Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. 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.  

2. Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) for Mitochondrial Myopathy Disorder Treatment

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is a phase II, single-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trail of the efficacy of Nicotinamide Riboside, in the treatment of adult-onset Mitochondrial Myopathy.

3. 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.

    

4. Study to Evaluate the Utility, Safety, Effectiveness, and Cost of Physical Therapy on Elective Spine Surgery Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility, safety, effectiveness, and cost of physical therapy on elective spine surgery patients.

5. A Study of Multicenter Outcomes in Pediatric Status Epilepticus

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a prospective status epilepticus registry among twelve tertiary care pediatric hospitals in the United States focused on standardizing status epilepticus outcome assessments.

6. Innovative Trial for Understanding the Impact of Targeted Therapies in NF2

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to test multiple experimental therapies simultaneously in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) with associated progressive tumors of vestibular schwannomas (VS), non-vestibular schwannomas (non-VS), meningiomas, and ependymomas. This Master Study is being conducted as a "basket" study that may allow people with multiple tumor types associated with NF2 to receive new drugs throughout this study. Embedded within the Master Study are individual drug substudies. - Investigational Drug Sub-study A: Brigatinib.

7. A Study Evaluating the Use of 48-hour Ambulatory EEG Monitoring in Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize and study the relationship of the clinical risk factors and predictors of seizures and epilepsy in patients with Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD) using a 48-hour CAA-EEG.

8. 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.

9. Gemini Study to Evaluate the Integration of Cancer Genetic Testing into a Cancer Clinical Practice at Mayo Clinic at Arizona

   Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of genetic mutations in cancer patients from various ethnic populations seeking care at Mayo Clinic cancer clinics.

10. Metastatic Tumor Research and Outcomes Network

    Rochester, Minn.

    The registry aims to collect patient information such as patient demographics, co-morbidities, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic data, as well as information on adverse events and HRQOL outcomes specific for patients with metastatic spine tumor(s).
