1. A Study of Prostate Cancer Care and Survivorship Among Sub-Saharan African Immigrant Impacted by Social Determinants of Migrant Health Factors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary objective of this study is to employ the social determinant of migrant health framework (International Organization for Migration, n.d.) to examine the impact of immigration on the health-seeking behaviors of Sub-Saharan African Immigrant (SSAI) and Caribbean Immigrant (CI) men including informed-decision making, psychosocial effects and coping mechanisms.  

2. Monoclonal Proteins by Blood Spot and Saliva

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and develop procedures for detecting monoclonal proteins via finger pick blood spots and saliva. Data will be compared to results of serum data collected for patient care during the same time.  The test will be evaluated qualitatively against venipunctured data tested by Mass Fix.

3. A Study to Evaluate Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy to Treat Patients with Pancreatic Cancer and Peritoneal Metastasis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to assess short-term morbidity and disease-free survival outcomes for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

    

    

4. Turkey Tail Mushrooms for women with ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine changes in proliferation (Ki-67) in ER+HER2-breast cancers that receive turkey tail administration.

    

5. A Study of Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of APG-2575 as well as dose escalation and dose expansion stages.

6. Randomized Phase II/III Trial of Adjuvant Radiation Therapy with Cisplatin, Docetaxel-Cetuximab, or Cisplatin-Atezolizumab in Pathologic High-Risk Squamous Cell Cancer of the Head and Neck

   Rochester, Minn.

   This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well radiation therapy works when given together with cisplatin compared to docetaxel or cetuximab and docetaxel after surgery in treating patients with stage III-IV squamous cell head and neck cancer. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or transmit tumor killing molecules to them. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective when given with cisplatin, docetaxel, or cetuximab and docetaxel.

7. A Study to Analyze NMS-03305293 and Temozolomide in Adult Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma

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

   The objectives of this study are to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of NMS-03305293 in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) in patients with diffuse gliomas at first relapse (Phase I),  and to determine the antitumor effectiveness of the combination of NMS-03305293 and TMZ in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type glioblastoma at first relapse as measured by the 6-month Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate (Phase II).

8. A Study of Intravital Microscopy (IVM) in Human Solid Tumors

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of performing HIVM in patients with deep space solid tumors during standard course of surgical resection.

9. CD19-Directed CAR-T Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Relapsed/​Refractory B Cell Malignancies

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to find out more about the side effects of the CAR-T therapy called IC19/1563 and what dose of IC19/1563 is safe for patients.

   The therapy, IC19/1563, uses some of the patients own immune cells, called T cells, to kill cancer. T cells fight infections and, in some cases, can also kill cancer cells. In this study, some of the patient's T cells will be removed from their blood. In the laboratory, we will put a new gene into the T cells. This gene allows the T cells to recognize and possibly treat the cancer. The new modified T cells are called the IC19/1563 treatment. The dose of IC19/1563 will depend on when the patient is enrolled on to the study.

    

10. Differences in Immunological Effects of Vitamin D Replacement Among African American Prostate Cancer Patients With Localized Versus Metastatic Disease

    Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The aims of this study are to evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency among B/AA prostate cancer patients and to determine the deficits in immunity associated with vitamin D insufficiency. Also, we will evaluate whether the peripheral blood immune cell function is different in B/AA prostate cancer patients with metastatic disease as compared with those with localized disease.
