Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. A Study to Evaluate the Safety of the Goldilocks Procedure with Implant-Based Reconstruction

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

   The purpose of this study is to assess outcomes, satisfaction and aesthetics of two different breast reconstruction techniques (Goldilocks alone, and Goldilocks with Implant-Based Reconstruction) and compare its safety, patient satisfaction, aesthetic evaluation and complications.

2. IL-2 plus FOLFOX and Nivolumab for Treatment of Peritoneal Metastases

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reduction in the peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) after completion of the study treatment.

3. A Study to Assess Dynamic Changes in Plasma Proteome to Identify Early Detection and Treatment Response Biomarkers for HGSOC

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study aims to identify candidate High Grade Serous Cancer (HGSC) early detection and chemotherapy treatment response biomarkers.  For the purpose of this study we define high grade serous cancers to include invasive cancers arising in the ovary and/or fallopian tubes (FT).  Using mass spectrometry we will deeply profile and quantitate dynamic changes in the plasma proteome and N-gylcocapture sub-proteome that occur as a consequence of surgical debulking and platinum-based chemotherapy.  

4. A Study to Evaluate Personalized Molecular Marker and Immunoprofiling to Transform Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treatment

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether profiling aggressive tumors for molecular alterations, together with drug testing in patient-derived 3D models, can provide crucial information for the identification of specific therapeutic targets. Additionally, immunoprofiling of microcancer model systems is crucially necessary data to enable prediction of immunotherapeutic efficacy. We postulate that our innovative approach will establish much needed immune microenvironment information and facilitate the identification of specific sensitivity profiles and biomarker signatures that correlate response to targeted agents (or combinations) with particular tumor profiles.

5. GENetic Risk Estimation of Breast Cancer Prior to Decisions on Preventive Therapy Uptake, Risk Reducing Surgery or Intensive Imaging Surveillance

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

   The primary aim of this study is to determine if the addition of an individual polygenic risk score (PRS) in addition to the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT) or Tyrer-Cuzick (IBIS) score will aid women at risk of breast cancer in making a decision to take (or not take) medications to prevent breast cancer.

6. Exploring Mechanisms of Action and Resistance of Therapeutic Agents in Patients with B-cell Malignancies

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This study is being performed to understand the causes of drug resistance and to improve the treatment options for patients diagnosed with B-cell cancers. We aim to identify the reasons why certain therapies work and others don’t and as result- develop new treatments for blood cancers.

7. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole Graded Administration in Oncology, Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant, and Solid Organ Transplant Patients with a History of Sulfonamide Allergy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The aim of this study is to study the efficacy and safety of our short and long one-day protocols for TMP-SMX graded administration in hematologic malignancy, hematopoietic stem cell transplant, and solid organ transplant patients.    

8. A Study to Evaluate if New Tests (“biomarkers”) of Blood, Stool, Pancreas Cyst Fluid, or Pancreas Juice can be Used to Diagnose Malignant or Pre-malignant Changes in People with Pancreas Cysts

   Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this protocol is to collect biospecimens in order to prospectively evaluate diagnostic and prognostic performance of MDMs for detection of advanced neoplasia in pancreatic cysts. 

9. Spinal Cord Stimulation to Treat Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to understand pain outcomes in patients with cancer who have Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN).

10. De-Escalation of Breast Radiation Trial for Hormone Sensitive, HER-2 Negative, Oncotype Recurrence Score Less Than or Equal to 18 Breast Cancer (DEBRA)

    La Crosse, Wis., Mankato, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Albert Lea, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether breast conservation surgery and endocrine therapy results in a non-inferior rate of invasive or non-invasive ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) compared to breast conservation with breast radiation and endocrine therapy.
