1. Eliminating Breast Cancer Surgery In Exceptional Responders With Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how often breast cancer recurs (returns after treatment) in the breast in patients who have been treated with chemotherapy and have had follow-up radiation therapy (but not surgery) and are in complete remission (no evidence of disease). This is an investigational study. Radiation therapy is delivered using FDA-approved and commercially available methods. The study doctor can explain how radiation therapy is designed to work. About 120 participants will be enrolled on this multicenter study. Up to 90 may take part at MD Anderson.

2. Mayo Clinic Radiotherapy Patient Outcomes Registry And Biobanking Study

   Rochester, Minn., Albert Lea, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   To collect and analyze specimens that will correlate with clinical outcomes such as acute and late toxicities, quality of life, local control, and survival of patients treated with radiation therapy.

3. A Study Of Cell, Serum, And Bone Marrow Bank For Patients Receiving Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy For The Treatment Of Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to store blood, serum and bone marrow so that they can be used for laboratory studies that may contribute to finding the exact function of the CART cells or T-cell engager therapy such as bispecific and trispecific antibodies and the factors that may determine disease progression and treatment response.

4. CfDNA Assay Prospective Observational Validation For Early Cancer Detection And Minimal Residual Disease (CAMPERR)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this multicenter prospective observational case-control study is to train and validate Adela’s cfMeDIP-seq based methylome profiling platform to detect and differentiate multiple cancer subtypes. In addition, this study includes longitudinal follow-up for a subset of participants to train and validate the methylome profiling platform to detect minimal residual disease and recurrence.

5. Spinal Cord Stimulation To Treat Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to understand pain outcomes in patients with cancer who have Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN).

6. Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AMSCs) For Recurrent Glioblastoma

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This study aims to evaluate the safety of local delivery of AMSCs for recurrent GBM by noting the incidence of adverse events, as well as radiological and clinical progression.

   To assess the preliminary efficacy of local delivery of AMSCs for recurrent GBM by comparing the clinical, survival, progression, and radiographic outcomes from patients enrolled in our study to historical controls from our institution.

7. The NeoGlioma Study

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

   This study aims to evaluate the safety of preoperative radiosurgery in the treatment of patients with biopsy-proven high grade glioma prior to conventional therapy. Safety is defined as any acute grade 3 (CTCAE v5.0) or greater unplanned adverse event from the time of enrollment until 4 weeks following postoperative radiotherapy.

8. A Study To Create A Registry For Patients At High-Risk For Pancreatic Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study aims to facilitate discovery and validation of tests for early detection in subjects at high risk for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). and to facilitate the use of state-of-the-art machine learning-based algorithms that utilize databases and images with the purpose of identifying early stages of pancreatic cancer, as well as people at high-risk.The study also aims to provide a platform for development of an interventional protocol for early detection of PDAC.

9. Low Dose Aspirin For The Prevention Of Postpartum Related Breast Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to test whether a short course of aspirin can change the markers of inflammation in patients who have a benign finding within five years of their last pregnancy, and possibly reduce their risk of future breast cancer.

10. Effectiveness of Nurse-based Care Coordination on Readmissions among Primary Care Patients: a Stepped Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate nurse-based care coordination compared to usual care on 30-day risk-adjusted readmission rates among high risk patients.
