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

1. TRPC6 to Predict and Prevent Chemotherapy Related Cardiomyopathy and Heart Failure (Prospective Study)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize TRPC6 risk variants for doxorubicin-related cardiotoxicity in prospectively collected samples from breast cancer patients.   

   Breast cancer patients are more than three times at risk for developing congestive heart failure (CHF), compared with patients who did not have cancer. The increased risk of HF is observed as early as one year from diagnosis of cancer and overall, 7% of patients develop CHF (median follow-up 8.5 years) 

2. Safety and Efficacy Study of MLN0128 in Combination With Exemestane or Fulvestrant in Postmenopausal Women With ER/PR+ Metastatic Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a phase 1b/2 study of the safety and efficacy of MLN0128 in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant therapy in women with estrogen receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (ER+/HER2-) advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has progressed on treatment with everolimus in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant.

3. A Bio-bank for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Associated Neoplasia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect blood and stool samples to validate and improve the performance of stool and blood DNA markers for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal neoplasia critical to the long-term goal of improving effectiveness of neoplasia detection in patients using non-invasive biomarkers to assist colonoscopy and radiographic screening. 

4. Imaging of Prostatic Anatomy in Patients with Known Prostate Cancer and Those at High-Risk using Magnetic Resonance Elastography

   Rochester, Minn.

   Many of the current imaging tests we have for prostate cancer are problematic in their ability to distinguish cancerous from non-cancerous prostate tissue. This study is being performed to develop better imaging techniques to better identify and characterize prostate cancer.

5. Defining the Immunologic Profile of Sentinel Lymph Nodes and Identifying the Mechanisms Responsible for Immunosuppression

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to look at the effects cancer and melanoma have on the immune cells found in lymph nodes.

6. A Study to Evaluate TAB006, as Monotherapy and in Combination with Toripalimab, in Patients with Previously Treated, Advanced Malignancies

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

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of TAB006 as monotherapy and in combination with toripalimab to treat advanced malignancies.

7. Cancer Distress Management Program for Liver and Biliary Cancer within a SPORE

   Rochester, Minn.

   The aim of this study is to develop a feasible, acceptable, and sustainable comprehensive cancer distress management program that is tailored to the unique needs of cancer patient survivors.

    

8. Circulating Tumor DNA (cTDNA) Based in NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) Assays for Oncology Patients With Solid Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to design, develop and assess the performance characteristics of NGS assays using circulating tumor DNA for the detection of mutations associated solid tumors.

   The performance characteristics of these assays for detecting ctDNA mutation in oncology patients will be assessed by comparing the mutation results obtained from these assays to those obtained by orthogonal methods, including tissue-based assays and results from a ctDNA assay by Guardant on blood.

9. A Study of AG-946 in Participants With Anemia Due to Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (LR-MDS)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of phase 2a is to establish proof-of-concept (POC) for AG-946 in participants with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS) and to evaluate the safety, effect, and pharmacokineticsof AG-946 on additional measures of anemia. Additionally to evaluate the effect of AG-946 on transfusion burden (participants with LTB only) and the effect of AG-946 on pharmacodynamic biomarkers.

   The purpose of phase 2b is to compare the effect of AG-946 versus placebo and to detect a doseresponse for erythroid response in participants with LR-MD

10. A Study to Evaluate EAA181 to Treat Newly-diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

    Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis.

    The primary purpose of this study is to determine if bortezomib, daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Btz-DRd) consolidation followed by daratumumab and lenalidomide (DR) maintenance after standard induction therapy with daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DRd) results in superior overall survival compared to DRd consolidation followed by DR maintenance, in MRD positive patients.
