1. Evaluation of a Mixed Meal Test for Diagnosis and Characterization and Type 3c Diabetes Mellitus Secondary to Pancreatic Cancer and Chronic Pancreatitis (DETECT)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a blood test to distinguish various causes of diabetes by evaluating patients who have developed diabetes within the last 3 years, but we will also enroll a small number of patients with long-term diabetes and normal blood sugars for comparison. 

   Diabetes mellitus is a common condition which is defined by persistently high blood sugar levels.  This is a frequent problem that is most commonly due to type 2 diabetes.  However, it is now recognized that a small portion of the population with diabetes have an underlying problem with their pancreas, such as chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, as the cause of their diabetes.  Currently, there is no test to identify the small number of patients who have diabetes caused by a primary problem with their pancreas.

    

2. Screening for High Frequency Malignant Disease

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

   The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a blood-based GuardantLUNAR-2 test to detect high frequency cancer in screen-relevant populations.

    

3. TRPC6 to Predict and Prevent Chemotherapy Related Cardiomyopathy and Heart Failure (Prospective Study)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize TRPC6 risk variants for doxorubicin-related cardiotoxicity in prospectively collected samples from breast cancer patients.   

   Breast cancer patients are more than three times at risk for developing congestive heart failure (CHF), compared with patients who did not have cancer. The increased risk of HF is observed as early as one year from diagnosis of cancer and overall, 7% of patients develop CHF (median follow-up 8.5 years) 

4. A Study to Evaluate TAB006, as Monotherapy and in Combination with Toripalimab, in Patients with Previously Treated, Advanced Malignancies

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

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of TAB006 as monotherapy and in combination with toripalimab to treat advanced malignancies.

5. Global Cardio Oncology Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to provide a large database and platform for prospective sub-studies and eventually develop additional collaborations with a platform for clinical studies and trials following the initial pilot phase.

6. A Bio-bank for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Associated Neoplasia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect blood and stool samples to validate and improve the performance of stool and blood DNA markers for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal neoplasia critical to the long-term goal of improving effectiveness of neoplasia detection in patients using non-invasive biomarkers to assist colonoscopy and radiographic screening. 

7. A Study to Explore the Mechanisms that Separate Responders Versus Non-responders to Treatment such as Immunotherapy, Target Therapy and Chemotherapy in Lung Cancer Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to explore the underlying mechanisms that distinguishes responder versus non-responders to treatment such as immunotherapy, target therapy and chemotherapy in lung cancer and mechanisms of resistance. The information generated from this study will likely help to design the optimal strategies to improve clinical outcomes in lung cancers.

8. Imaging of Prostatic Anatomy in Patients with Known Prostate Cancer and Those at High-Risk using Magnetic Resonance Elastography

   Rochester, Minn.

   Many of the current imaging tests we have for prostate cancer are problematic in their ability to distinguish cancerous from non-cancerous prostate tissue. This study is being performed to develop better imaging techniques to better identify and characterize prostate cancer.

9. A Prospective Ocular Tumor Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to use clinical, imaging, molecular, and epidemiological investigation toward the goal of providing new knowledge about ocular tumors that will be useful in understanding, diagnosing, monitoring, and suggesting new avenues of treatment. This study does not involve experimental treatment of any ocular tumor, but rather observation of tumor natural history or outcomes following standard of care therapy, associated systemic and ocular conditions, and basic research investigations to better understand tumor biomarkers and pathophysiology.

10. Defining the Immunologic Profile of Sentinel Lymph Nodes and Identifying the Mechanisms Responsible for Immunosuppression

    Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to look at the effects cancer and melanoma have on the immune cells found in lymph nodes.
