1. A Study to Evaluate Exemestane in Post-Menopausal Women with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

   Albert Lea, Minn., Mankato, Minn.

   This study is being conducted to see if adding Exemestane to the immune checkpoint blockade can slow disease progression in post-menopausal women with non-small cell lung cancer.

2. Cardio-Oncology Clinic Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to establish a retrospective and prospective clinical registry of patients seen in the cardio-oncology clinic to characterize trends in the composition and outcomes of the population seen in the clinic, as well as initial clinical analyses on cardiovascular toxicities.

3. A Study to Determine the Effects of Activity by Ambulation in Hospital Premises versus Strict Protective Isolation on Quality of Life in Severely Neutropenic Cancer Patients during Hospitalization

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if allowing patients to ambulate in the hallways outside of their hospital room by relaxing the policy of strict protective isolation in neutropenic patients improves the quality of life, and if this increases the risk of infection among these patients during hospitalization.

4. Phase I Trial of Sargramostim and Nivolumab for Metastatic Melanoma to the Lung

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase I trial is looking to see if sargramostim given with a nebulizer, in combination with standard immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy with nivolumab can help control melanoma that has metastasized to the lungs.

5. A Study of APG-2575 Alone or in Combination with Other Therapeutic Agents to Treat Relapsed and/or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability, identify dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of APG-2575.

6. A Study to Evaluate Immunotherapy and Ovarian Function Among Pre-menopausal Melanoma Survivors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to analyze the ovarian function of female premenopausal melanoma survivors who have undergone immunotherapy, and compare with data from age-matched controls, prospectively investigate ovarian function in premenopausal women with melanoma undergoing immunotherapy, and to identify the impact of ovarian function change on the frequency and function of CD8+ T cells during immunotherapy.

7. Feasibility of a Point of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Intervention for Newly Diagnosed Black Men

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objective of this pilot stdy is to plan, develop and establish the acceptance and usability of a Point of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis (PPCD) iCCaRE Virtual Robot Assistant (ViRA).

   The specific aims of this study are to plan and develop a PPCD iCCaRE ViRA model that will provide social determinants of health (SDOH) navigation services, psycho-oncology support and emotional support using qualitative formative research, and to establish the acceptance and usability of the iCCaRE ViRA at a urology clinic among 50 Black men (BM).

8. Understanding the Relationship Between Benign Breast Tissue, Benign Breast Disease, and Breast Cancer Development

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to culture human mammary cells to identify cellular characteristics associated with lobular involution status. 

9. SX-682 Treatment in Subjects With Metastatic Melanoma Concurrently Treated With Pembrolizumab

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety profile of SX-682 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with metastatic melanoma, including the maximum dose that can be administered until adverse effects prevent further dose increases (i.e., the MTD or recommended phase 2 dose), and the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).

   The secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of SX-682 in combination with pembrolizumab on the basis of the objective response rate, the duration of response, and the rate of progression, and to characterize the single-dose and multidose pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of SX-682.

10. A Global Study to Assess the Effects of MEDI4736, Given as Monotherapy or in Combination With Tremelimumab Determined by PD-L1 Expression Versus Standard of Care in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    This study is a Phase III, randomised, open label, multi-centre study assessing the efficacy and safety of MEDI4736 versus Standard of Care in NSCLC patients with PD-L1 positive tumours and the combination of MEDI4736 plus tremelimumab (MEDI4736+treme) versus Standard of Care in NSCLC patients with PD-L1-negative tumours in the treatment of male and female patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (Stage IIIB-IV), who have received at least 2 prior systemic treatment regimens including 1 platinum-based chemotherapy regimen for NSCLC. Patients with known EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) tyrosine kinase (TK) activating mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements are not eligible for the study (prospective testing is not planned within this study). The Standard of Care options are: an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (erlotinib [TARCEVA®]), gemcitabine or vinorelbine (NAVELBINE®).
