Clinical Trials

Recent investigations from this group have identified that genetic variants of genes associated with monogenic forms of nephrolithiasis are expressed in idiopathic calcium oxalate kidney stone patients and could influence stone forming risk. Utilizing patient samples from the Mayo Clinic Florida Kidney Stone Registry, we will demonstrate that expression of these heterozygous mutations in idiopathic nephrolithiasis act as genetic modifiers of disease presentation increasing risk of kidney stone formation. Complimented by the analysis of environmental and lifestyle risk factors, these studies will define environmental and genetic susceptibility factors involved in kidney stone formation and reoccurrence.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ixabepilone and temsirolimus in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread from the primary site to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery.

Novel, high-performance genomic technologies now allow detection of signals from cancers in the blood, giving rise to a new paradigm of multi-cancer detection (MCD) tests. Blood is inherently well suited for detection of cancer biomarkers as it contains circulating tumor cells and tumor cell-free DNA (cfDNA) that have been “shed” from an occult asymptomatic developing cancer. MCD tests analyze these genomic features of the circulating DNA, distinguish it from background signals and determine a site of tumor origin to guide subsequent testing to establish a firm cancer diagnosis (hopefully pre-symptomatic early stage and highly curable). An effective MCD test should ...

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant using stem cells that closely match the patient's stem cells, helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving antithymocyte globulin before transplant and cyclosporine, tacrolimus, and methotrexate before and after transplant may stop this from happening.

The brain is protected from any toxic or inflammatory molecule by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This physical barrier is located at the level of the blood vessel walls. Because of these barrier properties, the blood vessels are also impermeable to the passage of therapeutic molecules from the blood to the brain. The development of effective treatments against glioblastoma is thus limited due to the BBB that prevents most drugs injected in the bloodstream from getting into brain tissue where the tumour is seated. The SonoCloud-9 (SC9) is an investigational device using ultrasound technology and specially developed to open the BBB ...
