1. A Study Of Biomarkers To Predict Cancer Therapy-related Cardiotoxicity

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

   The primary purpose of this study is to collect Biospecimens from patients who developed chemotherapy related cardiac toxicity (CRCT) and patients who are at a high risk for developing CRCT identified prior to the onset of therapy.

2. A Study To Evaluate Azacitidine Plus Venetoclax Induction Chemotherapy To Treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients For T-cell Directed Immunotherapy

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate immune profile of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients receiving Venetoclax plus Azacitidine induction chemotherapy.

    

3. Turkey Tail Mushroom For Treating Post-Menopausal Women With HER2-Negative ER-Positive Breast Cancer Undergoing Surgery

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This phase II trial tests how well turkey tail mushroom (TTM) works in treating post-menopausal women with HER2-negative, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer undergoing surgery. TTM is a common mushroom. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used for enhancing function and removing toxins, as well as for cancer, hepatitis, and infections. There is previous evidence of significant tumor shrinkage occurring in the 2-month window between diagnosis and surgery in women who have taken TTM. Giving TTM may be effective in treating post-menopausal women with HER2-negative, ER-positive breast cancer undergoing surgery.

4. (Z)-Endoxifen For The Treatment Of Premenopausal Women With ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer

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

   This open-label research study is studying (Z)-endoxifen as a possible treatment for pre-menopausal women with ER+/HER2- breast cancer. (Z)-endoxifen belongs to a group of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators or "SERM", which help block estrogen from attaching to cancer cells. This study has two parts: a pharmacokinetic part and a treatment part.
   
   The PK part (how the body processes the drug) will enroll about 18 participants. All participants will take (Z)-endoxifen capsules daily. Twelve participants will be randomly assigned (50/50 chance) to take (Z)-endoxifen alone or (Z)-endoxifen with a monthly injection of goserelin a drug that temporarily stops the ovaries from making estrogen. This part will help determine the best dose of (Z)-endoxifen by measuring the drug levels in the blood and how long the body takes to remove it.
   
   The Treatment Cohort has been simplified to a single study arm (Z)-endoxifen + goserelin. Up to 20 participants will be enrolled that have a baseline Ki-67 ≤ 10% and 45 participants will be enrolled that have a baseline Ki-67\>10%.
   
   A key goal of the study is to see if (Z)-endoxifen can slow down or stop tumor growth as measured by a reduction in Ki-67 levels. Tumor tissue samples will be taken by breast biopsy after about 4 weeks of treatment to check levels of this biomarker. If the tumor shows signs of response, participants can continue treatment for up to 24 weeks or until they have surgery.
   
   Study participation is up to 6 months (24 weeks of treatment) followed by surgery and a one-month follow up visit.

5. Biorepository For Acute Leukemia Research

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this IRB protocol is to establish a specimen bank for research into acute leukemias. In particular, we plan to bank blood and bone marrow from patients with newly diagnoses or relapsed acute leukemia (AML or ALL) for future biological studies. By accruing samples both at initial diagnosis and at relapse, we will be able to investigate not only the biology of these marrow disorders, but also the changes that occur to render these disorders resistant to therapy. These activities are a first step toward identifying alternative therapies and subsequently beginning to personalize the therapy for these disorders.

6. A Study To Detect Pancreatic Cancer Using Circulating Tumor Markers

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to select and validate candidate methylated DNA markers (MDMs) (individually and in combined panels) for the detection of pancreative ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The potential complementary value of mutant KRAS and CA19-9 will also be evaluated.

7. Tafasitamab, Lenalidomide and Venetoclax for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine how well tafasitamab, lenalidomide and venetoclax work in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back (after a period of improvement) (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory).  

8. A Study of Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of APG-2575 as well as dose escalation and dose expansion stages.

9. A Study Of ABBV-383 With Relapsed Refractory Waldenström Macroglobulinemia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and RP2D of ABBV-383 monotherapy for patients with RRWM and to determine VGPR or deeper response as the best response achieved with ABBV 383 within 12 cycles  of initiation of therapy for patients with RRWM.

10. GATE1: A Multicenter Phase II Study Of Pirtobrutinib, Rituximab And Venetoclax Combination Therapy For Patients With Previously Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma

    Rochester, Minn.

    Primary Objectives: To estimate the percent of participants who achieve a best response of complete response by the end of the PRV combination therapy in the induction therapy phase in patients with previously untreated MCL.
