1. Epcoritamab Compared To Observation For Treating B-cell Lymphoma Patients Not In Complete Remission After CD19-directed CAR-T Therapy

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare epcoritamab to standard practice (observation) for the treatment of patients with B-cell lymphomas who are not in complete remission after treatment with CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. 

2. Testing The Addition Of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) To Chemotherapy Before Surgery For Patients With High-Grade Upper Urinary Tract Cancer

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, 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 methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, 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. Durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared to chemotherapy alone.

3. A Study To Evaluate DS-8201a Combined With Olaparib In HER2-Expressing Cancers With Expansion In Endometrial Cancer Patients Testing The Combination Of DS-8201a And Olaparib In HER2-Expressing Cancers With Expansion In Patients With Endometrial Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of DS-8201a in combination with olaparib, and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) 1.1.2 To evaluate the safety and tolerability of this combination in a dose expansion cohort in patients with uterine serous carcinoma.

4. 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.

5. Gemini Study To Evaluate The Integration Of Cancer Genetic Testing Into A Cancer Clinical Practice At Mayo Clinic At Arizona

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of genetic mutations in cancer patients from various ethnic populations seeking care at Mayo Clinic cancer clinics.

6. A Study of the Brain & Body Donation Program

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to study the structure and biochemistry of the brain and/or bodily fluid and tissue after death.  Comparison of specimens from normal and diseased individuals provide essential clues that lead to a greater understanding of the diseased state which, in turn, will lead to new ideas for therapy.

7. Axicabtagene Ciloleucel Versus Standard Of Care Therapy As First-Line Therapy In High-Risk Large B-Cell Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., La Crosse, Wis., Mankato, Minn., 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).

8. Ascorbic Acid And Chemotherapy For The Treatment Of Relapsed Or Refractory Lymphoma, CCUS, And Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

   Mankato, Minn., Rochester, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., La Crosse, Wis.

   This phase II trial studies the effect of ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy in treating patients with lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to therapy (refractory), clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Ascorbic acid may make cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.

9. A Study Of Intratumoral Injection Of Autologous Dendritic Cells After High-Dose Conformal External Beam Radiotherapy In Patients With Unresectable Liver Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of the pilot study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an autologous dendritic cells (DC) vaccine delivered by intra-tumoral injection in patients with primary liver cancer treated with high-dose conformal external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).

   The primary purpose of the phase II study is to estimate the progression-free survival rate at 2 years post-registration to see if treatment is efficacious compared to historical data.

10. A Study To Evaluate The Impact Of Non-invasive Tests For Bladder Cancer

    Rochester, Minn.

    Levels of bladder cancer-derived extracellular vesicles become undetectable after radical cystectomy in patients with localized bladder cancer. This study hopes to determine the levels of bladder cancer-derived extracellular vesicles pre- and post-RC.
