1. A Study to Evaluate Left and Right Ventricular Function in Relation to Exercise Capacity in Breast Cancer Survivors

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if exercise improves cardiac remodeling as a way to mitigate the negative effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy which lead to reduced exercise tolerance.

2. Nitrates and IL-8 in Barrett's Esophagus

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine serum, saliva, and tissue levels of nitrates in patients with normal squamous epithelium, erosive esophagitis, non-dysplastic BE (NDBE), and BE with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC); to compare serum and tissue levels of IL-8 with varying levels of BE dysplasia and EAC; and to determine whether there is an association between nitrate levels and IL-8.

    

    

3. A Study to Evaluate Remote Monitoring in Cancer Care

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objectives of this study are to establish the validity for the use of wearable device for continuous, remote monitoring of physiologic parameters, to establish the validity for the use of wearable device for continuous, remote monitoring of physiologic parameters, and to develop patient-specific algorithms to predict the trajectory of CRS and or neurotoxicity and time to escalation of medical intervention is needed.

4. A Study to Analyze CMP-001 in Combination With Nivolumab in Subjects With Advanced Melanoma

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to determine confirmed objective response with CMP-001 in combination with nivolumab in subjects with refractory unresectable or metastatic melanoma. It also aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CMP-001 administered by intratumoral (IT) injection in combination with nivolumab in subjects with refractory unresectable or metastatic melanoma and to evaluate the effectiveness of CMP-001 in combination with nivolumab in subjects with refractory unresectable or metastatic melanoma. 

5. Cutaneous Lymphoma Database

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to create a  long-term, prospective database of cutaneous lymphoma that will lead to a better understanding of the biological behavior of cutaneous lymphomas as well as the effectiveness of interventions.

6. SC16LD6.5 in Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of SC16LD6.5 at different dose levels in patients with small cell lung cancer whose cancer has progressed or recurred following standard chemotherapy. Once a safe and tolerable dose is determined, the anti-cancer activity of SC16LD6.5 will be assessed by measuring the extent of tumor shrinkage. SC16LD6.5 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). The antibody (SC16) targets a protein that appears to be expressed on the surface of most small cell lung cancers that have been assessed using an immunohistochemical assay. The drug, D6.5, is a very potent form of chemotherapy, specifically a DNA-damaging agent, that is cell cycle independent. ADC's theoretically provide more precise delivery of chemotherapy to cancer cells, possibly improving effectiveness relative to toxicities.

7. Study of Imprime PGG and Pembrolizumab in Advanced Melanoma and Triple Negative Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   Objective: To determine the Overall Response Rate (ORR) to Imprime PGG + pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced melanoma or metastatic TNBC

   Safety: To characterize the safety of Imprime PGG + pembrolizumab given in combination

   Hypothesis: Restore (for melanoma) or enhance (for TNBC) sensitivity to checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) by appropriate and effective stimulation of the subject's innate and adaptive immune systems in those subjects who have failed 1st line therapy

   The study will incorporate Simon's optimal 2-stage design with sample size fixed at 12 subjects each in Stage 1 for advanced melanoma and for Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) subjects. The safety criterion of ≤ 4 (or ≤ 33%) subjects with Grade 3/4 adverse events in Cycle 1 within either tumor type must be met in order to proceed to Stage 2. The starting dose is 4 mg/kg for Imprime PGG. In the event there are a total of > 4 (or > 33%) of subjects with Grade 3/4 adverse events in Cycle 1, the dose of Imprime PGG will be reduced to 2 mg/kg, and Stage 1 will be repeated at a dose of 2 mg/kg with an additional cohort of n=12 subjects. For the dose that meets the safety criterion in Stage 1, at least 1 response in melanoma subjects and 2 responses in TNBC subjects amongst the 12 subjects within each tumor type must be observed in order to proceed to Stage 2.

   Stage 2 will enroll an additional 17 subjects with melanoma, and 30 subjects with TNBC. For the dose that meets the Stage 1 safety criterion, success will be declared if at least 4 amongst the total of up to 29 subjects with melanoma, and 13 amongst the total of up to 42 subjects with TNBC achieve an objective response.

8. A Study Evaluating Fecal DNA Markers to Detect Colorectal Neoplasia in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   Cells with increased oncogene activity adopt a secretory phenotype. For example, increased levels of c-Src not only inhibit differentiation but also induce the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as fibronectin (1), a protein critically involved in cell migration. The abnormal secretion of ECM proteins stems from the inability of c-Src overexpressing cells to sense their environment and to act in-sync with local tissue demand, likely because of a constitutive activation of ECM biosensors such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK). We hypothesize that the secretion of ECM proteins is an early event in malignant transformation induced by increased oncogene activity, resulting from constitutive activation of signaling cascades that are otherwise responsive to changes of the extracellular environment. To test our hypothesis, and to exploit its consequences or diagnostic applications, we propose the following specific aims:

9. Genomic Analysis of Glioma Tissue Samples

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to use stored glioma specimens stored by the Tissue Registry under the oversight of the Neuro-Oncology PROGRAM.

10. Perioperative Enfortumab Vedotin (EV) Plus Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Versus Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Cisplatin-eligible Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC) (MK-3475-B15/ KEYNOTE-B15 / EV-304)

    Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to assess the antitumor effectiveness and safety of perioperative enfortumab vedotin (EV) plus pembrolizumab and radical cystectomy (RC) + pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) compared with the current standard of care (neoadjuvant chemotherapy [gemcitabine plus cisplatin] and RC + PLND) for participants with MIBC who are cisplatin-eligible. The dual primary hypotheses are preoperative EV + pembrolizumab and RC + PLND (Arm A) will achieve superior pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and perioperative EV and pembrolizumab and RC + PLND (Arm A) will achieve superior event free survival (EFS) compared with neoadjuvant gemcitabine + cisplatin and RC + PLND (Arm B).
