Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.447 studies in Oncology (Medical) (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. 3D Ultrasound for the Imaging of Axillary Lymph Nodes in Patients With Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn. The overall goal of this project is to study a new 3D ultrasound imaging technology for evaluation of axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer. Analyses of Metabolic Agents Following Brain Radiation Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of serial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) assessments to evaluate the pharmacodynamic impact of agents targeting radiation-induced biology administered following completion of brain radiation. 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. Hypo-fractionated Proton Radiation Therapy With or Without Androgen Suppression for Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad of two treatment methods on subjects and their cancer. Proton beam radiation therapy is one of the treatments for men with prostate cancer who have localized disease. The benefit of the combination with androgen suppression is not completely understood. This study will compare the use of hypofraction proton therapy (28 treatments) alone to proton therapy with androgen suppression therapy. A Study to Assess Pre-analytical Factors Affecting ctDNA Analysis in Early and Locally-advanced Breast Cancer Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of blood collection tube type and processing methods on ctDNA, evaluate the impact of long-term storage of plasma and extracted DNA, and evaluate ctDNA levels at baseline and during treatment for patients with Stage I-III breast cancer. A Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of Intraoperative Microdialysis (tissue sampling) during Neurosurgery for Central Nervous System Malignancies Rochester, Minn. Intraoperative Microdialysis During Neurosurgery for Central Nervous System Malignancies A Study to Provide Access to CTL019 Out of Specification Managed Access Program (MAP) for ALL or DLBCL Patients Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to provide access to CTL019 through Managed Access Program (MAP) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients with out of specification leukapheresis product and/or manufactured tisagenlecleucel out of specification for commercial release. A Study to Compare Stereotactic Radiosurgery to Hippocampal-Avoidant Whole Brain Radiotherapy Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to compare stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in patients with 5 or more brain metastases. 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. Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients Who Have Participated in Children's Oncology Group Studies Rochester, Minn. This clinical trial is studying long-term follow-up in patients who are or have participated in Children's Oncology Group studies. Developing a way to track patients enrolled in Children's Oncology Group studies will help doctors gather long-term follow-up information and may help the study of cancer in the future.

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.
