Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.551 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Treatment of Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) Patients (FIBROSARC USA) Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The present study is an open-label, randomized, controlled, two-arm multi-center study of the efficacy of L19TNF treatment in combination with doxorubicin versus doxorubicin alone in metastatic or unresectable soft-tissue sarcoma patients. In the study, 122 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive doxorubicin treatment (Arm 1) or L19TNF treatment in combination with doxorubicin (Arm 2). The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate if L19TNF in combination with doxorubicin (Arm 2) given for unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma improves efficacy measured as progression free survival, as compared to doxorubicin alone (Arm 1). Anti-cancer activity will be assessed every 6 weeks during therapy and every 12 weeks thereafter. Cell, Serum, and Buccal Bank for Patients with Chronic Myeloid Disorders and Acute Leukemia Rochester, Minn. This study is being done to store blood, buccal (cheek) cells, genetic material including DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), and bone marrow so that they can be used for laboratory studies that may contribute to finding the causes of disease and factors that may determine disease progression and treatment response. A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of ALLO-501A CAR T Cell Therapy in Adults with Relapsed/ Refractory Large B Cell Lymphoma Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of ALLO-501A to treat patients with relapsed/refractory large B cell lymphoma (LBCL) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). A Study to Collect Surgical Tumor Samples for Prostate Cancer-derived Tissue Graft Rochester, Minn. The purposes of this study are to collect prostate surgical samples from metastatic patients to establish xenograft tumor lines for future testing of potential therapies and for understanding mechanisms of therapy resistance via DNA/RNA sequencing, to collect patient blood samples for future DNA/RNA sequencing , and to collect patient urine samples for future prostate cancer related biomarker detection and DNA/RNA sequencing. A Study to Assess Pre-analytical Factors Affecting ctDNA Analysis in Early and Locally-advanced Breast Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of blood collection tube type and processing methods on ctDNA, evaluate the impact of long-term storage of plasma and extracted DNA, and evaluate ctDNA levels at baseline and during treatment for patients with Stage I-III breast cancer. A Study to Evaluate VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS to Treat Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myleoma, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, or T-cell Lymphoma Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus carrying the human NIS and IFN beta genes (VSV-hIFNbeta-sodium iodide symporter [NIS]) in treating patients with multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, or T-cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. A virus, called VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS, which has been changed in a certain way, may be able to kill cancer cells without damaging normal cells. A Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of Intraoperative Microdialysis (tissue sampling) during Neurosurgery for Central Nervous System Malignancies Rochester, Minn. Intraoperative Microdialysis During Neurosurgery for Central Nervous System Malignancies A Study to Compare Stereotactic Radiosurgery to Hippocampal-Avoidant Whole Brain Radiotherapy Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to compare stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in patients with 5 or more brain metastases. 3D Ultrasound for the Imaging of Axillary Lymph Nodes in Patients With Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. The overall goal of this project is to study a new 3D ultrasound imaging technology for evaluation of axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer. International Penile Advanced Cancer Trial (International Rare Cancers Initiative Study) Rochester, Minn. This is an international phase III trial, with a Bayesian design, incorporating two sequential randomisations. It efficiently examines a series of questions that routinely arise in the sequencing of treatment. The study design has evolved from lengthy international consultation that has enabled us to build consensus over which questions arise from current knowledge and practice. It will enable potential randomisation for the majority of patients with inguinal lymph node metastases and will provide data to inform future clinical decisions. InPACT-neoadjuvant patients are stratified by disease burden as assessed by radiological criteria. Treatment options are then defined according to the disease burden strata. Treatment is allocated by randomisation. Patients may be allocated to one of three initial treatments: A. standard surgery (ILND); B. neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by standard surgery (ILND); or C. neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by standard surgery (ILND). After ILND, patients are defined as being at low or high risk of recurrence based on histological interpretation of the ILND specimen. Patients at high risk of relapse are eligible for InPACT-pelvis, where they are randomised to either: P. prophylactic PLND Q. no prophylactic PLND Pagination Clinical studies PrevPrevious Page Go to page 2222 Go to page 2323 Go to page 2424 Go to page 2525 Go to page 2626 NextNext Page Request an appointment Expertise & rankingsResearch May 09, 2023 Share on: FacebookTwitter Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, and Mayo Clinic in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona, have been recognized among the top Cancer hospitals in the nation for 2023-2024 by U.S. News & World Report.

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.
