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

1. Evaluation of a Mixed Meal Test for Diagnosis and Characterization and Type 3c Diabetes Mellitus Secondary to Pancreatic Cancer and Chronic Pancreatitis (DETECT)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a blood test to distinguish various causes of diabetes by evaluating patients who have developed diabetes within the last 3 years, but we will also enroll a small number of patients with long-term diabetes and normal blood sugars for comparison. 

   Diabetes mellitus is a common condition which is defined by persistently high blood sugar levels.  This is a frequent problem that is most commonly due to type 2 diabetes.  However, it is now recognized that a small portion of the population with diabetes have an underlying problem with their pancreas, such as chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, as the cause of their diabetes.  Currently, there is no test to identify the small number of patients who have diabetes caused by a primary problem with their pancreas.

    

2. Screening for High Frequency Malignant Disease

   Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis.

   The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a blood-based GuardantLUNAR-2 test to detect high frequency cancer in screen-relevant populations.

    

3. Imaging of Prostatic Anatomy in Patients with Known Prostate Cancer and Those at High-Risk using Magnetic Resonance Elastography

   Rochester, Minn.

   Many of the current imaging tests we have for prostate cancer are problematic in their ability to distinguish cancerous from non-cancerous prostate tissue. This study is being performed to develop better imaging techniques to better identify and characterize prostate cancer.

4. A Bio-bank for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Associated Neoplasia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect blood and stool samples to validate and improve the performance of stool and blood DNA markers for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal neoplasia critical to the long-term goal of improving effectiveness of neoplasia detection in patients using non-invasive biomarkers to assist colonoscopy and radiographic screening. 

5. A Phase 1, Study of BMF-500 in Adults With Acute Leukemia

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BMF-500 and to determine the OBD and RP2D of BMF-500.

6. A Prospective Ocular Tumor Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to use clinical, imaging, molecular, and epidemiological investigation toward the goal of providing new knowledge about ocular tumors that will be useful in understanding, diagnosing, monitoring, and suggesting new avenues of treatment. This study does not involve experimental treatment of any ocular tumor, but rather observation of tumor natural history or outcomes following standard of care therapy, associated systemic and ocular conditions, and basic research investigations to better understand tumor biomarkers and pathophysiology.

7. Blood and Urine Identification of Methylated DNA Markers in Invasive Bladder Carcinoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to, in tissue, discover and validate DNA methylation markers (MDMs) for detection of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. In blood, to assess the accuracy of candidate MDMs from above for detection of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. In urine, to explore the accuracy of candidate MDMs from above for detection of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.  Diagnostic accuracy on urine can be compared with that on plasma using paired samples.

8. A Study Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of Therapies in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (INTRINSIC)

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

   This open-label, exploratory study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted therapies or immunotherapy as single agents or combinations, in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) whose tumors are biomarker positive as per treatment arm-specific definition. Eligible participants with mCRC will be enrolled into specific treatment arms based on their biomarker assay results.

9. A Study of AG-946 in Participants With Anemia Due to Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (LR-MDS)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of phase 2a is to establish proof-of-concept (POC) for AG-946 in participants with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS) and to evaluate the safety, effect, and pharmacokineticsof AG-946 on additional measures of anemia. Additionally to evaluate the effect of AG-946 on transfusion burden (participants with LTB only) and the effect of AG-946 on pharmacodynamic biomarkers.

   The purpose of phase 2b is to compare the effect of AG-946 versus placebo and to detect a doseresponse for erythroid response in participants with LR-MD

10. A Study to Evaluate EAA181 to Treat Newly-diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

    Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis.

    The primary purpose of this study is to determine if bortezomib, daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Btz-DRd) consolidation followed by daratumumab and lenalidomide (DR) maintenance after standard induction therapy with daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DRd) results in superior overall survival compared to DRd consolidation followed by DR maintenance, in MRD positive patients.
