1. 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.

2. Real-time Disease Monitoring of Metastatic Breast Cancer to Optimize Treatment

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to identify subtype-specific signatures for breast cancer using genomic positioning of plasma DNA fragments, and to validate changes in ctDNA levels as a biomarker for treatment monitoring in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

3. Circulating Tumor Nucleic Acids to Monitor Treatment Response in Metastatic Melanoma Patients

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This project will investigate whether the analysis of nucleic acids circulating in the blood from tumors can allow real-time monitoring of treatment response to targeted therapy and immunotherapy for patients who have stage IV metastatic melanoma.

4. Ascorbic Acid and Combination Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoma or CCUS

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

   The purpose of this study is to examine how well ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy work in treating patients with lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to therapy. 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 work better at treating lymphoma.

   In the Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance (CCUS) Cohort D, we want to find out if ascorbic acid will improve blood counts so fewer transfusions  are required and there is a less likely chance the patient will develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or other related myeloid malignancies.

5. Upifitamab Rilsodotin Maintenance in Platinum-Sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer (UP-NEXT)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   UP-NEXT is a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled study of the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) XMT-1536 (upifitamab rilsodotin) administered as an intravenous infusion for patients once every four weeks. Patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer expressing high levels of NaPi2b.

6. A Registry Study for the Long-Term Outcomes of Radiation Therapy

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this long term registry study is to collect and analyze information from patients being treated with various forms of radiation therapy to improve the treatment of future patients.

7. A Study to Collect Medical and Personal Histories, Blood and/or Tumor Tissue Samples from Patients Who are Long-term Survivors of Lung Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect medical and personal histories, blood and/or tumor tissue samples from patients who are long-term survivors of lung cancer. This study will help us to develop better ways to provide care and advice, develop better treatments to minimize long-term side effects, and improve the quality of life and outcome of lung cancer patients. This study will also help us to learn whether certain genes (inherited factors from your parents) increase the risk of developing or dying of lung cancer.

8. A Study of Intratumoral Injection of Dendritic Cells after High-Dose Conformal External Beam Radiotherapy in Patients with Unresectable Liver Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   Group 1: The primary purpose of this 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).

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

9. (Apex) CGT9486 in Patients With Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate CGT9486 for the treatment of patients with Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis (AdvSM), including patients with Aggressive SM. (ASM), System Mastocytosis (SM) with Associated Hematologic Neoplasm (SM-AHN), and Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL).

10. Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption (BBBD) for Liquid Biopsy in Subjects With GlioBlastoma Brain Tumors

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using Exablate Model 4000 Type-2.0/2.1 in adults with Glioblastoma brain tumors to increase temporarily the permeability of the blood brain barrier, allowing increased passage of circulating free DNA (cfDNA) for sampling and analysis.
