1. A Study to Assess Endometrial Cancer Recurrence in Patients After 36 Months

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the 36-month incidence of pelvic/non-vaginal recurrence among patients with surgical stage I intermediate-risk endometrial cancer.

   Eligible patients presenting with apparent uterine confined grade 1, 2, or 3 endometrioid endometrial cancer will undergo standard-of-care primary surgical treatment with a cervical injection of indocyanine green (ICG) dye for SLN mapping, a total hysterectomy, removal of the adnexae and staging with sentinel node mapping and pelvic washings. 

   The final assessment for inclusion in the follow-up part of the study will be determined from the results of the final hysterectomy and staging pathology report to ensure bilaterally negative pelvic sentinel nodes and a surgical stage I endometrioid endometrial cancer grade 1 or 2 with 50% or more uterine myoinvasion or grade 3 with less than 50% uterine myoinvasion. Women meeting this criteria will comprise the study cohort and be followed for three years.   

    

2. A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of HMPL-306 to Treat Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors with IDH Mutations

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness of HMPL-306 in advanced or metastatic solid tumors with IDH mutation.

3. Patient Adherence and Symptoms During Post-operative Fluid Restriction Protocol After Transsphenoidal Surgery

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objectives of this study are to survey patients during the post-operative period regarding their experience with fluid restriction including adherence and discomfort, and to document rates of hyponatremia and readmissions in post-operative patients.

   Advances in endonasal, endoscopic transsphenoidal surgical techniques have decreased complications and length of stay for persons undergoing resection of sellar and suprasellar masses  Previous research by investigators now at Mayo (SLS, AQH) has shown that particular interventions including fluid restriction post-operatively decrease patient morbidity (e.g., from hyponatremia) and readmissions while maintaining patient safety. However, the patient perspective on the impact of fluid restriction has not been documented.

    

4. Prehabilitation

   Rochester, Minn.

   Physical activity plays an important role in reducing the adverse effects of cancer treatment. There are few studies using prehabilitation to improve peri-operative outcomes in patients undergoing cancer surgery. This study will pilot a program of structured activity for women undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the intent to improve their physical state prior to surgical intervention and thus improve outcomes.

   It has been shown that patients with advanced ovarian cancer may suffer from high levels of cancer –specific distress, depression and anxiety. It has also been proposed that psychological resilience can favorably affect psychological and treatment-related outcomes in cancer patients. Most current studied mindfulness-based interventions are limited by the time commitment required by the patient, which is difficult for patients with advanced cancer undergoing treatment, therefore we have created a virtual program that is more easily accessible by patients. 

   Frailty is thought to be mediated by senescent cells and their dynamic secretome, referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Senescent cells contribute to age-related tissue deterioration, inflammation, and fibrosis. A group of novel frailty biomarkers obtained at the time of diagnosis has been examined in advanced OC patients. Preliminary data show that these biomarkers strongly correlate with the clinical frailty phenotype, and define a frail subgroup of patients with higher treatment related morbidity and worse survival. These markers may represent important surrogate clinical trial endpoints, as well as deepen the understanding of aging in women with ovarian cancer. In this pilot, these markers and other surrogate endpoints for future novel translational research in the science of aging will be explored. 

    

5. A Study to Develop and Maintain a Registry of Specimens from Patients with Bladder Cancer

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to develop and maintain a registry of blood and urine specimens of patients who have been treated for bladder cancer.

6. A Study to Evaluate MRTX849 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors with KRAS G12C Mutation

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

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of MRTX849 in patients having advanced solid tumor malignancies with KRAS G12C mutation.

7. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Determine the Optimal Dose for the Expansion Cohorts of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Refractory Solid Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of VSV-IFNβ-NIS in combination with pembrolizumab, followed by expansion to examine effectiveness of combination therapy in patients with refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) or Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

8. Iberdomide, Daratumumab, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone for Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma, IDEAL Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to find the maximum tolerated dose of iberdomide for patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma,  and to determine response rate during induction treatment when combined with daratumumab, bortezomib and dexamethansone. 

9. Low Dose Aspirin for the Prevention of Postpartum Related Breast Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to test whether a short course of aspirin can change the markers of inflammation in patients who have a benign finding within five years of their last pregnancy, and possibly reduce their risk of future breast cancer.

10. A Study to Evaluate Tazemetostat Combined with Lenalidomide Plus Rituximab in Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma

    Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tazemetostat in combination with R2 in subjects with Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma (R/R FL), who have completed at least 1 prior systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or chemoimmunotherapy.
