Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Testicular Tissue Cryopreservation in Children

   Rochester, Minn.

   This protocol is being designed to offer testicular tissue cryopreservation to male pediatric patients (0-17 years of age) with fertility threatening medical diagnoses or facing surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy that may cause loss of reproductive potential.

2. A Study to Evaluate Regional Radiotherapy in Biomarker Low-Risk Node Positive Breast Cancer

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on low-risk breast cancer receiving usual care that includes regional radiation therapy, with receiving no regional radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if not giving this type of radiation treatment works as well at preventing breast cancer from coming back.

3. A Study to Evaluate Thymoma Recurrence

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate thymoma recurrence rates in patients who underwent thymectomy.

4. 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.

    

5. Actinium Therapy For Late-stage Aggressive Sarcomas

   Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of drug \[Ac225\]RTX-2358 and the diagnostic imaging agent \[Cu64\]LNTH-1363S. Additionally Ratio Therapeutics will learn if \[Ac225\]RTX-2358 drug is effective in treating advanced sarcoma.
   
   The main questions the study aims to answer in Phase/Part 1 of the trial are:
   
   * Is \[Ac225\]RTX-2358 tolerable or does it cause toxicities (medical problems) in patients.
   * What is the most tolerable dose of \[Ac225\]RTX-2358
   * Does the treatment show effectiveness on advanced sarcoma
   
   Participants will:
   
   * Take drug \[Ac225\]RTX-2358 once every 8 weeks (4 cycle target; 6 cycle maximum) over a period of 12 months
   * Visit the clinic three times for the first week of cycle one, then once a week for the remaining 7 weeks of cycle 1 for check-ups and tests.
   * For cycles 2-6: patient will visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests
   * Remain in long term follow-up for a period of four additional years

6. Low Dose Aspirin for the Prevention of Postpartum Related Breast Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to test whether a short course of aspirin can change the markers of inflammation in patients who have a benign finding within five years of their last pregnancy, and possibly reduce their risk of future breast cancer.

7. Tumor Treating Fields For The Treatment Of Leptomeningeal Metastases Of The Spine In Patients With Breast Or Lung Cancer

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This clinical trial evaluates the safety and feasibility of tumor treating fields (TTF) in the treatment of spinal leptomeningeal disease in patients with breast or lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Patients wear the portable Novo TTF-200T device that produces electric fields to target areas on the body to stop the growth of tumor cells. The information from this study will help researchers develop a better treatment for leptomeningeal metastases in the future.

8. 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., La Crosse, Wis., Mankato, Minn., Albert Lea, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Eau Claire, Wis.

   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).

9. A Registry Study for the Long-Term Outcomes of Radiation Therapy

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this long term registry study is to collect and analyze information from patients being treated with various forms of radiation therapy to improve the treatment of future patients.

10. 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.
