1. Axicabtagene Ciloleucel versus Standard of Care Therapy as First-Line Therapy in High-Risk Large B-Cell Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn., Mankato, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Albert Lea, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of axicabtagene ciloleucel versus standard of care therapy (SOCT), as measured by eventfree survival (EFS). Additionally, to compare the effectiveness of axicabtagene ciloleucel versus SOCT, as measured by progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

2. Impact of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy on the Peripheral Blood Immune Phenotype in Operable Breast Cancer, the ENHANCE Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to evaluate whether pre-NAC peripheral blood immune phenotypes (defined by mass cytometry) are associated with pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with operable breast cancer, and to evaluate whether the baseline peripheral blood immune phenotype differs between patients with breast cancer and age-matched healthy controls.

3. 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.

4. A Study of Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate (Lutathera®) in Patients with Inoperable, Progressive Meningioma after External Beam Radiation Therapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to estimate the efficacy of LUTATHERA treatment in patients with recurrent grade 1 meningioma as measured by 6-month PFS rate, and to estimate the efficacy of LUTATHERA treatment in patients with recurrent grade 2 or 3 meningioma as measured by 6-month PFS rate.

    

5. Group Curriculum for Improving Survivorship Outcomes in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to develop the curriculum and assess its feasibility and impact on equipping young adults to better manage these aspects of survivorship: follow up medical care, work/school life, relationships and coping with the emotional impact of cancer survivorship. 

    

    

6. A Study to Develop a Biorepository of Blood Samples from Cancer Patients Participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) Protocol

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a biorepository of blood samples  from cancer patients participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) protocol. These samples will be used for future biomarker discovery and other translational studies. 

7. The Impact of a Geriatric Assessment in Elderly Patients with Multiple Myeloma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between a baseline comprehensive geriatric assessment (cGA) and chemotherapy toxicity in the first 4 months of treatment measured by treatment-related adverse events, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and treatment discontinuation in older patients (≥ 65 years) with multiple myeloma (MM).

   Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer that affects a type of white cell called plasma cell. It mainly affects older individuals and has an average age at diagnosis of 69 years. 

8. PRGN-3006 Adoptive Cellular Therapy for CD33-Positive Relapsed or Refractory AML, MRD Positive AML or Higher Risk MDS

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and best dose of PRGN-3006 T Cells to treat relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome.

9. Perfusion MRI for Therapy Response Assessment in Brain Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to improve patient care by optimizing and measuring magnetic resonance imaging methods for the early detection of brain cancer response to therapy.

10. 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.
