1. Aggressive Malignancy PDX (Avatar) and Cryopreservation Program

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the ability to successfully create numerous validated patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models from patient tumor specimens obtained at surgery/biopsy via the new Pathology/TRAG cryopreservation protocol, and to generate a large catalog and repertoire of previously unavailable histologically validated PDX.

    

2. Contrast-Enhanced MR Angiography Method in Comparison to Current Methods in Healthy Volunteers

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to look at a contrast-enhanced MR angiography method in comparison to current methods. The contrast-enhanced method can generate images with more spatial detail and can be used to view a much larger region of the patient’s body than is presently possible.

3. Serum Derived From Patient Donors With Paraneoplastic Pemphigus (PNP) to Be Used as a Positive Control for PNP Test

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to obtain serum from patients with certain rare immunobullous diseases (e.g., paraneoplastic pemphigus, laminin-332 pemphigoid) to replenish a source of positive control for our clinical testing (e.g., Mayo test codes PNPAB, RSBV).  

   • To verify the performance characteristics of anti-Paraneoplastic Pemphigus (PNP) serum and validate its use as a positive control in PNP test.  

   • Serum from patients with PNP will be used for a positive control for the PNP test upon successful validation. 

   Background:  

   For various rare immunobullous diseases, detection of a circulating autoantibody is necessary for accurate diagnosis. As a CLIA requirement, every clinical test run requires positive and negative controls for quality control.  Currently, we use either archived sera or commercially available sera from patients with known relevant immunobullous diseases as a structural integrity positive control of rat bladder or transfected cells, which are the substrates for these indirect immunofluorescence tests.  

   While we have no difficulty locating negative control sera, it is challenging to source positive control sera, due to the rarity of these diseases. Specifically, commercial positive control serum is no longer available for purchase and only limited archived material is available. 

4. Hematology Electronic Consultations (e-Consults) the Mayo Clinic Experience

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate hematology e-consults to determine their specific use, time to completion, advantages and disadvantages, perceptions from primary care physicians and specialists and economic impact. 

5. A Study of the Gene Make-up of Heart Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to help identify the biology of heart tumors and understand how and why they form.

6. Fertility Outcomes in Lymphoma Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objectives of this study are to analyze impact of radiation on fertility, to correlate the clinical outcome of fertility after chemotherapy and or radiation, and to evaluate the different modalities and cost/benefit of fertility preservation in lymphoma patients

   Lymphoma is a diversified disease with outcomes differing upon the types and subtypes of lymphoma as well as treatment modalities used. Fertility outcomes in patients treated with chemotherapy and/or radiation could vary and largely unknown.

7. Rituximab, Romidepsin, and Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of romidepsin and lenalidomide when combined with rituximab and to see how well this combination works in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned (recurrent) or did not respond to treatment (refractory). Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Romidepsin and lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving rituximab together with romidepsin and lenalidomide may be a better treatment for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

8. A Study To Evaluate Regulation Of The Metabolism Of T-Cells By The Tumor Microenvironment In Ovarian Cancer Metastasis

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to analyze how the immune cell repertoire changes during early and late metastasis which could shed light into how the tumor microenvironment in metastatic disease becomes tumor permissive.

9. A Study To Evaluate Immune-related Biomarkers For Pathological Response In Stage II-III HER2-positive Breast Cancer

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

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine vs. placebo in combination with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (TTT-DM1) in patients with stage II-III HER2+ breast cancer with residual disease post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and to evaluate the safety of multi-epitope HER2 vaccine given concurrently with T-DM1 maintenance therapy.

10. Testing The Addition Of An Anti-cancer Drug, Selinexor, To The Usual Chemotherapy Treatment (Temozolomide) For Brain Tumors That Have Returned After Previous Treatment

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

    The purpose of phase 1 of this trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of temozolomide followed by selinexor in recurrent glioblastoma patients as determined by dose-limiting toxicities [DLTs] and the total toxicity profile.

    The purpose of phase 2 of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of sequentially administering temozolomide and selinexor in recurrent glioblastoma as determined by progression-free survival [PFS].
