Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Leveraging Methylated DNA Markers (MDMs) In The Detection Of Endometrial Cancer And Cervical Cancer: A Phase II Clinical Study

   La Crosse, Wis., Rochester, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a pan-gynecologic cancer detection test using gynecologic (unique endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer) cancer-specific methylated DNA markers and high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) detected in vaginal fluid and/or plasma.

    

2. A Study of Women undergoing Mammogram Screening at Mountain Park Clinic

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The goal of this research is to identify risk profiles of women (with particular emphasis on Hispanic women) for breast cancer based on family history, breast density and other factors known to impact risk such as age, weight, age at menarche, age at birth of first child, etc.

3. Human Blood and Tissues Repository for Neuroscience Research

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to collect adult human blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain, and spine tissues/fluids at time of surgery in order to conduct future studies of the cellular mechanisms of tissue invasion utilized by brain and spine tumors of the central nervous system (CNS).

4. A Registry For The Collection And Maintenance Of Biological Specimens For Breast Cancer Research

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this registry is to collect and maintain samples of breast tissue from women and men undergoing surgery for a breast related concern at Mayo Clinic Rochester,  to create a biospecimen resource for the study of benign and cancerous breast conditions.

5. Testing The Use Of Chemotherapy After Surgery For High-Risk Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery in treating patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery could prevent or delay the return of cancer in patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

6. MC1733, Phase I Trial Of Intratumoral Administration Of A Measles Virus Derivative Expressing The Helicobacter Pylori Neutrophil-activating Protein (NAP) (MV-s-NAP) In Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   To determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of intratumoral administration of an Edmonston strain measeles virus genetically engineered to express NAP (MV-s-NAP) in patients with metastatic breast cancer; to determine the safety and toxicity of on-time and serial administration of MV-s-NAP in patients with metastic breast cancer. 

7. A Study To Evaluate Immune-related Biomarkers For Pathological Response In Stage II-III HER2-positive Breast Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine vs. placebo in combination with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (TTT-DM1) in patients with stage II-III HER2+ breast cancer with residual disease post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and to evaluate the safety of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine given concurrently with T-DM1 maintenance therapy.

8. Phase I/​II Study Of [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-R2 In PSMA-positive Prostate Cancer, With/​Without Prior 177Lu-PSMA RLT

   Rochester, Minn.

   This is an open label, phase I/II, multi-center study in adult participants with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have received prior anti-cancer treatment and have a positive 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET scan. The purpose of this study is to learn if the study drug, [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-R2, is safe and tolerable, and has anti-tumor activity in treated patients.

9. Study Of Carboplatin And Mirvetuximab Soravtansine In First-Line Treatment Of Patients Receiving Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Advanced-Stage Ovarian, Fallopian Tube Or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The proposed study design is a single arm Phase II trial to document the feasibility of carboplatin-mirvetuximab - in patients with advanced-stage EOC. Patients with biopsy confirmed, newly diagnosed, advanced-stage serous EOC deemed appropriate for NACT will have their tumors evaluated for FRα receptor over-expression via a centralized immunohistochemical assay (IHC) and identified as appropriate for study participation if IHC staining is PS2+ in \>75% of cells (40% of all serous patients). Eligible patients will receive NACT with one cycle of carboplatin, followed by mirvetuximab + carboplatin (if FRα +) every 21 days for three cycles prior to interval cytoreductive surgery (iCRS). A total of 70 will be included in the study. Following completion of 4 cycles total of NACT and after allowing for appropriate recovery of cycle # 4, patients eligible for surgery, will undergo an iCRS. Patients will then complete 3 more cycles of mirvetuximab + carboplatin for a total of 7 intended cycles of treatment. It is up to the treating physician if they want to add bevacizumab to the last 2 cycles or use any type of maintenance therapy. The decision to add bevacizumab or use maintenance therapy does not need to be made upfront. Patients will sign a screening consent form prior to tissue biopsy. If a patient is found to be FRα negative, their treating physician can select the treatment they deem appropriate and the patient will be declared a screen failure. Patients with BRCA mutations are not excluded from this trial and are allowed to receive standard of care maintenance therapy including bevacizumab and/or PARP inhibitors.

10. Optical Fusion Trans-Perineal Grid

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate and assess a new perineal access tool to enable image guided prostate interventions by Clear Guide Medical in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic.
