1. 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.

2. A Bio-bank for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Associated Neoplasia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect blood and stool samples to validate and improve the performance of stool and blood DNA markers for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal neoplasia critical to the long-term goal of improving effectiveness of neoplasia detection in patients using non-invasive biomarkers to assist colonoscopy and radiographic screening. 

3. Reduced Dose Hypofractionated Radiotherapy For Indolent Non-hodgkin Lymphoma

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

   The purpose of thisstudy is to evaluate reduction of radiotherapy dose for patients with indolent NHL by conducting a prospective randomized phase 2 study comparing reduced dose hypofractionated ISRT of 9 Gy delivered over 3 fractions (BED 12 Gy) to standard of care 24 Gy delivered over 12 fractions (BED 29Gy), while simultaneously evaluating prognostic value of pre-radiation functional imaging parameters and molecular markers to predict treatment response and failure.

4. A Study Of CGM In GBM

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

   The purpose of this study is to compare standard glucose monitoring versus continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with endocrinology-guided intervention in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients receiving standard-of-care therapy.

5. Wearable Artificial InTelligence For Cardiac Function And Health Monitoring

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of thist study is to find a cost effective CV surveillance of cancer survivors over long periods of time to prevent the risk of progression of HF and related morbidity and mortality. Mobile device-based AI-ECG can reliably detect cardiac dysfunction in lymphoma and sarcoma survivors  and smart watch based surveillance for cardiotoxicity is feasible and reliable.

6. 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.

7. 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. 

8. 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.

    

9. A Study Evaluating The Safety And Efficacy Of Targeted Therapies In Subpopulations Of Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (INTRINSIC)

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

   This open-label, exploratory study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted therapies or immunotherapy as single agents or combinations, in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) whose tumors are biomarker positive as per treatment arm-specific definition. Eligible participants with mCRC will be enrolled into specific treatment arms based on their biomarker assay results.

10. TRPC6 To Predict And Prevent Chemotherapy Related Cardiomyopathy And Heart Failure (Prospective Study)

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to characterize TRPC6 risk variants for doxorubicin-related cardiotoxicity in prospectively collected samples from breast cancer patients.   

    Breast cancer patients are more than three times at risk for developing congestive heart failure (CHF), compared with patients who did not have cancer. The increased risk of HF is observed as early as one year from diagnosis of cancer and overall, 7% of patients develop CHF (median follow-up 8.5 years)
