MR-Guided Cryoablation of Prostate Bed Recurrences Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this research is to see if MR-guided cryoablation can effectively treat prostate tumor recurrences. A Study to Test the Effectiveness of Two Immunotherapy Drugs (Nivolumab and Ipilimumab) with One Anti-cancer Targeted Drug (Cabozantinib) for Rare Genitourinary Tumors Rochester, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to assess how well cabozantinib works in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with rare genitourinary (GU) tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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. Giving cabozantinib, nivolumab, and ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with genitourinary tumors that have no treatment options compared to giving cabozantinib, nivolumab, or ipilimumab alone. A Study of Nab-Paclitaxel as Maintenance Treatment After Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy and Surgery for Patients with High-Risk Bladder Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate nab-paclitaxel as maintenance therapy after cisplatin-based chemotherapy and surgery in treating patients with high-risk bladder cancer. Maintenance therapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, can help keep cancer from coming back after it has disappeared following initial chemotherapy. Collection of Blood and Urine in Healthy Patients Who are Being Considered for the Kidney Donor Program Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to create a group of blood and urine samples from Mayo Clinic patients being screened for the kidney donor program as well as to collect risk factor data through a questionnaire. The data, blood and urine samples will be used for future research of kidney diseases at Mayo Clinic and future research at Mayo Clinic to learn about, prevent, or treat other health problems. Efficacy of Penile Traction Therapy Using a Novel Device Rochester, Minn. This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, dosing, and preliminary efficacy of a novel penile traction device on correcting deformities relating to Peyronie's disease, a condition which results in penile curvature and length loss. The trial is designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled study with men randomized to receiving no therapy or penile traction therapy 30 minutes once, twice, or three times daily. The study will occur over a 3 month period, after which an open label phase for 3 months will be conducted. Final assessments for adverse effects will also be assessed at 9 months. A Study to Analyze the Vaginal and Bladder Microbiome in Patients Undergoing Vaginal Estrogen or Vaginal LASER Therapy Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate vaginal microbiome at baseline and at 3 months in menopausal women with either vaginal atrophy (with or without rUTI) or rUTI, following treatment of vaginal estrogen and LASER therapy, to evaluate the bladder microbiome at baseline and at 3 months in menopausal women with vaginal atrophy with rUTI undergoing treatment of vaginal estrogen or LASER therapy, and to compare the microbial communities between women who undergo vaginal estrogen with those who undergo LASER therapy. 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 An Expansion Study to Evaluate Dose Escalation, Safety and Tolerability of SAR444881 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of SAR444881 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab or with cetuximab. The study will enroll advanced cancer patients with unresectable or metastatic disease who are refractory to or are not candidates for standard approved therapy and will be comprised of two parts - an initial "3 + 3" dose escalation phase (Part 1) with Sub-Parts 1A (monotherapy SAR444881), 1B (SAR444881 in combination with pembrolizumab) and 1C (SAR444881 in combination with cetuximab) followed by a dose optimization/expansion phase (Part 2), including Sub-Part 2A (Dose Optimization) with Cohorts A1 (SAR444881 in combination with pembrolizumab, carboplatin, and pemetrexed), A2 (SAR444881 in combination with pembrolizumab), B1 (SAR444881 in combination with pembrolizumab and later therapy), and C1 (SAR444881 in combination with cetuximab and later therapy), as well as Sub-Part 2B (Dose Expansion) with Cohort D1 (monotherapy SAR444881). A Study of Standard Systemic Therapy with or without Definitive Treatment in Treating Participants with Metastatic Prostate Cancer Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaouate how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Study of CG0070 Given in Patients With Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer ,Unresponsive to Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of intravesical (IVE) administration of Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec in patients with tissue pathology confirmed non-muscule invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who have Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) unresponsive disease, with either carcinoma in situ with or without Ta/T1 disease.

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.
