Safety Of HRX215 In Patients After Minor And Major Liver Resection
Jacksonville, FL; Rochester, MN
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if HRX215 is safe, tolerable and active in adults who have undergone liver resection due to colorectal carcinoma metastases.
The objectives are:
1. to learn about the safety and tolerability of HRX215
2. to learn about how the body absorbs, distributes, and gets rid of HRX215.
3. to learn about clinical activity of HRX215
Researchers will compare HRX215 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to investigate safety, tolerability and clinical activity in participants taking HRX215.

A Study To Assess Cisplatin And Combination Chemotherapy In Treating Children And Young Adults With Hepatoblastoma Or Liver Cancer After Surgery
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to determine how well cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or liver cancer after surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, 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. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells.

A Study To Develop And Validate Hybrid Molecular Imaging To Transform The Care Of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients
Rochester, MN
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate diagnostic performance of 68Ga-PSMA-dual contrast (gadavist and gadoxetate) PET/MRI OR PET/CT for HCC using surgical histopathology (either resection, transplant or biopsy specimens) or LI-RADS® categorization as gold standard.

Aggressive Malignancy PDX (Avatar) and Cryopreservation Program
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability to successfully create numerous validated patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models from patient tumor specimens obtained at surgery/biopsy via the new Pathology/TRAG cryopreservation protocol, and to generate a large catalog and repertoire of previously unavailable histologically validated PDX.

A Study To Evaluate Yttrium-90 Therapy For Radiation Lobectomy
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ; Jacksonville, FL; Rochester, MN
The Patient Group 1 primary objective is to measure the distribution of 90Y glass microspheres throughout the tumor and non-tumor hepatic parenchyma, as assessed by same day postradioembolization study-specific non-FDG PET/CT scan. Correlate this measurement with mean lobar absorbed radiation dose and embolic load given to patients and time taken to achieve adequate Future Liver Remnant (> 40% of total liver volume) to determine if there is an optimal lobar dose and embolic load.
The Patient Group 2 primary objectives are to assess the association of circulating and imaging biomarkers on Future Liver Remnant hypertrophy, and to assess progression-free survival between ...

Post-Surgical Based Efforts to Reduce Preventable Readmissions and Optimize Length of Stay
Rochester, MN
The investigators believe that the lessons learned from studies regarding 30-day and 90-day readmission are primarily due to failure of early symptom recognition, and medical error. Through the aid of remote monitoring and early symptom detection, the hypothesis for the current proposal is that interventions can be recommended in an earlier, remote fashion that may result in earlier post-surgical discharge, prevent decompensation, and prevent increased readmissions that have been associated with decreased LOS in other surgical populations.
