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. Tissue and Blood Registry for Individuals with Liver and Biliary Tumors Jacksonville, Fla. This study will collect and store samples of tissue and blood for current and future research studies on Liver and Biliary Tumors. Assessing Breast Cancer Risk Perception in Hispanic, Black, and Black Hispanic Women Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to understand how women of color from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds conceptualize their current and lifetime risk for breast cancer (BC) and to identify which risk factors most resonate with perceptions of BC risk. A Study to Explore if it is Possible to Successfully Obtain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Imaging and Data While Patients Undergo Brain Surgery Jacksonville, Fla. The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of successfully obtaining intra-operative OCT imaging and data during standard brain surgery. A Study to Define Axl Expression Level in Skin Biopsy Specimens from Patients with Skin Cancer in Relation to Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to define the presence and role of Axl in the risk of skin cancers in patients with CLL as well as non-CLL patients. A Study to Evaluate Maximizing Anti-PD-1 Therapy By Monitoring T Cell Responses In Melanoma, Lung and Other Cancer Types Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to monitor T cell responses from patients with advanced cancer who are being treated with an anti-PD (programmed death)-1 monoclonal antibody, and compare them with clinical outcomes. Needle-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy Guided For Lung Cancer Diagnosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to compare per pass diagnostic yield of different numbers of sequential needle passes (ROSE) and the procedure duration needed to obtain a contributive TBNA sample with ROBOTIC-guided TBNA to that of ROBOTIC-guided nCLE in PPNs. Establishment of Preclinical Models from Patients with Gynecological Malignancies Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. Effective treatments for recurrent gynecological cancer are lacking, and there is a need for novel therapeutic options. One of the barriers to improving outcomes in this subgroup of patients is the paucity of tumor models that can mimic patient characteristics to study novel therapies. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models are considerate the most representative pre-clinical model of human cancer, recapitulating the key characteristics of the original patient tumor. Other preclincal models to test drug effcicacy includes ex vivo 3D culture and 2D culture systems. In this study, we make and test preclinical models of gynecological cancers (ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, uterine, vulvar, cervix, and vaginal) of any histologic subtype using surplus tumor specimens obtained at the time of routine tumor biopsy procedure, or clinically-indicated surgery. 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. 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. Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients Who Have Participated in Children's Oncology Group Studies Rochester, Minn. This clinical trial is studying long-term follow-up in patients who are or have participated in Children's Oncology Group studies. Developing a way to track patients enrolled in Children's Oncology Group studies will help doctors gather long-term follow-up information and may help the study of cancer in the future.

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.
