Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to validate the use of ex-vivo confocal microscopy for the assessment of skin specimens derived from Mohs surgery compared to standard microscopy. To leverage deep learning models for classification, detection, and localization of tumor for extramammary Paget’s disease on ex-vivo confocal microscopy images. To leverage AI/ML to ex-vivo confocal microscopy imaging to facilitate microscopic-level imaging of extramammary Paget’s disease. To leverage deep learning models for classification, detection, and localization of tumor for extramammary Paget’s disease on frozen and permanent pathology WSIs.

The purpose of this study is to use new technology called Optical Transfer Diagnosis (OTD) to find if skin lesions are melanomas or non cancer. The research study team wants to see if the Balter Medical OTD technology will identify these lesions the same or better than a dermatologist.

The purpose of this study is to Generate autologous iPSC in a manner compliant with requirements for future clinical use, and Reduce manufacturing time when patients are identified as eligible to receive product under separate interventional treatment protocol.

The purpose of this study is to identify the severity of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) amongst cutaneous oncology patients within the dermatologic surgery department at Mayo Clinic Rochester. We aim to delineate the spectrum of CRF as it relates to tumor incidence and patient perception of incidence.

The purpose of this study is to determine how well pembrolizumab works compared to standard of care observation in treating patients with stage I-III Merkel cell cancer that has been completely removed by surgery. 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.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and clinical benefit of valemetostat tosylate in participants with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, including relapsed/refractory adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.

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.

The Valchlor PROVe study is a multi-center, prospective, observational, US-based drug study that longitudinally follows patients with MF-CTCL who are receiving therapy with Valchlor. Patients will be followed prospectively for a maximum of 1 year from the date of signed informed consent (enrollment) until end of study. Continuation in the study is not contingent on continuation of Valchlor.

The purpose of this study, as a proof-of-concept, is to investigate whether ex vivo fluorescence microscopy can provide adequate visualization of cutaneous tissue for determination of non-melanoma skin cancer tumor presence in a sample of up to 250 residual skin specimens.

The purpose of this study is to determine how well paclitaxel with and without nivolumab works in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma that have not received taxane drugs, and how well nivolumab and cabozantinib work in treating taxane pretreated patients with soft tissue sarcoma. Nivolumab works through the body's immune system to help the immune system act against tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor ...

Open-label study using ASP-1929 photoimmunotherapy in combination with anti-PD1 therapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck and squamous cell cancer or advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to create a cutaneous lymphoma tissue repository. This is a highly significant first step in collecting specimens for future analysis to understand the underlying drivers of disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose escalation and expansion of RP1 alone and combined with nivolumab in adult subjects with advanced and/or refractory solid tumors, to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), as well as to evaluate preliminary effectiveness.

The overall goal of this pilot study is to assess initial quality and feasibility of a novel protoype TBP system that may be used in the future for accurate and accessible skin cancer screening called Skinmap. Skinmap’s automatic anatomical registration will be sufficient to permit accurate alignment of baseline overlays on current imagery for visual and automated detection of changes 1mm or greater on 95% of exposed skin in baseline and current image sets. The teams of Triangulate Labs and Mayo Clinic Enterprise Dermatology propose to validate, refine, and explore the clinical utility of Skinmap.

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of genetic mutations in cancer patients from various ethnic populations seeking care at Mayo Clinic cancer clinics.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the challenges, behavioral patterns, and preferences of minority patient participation in clinical trials. Also, to develop and validate a personalized clinical trial educational platform to boost participation among underserved cancer patients.
