Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. Pre-myeloid Cancer and Bone Marrow Failure Clinic Study

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

   The purpose of this study is to test a new technology called Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) that may help identify this risk associated with precursor conditions and the likelihood that they will change into overt blood and bone marrow cancers. NGS is a procedure that looks at relevant cancer associated genes and what they do.

2. Short Course Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Patients With Glioblastoma, SAGA Study

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

   The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferior 12-month overall survival of patients with GlioblastomA (GBM) treated with dose escalated hypofractionated radiotherapy compared to standard of care. Also, to demonstrate the safety and favorable quality of life via physician-reported G3+ toxicitycompare if SBRT is non-inferior to standard of care on the proportion of overall survival of patients with glioblastoma 12 months after randomization.

    

3. A Study to Collect Ovarian Tissue from Girls Undergoing Fertility-preserving Cryopreservation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to study the handling of ovarian tissue, cryopreservation technology, and oocyte maturation for female pediatric cancer patients and other female patients whose future fertility will be affected due to a disease or treatment.

4. A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Remdesivir to Treat Coronavirus Disease 2019 in an Outpatient Setting

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effietiveness of remdesivir (RDV) in reducing the rate of of all-cause medically attended visits (MAVs; medical visits attended in person by the participant and a health care professional) or death in non-hospitalized participants with early stage coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to evaluate the safety of RDV administered in an outpatient setting.

5. A Study to Evaluate Same Day Discharge Post-mastectomy with/without Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction

   Rochester, Minn.

   In the light of the pandemic, institutions have had to take greater precautions and instigate procedures to aim to improve safety and reduce risk for patients undergoing surgery. One intiative was designed to implement a same day discharge for patients undergoing mastectomy with or without alloplastic reconstruction. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes and patient satisfaction with same day mastectomy with or without alloplastic reconstruction following COVID-19 and compare satisfaction and outcomes (e.g complications) with patients pre-COVID 19. This is part of a quality improvement project. 

6. ROF2181

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

   Currently, only a few international institutions use CIRT to treat pelvic bone sarcomas. Accordingly, data evaluating the potential differences in oncological outcomes, toxicities, and functional outcomes between CIRT and the more readily accessible local therapies of surgery and PT is scarce. For this reason, we propose conducting a prospective comparative effectiveness study evaluating functional outcomes, toxicities, and local control in patients with pelvic bone sarcomas treated with surgery, PT, and CIRT.

7. A Study to Establish a Retinoblastoma Patient Clinical Database and Tissue Repository

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to systematically and prospectively record accurate and complete data regarding the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes of patients diagnosed with RB; collect, bank, preserve, and analyze biomaterials from patients with RB, and to correlate phenotypic data with findings from human biomaterials.

    

8. Safety and Efficacy Study of MLN0128 in Combination With Exemestane or Fulvestrant in Postmenopausal Women With ER/PR+ Metastatic Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is a phase 1b/2 study of the safety and efficacy of MLN0128 in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant therapy in women with estrogen receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (ER+/HER2-) advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has progressed on treatment with everolimus in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant.

9. A Phase 1, Study of BMF-500 in Adults With Acute Leukemia

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BMF-500 and to determine the OBD and RP2D of BMF-500.

10. A Study of the Bacteria Found in Cancerous and Non-cancerous Breast Tissue

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to see if having different kinds of bacteria genes in breast tissue may be connected to the risk of getting breast cancer.
