Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of DCC-2618 to sunitinib in GIST patients who progressed on or were intolerant to first-line anticancer treatment with imatinib. Approximately 358 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to DCC-2618 150 mg once daily (QD) (continuous dosing for 6 week cycles) or sunitinib 50 mg QD (6 week cycles, 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off).

The purpose of this Phase 1/2 master protocol study is to evaluate if DCC-3009 is safe, tolerable and works effectively in the treatment of GIST. The study will use a modular approach with each module being defined according to therapy: DCC-3009 alone or DCC-3009 in combination with other anticancer therapies. Each module will be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Dose Expansion). Participants will be treated in 28-day treatment cycles with an estimated duration of up to 2 years.

The purpose of this study is to compare the objective response rate (ORR) by IRR of ripretinib vs sunitinib using modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 – GIST-specific (mRECIST). Also, to compare the overall survival (OS) of ripretinib vs sunitinib.

This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib-s-malate works in treating younger patients with sarcomas, Wilms tumor, or other rare tumors that have come back, do not respond to therapy, or are newly diagnosed. Cabozantinib-s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor growth and tumor blood vessel growth.

The purpose of this study is to see how well lorvotuzumab mertansine works in treating younger patients with Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, pleuropulmonary blastoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), or synovial sarcoma that has returned or that does not respond to treatment. Antibody-drug conjugates, such as lorvotuzumab mertansine, are created by attaching an antibody (protein used by the body's immune system to fight foreign or diseased cells) to an anti-cancer drug. The antibody is used to recognize tumor cells so the anti-cancer drug can kill them.

Information regarding the delay in diagnosis as well as the causes of the delay are lacking in the U.S. Specifically, we aim to identify patient factors and provider factors that contribute to delayed diagnosis of sarcoma.

The goal of this study is to create a comprehensive system of tissue banking of samples from Mayo Clinic Arizona patients with a clinical diagnosis of sarcoma who will or have undergone a surgical procedure to remove the sarcoma.  The tissue samples will be used for future research of sarcoma at Mayo Clinic and future research at Mayo Clinic to learn about, prevent, or treat other health problems.   

Tinostamustine (EDO-S101) is a new chemical entity, an AK-DAC (a first-in-class alkylating deacetylase inhibiting molecule) that, in preclinical studies, has been shown to simultaneously improve access to the DNA strands within cancer cells, break them and block damage repair. This Phase 1/2 study will enroll patients with various advanced solid tumors.

The purpose of this study is to develop a data-driven approach that enables healthcare providers to “prescribe” exercise in the appropriate dose in a manner analogous to prescribing a drug.
