1. A Study to Evaluate Rectal Cancer with Diffusion-Weighted and Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Perfusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to analyze the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from Diffusion-Weighted (DWI) in patients before, during the second week of and after preoperative chemoradiation therapy for rectal cancer.

    

    

2. A Study to Evaluate Performance of Coagulation Laboratory Testing in Children and Young Adults

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to generate pediatric-specific reference ranges that take into account patient sex, age, corrected gestational age, ethnicity, etc., and laboratory variables for various coagulation studies.

3. A Study to Evaluate Exemestane in Post-Menopausal Women with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

   Albert Lea, Minn., Mankato, Minn.

   This study is being conducted to see if adding Exemestane to the immune checkpoint blockade can slow disease progression in post-menopausal women with non-small cell lung cancer.

4. Cardio-Oncology Clinic Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to establish a retrospective and prospective clinical registry of patients seen in the cardio-oncology clinic to characterize trends in the composition and outcomes of the population seen in the clinic, as well as initial clinical analyses on cardiovascular toxicities.

5. A Study to Determine the Effects of Activity by Ambulation in Hospital Premises versus Strict Protective Isolation on Quality of Life in Severely Neutropenic Cancer Patients during Hospitalization

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if allowing patients to ambulate in the hallways outside of their hospital room by relaxing the policy of strict protective isolation in neutropenic patients improves the quality of life, and if this increases the risk of infection among these patients during hospitalization.

6. Phase I Trial of Sargramostim and Nivolumab for Metastatic Melanoma to the Lung

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase I trial is looking to see if sargramostim given with a nebulizer, in combination with standard immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy with nivolumab can help control melanoma that has metastasized to the lungs.

7. A Study of APG-2575 Alone or in Combination with Other Therapeutic Agents to Treat Relapsed and/or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability, identify dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of APG-2575.

8. A Study to Evaluate Immunotherapy and Ovarian Function Among Pre-menopausal Melanoma Survivors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purposes of this study are to analyze the ovarian function of female premenopausal melanoma survivors who have undergone immunotherapy, and compare with data from age-matched controls, prospectively investigate ovarian function in premenopausal women with melanoma undergoing immunotherapy, and to identify the impact of ovarian function change on the frequency and function of CD8+ T cells during immunotherapy.

9. Feasibility of a Point of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Intervention for Newly Diagnosed Black Men

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objective of this pilot stdy is to plan, develop and establish the acceptance and usability of a Point of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis (PPCD) iCCaRE Virtual Robot Assistant (ViRA).

   The specific aims of this study are to plan and develop a PPCD iCCaRE ViRA model that will provide social determinants of health (SDOH) navigation services, psycho-oncology support and emotional support using qualitative formative research, and to establish the acceptance and usability of the iCCaRE ViRA at a urology clinic among 50 Black men (BM).

10. 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.
