Read about ongoing melanoma surgery-related clinical trials at Mayo Clinic in Florida: Below are current clinical trials.5 studies in Melanoma Surgical Oncology in Jacksonville (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Tebentafusp Regimen Versus Investigator's Choice In Previously Treated Advanced Melanoma (TEBE-AM) Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tebentafusp-based regimens, including tebentafusp monotherapy and in combination with anti-PD1 vs investigator choice (including clinical trials of investigational agents, salvage therapy per local standard of care \[SoC\], best supportive care \[BSC\] on protocol survivor follow up) in patients with advanced non-ocular melanoma. BiCaZO: A Study Combining Two Immunotherapies (Cabozantinib And Nivolumab) To Treat Patients With Advanced Melanoma Or Squamous Cell Head And Neck Cancer, An ImmunoMATCH Pilot Study Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of molecular characterization based on tumor mutational burden (TMB) for participant stratification, as assessed by the proportion of participants with less than or equal to a 21-day turnaround time for biopsy results in Stage I of the study. Also, to evaluate the feasibility of molecular characterization based on TMB and gene expression profiling (GEP) (for TIS - tumor inflammation signature) for stratification in the overall study (Stage I and Stage II). Additinoally, to evaluate the effectiveness by overall response rate (ORR – defined as confirmed and unconfirmed partial responses plus complete responses) of cabozantinib plus nivolumab in each disease cohort, both across and within tumor biomarker subgroups. Circulating Tumor Nucleic Acids To Monitor Treatment Response In Metastatic Melanoma Patients Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This project will investigate whether the analysis of nucleic acids circulating in the blood from tumors can allow real-time monitoring of treatment response to targeted therapy and immunotherapy for patients who have stage IV metastatic melanoma. Comparison Of In-Home Versus In-Clinic Administration Of Subcutaneous Nivolumab Through Cancer CARE (Connected Access And Remote Expertise) Beyond Walls (CCBW) Program Jacksonville, Fla. This phase II trial compares the impact of subcutaneous (SC) nivolumab given in an in-home setting to an in-clinic setting on cancer care and quality of life. Currently, most drug-related cancer care is conducted in clinic type centers or hospitals which may isolate patients from family, friends and familiar surroundings for many hours per day. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. Traveling to and from medical facilities costs time, money, and effort and can be a disadvantage to patients living in rural areas, those with low incomes or poor access to transport. Studies have shown that cancer patients often feel more comfortable and secure being cared for in their own home environments. SC nivolumab in-home treatment may be safe, tolerable and/or effective when compared to in-clinic treatment and may reduce the burden of cancer and improve the quality of life in cancer patients. Defining The Immunologic Profile Of Sentinel Lymph Nodes And Identifying The Mechanisms Responsible For Immunosuppression Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to look at the effects cancer and melanoma have on the immune cells found in lymph nodes.

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.
