A Study to Compare Treatment With the Drug Selumetinib Alone Versus Selumetinib and Vinblastine in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Low-Grade Glioma Rochester, Minn. The primary objectives of this study are to determine the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of selumetinib + vinblastine for children with progressive or recurrent LGGs, and to determine if selumetinib + vinblastine will lead to improved event-free survival (EFS) outcome compared with selumetinib alone for children with progressive or recurrent LGGs. 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. A Study to Detect Prostate Cancer Extraprostatic Extension with Slip Interface Imaging Determined Tumor Slip Length Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the perfomance a MR-based imaging technology (named Slip Interface Imaging) in predicting extraprostatic extension in prostate cancers. 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. Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Insomnia Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the frequency of insomnia in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Optical Fusion Trans-Perineal Grid Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and assess a new perineal access tool to enable image guided prostate interventions by Clear Guide Medical in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic. Financial Difficulty in Patients With Blood Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to analyze the financial difficulties experienced by patients undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It is composed of a patient survey (n=250), a physician survey (n=100), and a practice survey completed by each site enrolling patients onto this study. A subset of enrolled patients (n=35) will be invited to participate in an optional second telephone interview (Appendix D). This study will measure the prevalence of patient-reported financial difficulty, specific financial burdens and resources currently available to patients and from practices to assist with patient financial navigation. Undiagnosed Tumor/Undifferentiated Mass Registry Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. 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. A Study to Evaluate Maximizing Anti-PD-1 Therapy By Monitoring T Cell Responses In Melanoma, Lung and Other Cancer Types Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to monitor T cell responses from patients with advanced cancer who are being treated with an anti-PD (programmed death)-1 monoclonal antibody, and compare them with clinical outcomes. 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.

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.
