1. A Study to Evaluate Encorafenib Plus Cetuximab with/without Chemotherapy to Treat Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether encorafenib plus cetuximab (EC), alone or in combination with chemotherapy, can improve clinical outcomes relative to current standard of care chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

2. 3D Surface Scanning

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to examine the potential for using a 3D scan of a patient’s treatment surface as a surrogate for a conventional CT simulation in electron radiation therapy.

    

3. A Study to Evaluate the Incidence and Psychological Impact of Vaginal Cuff Dehiscence After Different Types of Hysterectomy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of cuff dehiscence in patients who have undergone total robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy vs. total vaginal hysterectomy, to identify risk factors for cuff dehiscence, and to study the impact of cuff dehiscence on a patient’s psychological well-being.

4. A Study of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Biomarker Monitoring Progression and Treatment Response of Locally-advanced Unresectable and Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Therapies

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if LIF (Leukemia Inhibitory Factor) level is positively correlated with disease progression and CA19-9 level in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients and is a reliable biomarker of response.

5. A Study to Collect Clinical Data, Blood Samples, and Tissue Specimens from Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are (i) to obtain and study biospecimens from patients with breast cancer that has either spread out of the breast or recurred after initial treatment(s), such as surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation, and (ii) to collect information about patients, treatments, and the behavior of the underlying cancer. Research involving biospecimens that are linked to related medical information is one way to learn more about diseases. In this case, we seek to understand the mechanism of tumor spread and determine why people respond differently to specific cancer treatments. In general terms, scientists will study the cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins found in the tumor tissue and/or the blood to understand more about cancer and the body’s response to cancer and related treatments.

6. Genetic Risk Estimation and Improving Health Disparities in Breast Cancer Screening of Racial Minorities

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The aim of this study is to use the combine clinical risk assessment models that are already used in routine clinical practice with information derived from polygenic risk score (PRS) testing in women of racial minorities to see if this can improve adherence to recommended breast cancer screening and prevention strategies.

7. Dynamics of Clinical Trial Discussions in Oncology to Identify Patient Barriers and Help Develop a Patient-centered Intervention to Increase Participation in Clinical Trials

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to richly describe the content and dynamics of clinical trial discussions in oncology and compare the knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes of oncology patients, caregivers, and clinicians related to clinical trials, and to develop a multifaceted, patient-centered intervention for increasing patient understanding of and participation in clinical trials in oncology.

8. A Study to Collect Clinical Data and Store Samples of Blood and Tissue for Current and Future Research Studies on Sarcoma

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This study is being done to collect clinical data and store samples of your blood and tissue for current and future research studies on sarcoma.

9. Benevolent Tumor Tissue Repository Fighting for the Legacy of our Young

   Rochester, Minn.

   The aim of this study is to create a patient and patient-advocate catalyzed tumor bank for the retrieval, processing, analysis, and maintenance of pre-treatment, post-treatment and (when available) post-mortem soft tissue sarcoma (STS) tissue and tissue data with an emphasis on STSs occurring in younger patients (YP-STS). This resource-platform will be named Project BTTRFLY (Benevolent Tumor Tissue Repository Fighting for the Legacy of our Young).  

10. A Study to Evaluate Screening Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammogram (CEDM) in Study Participants at Intermediate Breast Cancer Risk and Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) Results

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate a low-cost Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammogram (CEDM) protocol as a supplemental screening method to standard mammographic screening in women at intermediate lifetime-risk (and not undergoing annual MR surveillance) for breast cancer.
