Below are current clinical trials.

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

1. Chemotherapy With or Without Immunotherapy for Peritoneal Mesothelioma

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this trial is to compare the usual treatment alone to using immunotherapy (atezolizumab) plus the usual treatment in treating patients with peritoneal mesothelioma. The usual treatment consists of surgery or chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and pemetrexed, 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. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving atezolizumab with usual treatment may work better than usual treatment alone.

2. Ommaya Placement for Biomarker Collection

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of intra-operative Ommaya Reservoir placement during a clinically indicated tumor surgery in order to facilitate a longitudinal access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for analysis of exploratory and future tumor biomarkers for individualized monitoring.

    

    

3. A Study of HFB200301 in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

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

   The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of HFB200301 in patients with advanced cancers. There are two parts in this study. During the escalation part, groups of participants will receive increasing doses until a safe and tolerable dose of HFB200301 is determined. During the expansion part, participants will take the dose of study drug that was determined from the escalation part of the study and will be assigned to a group based on the type of cancer the participants have.

4. A Study to Evaluate the Surgical Removal of Residual Brain Tumors Prior to Recurrence

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of surgical resection for pre-recurrent brain tumors. Eligible patients with surgically accessible latent tumors desiring surgical resection will be enrolled to prospectively track short- and long-term outcomes. Safety will be evaluated by quantifying rates of surgical morbidity as compared to patients undergoing RT after surgery, or no surgery for similar latent disease. Variables evaluated will include postoperative complications including death within 30 days, wound infection, length of hospital stay, and readmission rates.

    

    

5. Understanding the Relationship Between Benign Breast Tissue, Benign Breast Disease, and Breast Cancer Development

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to culture human mammary cells to identify cellular characteristics associated with lobular involution status. 

6. 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.

7. A Study to Evaluate Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea in Breast Cancer Patients

   Rochester, Minn., Mankato, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Albert Lea, Minn.

   The long-term goal of this study is to alleviate the occurrence of CIN and fatigue and to improve chemotherapy treatment outcomes. The identification of associations between fatigue, CIN and chemotherapy-induced changes in gut microbiome composition profiles will increase our understanding of these mechanisms that underlie patient symptom experience. An increased understanding of the underlying mechanisms will provide targets for the development of novel interventions to help alleviate fatigue and CIN.

8. A Dose-Escalation and Expansion Study of BGB-16673 in Participants With B-Cell Malignancies

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

   This study consists of two parts to explore BGB-16673 recommended dosing:  a part 1 monotherapy dose finding and a part 2 (cohort expansion in two cohorts).

9. Breast Cancer, Reasoning, And Activity Intervention

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This phase II trial tests whether an exercise intervention works to improve cognitive function in breast cancer survivors. Many breast cancer survivors report cancer-related cognitive impairment, which this has recently become a priority in clinical research due to its dramatic impact on daily functioning, quality of life, and long-term health. Aerobic exercise has the potential to improve cognitive function and brain health in older adults and is recommended as a safe, tolerable, and accessible complementary therapy for breast cancer survivors. This study aims to understand the effects of physical activity compared with health education on memory, attention, and brain health in women with breast cancer. Study findings may help researchers design more programs that can improve memory, attention, and brain health in other women with breast cancer.

10. A Study to Evaluate Azacitidine Plus Venetoclax Induction Chemotherapy To Treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients for T-cell Directed Immunotherapy

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate immune profile of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients receiving Venetoclax plus Azacitidine induction chemotherapy.
