This study tests IMP1734, a PARP1-selective inhibitor, in patients with breast, ovarian, or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with specific HRR gene mutations. The study includes dose escalation to identify the maximum tolerated or achievable dose (MTD/MAD), dose optimization to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of select doses, and dose expansion to test the recommended dose for monotherapy. IMP1734 is taken as daily oral tablets, and the trial lasts up to three years from the first treatment of the last participant.

The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, called alisertib, in combination with an ‘endocrine therapy’ such as anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane, tamoxifen or fulvestrant can help people with HR+, HER2-negative recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. The study will also look at how well people tolerate treatment with alisertib in combination with one of the endocrine therapies that are commonly used in clinical practice.

The purpose of this research study is to obtain information on the safety and effectiveness of PBCAR0191 to treat certain types of cancers, such as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It is made from a type of blood cells known as T cells. The T cells in PBCAR0191 came from people who have donated their blood. The donated T cells have been genetically changed, so that they may be able to kill specific cancer cells commonly present in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Finding liver cancer early is important to increase chances of getting treatment and decreasing risk of dying from cancer. The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of two liver cancer screening methods to detect liver cancer at an early stage. Participants will be randomly (by chance) placed in one of two study groups – one group will undergo ultrasound imaging of the liver with or without a blood test to measure a specific protein, whereas the second group will undergo a blood test for liver cancer screening called a GALAD score. The GALAD score combines three blood tests to screen for liver cancer. We do not currently know if GALAD would help detect liver cancer earlier than standard screening.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about an investigational drug called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd; DS-7300. It is being studied to see if it is safe, and if cancer improves while taking it. I-DXd is a type of drug called an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are made to attach to tumor cells to deliver chemotherapy directly to tumor cells while sparing healthy cells.

The purpose of this study is to learn the effects, good or bad, of the study drug, vosoritide, for treating children who have hypochondroplasia. This condition affects the growth of bone and cartilage and in which kids who have it are shorter than other kids of the same age. In this study, your child will get either the study drug or placebo, which is an inactive medicine.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about ocular (relating to the eye) side-effects of tisotumab vedotin (brand name: TIVDAK™). A side effect is anything the drug does to your body besides treating your disease. It is approved for women with cervical cancer that has spread through the body or come back during or after chemotherapy. We are doing a study to understand whether there are any ocular side-effects of TIVDAK.

This research study is for participants who have a weakened immune system (are immunocompromised), have a lower lung infection and are currently using a machine or device to help them breathe. The study will look at whether the study drug, DAS181, works and how safe it is compared with a placebo in adults who have a weakened immune system (immunocompromised) and a parainfluenza virus (PIV) infection of the lower respiratory tract. A placebo looks the same as the study drug but does not contain any active ingredients.

This study will help to identify challenges and barriers to self-performing anal cancer screening tests, and may identify unique ways to make this form of screening easier, more cost-effective, and more frequently performed. We believe that it has the potential to minimize the frequency of both disease and death from anal cancer among high-risk patient groups.

We have determined that the microbes (bacteria) in the colon can play a role in causing and preventing complications of colon surgery. While the surgical bowel prep before surgery eliminates the harmful bacteria, it also eliminates the beneficial bacteria that aid wound healing. The purpose of this study is to determine if we can restore the presence of good bacteria (also known as ‘intestinal microbiota’) in the colon by transplanting them from a healthy donor.

The purpose of this research is to test safety, efficacy and compare the effects of a combination therapy involving inavolisib plus a CDK4/6i (palbociclib) and letrozole versus placebo plus a CDK4/6i (palbociclib) and letrozole on patients with HR+, HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC). In this study, you will get either inavolisib plus palbociclib and letrozole or placebo plus palbociclib and letrozole. A placebo looks like a drug but has no active ingredient.

We are looking at how well letrozole with or without paclitaxel and carboplatin works in treating patients with stage II-IV low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum. Letrozole is an enzyme inhibitor that lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body and may stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. We will compare the effectiveness of the two different treatments.

The purpose of this research is to compare the effects of nivolumab with vusolimogene oderparepvec (VO) against standard of care treatment drug(s) currently available for patients with advanced melanoma. We expect that taking part in this research will last up to 60 months.

The investigational therapy in this study is referred to as Restorative Microbiota Therapy (RMT). It is prepared by extracting healthy bacteria from the stool of healthy human donors and making it into capsules taken by mouth. The donor stool samples are rigorously tested for harmful bacteria and viruses before processing. There is scientific evidence to suggest that RMT might make immunotherapy more effective. The primary goal of the study is to test if RMT makes durvalumab + tremelimumab treatment with chemotherapy more effective to control lung cancer.

This trial is testing MK-5684 in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with next-generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) and Taxane-based chemotherapy. This trial will compare MK-5684 to abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide. Abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide are standard treatments for mCRPC. The purpose of this trial is to test the safety of the trial drug, MK-5684, see how well the drug works, and see how the body handles the drug. We also want to see if participants who get MK-5684 live longer compared to those who get abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide.

The treatment (chemotherapy and transplant procedures) is considered standard clinical care that are usually given to the patients with this disease. The research aspect of this study is to collect data on the patients who are being treated on this plan. Patients will be followed throughout the course of their clinical care and for three years after their transplant.

This phase III trial studies brentuximab vedotin and combination chemotherapy to see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating children and young adults with stage IIB with bulk, stage IIIB, IVA, or IVB Hodgkin lymphoma. Combinations of biological substances in brentuximab vedotin may be able to carry cancer-killing substances directly to Hodgkin lymphoma cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vincristine sulfate, etoposide, prednisone, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without brentuximab vedotin in treating children with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of investigational devices (the Lilac Glove and Lilac Boot devices) for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe symptoms of peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy during the treatment of cancer. The Lilac Glove and Lilac Boot devices are designed to keep chemotherapy medication from damaging nerves. The study involves wearing the Lilac Glove and Boot devices on both hands and feet at each treatment session. Participants will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) into one of two treatment groups; the “intervention group” (which means you receive treatment with the therapeutic Lilac devices) or the “control group” (which means you will receive treatment with the sham devices).

The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of NXC-201 to treat AL amyloidosis. The people in this study have AL amyloidosis that came back or does not get better with treatment. NXC-201 is a cellular therapy made from your own white blood cells called T cells. If you join this study, we will collect some of your T cells and modify (change) them in a lab. This modification will help your T cells find and kill abnormal plasma cells. These genetically changed T cells are called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. NXC-201 is a CAR T cell therapy and is given intravenously (by vein). To prepare your body for NXC-201, you will also get fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, which are chemotherapy drugs. After you get NXC-201, you will be in the hospital for at least 10 days.

We’re studying disitamab vedotin to find out what its side effects are and if it works for urothelial cancer when given with pembrolizumab. We want to see if these drugs work better together than the available approved treatments.

This clinical research study is being conducted to gain knowledge about a new drug called BAY 2927088 for a type of cancer called advanced non-small cell lung cancer, which cannot be removed with surgery or has spread to other parts of the body, and has a mutation in the HER2 gene.

The purpose of this research is to collect, store and distribute specimens and information about people with solid tumors. Samples from many people are being collected and stored so they can be used for research now and in the future.

This study compares the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFIRINOX) to modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) for the treatment of advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2 negative esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Adding irinotecan to the FOLFOX regimen could shrink the cancer and extend the life of patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of a device (Vocxi Health’s MyBreath Print®) to capture and measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath samples from women who have a pelvic mass and will be having surgery. The ultimate goal is to develop a screening test for ovarian cancer. We expect that study will take approximately 45 minutes and breath samples will be obtained before and after surgery.

The purpose of this study is to describe current knowledge and opinions about anal cancer screening among men who have sex with men (MSM), as well as their experience receiving guideline-compliant care aimed at anal cancer risk reduction using a large-scale survey disseminated via social media.

The overall goal of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of CPX-351 with daunorubicin and cytarabine on people with newly diagnosed AML to find out which is better, and to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the drug gilteritinib has when given with chemotherapy to children and young adults with newly diagnosed AML and the FLT3/ITD mutation or non-ITD FLT3 activating mutations.

This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, including lymphomas and desmoid tumors.

The purpose of this research is to collect and store specimens and information about the recovery of the immune system following a stem cell transplant (HCT) or immunotherapy to treat a cancer or blood disease. Samples from many people are being collected and stored so they can be used for research now and in the future.

The purpose of this study is to study the evolution of early life risk factors that may lead to cancer and other conditions. This is a prospective cohort study of families who reside in Minnesota.
