Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. ORACLE: Observation Of ResiduAl Cancer With Liquid Biopsy Evaluation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of ORACLE is to demonstrate the ability of a novel ctDNA assay developed by Guardant Health to detect recurrence in individuals treated for early-stage solid tumors. It is necessary that ctDNA test results are linked to clinical outcomes in order to demonstrate clinical validity for recurrence detection and explore its value in a healthcare environment subject to cost containment.

2. MC230818 Understanding The Mechanisms Of Clonal And Non-clonal Cytopenia Following CAR-T Therapy

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

   This clinical trial evaluates the impact of preexisting and therapy-emergent germline and somatic variants on cytopenia in patients with multiple myeloma or CD19 positive lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) following chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. The most common adverse event after CAR-T therapy is lower than normal blood cells (cytopenia) and up to one third of patients experience cytopenia that last longer than 30 days post-infusion. Germline and somatic variants are changes in genes found using cancer genomic tests. Cancer genetic/genomic testing is a series of tests that find specific changes in cancer cells or in blood deoxyribonucleic acid. Identifying gene mutations may help identify the risk of cytopenia in patients with multiple myeloma or CD19 positive LPD following CAR-T therapy.

3. Bladder Bank (A Prospective Banking Study)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to establish samples (blood and urine) to support the development of non-invasive tests for early detection of bladder cancer 

4. A Registry For The Collection And Maintenance Of Biological Specimens For Breast Cancer Research

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this registry is to collect and maintain samples of breast tissue from women and men undergoing surgery for a breast related concern at Mayo Clinic Rochester,  to create a biospecimen resource for the study of benign and cancerous breast conditions.

5. MC1733, Phase I Trial Of Intratumoral Administration Of A Measles Virus Derivative Expressing The Helicobacter Pylori Neutrophil-activating Protein (NAP) (MV-s-NAP) In Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   To determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of intratumoral administration of an Edmonston strain measeles virus genetically engineered to express NAP (MV-s-NAP) in patients with metastatic breast cancer; to determine the safety and toxicity of on-time and serial administration of MV-s-NAP in patients with metastic breast cancer. 

6. Expanded Access Study For The Treatment Of Patients With Commercially Out-of-Specification Axicabtagene Ciloleucel

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this study is to provide access to axicabtagene ciloleucel for patients diagnosed with a disease approved for treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel, that is otherwise out of specification for commercial release.

7. Leveraging Methylated DNA Markers (MDMs) In The Detection Of Endometrial Cancer And Cervical Cancer: A Phase II Clinical Study

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

   The purpose of this study is to develop a pan-gynecologic cancer detection test using gynecologic (unique endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer) cancer-specific methylated DNA markers and high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) detected in vaginal fluid and/or plasma.

    

8. A Study To Evaluate Regulation Of The Metabolism Of T-Cells By The Tumor Microenvironment In Ovarian Cancer Metastasis

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to analyze how the immune cell repertoire changes during early and late metastasis which could shed light into how the tumor microenvironment in metastatic disease becomes tumor permissive.

9. A Study To Evaluate Immune-related Biomarkers For Pathological Response In Stage II-III HER2-positive Breast Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine vs. placebo in combination with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (TTT-DM1) in patients with stage II-III HER2+ breast cancer with residual disease post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and to evaluate the safety of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine given concurrently with T-DM1 maintenance therapy.

10. Testing The Addition Of An Anti-cancer Drug, Selinexor, To The Usual Chemotherapy Treatment (Temozolomide) For Brain Tumors That Have Returned After Previous Treatment

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

    The purpose of phase 1 of this trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of temozolomide followed by selinexor in recurrent glioblastoma patients as determined by dose-limiting toxicities [DLTs] and the total toxicity profile.

    The purpose of phase 2 of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of sequentially administering temozolomide and selinexor in recurrent glioblastoma as determined by progression-free survival [PFS].
