Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers For Brain Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to help generate a repository of Cerebrospinal  Fluid (CSF) samples relevant to neuro-oncology research that may facilitate the identification of biomarkers that are predictive of disease burden, therapeutic susceptibility or response to therapy. This protocol will also provide a vehicle for CSF access for patients or providers wishing to generate or evaluate individualized biomarkers as part of other research or individualized therapy protocols.

2. A Study Of The Possible Use Of A New Imaging Method With Glioma Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to see if Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) a recently developed imaging technique can be used to characterize and help stage glioma tumors and evaluate response to therapy.

3. A Phase 1/​2 Study Of STP938 For Adult Subjects With Relapsed/​Refractory B-Cell And T-Cell Lymphomas

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of STP938 as a single agent in adult subjects with R/R B-cell and T-cell lymphomas.

4. Cutaneous Tissue Using Ex Vivo Fluorescence Confocal Microscopy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study, as a proof-of-concept, is to investigate whether ex vivo fluorescence microscopy can provide adequate visualization of cutaneous tissue for determination of non-melanoma skin cancer tumor presence in a sample of up to 250 residual skin specimens.

5. Undiagnosed Tumor/Undifferentiated Mass Registry

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

   The purpose of this study is to create a research registry to prospectively collect research biospecimens and corresponding clinical data from subjects with an undiagnosed tumor or undifferentiated mass.

6. Study Of Gastric Cancer And Limited Peritoneal Metastasis Using Robotic Cytoreduction And Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess short-term morbidity and disease-free survival outcomes for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis and/or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing robotic cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

7. Thoracotomy Versus Thoracoscopic Management Of Pulmonary Metastases In Patients With Osteosarcoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if open surgical resection is superior to thoracoscopic resection for thoracic event-free survival (tEFS) in patients with resectable oligometastatic pulmonary osteosarcoma.

   Furthermore, to determine if open surgical resection is superior to thoracoscopy for event free survival (EFS), for overall survival (OS), and if thoracoscopy is superior to open surgical resection for postoperative pain interference in patients with resectable oligometastatic pulmonary osteosarcoma.

8. Highly Selective CDK7 Inhibitor Q901 In Selected Advanced Solid Tumors

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

   The purpose of part one of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and safety profile of Q901 monotherapy when administered via intravenous (IV) infusion once-weekly (QW) for 4 weeks and once every 2 weeks (Q2W) thereafter. Also, to establish for future clinical development the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Q901 monotherapy when administered via IV infusion QW for 4 weeks and Q2W thereafter. 

   The purpose of part two of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability and evidence of anticancer activity of Q901 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. In Part 2 Cohort 1, an expansion phase at the established RP2D will be undertaken in participants with selected advanced solid tumors. In Part 2 Cohort 2, a safety run in and expansion phase will be undertaken with Q901 at the RP2D administered in combination with pembrolizumab (400 mg Q6W) in participants with advanced solid tumors.

9. Low-grade UTUC Treated With Nadofaragene Firadenovec Administered To Renal Pelvis

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

   The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety \& tolerability of Nadofaragene Firadenovec in subjects with LG-UTUC. To help with this evaluation, a safety lead-in period will be conducted for the first 6 subjects. Complete response is at 3 or 6 months defined as absence of any UTUC in the renal pelvis.

10. Testing Whether High Dose Chemotherapy And Infusion Of The Patients' Own Stem Cells Improves Survival In Patients With Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma Who Achieved A Complete Response At The End Of The Initial Chemotherapy

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

    This phase III trial compares the effect of high dose chemotherapy and the patients' own (autologous) stem cells to observation only in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma who achieved a complete response after initial chemotherapy. Usual treatment after a complete response may include observation or high dose chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant, however, it is not known if a transplant if beneficial. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. Stem cells removed prior to treatment are then returned to the patient to replace the blood forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Giving high dose chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant may be more effective compared to observation only in treating patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma who have achieved a complete response after initial chemotherapy.
