This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin works in treating younger patients (≥1 year and < 22 years ) with CD22 positive B acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Immunotoxins, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin, are antibodies linked to a toxic substance and may help find cancer cells that express CD22 and kill them without harming normal cells.

This study is for people who have Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), Fanconi Anemia (FA) or a bone marrow failure disorder that puts them at a higher risk of developing a form of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). To learn more about these disorders and their relationship to cancer, researchers are collecting skin and blood samples to study in the lab. Blood and skin donated to the will be used by researchers at the University of Minnesota in studying the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of these disorders. We expect that this study will take about two hours, or the amount of time it takes to check in for a clinic visit and collect the specimens.

This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy of subcutaneous amivantamab plus lazertinib in previously untreated EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer OR subcutaneous amivantamab plus chemotherapy after having received prior therapy for EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

This study aims to find out if investigational new drugs, TSC-204-A0201, TSC-204- A0702 and TSC-200-A0201, can help your cancer better than the standard of care (SOC) that are currently available and accepted by medical experts as a proper treatment. T-cells are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. They help protect the body from infection and fight cancer. For this study, T-cells will be collected through a process called leukapheresis. T-cells from your leukapheresis will be used to make the study drugs specifically tailored for you and your immune system. The purpose of the study is to learn if the study drugs are safe and effective in treating your type of cancer.

The purpose of RESTORATiVE303 is to see if the study drug, which is called VE303, is safe and effective in preventing another episode of Clostridioides Difficile Infection (CDI). VE303 is an investigational drug that has 8 strains of live bacteria, called “commensals.” Commensals are the type of bacteria that live in harmony with the body, without harming health. These specific bacteria are often found in the intestines of normal, healthy people. They were selected for inclusion in VE303 because they rarely infect humans (mostly in very weakened patients), they do not carry any toxins that can make one sick, and they are not known to carry any risk of creating or spreading resistance to antibiotics.

The purpose of this study is to understand how relighting cigarettes affects the level of toxicants inhaled during smoking, compared to smoking non-relit cigarettes.

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of a new medication being studied for babies who are exposed to cytomegalovirus during birth. This is called congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV). Cytomegalovirus is the leading cause of hearing loss and the leading viral cause of developmental delays in children. If a baby participates in this study, in addition to the study medication, he/she will still receive the current best treatment for cCMV, which is oral Valganciclovir.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether voclosporin, added to standard treatment, is able to reduce activity of lupus nephritis over a study treatment period of 24 weeks, and to determine its safety as well as the best dose for treatment of lupus nephritis in children or adolescents.

This research is being done to learn more about how children with idiopathic short stature grow. About 600 children with idiopathic short stature will be in this study across the world. The study will last a minimum of 6 months (i.e., three study visits). After a child has been in this study for at least 6 months, participants may be offered the option to exit this study and enroll in a different study with growth promoting agents.

Stem cell transplants (sometimes referred to as a bone marrow transplants) have been done for over 40 years but research continues to further refine the method to reduce side effects without affecting transplant success. The purpose of this study is to improve on transplant outcomes while reducing the potential side effects based on what has been learned from previous transplant studies using a reduced intensity preparative regimen. Information collected during this study (transplant outcomes and side effects) will be compared with the outcomes of the previous reduced intensity conditioning transplant study that enrolled more than 300 patients since 2002.

The primary purpose of this study is to record outcomes and patient characteristics in the Masonic Cancer Center and BMT databases for patients who are undergoing an allogeneic (donor) hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery (engraftment) and how patients are doing at 3 months and 6 months after the transplant. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

This is a research study to find out if giving a drug called pembrolizumab after lung cancer surgery does a better job at keeping the cancer from coming back than surgery alone.

This study is being done to improve outcomes after kidney donation and kidney transplantation. We will test kidney donors and kidney transplant recipients for apolipoprotein L1 gene (called APOL1) variants (or forms of the gene) and to see how these may affect them. Genes control the traits inherited from your family such as your eye color or blood type. Only a blood sample (and possibly urine) will be collected. Information routinely collected as part of surgery will also be used in the study. There will not be any changes to usual medical care.

The purpose of this study is to understand if the study medication ONCOFID-P-B is effective and safe in treating patients with carcinoma in situ of the bladder who have not received benefit from standard BCG treatment and are not candidates for radical cystectomy.

We are doing this study because we want to find out if observation is as good as the usual care for breast cancer. The usual approach for patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who receive preoperative chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab is to continue to receive FDA-approved pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks after surgery. Participants will either get pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks, or will not receive any treatment and will be observed for up to 27 weeks. We will continue to follow participants every 6 months for 5 years and watch for side effects or cancer coming back. After that, participants will be checked every year for a total of 10 years after the study.

The Brain Health Registry and Biospecimen Repository will create a research framework aiming to help us understand the causes of memory loss in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. We would like to recruit research participants 45+ years and up without any memory complaints, participants subjectively reporting memory complaints, and participants suffering from mild cognitive impairment or dementia symptoms due to neurodegenerative diseases. We will ask study participants about their medical history, their demographics, their social determinants of health, do a sleep quality assessment, and do neuropsychometric assessments. We will also create a biospecimen repository of blood, tissue and cerebral spinal fluid samples from the above participants.

The purpose of the study is to establish and maintain a biorepository of tissue and biospecimen samples relevant to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research. We will obtain, store, and catalogue peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), blood and blood components, skin punch biopsy samples, and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from people living with ALS, linked to clinical datasets, to advance ALS research.

We are doing this study to see if we can lower the chance of endometrial cancer coming back and causing death by adding a drug or drugs that target HER2 proteins in addition to the usual combination of chemotherapy drugs. We want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your endometrial cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for endometrial cancer, which in this case would be chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of glofitamab, a novel cluster of differentiation (CD) 20/CD3 bispecific antibody, in combination with polatuzumab vedotin plus rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (Pola‑R‑CHP) versus Pola‑R‑CHP in patients with previously untreated CD20-positive large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).

This keystone study will invite adolescents into a 2-semester creative arts / science program, with arts activities taking place at the Masonic Institute of the Developing Brain (MIDB).

This study aims to identify independent blood-based risk factors for postoperative complications and near-term events among patients undergoing CABG surgery. In particular, this study will be using proteomics, the study of all proteins produced by the cells found in blood, as well as genetic analysis to identify potential predictive markers of postoperative complications. We will collect blood samples from before and after surgery. This study does not involve any medical treatment other than the one prescribed by your doctor, nor does it involve any additional medical procedures.

Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy (chemo) drug often given after a transplant to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). We are doing this study to see if a lower dose of cyclophosphamide after transplant is as safe and works just as well. This study does not include any new or untested drugs. The drugs and procedures in this study are standard for people who receive a transplant.

The goal of this study is to learn more about a new way of gathering information about a person’s jaw muscle pain – taking scans of the jaw muscles while a person bites down on a special device. It is hoped that the information learned in this study will help the study team to design a bigger study on this new way of learning about jaw muscle pain, which may lead to better, more individualized treatments for jaw muscle pain for future patients.

FT536 is a type of cell product made up of “natural killer” or NK cells. NK cells are a type of immune blood cell that are known to attack cancer cells. FT536 is produced by growing cells that come from a healthy human donor. The primary purpose of this study is to identify a safe dose of FT536 cells when given alone (monotherapy).

While hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an effective therapy, as many as 25% of patients develop problems with their lungs as a result of this treatment. Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a type of lung injury after HSCT due to graft versus host disease. BO is commonly diagnosed late in patients, when lung injury is hard to treat and can be irreversible, leading to long-term lung disease or even death. The purpose of this research is to learn more about ruxolitinib as an early treatment for lung injury and BO after HSCT. Patients who are diagnosed with early lung dysfunction will be eligible for this research study.

This study it to test an investigational vaccine called mRNA-1647 that is being developed for preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people. CMV is a common virus that can spread easily through an infected person’s saliva or other body fluids such as blood, urine, and breast milk. We want see if the trial vaccine can prevent CMV infection in participants who have not been previously infected, to understand the safety (how many side effects you may have) of the trial vaccine, and to see if the trial vaccine results in participants making antibodies to CMV.

This is a small, Phase 0, window of opportunity study to provide human experience to support our pre-clinical data and gain preliminary information regarding the safety and tolerability of mirdametinib and vorinostat when given in combination.

The purpose of this research study is to compare surgical tumor removal followed by stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) to surgical tumor removal followed by radiation therapy delivered by surgically implanted GammaTilesTM (GT). A GammaTile (GT) is an FDA cleared device used to provide radiation therapy following the removal of a brain tumor. GT are small (2cm x 2cm x 0.4cm) collagen squares/tiles that contain sources of radiation that look like grains of rice. If assigned to the GT study group, the doctor will place tiles containing the radiation sources in the cavity left after surgically removing the brain tumor. They do not need to be removed as the collagen tiles will be absorbed and the radiation sources can be left in place. If assigned to the SRT study group, SRT will take place 3-4 weeks after surgery and uses external beams to deliver radiation to the cavity left after surgically removing the brain tumor.

This trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of the combination of ipatasertib with megestrol acetate to megestrol acetate alone in women who have endometrial cancer that has come back (recurrent) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Ipatasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Megestrol acetate lowers the amount of estrogen and also blocks the use of estrogen made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. The combination of ipatasertib and megestrol acetate may be more effective in treating endometrial cancer than megestrol acetate alone.

This trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who had a complete response after preoperative chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help researchers determine if observation will result in the same risk of cancer coming back as pembrolizumab after surgery.
