1. A Study to Evaluate Women's Birth Experience and Postpartum Mental Health Outcomes

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to implement a facilitated peer support group for women that have experienced an unexpected birth process in the last 12 months. 

2. 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.

3. A Study to Evaluate NT-proBNP Levels in the Prediction of Intrapartum and Postpartum Events in Adult Congenital Heart Disease Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the relationship between NT-proBNP levels obtained at time of admission for delivery and subsequent cardiovascular events in ACHD patients, and to describe normative values for NT-proBNP at time of admission for delivery in an uncomplicated obstetric population.

4. A Study to Evaluate Immunotherapy and Ovarian Function Among Pre-menopausal Melanoma Survivors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to analyze the ovarian function of female premenopausal melanoma survivors who have undergone immunotherapy, and compare with data from age-matched controls, prospectively investigate ovarian function in premenopausal women with melanoma undergoing immunotherapy, and to identify the impact of ovarian function change on the frequency and function of CD8+ T cells during immunotherapy.

5. Mayo Clinic Superspecialty Telemedicine Consultation Pilot Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The overall objective of this project is to determine the feasibility of implementing a superspecialist consult model between Mayo Clinic and UMMC in the field of OB nephrology in 20 participants who are ≥ 18 years of age. 

    

    

6. Sequencing for Families with Hereditary Disorders

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this project will examine the feasibility of offering whole genome sequencing (WGS), and developing a Rapid WGS protocol, for a fetus or neonate with multiple anomalies.

7. A Study to Evaluate Whether or Not Pelvic Peritonectomy Improves Quality of Life for Patients Regardless of Endometriosis Pathology?

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate if complete pelvic peritonectomy is associated with improved quality of life in patients with chronic pelvic pain without histologic diagnosis of endometriosis as compared to patients with histologic diagnosis of endometriosis. 

8. Changes in Blood Components in Patients with Ovarian Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assemble a collection of serial plasma biospecimens from women with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer for future research projects to identify changes in levels of various plasma components that occur during the course of ovarian cancer, including changes that occur with debulking surgery, chemotherapy, disease relapse, and subsequent therapy.

9. A Study to Evaluate Olaparib and Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Advanced, Metastatic, or Unresectable Uterine Leiomyosarcoma

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate olaparib and temozolomide in treating patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) that has spread to other places of the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, 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. Giving olaparib and temozolomide may work better than giving either drug alone in treating patients with LMS.

10. Understanding the Patient Experience in Progesterone Management for Endometrial Cancer and Complex Atypical Hyperplasia

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the specific patient experience for women undergoing progesterone management for early-stage endometrial cancer and complex atypical hyperplasia due to morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 40).
