Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Immune Response To Antigens

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to sequence patient germline and tumor samples, and nominate top neoantigen candidates using an in-house developed bioinformatics pipeline, and to validate the neoantigen candidates by laboratory assays using patient peripheral blood immune cells or serum.

2. 3D Ultrasound For The Imaging Of Axillary Lymph Nodes In Patients With Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The overall goal of this project is to study a new 3D ultrasound imaging technology for evaluation of axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer.

    

3. A Survey of Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma Patient Environment

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the association of environmental, geographic factors, as well as presence of comorbidities associated with hypoxia with development of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGL), location of PPGL, and number of PPGL.

    

4. Validation Of DNA Methylation Markers For Universal And Site-specific Guided Cancer Detection, VANGUARD Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study explores the potential value of a new blood test approach for early detection of cancer.

5. A Study To Compare Standard Chemotherapy To Therapy With CPX-351 And/or Gilteritinib To To Treat Newly-diagnosed AML With Or Without FLT3 Mutations

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare standard chemotherapy to therapy with CPX-351 and/or gilteritinib for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia with or without FLT3 mutations. 

6. Cell, Serum, and Buccal Bank for Patients with Chronic Myeloid Disorders and Acute Leukemia

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is being done to store blood, buccal (cheek) cells, genetic material including DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), and bone marrow so that they can be used for laboratory studies that may contribute to finding the causes of disease and factors that may determine disease progression and treatment response.

7. Personalized Neoantigen Peptide-Based Vaccine In Combination With Pembrolizumab For Treatment Of Advanced Solid Tumors

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This phase I/II trial tests the safety and tolerability of an experimental personalized vaccine when given by itself and with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The experimental vaccine is designed target certain proteins (neoantigens) on individuals' tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving the personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccine with pembrolizumab may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

8. Feasibility Of Intraoperative Microdialysis During Neurosurgery For Central Nervous System Malignancies

   Rochester, Minn.

   This clinical trial evaluates the use of microdialysis catheters during surgery to collect biomarkers, and studies the feasibility of intraoperative microdialysis during neurosurgery for central nervous system malignancies. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of disease state. Information collected in this study may help doctors to develop new strategies to better diagnose, monitor, and treat brain tumors.

9. Tebentafusp Regimen Versus Investigator's Choice In Previously Treated Advanced Melanoma (TEBE-AM)

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tebentafusp-based regimens, including tebentafusp monotherapy and in combination with anti-PD1 vs investigator choice (including clinical trials of investigational agents, salvage therapy per local standard of care \[SoC\], best supportive care \[BSC\] on protocol survivor follow up) in patients with advanced non-ocular melanoma.

10. A Study To Evaluate VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS To Treat Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myleoma, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Or T-cell Lymphoma

    Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus carrying the human NIS and IFN beta genes (VSV-hIFNbeta-sodium iodide symporter [NIS]) in treating patients with multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, or T-cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. A virus, called VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS, which has been changed in a certain way, may be able to kill cancer cells without damaging normal cells.
