1. Tumor Treating Fields For The Treatment Of Leptomeningeal Metastases Of The Spine In Patients With Breast Or Lung Cancer

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This clinical trial evaluates the safety and feasibility of tumor treating fields (TTF) in the treatment of spinal leptomeningeal disease in patients with breast or lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Patients wear the portable Novo TTF-200T device that produces electric fields to target areas on the body to stop the growth of tumor cells. The information from this study will help researchers develop a better treatment for leptomeningeal metastases in the future.

2. 3D Ultrasound Imaging For Breast Cancer Diagnosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveess of a new 3D ultrasound imaging technology combining B-mode, microvessel imaging, shear wave elastography, and machine learning for breast lesion diagnosis.

3. A Study for Cerebral Open Flow Microperfusion

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of intra-operative microperfusion during a planned neurosurgical resection of diseased brain parenchyma, including either an epileptic focus requiring temporal lobectomy or a glioma. Devices used for microperfusion are Joanneum Research’s cerebral open flow microperfusion (OFM) catheters, push and pull tubing, and MPP102-II pump.

4. A Study Of Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) And Hematological Toxicity After Cancer Treatment

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

   The overall objective of this project is to combine robust clinical data (e.g. prior chemotherapy or radiation exposure, cumulative radiotheranostic dose) with geneticclonal abnormalities (blood-based CHIP panel) in studying the predisposing risk factors for developing hematological toxicity including t-MN in radiotheranostic treated solid tumor patients.

5. Upifitamab Rilsodotin Maintenance in Platinum-Sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer (UP-NEXT)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   UP-NEXT is a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled study of the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) XMT-1536 (upifitamab rilsodotin) administered as an intravenous infusion for patients once every four weeks. Patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer expressing high levels of NaPi2b.

6. Melanoma In-transit Tissue Bank And Molecular Analysis For Personalized Therapies

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to establish a tissue bank to collect patient tissue for genomic analysis, allowing identification of genomic signatures that predict response and failure to the individual therapy.  Once this is complete treatment will be directed based on the genomic signature of patients individual tumor.

    

    

7. Evaluating Intestinal Microbiome And Immune Function In Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to examine the microbiome and immune function in patients with active lymphoma, and in patients with a history of lymphoma who are in clinical remission.

8. Epcoritamab Compared To Observation For Treating B-cell Lymphoma Patients Not In Complete Remission After CD19-directed CAR-T Therapy

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare epcoritamab to standard practice (observation) for the treatment of patients with B-cell lymphomas who are not in complete remission after treatment with CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. 

9. Oncolytic Adenovirus Coding For TNFa And IL2 (TILT-123) With Pembrolizumab Or Pembrolizumab And Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin As Treatment For Ovarian Cancer. (PROTA)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety [including dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)] of the combination therapy of TILT-123 and pembrolizumab in patients with platinum resistant or refractory ovarian cancer.

10. Testing The Addition Of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) To Chemotherapy Before Surgery For Patients With High-Grade Upper Urinary Tract Cancer

    Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine 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. Durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared to chemotherapy alone.
