Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.572 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Grief Among Older Adult Family Caregivers Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the trajectory of loss and grief over 12 months, the risk factors associated with high levels of pre-loss grief, and the preliminary effectiveness of ART for treatment of high levels of pre-loss grief among family caregivers (FCG) of persons nearing the end of life. A Study to Measure the Proteins Expressed in tissue Samples from Women who have been Treated with New Endocrine Therapy for Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of fulvestrant to anastrozole or tamoxifen in treating invasive lobular breast cancer, by measuring the level of the biomarker Ki67 found in tumor tissue before and then after treatment. A Study of Tucatinib with Trastuzumab and mFOLFOX6 Versus Standard of Care Treatment in First-line HER2+ Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to find out if tucatinib with other cancer drugs works better than standard of care to treat participants with HER2 positive colorectal cancer. This study will also test what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating your disease. Participants in this study have colorectal cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) and/or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable). A Study to Evaluate the Development of Patient Derived Xenografts in Patients With Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. Collection of tissue and blood from patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer. We hope to use these samples to find out why some patients still have cancer after they have completed neoadjuvant anticancer therapy. Minimally Invasive Molecular Approaches for the Diagnosis of Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Rochester, Minn., Mankato, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Jacksonville, Fla., Eau Claire, Wis., Austin, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This study will evaluate if the sponge capsule device can accurately detect the presence of Barrett's Esophagus and prevalent dysplasia/adenocarcinoma detection, in a screening population, with and without chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease. Claudin18.2 CAR-T (CT041) in Patients With Gastric, Pancreatic Cancer, or Other Specified Digestive Cancers Rochester, Minn. A Phase 1b/2, open label, multi-center, clinical study of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (CAR-T) targeting claudin18.2 in patients with advanced gastric, pancreatic or other specified digestive system cancers. A Study Using Targeted Inhibitors to Treat Specific Tumor Mutations in Patients with Meningiomas Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. This phase II trial studies how well vismodegib and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor GSK2256098 work in treating patients with meningiomas that may have gotten bigger or grew back after treatment. Vismodegib and FAK inhibitor GSK2256098 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Ventricular Remodeling and Myocardial Deformation in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy for Sarcomas Rochester, Minn. The aim of this study is to determine if there is subclinical systolic or diastolic myocardial mechanical dysfunction by 2D and 3D speckle tracking echocardiography derived strain and strain rate in this patient population at baseline, during and after chemotherapy. This could be an early marker of myocardial dysfunction in patients treated for sarcoma. A Study to Assess Clonal Diversity of Freshly Taken ESD Specimens Rochester, Minn. Inclusion Criteria: Patients with Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) or Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC) that are planned for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) treatment. Exclusion Criteria: Patients without BE or EAC or that are not planned for ESD treatment. A Study to Test Nivolumab with Usual Chemotherapy Treatment or Usual Chemotherapy Treatment Alone to Treat Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Cancer Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of adding nivolumab to the usual chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin with gemcitabine) versus the usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back (recurrent) or spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and gemcitabine, 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. Giving nivolumab with the usual chemotherapy may work better than the usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with nasopharyngeal cancer.

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.
