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

1. Ommaya Placement For Biomarker Collection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of intra-operative Ommaya Reservoir placement during a clinically indicated tumor surgery in order to facilitate a longitudinal access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for analysis of exploratory and future tumor biomarkers for individualized monitoring.

    

    

2. Breast Cancer, Reasoning, And Activity Intervention

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This phase II trial tests whether an exercise intervention works to improve cognitive function in breast cancer survivors. Many breast cancer survivors report cancer-related cognitive impairment, which this has recently become a priority in clinical research due to its dramatic impact on daily functioning, quality of life, and long-term health. Aerobic exercise has the potential to improve cognitive function and brain health in older adults and is recommended as a safe, tolerable, and accessible complementary therapy for breast cancer survivors. This study aims to understand the effects of physical activity compared with health education on memory, attention, and brain health in women with breast cancer. Study findings may help researchers design more programs that can improve memory, attention, and brain health in other women with breast cancer.

3. Understanding The Relationship Between Benign Breast Tissue, Benign Breast Disease, And Breast Cancer Development

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to culture human mammary cells to identify cellular characteristics associated with lobular involution status. 

4. SULF1 and SULF2 Role in Cholangiocarcinoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has key similarities with HCC, therefore, we hypothesize that Sulf1 and Sulf2 may also play roles in promotion of CCA progression.

5. 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.

6. YH001 Plus Envafolimab With or Without Doxorubicin in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Sarcoma

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of YH001 when given with envafolimab dosed at 600 mg SC every 3 weeks in patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma who are refractory to or intolerant to other available therapies. Also, to evaluate safety and tolerability and determine RP2D of YH001 in combination with envafolimab dosed at 600 mg SC every 3 weeks and doxorubicin dosed at 75 mg/m2 every three weeks in patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma who have not received doxorubicin or checkpoint inhibitors and are refractory to or intolerant to other available therapies.

7. A Study Of ABBV-383 With Relapsed Refractory Waldenström Macroglobulinemia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and RP2D of ABBV-383 monotherapy for patients with RRWM and to determine VGPR or deeper response as the best response achieved with ABBV 383 within 12 cycles  of initiation of therapy for patients with RRWM.

8. GATE1: A Multicenter Phase II Study Of Pirtobrutinib, Rituximab And Venetoclax Combination Therapy For Patients With Previously Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   Primary Objectives: To estimate the percent of participants who achieve a best response of complete response by the end of the PRV combination therapy in the induction therapy phase in patients with previously untreated MCL.

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. 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.
