Clinical Studies

Biologically Adaptive Therapy (BAT) for Locally Advanced GI, CNS and Thoracic Malignancies at Mayo Clinic Florida: Personalizing Cancer Therapy Through Genomic Assessment of Blood-derived Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA). Jacksonville, Fla.
This study proposes to develop and maintain a biorepository of blood samples collected from patients receiving definitive chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer, locally advanced pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or cervical cancer. The ultimate goal of this biorepository will be to provide the resource to initiate an exploration of ctDNA as a potential liquid biopsy for GI and Thoracic malignancy detection and surveillance.
Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma with Electron Intraoperative Radiation Therapy: A Phase II Study of Electron Beam Intraoperative Radiation Therapy Following Chemoradiation in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer with Vascular Involvement Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this study is to to evaluate the rate of overall survival (OS) at two years in patients with either borderline or locally advanced pancreatic cancer who receive electron beam intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) following chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Center Study of the Superoxide Dismutase Mimetic GC4419 to Reduce Severe Oral Mucositis (SOM) Associated With Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced, Non-Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this study is to determine if GC4419, administered prior to intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), reduces the severity of radiation-induced oral mucositis in patients who have been diagnosed with locally advanced, non-metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
