1. Long-Term Follow-up Protocol for Subjects Treated With Gene-Modified T Cells

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

   This is a prospective study for the long-term follow-up (LTFU) of safety and efficacy for all pediatric and adult subjects exposed to Gene-modified (GM) T cell therapy participating in a previous Celgene sponsored or Celgene alliance partner sponsored study. Subjects who received at least one GM T cell infusion, will be asked to roll-over to this LTFU protocol upon either premature discontinuation from, or completion of the prior parent treatment protocol.

2. Image-based Mapping of Brain Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to combine MRI images with histologic and genetic analysis of cancer (from blood and tissue samples) to improve the overall accuracy of diagnosis and effectiveness of cancer treatment.

    

3. A Study to Explore Tumor Biology in Metastatic Esophageal and Gastric Cancer Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to explore various biomarkers in the post-treatment tissue of patients who have responded to cancer therapy and compare it to the biopsy performed prior to cancer treatment.

4. Comparison of Acute Toxicities Between Patients Treated With Protons or Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy After Surgery for the Treatment of Endometrial or Cervical Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether proton radiation therapy (proton RT) reduces acute gastrointestinal toxicities at the end of treatment compared to intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

5. A Study to Develop Liquid Biopsy for Pediatric Brain Tumor Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to confirm detection of the H3K27M mutation in patient biofluids (CSF, blood, urine, saliva) and uncover the molecular histone (alkaline protein) profile of H3K trimethylation and H3S phosphorylation in the circulating nucleosomes isolated from the biofluids of patients with H3K27M tumors.

6. Dietary and Topical Magnesium Replacement or Supplementation in Patients with Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this research study is to find out if being on a magnesium rich diet and using a magnesium lotion on the skin will help to keep the magnesium blood level in a normal range or increase the magnesium level if it is slightly below the normal range or in the low end of the normal range. We also want to learn about the side effects and quality of life when patients are receiving different forms of magnesium.  

   Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion is an over-the-counter lotion that can be bought at a drug store or on the internet. The use of this lotion is considered investigational since it hasn’t been studied in lymphoma cancer patients with low magnesium levels before; however, the FDA is allowing us to use this lotion in this research study.

7. Grief Among Older Adult Family Caregivers

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the trajectory of loss and grief over 12 months, the risk factors associated with high levels of pre-loss grief, and the preliminary effectiveness of ART for treatment of high levels of pre-loss grief among family caregivers (FCG) of persons nearing the end of life.

8. Real-time Disease Monitoring of Metastatic Breast Cancer to Optimize Treatment

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to identify subtype-specific signatures for breast cancer using genomic positioning of plasma DNA fragments, and to validate changes in ctDNA levels as a biomarker for treatment monitoring in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

9. Circulating Tumor Nucleic Acids to Monitor Treatment Response in Metastatic Melanoma Patients

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This project will investigate whether the analysis of nucleic acids circulating in the blood from tumors can allow real-time monitoring of treatment response to targeted therapy and immunotherapy for patients who have stage IV metastatic melanoma.

10. Ascorbic Acid and Combination Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoma or CCUS

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

    The purpose of this study is to examine how well ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy work in treating patients with lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to therapy. 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 work better at treating lymphoma.

    In the Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance (CCUS) Cohort D, we want to find out if ascorbic acid will improve blood counts so fewer transfusions  are required and there is a less likely chance the patient will develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or other related myeloid malignancies.
