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

1. A Study to Evaluate Contouring Organs at Risk for Treatment Planning

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

   The purpose of this study is to determine:  if the artificial intelligence (AI)-generated results are less arduous than manual tracing by radiation oncologist, and the non-inferiority of the quality of AI vs. manual tracing.  These aims will be evaluated in a clinical environment to investigate the impact of an AI algorithm on the clinical workflow. 

   Radiotherapy treatment planning requires precise calculations of radiation exposure, not only for the target volumes (tissue containing malignancy), but of nearby organs-at-risk (OARs), in which the exposure needs to be minimized. Manual segmentation of these organs is a time-consuming task with high interobserver variability. Producing these segmentations automatically will reduce the time required for treatment planning and improve the interobserver variability.

2. ACT-MBC: A Study of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) (ACT-MBC)

   Rochester, Minn., Mankato, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., Albert Lea, Minn.

   Collection of blood to track serial circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in subjects with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Study will also collect data from investigators are Mayo Clinic and the Mayo Clinic Health Systems to determine effectiveness of the proposed process.

3. A Study to Detect Cancers Through Elective Plasma-based CancerSEEK Testing

   Rochester, Minn., Mankato, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis., Albert Lea, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to obtain clinically characterized, whole blood specimens from participants with new or suspected diagnosis of (cancer subjects) and from participants who do not have a diagnosis of cancer (healthy subjects) to develop and refine assays for cancer in the blood

   The primary objective of this study is to obtain clinically characterized, whole blood specimens from cancer and healthy subjects to develop and refine assays for cancer in the blood.

    

4. Pre-op Pembro + Radiation Therapy in Breast Cancer (P-RAD)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this trilal is to study a combination of neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT), immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy for lymph node-positive, triple negative (TN) or hormone receptor positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.

5. Phase 1/2 Study of MRTX1719 in Solid Tumors With MTAP Deletion

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

   The purpose of this study is to to characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of MRTX1719 in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies with MTAP (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase) deletion.

6. A Study to Evaluate Circulating Cell Free Tumor DNA as a Biomarker in Sarcoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of ctDNA detection in patients with advanced translocation-associated sarcomas.

7. DSC-MRI In Measuring Relative Cerebral Blood Volume For Early Response To Bevacizumab In Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma

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

   This phase II trial studies how well dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) works in measuring relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) for early response to bevacizumab in patients with glioblastoma that has come back. DSC-MRI may help evaluate changes in the blood vessels within the cancer to determine a patient?s response to treatment.

8. Changes in Blood Components in Patients with Ovarian Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assemble a collection of serial plasma biospecimens from women with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer for future research projects to identify changes in levels of various plasma components that occur during the course of ovarian cancer, including changes that occur with debulking surgery, chemotherapy, disease relapse, and subsequent therapy.

9. A Study Evaluating Temozolomide vs. Temozolomide and Olaparib for Advanced Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine how well the addition of olaparib to the usual treatment, temozolomide, works in treating patients with neuroendocrine cancer (pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma) that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, 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. Giving olaparib with temozolomide may shrink or stabilize the cancer in patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma better than temozolomide alone.

10. A Study to Analyze NMS-03305293 and Temozolomide in Adult Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma

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

    The objectives of this study are to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of NMS-03305293 in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) in patients with diffuse gliomas at first relapse (Phase I),  and to determine the antitumor effectiveness of the combination of NMS-03305293 and TMZ in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type glioblastoma at first relapse as measured by the 6-month Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate (Phase II).
