Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Genomic and Proteomic Analyses of Aggressive Tumors

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

   The purpose of this study is to use genomic and proteomic analyses to identify possible diagnostic markers and potential drugs for diagnosing and treating aggressive tumor types or neoplastic processes. Genomic analyses mean looking at the genome, or all the DNA in a cell (DNA is a material in your body that is a genetic map or code that provides instructions that make up your genes). Proteomic analyses mean looking at the proteome, or all the proteins expressed, or made, by DNA at a specific moment in time

2. In-home Versus In-Clinic Subcutaneous Nivolumab Administration through Connected and Remote Cancer CARE Beyond Walls

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the location of SQ Nivo administration, at the infusion center or in the home, on patient preference and acceptability, safety, patient reported outcomes (PROs), and clinical outcomes.

3. Long-term Follow Up of Patients Previously Enrolled in MC1137 (BEAUTY)

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

   The purpose of this study is to extend the follow up on the BEAUTY study (MC1137) cohort and collect additional blood samples to evaluate for minimal residual disease and tissue at the time of any breast cancer recurrence.

4. Cell Saver During Tumor Resection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The aims of this study are to investigate the presence of tumor cells after filtration of autologous blood products by intraoperative cell saver, and to demonstrate the feasibility of intraoperative blood salvage during intralesional tumor resection.

   Intraoperative blood salvage is a relatively safe and cost-effective alternative to allogeneic blood transfusion during procedures with large volume blood loss. Salvaged blood products are washed and filtered before reinfusion into the patient. Given the theoretical risk of systemically re-infusing samples contaminated with tumor cells, many surgeons refrain from using intraoperative blood salvage. Aside from a few small studies, there is a paucity of data on the ability of leukocyte reduction filters to remove tumor cells from salvaged blood products. Additionally, no studies to date have investigated this during intralesional tumor resections.

    

5. A Study of DNA/RNA Sequencing Results on the Clinical Management of Patients with Advanced Malignancies

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

   The purpose of this study is to assess practice patterns and changes in treatment recommendations based on the results obtained from a clinically available, comprehensive next generation DNA/RNA sequencing assay. A database of paired clinical and sequencing data will also be established for future research.

6. Gynecologic Extramammary Paget's Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   In addition to evaluating treatment outcomes, tissue samples and swabs will be collected as part of this study to allow physicians to better understand Extramammary Paget's Disease (EMPD). The researchers also want to learn more about the microorganisms (microbiome) that live on or near the areas of skin affected by EMPD, in order to better understand this condition.

7. The Pediatric Acute Leukemia (PedAL) Screening Trial - A Study to Test Bone Marrow and Blood in Children With Leukemia That Has Come Back After Treatment or Is Difficult to Treat - A Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Children's Oncology Group Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen for patient eligibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials.  

8. Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) vs Standard Therapy in Participants With Microsatellite Instability-High (MSI-H) or Mismatch Repair Deficient (dMMR) Stage IV Colorectal Carcinoma (MK-3475-177/KEYNOTE-177)

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   In this study, participants with MSI-H or dMMR advanced colorectal carcinoma will be randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab or the Investigator's choice of 1 of 6 standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of advanced colorectal carcinoma. The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab will prolong progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) compared to current SOC chemotherapy.

9. A Study to Evaluate Yttrium-90 Therapy for Radiation Lobectomy

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The Patient Group 1 primary objective is to measure the distribution of 90Y glass microspheres throughout the tumor and non-tumor hepatic parenchyma, as assessed by same day postradioembolization study-specific non-FDG PET/CT scan. Correlate this measurement with mean lobar absorbed radiation dose and embolic load given to patients and time taken to achieve adequate Future Liver Remnant (> 40% of total liver volume) to determine if there is an optimal lobar dose and embolic load.

   The Patient Group 2 primary objectives are to assess the association of circulating and imaging biomarkers on Future Liver Remnant hypertrophy, and to assess progression-free survival between patients with HCC who underwent resection following Y-90 radioembolization with optimal dose and those who presented with an adequate Future Liver Remnant for resection (i.e., who were not treated pre-surgically).

10. KTX-100 MMSET Catalytic Inhibitor that Suppresses H3K36me2 in Patients with Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

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

    The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and schedule and/or a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule of KTX-1001 for patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.
