Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.553 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study of the Drugs Selumetinib Versus Carboplatin/Vincristine in Patients With Neurofibromatosis and Low-Grade Glioma Rochester, Minn. The pupose of this study is to evaluate whether or not selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment with carboplatine/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma (LGG), and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic pathway (vision nerves). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking some enzymes that low grade glioma tumor cells need for their growth. This results in killing tumor cells. Drugs used as chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and vincristine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether selumetinib works better in treating patients with NF1-associated low-grade glioma compared to standard therapy with carboplatin and vincristine. A Study to Evaluate Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and OCT Angiography (OCTA) Imaging In Supine Patient Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine if a relay lens and right angle mirror can be used in conjunction with an FDA-approved optical coherence tomography (OCT) unit to allow imaging in supine patients. A Study to Evaluate Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) and Immunophenotyping as Potential Biomarkers in Patients Undergoing Regional Nodal Irradiation for Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to estimate the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)detection rate and mutational load in breast cancer patients with indications for regional nodal irradiation. A Patient Access Program of Olaratumab for the Continued Treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcoma Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to continue to provide olaratumab to eligible patients who are currently receiving olaratumab commercially for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). 18F-DOPA PET in Sarcoma Patients Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to identify early response biomarkers from biological or functional imaging to better align with clinical trial endpoints and minimize sarcoma patient toxicities. A Phase 1 Study of Voruciclib in Subjects With B-Cell Malignancies or AML Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of voruciclib as monotherapy in subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies or AML, and in combination with venetoclax in subjects with relapsed or refractory AML after treatment with standard therapy. A Study of Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients with Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors that are Recurrent or Cannot Be Removed by Surgery Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess the side effects and best dose of a genetically engineered measles virus for treating patients who have a cancerous peripheral nerve sheath tumor that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). A Registry for the Collection and Maintenance of Biological Specimens for Breast Cancer Research Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this registry is to collect and maintain samples of breast tissue from women and men undergoing surgery for a breast related concern at Mayo Clinic Rochester, to create a biospecimen resource for the study of benign and cancerous breast conditions. Human Blood and Tissues Repository for Neuroscience Research Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to collect adult human blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain, and spine tissues/fluids at time of surgery in order to conduct future studies of the cellular mechanisms of tissue invasion utilized by brain and spine tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). Taletrectinib Phase 2 Global Study in ROS1 Positive NSCLC Rochester, Minn. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of taletrectinib (also known as AB-106 or DS-6051b) monotherapy in the treatment of advanced NSCLC.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
