1. 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.

2. Etiology, Prevention And Therapy Navigation Of Cancer

   La Crosse, Wis., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Eau Claire, Wis., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the integration of cancer pan-genetic testing into a cancer clinical practice and understand both its use and effect in “real world” practice conditions.

3. Alternate Doses And Dosing Schedules Of Belantamab Mafodotin For The Treatment Of Triple-Class Recurrent And/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the 24-week grade 3/4 keratopathy-free rate of an alternative dose/dosing schedule for belantamab mafodotin in patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM).

    

4. A Study Evaluating The Safety And Effectiveness Of JCAR017 To Treat Relapsed/Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of JCAR017 in adult subjects with relapsed or refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL). The study will include a Phase 1 part to determine the recommended dose of JCAR017 monotherapy in subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL, followed by a Phase 2 part to further assess the effectiveness and safety of JCAR017 monotherapy treatment at the recommended dose. A separate Phase 1 cohort will assess the combination of JCAR017 and concurrent ibrutinib. In all subjects, the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of JCAR017 will be evaluated.

5. Human Saliva As A Non-Invasive Tool For Cancer Diagnostics Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

   Eau Claire, Wis.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a rapid, reliable, inexpensive, and non-invasive method for cancer detection and screening. To use Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), a powerful analytical technique that provides detailed and specific information at a molecular level, to detect cancer biomarkers in a patient’s saliva.  

6. Combination Therapy Of Acalabrutinib, Venetoclax And Durvalumab To Treat Richter Transformation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if the drug combination of acalabrutinib, durvalumab, and venetoclax will work to treat Richter’s transformation, and what doses of these drugs are safe for people to take. We also want to learn about the side effects of this combination. All study subjects will receive acalabrutinib, durvalumab, and venetoclax. Acalabrutinib is FDA approved for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma. Durvalumab is FDA approved for treatment in lung cancers including  non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. Venetoclax is FDA approved for the treatment of CLL and SLL. The drug combination of acalabrutinib, durvalumab, and venetoclax is experimental and isn’t approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, the FDA has allowed the use of this drug in this research study.

7. Database of All Patients with Peritoneal Surface Malignancies Treated at Mayo Clinic

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to:

   1. Establish a prospective database of all patients with peritoneal surface malignancies seen by Dr. Travis Grotz at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester.
   2. Design and implement quality improvement projects utilizing this database
   3. Design and implement outcomes research using this prospective database
   4. Design and implement quality of life studies using this prospective database

8. A Study to Establish a Living Breast Organoid Biobank for Translational Research

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

   Researchers at Mayo Clinic are developing a Biobank of adult stem cell-rich breast organoids, a new research resource to facilitate normal and cancer stem cell research. Subjects in the Biobank will provide samples of excess breast tissue, complete a health questionnaire, and allow access to medical records now and in the future. The Biobank serves as a library for researchers; instead of having to look for volunteers for each new project, researchers can use samples from the Biobank as well as share information already collected.

9. A Study To Explore If It Is Possible To Successfully Obtain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Imaging And Data While Patients Undergo Brain Surgery

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of successfully obtaining intra-operative OCT imaging and data during standard brain surgery.

10. A First-in-human Trial of GEN3017 in Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

    Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and anti-tumor activity of GEN3017 as a monotherapy in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) CD30-expressing lymphomas.  GEN3017 will be administered via subcutaneous injections.  All participants will receive active drug; no one will be given placebo.
