Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.552 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. A Study to Detect Prostate Cancer Extraprostatic Extension with Slip Interface Imaging Determined Tumor Slip Length Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the perfomance a MR-based imaging technology (named Slip Interface Imaging) in predicting extraprostatic extension in prostate cancers. A Study to Establish a Living Breast Organoid Biobank for Translational Research Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. Researchers at Mayo Clinic are developing a Biobank of adult stem cell-rich breast organoids, a new research resource to facilitate normal and cancer stem cell research. Subjects in the Biobank will provide samples of excess breast tissue, complete a health questionnaire, and allow access to medical records now and in the future. The Biobank serves as a library for researchers; instead of having to look for volunteers for each new project, researchers can use samples from the Biobank as well as share information already collected. Alternate Doses and Dosing Schedules of Belantamab Mafodotin for the Treatment of Triple-Class Recurrent and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to assess the 24-week grade 3/4 keratopathy-free rate of an alternative dose/dosing schedule for belantamab mafodotin in patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM). 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 of Healthy Donor Volunteers to Provide Blood components Via Leukapheresis for In vitro Dendritic Cell Investigations Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to collect blood cells as a healthy donor for use in research studies, which will focus especially on using the immune system’s cells to fight infection and cancer. Blood cells collected as part of participation in this Research Donor Program will be used strictly for laboratory experiments and will not be used for transfusion back into human beings. 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. International Penile Advanced Cancer Trial (International Rare Cancers Initiative Study) Rochester, Minn. This is an international phase III trial, with a Bayesian design, incorporating two sequential randomisations. It efficiently examines a series of questions that routinely arise in the sequencing of treatment. The study design has evolved from lengthy international consultation that has enabled us to build consensus over which questions arise from current knowledge and practice. It will enable potential randomisation for the majority of patients with inguinal lymph node metastases and will provide data to inform future clinical decisions. InPACT-neoadjuvant patients are stratified by disease burden as assessed by radiological criteria. Treatment options are then defined according to the disease burden strata. Treatment is allocated by randomisation. Patients may be allocated to one of three initial treatments: A. standard surgery (ILND); B. neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by standard surgery (ILND); or C. neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by standard surgery (ILND). After ILND, patients are defined as being at low or high risk of recurrence based on histological interpretation of the ILND specimen. Patients at high risk of relapse are eligible for InPACT-pelvis, where they are randomised to either: P. prophylactic PLND Q. no prophylactic PLND A Study to Evaluate Bleomycin, Carboplatin, Etoposide, or Cisplatin in Treating Pediatric and Adult Patients with Germ Cell Tumors Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, or cisplatin work in treating pediatric and adult patients with germ cell tumors. Active surveillance may help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors after their tumor is removed. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, 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. A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of ALLO-501A CAR T Cell Therapy in Adults with Relapsed/ Refractory Large B Cell Lymphoma Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of ALLO-501A to treat patients with relapsed/refractory large B cell lymphoma (LBCL) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

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.
