) activating mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements are not eligible for the study (prospective testing is not planned within this study). The Standard of Care options are: an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (erlotinib [TARCEVA®]), gemcitabine or vinorelbine (NAVELBINE®). A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-tumor Activity of WSD0922-FU Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of WSD0922-FU in subjects with recurrent glioblastoma, IDH wildtype (GBM), anaplastic astrocytoma, IDH wildtype (AA) and CNS metastases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A Study to Evaluate Fractionated Radiation Therapy Utilizing GRID Therapy for Locally-advanced Bulky Tumors Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this research is to study radiographic control at the 3 month time-point, the side effects (good & bad), survival outcomes and proof of this idea in patients who have had grid therapy for locally advanced bulky tumors of the heat and neck, thorax, abdomen and extremities. Profiling of Lung Cancer for Identification of Treatment Targets and Strategies Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this research trail is to study the genetic alteration/mutation and immune profiling in surgical resected Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) tumor samplesand to investigate the correlation between genetic alteration/mutation status and tumor immune micro-environment. Crizotinib in Treating Patients with Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer that has been Removed by Surgery and ALK Fusion Mutations (An ALCHEMIST Treatment Trial) Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works and compares it to placebo in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called ALK. Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Tumors with this mutation may respond to treatments that target the mutation, such as crizotinib. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. It is not yet known if crizotinib may be an effective treatment for treating non-small cell lung cancer with an ALK fusion mutation. A Study of Sonidegib and Pembrolizumab in Advanced Solid Tumors Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of sonidegib in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors as part of the dose escalation phase, and to estimate the response rate of sonidegib in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with NSCLC or pancreas cancer as part of the expansion cohort based on RECIST criteria. A Study of Performing Surgery for Resectable Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma After Radiation Therapy Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess the possibility, safety, and therapeutic effect of administering a short, quick course of high-dose radiation treatment focused on half of the chest, followed by surgery to remove that portion of the lungs, in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. A Study to Collect Thoracic Specimens to Develop a Thoracic Specimen Registry Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a Thoracic Specimen Registry at Mayo Clinic. The purpose of the registry will be to support ongoing research in the etiology, early diagnosis, clinical management, and prognosis of lung cancer and other cancers and diseases of the thorax by developing a complete repository of specimens from patients with thoracic disease including but not limited to suspected lung cancer, mediastinal and pleural tumors and from patients at a very high risk of developing other thoracic cancers or other thoracic diseases. SBRT with Immunotherapy for Mesothelioma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether adding stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to immunotherapy as part of second line treatment for mesothelioma will improve the modest response rate of immunotherapy alone, provide local control/cytoreduction to sites of gross disease, and decrease symptomatic burden while improving outcomes.

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.
