1. 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.

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

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

3. A Study To Test Nivolumab With Usual Chemotherapy Treatment Or Usual Chemotherapy Treatment Alone To Treat Recurrent Or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Cancer

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   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.

4. 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.

5. A Study To Evaluate Yttrium-90 Therapy For Radiation Lobectomy

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

   The Patient Group 1 primary objective is to measure the distribution of 90Y glass microspheres throughout the tumor and non-tumor hepatic parenchyma, as assessed by same day postradioembolization study-specific non-FDG PET/CT scan. Correlate this measurement with mean lobar absorbed radiation dose and embolic load given to patients and time taken to achieve adequate Future Liver Remnant (> 40% of total liver volume) to determine if there is an optimal lobar dose and embolic load.

   The Patient Group 2 primary objectives are to assess the association of circulating and imaging biomarkers on Future Liver Remnant hypertrophy, and to assess progression-free survival between patients with HCC who underwent resection following Y-90 radioembolization with optimal dose and those who presented with an adequate Future Liver Remnant for resection (i.e., who were not treated pre-surgically).

6. Study Of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Vs Standard Therapy In Participants With Microsatellite Instability-High (MSI-H) Or Mismatch Repair Deficient (DMMR) Stage IV Colorectal Carcinoma (MK-3475-177/KEYNOTE-177)

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   In this study, participants with MSI-H or dMMR advanced colorectal carcinoma will be randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab or the Investigator's choice of 1 of 6 standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of advanced colorectal carcinoma. The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab will prolong progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) compared to current SOC chemotherapy.

7. The Pediatric Acute Leukemia (PedAL) Screening Trial - A Study To Test Bone Marrow And Blood In Children With Leukemia That Has Come Back After Treatment Or Is Difficult To Treat - A Leukemia & Lymphoma Society And Children's Oncology Group Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen for patient eligibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials.  

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. Detection of Mutant Circulating Tumor (CT)Dna in Uveal Melanoma With Development of a Droplet Digital Pcr (Ddpcr) Assay

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to design, develop and assess the performance characteristics of a ddPCR assay for the detection of mutations associated with uveal melanoma. The performance characteristics of the ddPCR assay for the detection of ctDNA mutation in uveal melanoma patients will be assessed by comparing the mutation results obtained for the ddPCR assay on blood to those obtained on paired paraffin embedded tumors.
