1. A Study To Evaluate Immune-related Biomarkers For Pathological Response In Stage II-III HER2-positive Breast Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine vs. placebo in combination with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (TTT-DM1) in patients with stage II-III HER2+ breast cancer with residual disease post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and to evaluate the safety of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine given concurrently with T-DM1 maintenance therapy.

2. A Study Evaluating The Safety, Efficacy, And Pharmacokinetics Of Mosunetuzumab And A Combined Regimen Of Mosunetuzumab And Venetoclax In Participants With Relapsed Or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmaokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of mosunetuzumab (Lunsumio) monotherapy in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This study will also allow participants who are currently progressing on a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) and requiring salvage therapy as assessed by the treating physician to continue their BTKi throughout the screening period and for the first two cycles of mosunetuzumab. An additional arm (open to non-US participants only) has been added to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of mosunetuzumab in combination with venetoclax, a B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) inhibitor.

3. Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) In Combination With Pembrolizumab Versus Pembrolizumab Alone In Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) ≥ 50% (MK-2870-007)

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

   The primary objective of the study is to compare sacituzumab tirumotecan combined with pembrolizumab to pembrolizumab alone with respect to overall survival (OS). The primary hypothesis is that the combination of sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab is superior to pembrolizumab alone with respect to OS. All participants who have completed the first course of pembrolizumab may be eligible for up to an additional 9 cycles of pembrolizumab monotherapy if there is blinded independent central review (BICR)-verified progressive disease by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) after initial treatment.

4. International Registry For Men With Advanced Prostate Cancer (IRONMAN)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this registry is to collect detailed clinical, epidemiological and biological information from 5,000 male patients with advanced prostate cancer.

   The objectives are to describe the practice patterns of therapeutic agents for treatment of advanced prostate cancer internationally; to assess whether specific treatment patterns are associated with clinically significant adverse events, and evaluate potential interactions with concomitant medications or demographic factors; to identify associations between treatment sequences or combinations and overall survival; to define the patient experience of men with advanced prostate cancer and identify unmet needs in their treatment; and to identify clinical and molecular disease subtypes that predict response to individual treatments, combinations, or sequences.

5. Testing The Use Of Chemotherapy After Surgery For High-Risk Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery in treating patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and 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 capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery could prevent or delay the return of cancer in patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

6. Serum Derived From Patient Donors With Paraneoplastic Pemphigus (PNP) to Be Used as a Positive Control for PNP Test

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to obtain serum from patients with certain rare immunobullous diseases (e.g., paraneoplastic pemphigus, laminin-332 pemphigoid) to replenish a source of positive control for our clinical testing (e.g., Mayo test codes PNPAB, RSBV).  

   • To verify the performance characteristics of anti-Paraneoplastic Pemphigus (PNP) serum and validate its use as a positive control in PNP test.  

   • Serum from patients with PNP will be used for a positive control for the PNP test upon successful validation. 

   Background:  

   For various rare immunobullous diseases, detection of a circulating autoantibody is necessary for accurate diagnosis. As a CLIA requirement, every clinical test run requires positive and negative controls for quality control.  Currently, we use either archived sera or commercially available sera from patients with known relevant immunobullous diseases as a structural integrity positive control of rat bladder or transfected cells, which are the substrates for these indirect immunofluorescence tests.  

   While we have no difficulty locating negative control sera, it is challenging to source positive control sera, due to the rarity of these diseases. Specifically, commercial positive control serum is no longer available for purchase and only limited archived material is available. 

7. A Study Of CA-4948 In Patients With Relapsed Or Refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma

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

   This is a multi-center, open-label trial of orally administered CA-4948 monotherapy in adult patients with Relapsed or Refractory NHL. The trial will be conducted in 2 parts: an initial Dose Escalation Phase (Part A) of CA-4948 in patients with Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, (RR NHL) and a Dose Expansion Phase (Part B) of CA-4948 in patients with RR NHL with and without myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MYD88) mutations. During Part B, patients will be enrolled regardless of MYD88 mutation status.

8. Expanded Access Study For The Treatment Of Patients With Commercially Out-of-Specification Axicabtagene Ciloleucel

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this study is to provide access to axicabtagene ciloleucel for patients diagnosed with a disease approved for treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel, that is otherwise out of specification for commercial release.

9. Bladder Bank (A Prospective Banking Study)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to establish samples (blood and urine) to support the development of non-invasive tests for early detection of bladder cancer 

10. A Study Of The Drugs Selumetinib Vs. Carboplatin And Vincristine In Patients With Low-Grade Glioma

    Rochester, Minn.

    This study aims to demonstrate that the efficacy of treatment with selumetinib as measured by event-free survival (EFS) is non-inferior compared to treatment with carboplatin/vincristine (CV) in previously-untreated low-grade glioma (LGG) not associated with BRAFV600E mutations or systemic neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
