Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.381 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Evaluate Abemaciclib for Surgically Resectable, Chemotherapy-Resistant, Triple Negative Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of abemaciclib on the CD8/FOXP3 ratio in chemotherapy-resistant triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A Study to Evaluate the Role of Gut Microbiome in Cancer Therapy Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to correlate gut microbiome with specific cancer diagnoses and the clinical response (effectiveness), and adverse effects of cancer therapy (single or multiple) and stem cell transplant. Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AMSCs) For Recurrent Glioblastoma Jacksonville, Fla. This study aims to evaluate the safety of local delivery of AMSCs for recurrent GBM by noting the incidence of adverse events, as well as radiological and clinical progression. To assess the preliminary efficacy of local delivery of AMSCs for recurrent GBM by comparing the clinical, survival, progression, and radiographic outcomes from patients enrolled in our study to historical controls from our institution. Avelumab With Binimetinib, Sacituzumab Govitecan, or Liposomal Doxorubicin in Treating Patients With Stage IV or Unresectable, Recurrent Triple Negative Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well the combination of avelumab with liposomal doxorubicin with or without binimetinib, or the combination of avelumab with sacituzumab govitecan works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that is stage IV or is not able to be removed by surgery (unresectable) and has come back (recurrent). Eliminating Breast Cancer Surgery in Exceptional Responders with Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy Rochester, Minn. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how often breast cancer recurs (returns after treatment) in the breast in patients who have been treated with chemotherapy and have had follow-up radiation therapy (but not surgery) and are in complete remission (no evidence of disease). This is an investigational study. Radiation therapy is delivered using FDA-approved and commercially available methods. The study doctor can explain how radiation therapy is designed to work. About 120 participants will be enrolled on this multicenter study. Up to 90 may take part at MD Anderson. The NeoGlioma Study Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This study aims to evaluate the safety of preoperative radiosurgery in the treatment of patients with biopsy-proven high grade glioma prior to conventional therapy. Safety is defined as any acute grade 3 (CTCAE v5.0) or greater unplanned adverse event from the time of enrollment until 4 weeks following postoperative radiotherapy. A Study to Create a Registry for Patients at High-Risk for Pancreatic Cancer Rochester, Minn. This study aims to facilitate discovery and validation of tests for early detection in subjects at high risk for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). and to facilitate the use of state-of-the-art machine learning-based algorithms that utilize databases and images with the purpose of identifying early stages of pancreatic cancer, as well as people at high-risk.The study also aims to provide a platform for development of an interventional protocol for early detection of PDAC. 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. 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. A Study to Evaluate Thymoma Recurrence Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate thymoma recurrence rates in patients who underwent thymectomy.

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.
