Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to collect medical and personal histories, blood and/or tumor tissue samples from patients who are long-term survivors of lung cancer. This study will help us to develop better ways to provide care and advice, develop better treatments to minimize long-term side effects, and improve the quality of life and outcome of lung cancer patients. This study will also help us to learn whether certain genes (inherited factors from your parents) increase the risk of developing or dying of lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and the effect of a wellness coaching intervention (WCI) on quality of life, weight, and healthy lifestyle in overweight breast cancer survivors.

Exercise can benefit young adult cancer survivors by improving cardiovascular and pulmonary function, reducing fatigue, improving quality of life, and may even increase long term survival. Our goal is to identify specific barriers to exercise faced by young adult lymphoma survivors. In addition, we will look to survivors to guide us on the particular ways in which a health care institution might support them in physical activity. Our specific aims are: evaluate young adult lymphoma survivors’ knowledge regarding benefits of exercise after cancer treatment, identify barriers to exercise experienced by young adult lymphoma survivors, and understand the types of exercise ...

The purpose of this study is to access long-term quality of life, complications, and implications of treatments on patients who are long-term survivors of pancreas cancer and were treated at Mayo Clinic. 

The purpose of this study is to test a validated collaborative care model-based intervention aimed at improving pain control among rural dwelling and Hispanic cancer survivors by promoting multimodal pain care (MMPC)  to reduce inappropriate opioid use and by  addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) that impede patients’ access to appropriate care.

The purpose of this study is to develop the curriculum and assess its feasibility and impact on equipping young adults to better manage these aspects of survivorship: follow up medical care, work/school life, relationships and coping with the emotional impact of cancer survivorship. 

The purpose of this study is to improve the cardiovascular care of adult cancer survivors by contributing much-needed evidence regarding optimal surveillance and treatment recommendations. This application’s objective is to obtain the data necessary to plan an adequately powered randomized clinical trial (RCT) across a nation-wide network that will define prospectively the clinical and economic efficacy of a screening program that uses AI-ECG and/or NT-pro-BNP in an at-risk adult cancer survivor population.

The purpose of this study is to determine if to increasing physical activity (PA) will increase physical functioning, as measured by cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and balance in underserved adult cancer survivors of ages 18 or older residing at a rural address. Also, to deternube if increasing PA will increase quality of life (QOL), as measured by physical functioning and fatigue, in underserved cancer survivors ages 18 or older residing at a rural address.

The purpose of this trial is to identify cancer survivors who are at increased risk of developing late-occurring complications after undergoing treatment for childhood cancer. A patient's genes may affect the risk of developing complications, such as congestive heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and second cancer, years after undergoing cancer treatment. Genetic studies may help doctors identify survivors of childhood cancer who are more likely to develop late complications.

The purpose of this study is to determine if long-term ovarian cancer survivors after receipt of a vaccine targeting folate receptor alpha will have persistent T cell and antibody responses to folate receptor alpha and will have broad evidence of systemic immune activation.

The purpose of this study is to improve well-being and promote weight loss using a virtual mindfulness and activity promotion program among rural patients with a history of cancer.

The best available evidence suggests that pregnancy after breast cancer does not increase a woman's risk of developing a recurrence from her breast cancer. In particular, the most recent data suggest that this is the case also in women with a hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. There is also no indication of increased risk for delivery complications or for the newborn. The aim of the study is to investigate if temporary interruption of endocrine therapy, with the goal to permit pregnancy, is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer recurrence.The study aims also to evaluate different specific indicators related to ...

This randomized phase IIb trial studies how well low-dose carvedilol works in preventing heart failure in cancer survivors exposed to high dose anthracyclines for management of childhood cancer. Patients who received high-dose anthracycline chemotherapy are at a much greater risk for developing heart failure compared to survivors who didn't get any anthracycline chemotherapy. Heart failure happens when the heart muscle has been weakened and can't pump blood as well as it should. Carvedilol may help lower the risk of cardiovascular complications.

This project will be a pilot study aiming to describe the change of skin quality after initiation of Aromatase Inhibitor therapy in Breast Cancer survivors through use of VISIA CA technology and skincare intervention.  

The purpose of this study is to evaluate sexual well-being in minority women who have been diagnosed with cancer, and their partners. 

The purpose of this study is to develop a breast cancer survivor (BCS) multiscale omics database that includes a complete fecal metagenome (gut microbiome) and fecal metabolome characterization. 

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Reishi mushroom extracts on aromatase-inhibitor toxicities, specifically fatigue, and arthralgias, compared to placebo.  Other aims include examining the side effects of Reishi mushroom extracts and its impact on quality of life and mood, as compared to placebo. 

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and perceived effectiveness of acupuncture for breast cancer-related symptoms.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral multicomponent treatment program in improving pain, mood, and functioning while reducing medication non-adherence in breast cancer patients with Aromatase Inhibitor Associated Musculoskeletal Symptoms (AIMSS).

This study is a process evaluation of a digital storytelling (DST) intervention. Because the DST intervention has not yet been developed, it is appropriate to use qualitative methods to assess the process.

This study will recruit gifted storytellers for a digital storytelling intervention on breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer. A digital storytelling intervention will be developed to improve breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening rates among Hispanic, Spanish speaking individuals. Additionally, to conduct a qualitative assessment of the digital storytelling workshop.

Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen citrate may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells

This phase IIb trial studies how well low-dose tamoxifen citrate works in reducing breast cancer risk in radiation-induced cancer survivors.

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of aerobic exercise training, delivered in a community-based setting, for improving cognitive function in post-menopausal Breast Cancer Survivors (BCS).

The purpose of this study is to determine if exercise improves cardiac remodeling as a way to mitigate the negative effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy which lead to reduced exercise tolerance.
