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

1. Actinium Therapy For Late-stage Aggressive Sarcomas

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

   The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of drug \[Ac225\]RTX-2358 and the diagnostic imaging agent \[Cu64\]LNTH-1363S. Additionally Ratio Therapeutics will learn if \[Ac225\]RTX-2358 drug is effective in treating advanced sarcoma.
   
   The main questions the study aims to answer in Phase/Part 1 of the trial are:
   
   * Is \[Ac225\]RTX-2358 tolerable or does it cause toxicities (medical problems) in patients.
   * What is the most tolerable dose of \[Ac225\]RTX-2358
   * Does the treatment show effectiveness on advanced sarcoma
   
   Participants will:
   
   * Take drug \[Ac225\]RTX-2358 once every 8 weeks (4 cycle target; 6 cycle maximum) over a period of 12 months
   * Visit the clinic three times for the first week of cycle one, then once a week for the remaining 7 weeks of cycle 1 for check-ups and tests.
   * For cycles 2-6: patient will visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests
   * Remain in long term follow-up for a period of four additional years

2. A Study for Cerebral Open Flow Microperfusion

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of intra-operative microperfusion during a planned neurosurgical resection of diseased brain parenchyma, including either an epileptic focus requiring temporal lobectomy or a glioma. Devices used for microperfusion are Joanneum Research’s cerebral open flow microperfusion (OFM) catheters, push and pull tubing, and MPP102-II pump.

3. Low Dose Aspirin For The Prevention Of Postpartum Related Breast Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to test whether a short course of aspirin can change the markers of inflammation in patients who have a benign finding within five years of their last pregnancy, and possibly reduce their risk of future breast cancer.

4. A Study To Evaluate Regional Radiotherapy In Biomarker Low-Risk Node Positive Breast Cancer

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on low-risk breast cancer receiving usual care that includes regional radiation therapy, with receiving no regional radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if not giving this type of radiation treatment works as well at preventing breast cancer from coming back.

5. Tumor Treating Fields For The Treatment Of Leptomeningeal Metastases Of The Spine In Patients With Breast Or Lung Cancer

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This clinical trial evaluates the safety and feasibility of tumor treating fields (TTF) in the treatment of spinal leptomeningeal disease in patients with breast or lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Patients wear the portable Novo TTF-200T device that produces electric fields to target areas on the body to stop the growth of tumor cells. The information from this study will help researchers develop a better treatment for leptomeningeal metastases in the future.

6. 3D Ultrasound Imaging For Breast Cancer Diagnosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveess of a new 3D ultrasound imaging technology combining B-mode, microvessel imaging, shear wave elastography, and machine learning for breast lesion diagnosis.

7. Upifitamab Rilsodotin Maintenance in Platinum-Sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer (UP-NEXT)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   UP-NEXT is a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled study of the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) XMT-1536 (upifitamab rilsodotin) administered as an intravenous infusion for patients once every four weeks. Patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer expressing high levels of NaPi2b.

8. Melanoma In-transit Tissue Bank And Molecular Analysis For Personalized Therapies

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to establish a tissue bank to collect patient tissue for genomic analysis, allowing identification of genomic signatures that predict response and failure to the individual therapy.  Once this is complete treatment will be directed based on the genomic signature of patients individual tumor.

    

    

9. Specialty Compared To Oncology Delivered Palliative Care For Treating Acute Myeloid Leukemia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether primary palliative care is an alternative strategy to specialty palliative care for improving quality of life, symptoms, mood, coping, and end of life outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

10. Evaluating Intestinal Microbiome And Immune Function In Lymphoma

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to examine the microbiome and immune function in patients with active lymphoma, and in patients with a history of lymphoma who are in clinical remission.
