Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. 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.

2. A Study to Evaluate Tazemetostat Combined with Lenalidomide Plus Rituximab in Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tazemetostat in combination with R2 in subjects with Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma (R/R FL), who have completed at least 1 prior systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or chemoimmunotherapy.

3. Brain Tumor Repository

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The main objective of the Brain Tumor Repository is to allow access to coded patient data by researchers both inside and outside of the Mayo Clinic system so that important research questions can be answered.  

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. A Study to Explore Tumor Biology in Metastatic Esophageal and Gastric Cancer Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to explore various biomarkers in the post-treatment tissue of patients who have responded to cancer therapy and compare it to the biopsy performed prior to cancer treatment.

6. 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., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   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).

7. 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.

8. A Study to Evaluate MRTX849 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors with KRAS G12C Mutation

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

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of MRTX849 in patients having advanced solid tumor malignancies with KRAS G12C mutation.

9. A Study to Develop Liquid Biopsy for Pediatric Brain Tumor Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to confirm detection of the H3K27M mutation in patient biofluids (CSF, blood, urine, saliva) and uncover the molecular histone (alkaline protein) profile of H3K trimethylation and H3S phosphorylation in the circulating nucleosomes isolated from the biofluids of patients with H3K27M tumors.

10. Dietary and Topical Magnesium Replacement or Supplementation in Patients with Lymphoma

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this research study is to find out if being on a magnesium rich diet and using a magnesium lotion on the skin will help to keep the magnesium blood level in a normal range or increase the magnesium level if it is slightly below the normal range or in the low end of the normal range. We also want to learn about the side effects and quality of life when patients are receiving different forms of magnesium.  

    Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion is an over-the-counter lotion that can be bought at a drug store or on the internet. The use of this lotion is considered investigational since it hasn’t been studied in lymphoma cancer patients with low magnesium levels before; however, the FDA is allowing us to use this lotion in this research study.
