1. A Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of Intraoperative Microdialysis (tissue sampling) during Neurosurgery for Central Nervous System Malignancies

   Rochester, Minn.

   Intraoperative Microdialysis During Neurosurgery for Central Nervous System Malignancies

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Breath Condensate of Lung Cancer Patients and Healthy Controls to Measure RNA Species in Exhaled Breath Condensate

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop tests for early detection of lung cancer or lung fibrosis based on multiomics analyses of patients’ breath condensates.  

5. Innovative CAR-TIL immunotherapy against melanoma

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a revolutionary cellular immunotherapy strategy that has transformed the treatment of B cell malignancies by engineering T cells to recognize B cell specific tumor markers; however, attempts to treat solid tumors with CAR T-cells have identified unique challenges that have rendered CAR T cells less effective against these tumors. Conventional CARs are designed to target tumor-associated antigens, but antigenic heterogeneity and the variable nature of surface antigen expression provide escape mechanisms for solid tumors from CAR T-cell attack. [1, 2] The solid tumor stroma acts as an immunosuppressive cloud that impedes the homing of peripheral CAR T-cells into the tumor microenvironment (TME). The hostile TME can also drive CAR T-cells to functional exhaustion and metabolic dysfunction, thus blunting the therapeutic efficacy of CAR T-cells.[3] Oncolytic viruses or radiation that generate local inflammation in the TME have been shown to promote T cell homing and infiltration [4] but do not address the exhaustion of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). The PD-1/PD-L1 cascade allows tumors to evade the immune system by suppressing T cell function within the TME. [5, 6] An ideal adoptive cellular therapy must possess the ability to not only return to the site of the tumor but must also retain cytotoxic potential after a recognition event. We present here a CAR design that allows PD-1 to recognize PD-L1 on the tumor; however, the intracellular CAR design is one that results in T cell activation as opposed to inhibition. We hypothesize that targeting melanoma with a PD-1 (MC9324) CAR TIL therapy would capitalize on the tumor homing machinery of the TIL to drive the CAR TIL to the tumor where engagement of the PD-1 domain of the CAR with PD-L1 on the tumor cell would result in T cell cytotoxic killing.

6. Study to Evaluate 99mTc-MIP-1404 SPECT/CT Imaging in Men With Biopsy Proven Low-Grade Prostate Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   99mTc-MIP-1404 is a radioactive diagnostic imaging agent indicated for imaging men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer whose biopsy indicates a histopathologic Gleason Score of ≤ 3+4 severity who are candidates for active surveillance and are undergoing voluntary radical prostatectomy (RP) [Cohort A] or routine prostate biopsy [Cohort B]. This Phase 3 study is designed to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of 99mTc-MIP-1404 SPECT/CT imaging to correctly identify subjects with previously unknown clinically significant prostate cancer.

7. A Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Drug/Body Interactions, Biological and Clinical Activity of MSB0011359C (M7824) in Metastatic or Locally Advanced Solid Tumors

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, drug/body interactions, and the biological and clinical activities of MSB0011359C (M7824) at different dose levels given to patients who have metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors.

8. A Study to Validate DNA Methylation Markers for Universal and Site-specific Guided Cancer Detection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to validate candidate universal and site-specific methylated DNA markers (MDMs) in DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded primary tumor and control specimens.

9. 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.

    

10. 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.
