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

1. Axicabtagene Ciloleucel Versus Standard Of Care Therapy As First-Line Therapy In High-Risk Large B-Cell Lymphoma

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

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of axicabtagene ciloleucel versus standard of care therapy (SOCT), as measured by eventfree survival (EFS). Additionally, to compare the effectiveness of axicabtagene ciloleucel versus SOCT, as measured by progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

2. A Study Of Tucatinib With Trastuzumab And MFOLFOX6 Versus Standard Of Care Treatment In First-line HER2+ Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (MOUNTAINEER-03)

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

   The purpose of this study is to find out if tucatinib with other cancer drugs works better than standard of care to treat participants with HER2 positive colorectal cancer. This study will also test what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating your disease. Participants in this study have colorectal cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) and/or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable). 

3. Ascorbic Acid And Chemotherapy For The Treatment Of Relapsed Or Refractory Lymphoma, CCUS, And Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

   Mankato, Minn., Rochester, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., La Crosse, Wis.

   This phase II trial studies the effect of ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy in treating patients with lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to therapy (refractory), clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Ascorbic acid may make cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.

4. Gemini Study To Evaluate The Integration Of Cancer Genetic Testing Into A Cancer Clinical Practice At Mayo Clinic At Arizona

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of genetic mutations in cancer patients from various ethnic populations seeking care at Mayo Clinic cancer clinics.

5. I-SPY TRIAL: Neoadjuvant And Personalized Adaptive Novel Agents To Treat Breast Cancer (I-SPY)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to further advance the ability to practice personalized medicine by learning which new drug agents are most effective with which types of breast cancer tumors and by learning more about which early indicators of response (tumor analysis prior to surgery via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images along with tissue and blood samples) are predictors of treatment success.

6. A Study of the Brain & Body Donation Program

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to study the structure and biochemistry of the brain and/or bodily fluid and tissue after death.  Comparison of specimens from normal and diseased individuals provide essential clues that lead to a greater understanding of the diseased state which, in turn, will lead to new ideas for therapy.

7. A Study To Evaluate The Impact Of Non-invasive Tests For Bladder Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   Levels of bladder cancer-derived extracellular vesicles become undetectable after radical cystectomy in patients with localized bladder cancer. This study hopes to determine the levels of bladder cancer-derived extracellular vesicles pre- and post-RC.

8. Genomic And Proteomic Analyses Of Aggressive Tumors

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

   The purpose of this study is to use genomic and proteomic analyses to identify possible diagnostic markers and potential drugs for diagnosing and treating aggressive tumor types or neoplastic processes. Genomic analyses mean looking at the genome, or all the DNA in a cell (DNA is a material in your body that is a genetic map or code that provides instructions that make up your genes). Proteomic analyses mean looking at the proteome, or all the proteins expressed, or made, by DNA at a specific moment in time

9. Detection of Mutant Circulating Tumor (CT)Dna in Uveal Melanoma With Development of a Droplet Digital Pcr (Ddpcr) Assay

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to design, develop and assess the performance characteristics of a ddPCR assay for the detection of mutations associated with uveal melanoma. The performance characteristics of the ddPCR assay for the detection of ctDNA mutation in uveal melanoma patients will be assessed by comparing the mutation results obtained for the ddPCR assay on blood to those obtained on paired paraffin embedded tumors.

10. PRGN-3006 Adoptive Cellular Therapy For CD33-Positive Relapsed Or Refractory AML, MRD Positive AML Or Higher Risk MDS

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and best dose of PRGN-3006 T Cells to treat relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
