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. Studying the Effect of Denosumab on Preventing Breast Cancer in Women With a BRCA1 Germline Mutation Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this trial is to compare denosumab to placebo for the prevention of breast cancer in women with a BRCA1 germline mutation. A germline mutation is an inherited gene change which, in the BRCA1 gene, is associated with an increased risk of breast and other cancers. Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody that is used to treat bone loss in order to reduce the risk of bone fractures in healthy people, and to reduce new bone growths in cancer patients whose cancer has spread to their bones. Research has shown that denosumab may also reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in women carrying a BRCA1 germline mutation. Outcomes Database to prospectivelY aSSEss the Changing TherapY Landscape in Renal Cell Carcinoma (ODYSSEY RCC) Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine distinct patterns of change in the quality of life and symptom burden in mRCC patients receiving therapy. A Study to Evaluate the Role of Gut Microbiome in Cancer Therapy Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to correlate gut microbiome with specific cancer diagnoses and the clinical response (effectiveness), and adverse effects of cancer therapy (single or multiple) and stem cell transplant. IL-2 plus FOLFOX and Nivolumab for Treatment of Peritoneal Metastases Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reduction in the peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) after completion of the study treatment. A Study to Analyze Symptoms and Quality of Life Issues in Women Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the lived experiences of symptoms and quality of life issues experienced by women with metastatic breast cancer. A Study to Evaluate Visually Inspired Patient Education Material on Willingness to Pursue Radiation Therapy Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to measure how patient anxiety changes using a validated patient reported outcome measure, to measure radiotherapy completion rates in the American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) community, and to measure patient perception of information received using a validated patient reported outcome measure. NOLA (NeuWave Observational Liver Ablation) Registry Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to create a registry that follows patients for a total of 5 years from the date of the first liver ablation procedure with the NEUWAVE Microwave Ablation System. ALPN-202 With PD-1 Inhibition in Advanced Malignancies Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to evaluate ALPN-202 with PD-1 inhibition to treat adults with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma. Testing Nivolumab and Ipilimumab With Short-Course Radiation in Advanced Rectal Cancer Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this trial is to investigate the effect of nivolumab and ipilimumab when given together with short-course radiation therapy in treating patients with rectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nivolumab, ipilimumab, and radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. A Study to See if the Depth of Tumor Invasion of Esophageal Carcinoma Predicts Lymph Node Involvement and Cancer Free Survival Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to see if different depths of submucosal tumor invasion in esophageal cancer can predict lymph node involvement and survival.

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.
