1. Social Determinants Of Migrant Health Factors Impacting Prostate Cancer Care And Survivorship Among Sub-Saharan African And Caribbean Immigrant Men

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   This study is being done to understand what social factors affect health decisions for those who have immigrated from another country by examining how the immigration from Sub-Sahara Africa affects the experiences of participants regarding health-seeking behaviors, care, and treatment of prostate cancer. It also examines similarities and differences among participants based on their region of origin in Africa.

2. Testing The Addition Of Abemaciclib To Olaparib For Women With Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to identify the side effects and best dose of abemaciclib when given together with olaparib in treating patients with ovarian cancer that responds at first to treatment with drugs that contain the metal platinum but then comes back within a certain period (recurrent platinum-resistant). Abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Adding abemaciclib to olaparib may work better to treat recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

3. A Study To Compare Two Surgical Procedures In Women With BRCA1 Mutations To Assess Reduced Risk Of Ovarian Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   This trial studies how well two surgical procedures (bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) work in reducing the risk of ovarian cancer for women with BRCA1 mutations. Bilateral salpingectomy involves the surgical removal of fallopian tubes, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy involves the surgical removal of both the fallopian tubes and ovaries. This study may help doctors determine if the two surgical procedures are nearly the same for ovarian cancer risk reduction for women with BRCA1 mutations.

4. A Study To Evaluate Azacitidine Plus Venetoclax Induction Chemotherapy To Treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients For T-cell Directed Immunotherapy

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate immune profile of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients receiving Venetoclax plus Azacitidine induction chemotherapy.

    

5. Randomized Phase II/III Trial Of Adjuvant Radiation Therapy With Cisplatin, Docetaxel-Cetuximab, Or Cisplatin-Atezolizumab In Pathologic High-Risk Squamous Cell Cancer Of The Head And Neck

   Rochester, Minn.

   This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well radiation therapy works when given together with cisplatin compared to docetaxel or cetuximab and docetaxel after surgery in treating patients with stage III-IV squamous cell head and neck cancer. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or transmit tumor killing molecules to them. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective when given with cisplatin, docetaxel, or cetuximab and docetaxel.

6. A Study To Evaluate Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy To Treat Patients With Pancreatic Cancer And Peritoneal Metastasis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to assess short-term morbidity and disease-free survival outcomes for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma with limited low volume peritoneal metastasis or positive peritoneal cytology undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

    

    

7. (Z)-Endoxifen For The Treatment Of Premenopausal Women With ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer

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

   This open-label research study is studying (Z)-endoxifen as a possible treatment for pre-menopausal women with ER+/HER2- breast cancer. (Z)-endoxifen belongs to a group of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators or "SERM", which help block estrogen from attaching to cancer cells. This study has two parts: a pharmacokinetic part and a treatment part.
   
   The PK part (how the body processes the drug) will enroll about 18 participants. All participants will take (Z)-endoxifen capsules daily. Twelve participants will be randomly assigned (50/50 chance) to take (Z)-endoxifen alone or (Z)-endoxifen with a monthly injection of goserelin a drug that temporarily stops the ovaries from making estrogen. This part will help determine the best dose of (Z)-endoxifen by measuring the drug levels in the blood and how long the body takes to remove it.
   
   The Treatment Cohort has been simplified to a single study arm (Z)-endoxifen + goserelin. Up to 20 participants will be enrolled that have a baseline Ki-67 ≤ 10% and 45 participants will be enrolled that have a baseline Ki-67\>10%.
   
   A key goal of the study is to see if (Z)-endoxifen can slow down or stop tumor growth as measured by a reduction in Ki-67 levels. Tumor tissue samples will be taken by breast biopsy after about 4 weeks of treatment to check levels of this biomarker. If the tumor shows signs of response, participants can continue treatment for up to 24 weeks or until they have surgery.
   
   Study participation is up to 6 months (24 weeks of treatment) followed by surgery and a one-month follow up visit.

8. Turkey Tail Mushroom For Treating Post-Menopausal Women With HER2-Negative ER-Positive Breast Cancer Undergoing Surgery

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This phase II trial tests how well turkey tail mushroom (TTM) works in treating post-menopausal women with HER2-negative, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer undergoing surgery. TTM is a common mushroom. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used for enhancing function and removing toxins, as well as for cancer, hepatitis, and infections. There is previous evidence of significant tumor shrinkage occurring in the 2-month window between diagnosis and surgery in women who have taken TTM. Giving TTM may be effective in treating post-menopausal women with HER2-negative, ER-positive breast cancer undergoing surgery.

9. A Study Of Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic And Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) In Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of APG-2575 as well as dose escalation and dose expansion stages.

10. Biorepository For Acute Leukemia Research

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this IRB protocol is to establish a specimen bank for research into acute leukemias. In particular, we plan to bank blood and bone marrow from patients with newly diagnoses or relapsed acute leukemia (AML or ALL) for future biological studies. By accruing samples both at initial diagnosis and at relapse, we will be able to investigate not only the biology of these marrow disorders, but also the changes that occur to render these disorders resistant to therapy. These activities are a first step toward identifying alternative therapies and subsequently beginning to personalize the therapy for these disorders.
