Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Chemotherapy With or Without Immunotherapy for Peritoneal Mesothelioma

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this trial is to compare the usual treatment alone to using immunotherapy (atezolizumab) plus the usual treatment in treating patients with peritoneal mesothelioma. The usual treatment consists of surgery or chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and pemetrexed, 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. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving atezolizumab with usual treatment may work better than usual treatment alone.

2. Oligomets pancreas SBRT

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The primary endpoint for this study will compare PFS between SBRT + standard chemotherapy vs. standard chemotherapy alone in patients with oligometastatic pancreatic cancer. PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first of either disease progression or death from any cause, where disease progression will be determined based on RECIST 1.1 criteria and will be documented at each enrolling site with no central review planned.

3. Ommaya Placement for Biomarker Collection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of intra-operative Ommaya Reservoir placement during a clinically indicated tumor surgery in order to facilitate a longitudinal access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for analysis of exploratory and future tumor biomarkers for individualized monitoring.

    

    

4. A Study to Compare Letrozole With or Without Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Stage II-IV Ovarian or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

   Rochester, Minn., Albert Lea, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well letrozole, with or without paclitaxel and carboplatin, works in treating patients with stage II-IV low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary or peritoneum. Letrozole is an enzyme inhibitor that lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body which in turn may stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, 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. It is not yet known whether giving letrozole alone or in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin works better in treating patients with low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary or peritoneum compared to paclitaxel and carboplatin without letrozole.

5. A Study to Detect Pancreatic Cancer Using Circulating Tumor Markers

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to select and validate candidate methylated DNA markers (MDMs) (individually and in combined panels) for the detection of pancreative ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The potential complementary value of mutant KRAS and CA19-9 will also be evaluated.

6. A Study of Biomarkers to Predict Cancer Therapy-related Cardiotoxicity

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

   The primary purpose of this study is to collect Biospecimens from patients who developed chemotherapy related cardiac toxicity (CRCT) and patients who are at a high risk for developing CRCT identified prior to the onset of therapy.

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

   Jacksonville, Fla.

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

    

8. Open Nipple Sparing Mastectomy (NSM)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the complication rate of prophylactic open NSM procedures through 42 days follow-up from retrospective chart review at the same investigators and institutions as those included under IDE Study protocol G190065/A001.

9. YH001 Plus Envafolimab With or Without Doxorubicin in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Sarcoma

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of YH001 when given with envafolimab dosed at 600 mg SC every 3 weeks in patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma who are refractory to or intolerant to other available therapies. Also, to evaluate safety and tolerability and determine RP2D of YH001 in combination with envafolimab dosed at 600 mg SC every 3 weeks and doxorubicin dosed at 75 mg/m2 every three weeks in patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma who have not received doxorubicin or checkpoint inhibitors and are refractory to or intolerant to other available therapies.

10. (Z)-Endoxifen for the Treatment of Premenopausal Women With ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer

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

    The purpose of this study is to identify a (Z)-endoxifen dose that achieves (Z)-endoxifen steady-state plasma concentrations (Css) between 500-1000 ng/mL. Dosing will begin with the (Z)-endoxifen 40 mg/day dose and may additionally explore either a lower (20 mg/day) or higher (80 mg/day) dose level based on (Z)-endoxifen Css as well as toxicity.
