Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.395 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Evaluate the Incidence and Psychological Impact of Vaginal Cuff Dehiscence After Different Types of Hysterectomy Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of cuff dehiscence in patients who have undergone total robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy vs. total vaginal hysterectomy, to identify risk factors for cuff dehiscence, and to study the impact of cuff dehiscence on a patient’s psychological well-being. A Study of the Ability to Predict Lymphedema Development Following Axillary Surgery for Breast Cancer and Its Effects on Patient Survivorship Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to better understand the anatomy of the lymphatic structure and the molecular process that leads to the over production of lymph fluid. This proposal will begin intense lymphedema screening and identify baseline characteristics potentially predisposing someone to lymphedema, and identify molecular markers that might be altered to prevent lymphedema. A Study to Evaluate Encorafenib Plus Cetuximab with/without Chemotherapy to Treat Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether encorafenib plus cetuximab (EC), alone or in combination with chemotherapy, can improve clinical outcomes relative to current standard of care chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). A Study of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Biomarker Monitoring Progression and Treatment Response of Locally-advanced Unresectable and Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Therapies Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to determine if LIF (Leukemia Inhibitory Factor) level is positively correlated with disease progression and CA19-9 level in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients and is a reliable biomarker of response. A Study to Collect Clinical Data, Blood Samples, and Tissue Specimens from Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purposes of this study are (i) to obtain and study biospecimens from patients with breast cancer that has either spread out of the breast or recurred after initial treatment(s), such as surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation, and (ii) to collect information about patients, treatments, and the behavior of the underlying cancer. Research involving biospecimens that are linked to related medical information is one way to learn more about diseases. In this case, we seek to understand the mechanism of tumor spread and determine why people respond differently to specific cancer treatments. In general terms, scientists will study the cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins found in the tumor tissue and/or the blood to understand more about cancer and the body’s response to cancer and related treatments. A Study to Evaluate the Accuracy of the CapsoCam® Colon (CV-3) in Detecting Colonic Polyps Compared to Colonoscopy Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CapsoCam® Colon (CV-3) endoscope system for the detection of colonic polyps. It is anticipated that the data from this clinical trial will be used to support marketing authorizations to commercialize the CapsoCam® Colon (CV-3). Benevolent Tumor Tissue Repository Fighting for the Legacy of our Young Rochester, Minn. The aim of this study is to create a patient and patient-advocate catalyzed tumor bank for the retrieval, processing, analysis, and maintenance of pre-treatment, post-treatment and (when available) post-mortem soft tissue sarcoma (STS) tissue and tissue data with an emphasis on STSs occurring in younger patients (YP-STS). This resource-platform will be named Project BTTRFLY (Benevolent Tumor Tissue Repository Fighting for the Legacy of our Young). A Study to Evaluate Screening Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammogram (CEDM) in Study Participants at Intermediate Breast Cancer Risk and Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) Results Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a low-cost Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammogram (CEDM) protocol as a supplemental screening method to standard mammographic screening in women at intermediate lifetime-risk (and not undergoing annual MR surveillance) for breast cancer. Olaparib, Cediranib Maleate, and Standard Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Small Cell Lung Cancer Jacksonville, Fla. This randomized phase II trial studies how well olaparib, cediranib maleate, and standard chemotherapy work in treating patients with small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, cisplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Olaparib and cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Olaparib, cediranib maleate, and standard chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with small cell lung cancer. A Study to Evaluate the da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System in Nipple Sparing Mastectomy (NSM) Procedures Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the da Vinci Surgical Systems in Nipple Sparing Mastectomy procedures.

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.
