1. Ascorbic Acid and Combination Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoma or CCUS

   Rochester, Minn., Mankato, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis.

   The purpose of this study is to examine how well ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy work in treating patients with lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to therapy. Ascorbic acid may make cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ascorbic acid and combination chemotherapy may work better at treating lymphoma.

   In the Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance (CCUS) Cohort D, we want to find out if ascorbic acid will improve blood counts so fewer transfusions  are required and there is a less likely chance the patient will develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or other related myeloid malignancies.

2. Specialty Compared to Oncology Delivered Palliative Care for Treating Acute Myeloid Leukemia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether primary palliative care is an alternative strategy to specialty palliative care for improving quality of life, symptoms, mood, coping, and end of life outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

3. A Study About How Platelets Adhere to the Blood von Willebrand Factor in Healthy Adults

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to learn about how platelets adhere to the blood von Willebrand factor and how known clinical mutations that result in bleeding affect this process. 

4. Real-time Disease Monitoring of Metastatic Breast Cancer to Optimize Treatment

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to identify subtype-specific signatures for breast cancer using genomic positioning of plasma DNA fragments, and to validate changes in ctDNA levels as a biomarker for treatment monitoring in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

5. Circulating Tumor Nucleic Acids to Monitor Treatment Response in Metastatic Melanoma Patients

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This project will investigate whether the analysis of nucleic acids circulating in the blood from tumors can allow real-time monitoring of treatment response to targeted therapy and immunotherapy for patients who have stage IV metastatic melanoma.

6. A Study to Collect Medical and Personal Histories, Blood and/or Tumor Tissue Samples from Patients Who are Long-term Survivors of Lung Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect medical and personal histories, blood and/or tumor tissue samples from patients who are long-term survivors of lung cancer. This study will help us to develop better ways to provide care and advice, develop better treatments to minimize long-term side effects, and improve the quality of life and outcome of lung cancer patients. This study will also help us to learn whether certain genes (inherited factors from your parents) increase the risk of developing or dying of lung cancer.

7. 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.

8. A Study of Intratumoral Injection of Autologous Dendritic Cells after High-Dose Conformal External Beam Radiotherapy in Patients with Unresectable Liver Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of the pilot study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an autologous dendritic cells (DC) vaccine delivered by intra-tumoral injection in patients with primary liver cancer treated with high-dose conformal external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).

   The primary purpose of the phase II study is to estimate the progression-free survival rate at 2 years post-registration to see if treatment is efficacious compared to historical data.

9. Oncolytic Adenovirus Coding For TNFa And IL2 (TILT-123) With Pembrolizumab Or Pembrolizumab And Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin As Treatment For Ovarian Cancer. (PROTA)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety [including dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)] of the combination therapy of TILT-123 and pembrolizumab in patients with platinum resistant or refractory ovarian cancer.

10. BiCaZO: A Study Combining Two Immunotherapies (Cabozantinib and Nivolumab) to Treat Patients With Advanced Melanoma or Squamous Cell Head and Neck Cancer, an immunoMATCH Pilot Study

    Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of molecular characterization based on tumor mutational burden (TMB) for participant stratification, as assessed by the proportion of participants with less than or equal to a 21-day turnaround time for biopsy results in Stage I of the study. Also, to evaluate the feasibility of molecular characterization based on TMB and gene expression profiling (GEP) (for TIS - tumor inflammation signature) for stratification in the overall study (Stage I and Stage II). Additinoally, to evaluate the effectiveness by overall response rate (ORR – defined as confirmed and unconfirmed partial responses plus complete responses) of cabozantinib plus nivolumab in each disease cohort, both across and within tumor biomarker subgroups.
