  • A Study Of Nivolumab And Multi-fraction Stereotactic Radiosurgery With Or Without Ipilimumab In Treating Participants With Recurrent Grade II-III Meningioma Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ; Jacksonville, FL; Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the side effects and best dose of nivolumab when given together with multi-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery and to see how well they work with or without ipilimumab in treating participants with grade II-III meningioma that has come back. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known whether giving nivolumab and multi-fraction ...

  • Nivolumab And Ipilimumab In Treating Patients With Esophageal And Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma Undergoing Surgery Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to anayze the usefulness of treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab in addition to standard of care chemotherapy and radiation therapy in patients with esophageal and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who are undergoing surgery. Immunotherapy with antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may remove the brake on the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy may reduce the tumor size and the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed during surgery. A combined treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy ...

  • A Study To Determine The Effects Of A Mechanical Device To Treat Swelling Of The Face And Neck Following Treatment For Cancer. Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ

    This study aims to assess the utility of pharyngeal manometry measures as a novel approach in quantifying  internal lymphedema and compare success rates in reducing internal lymphedema using manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) versus use of a pneumatic compression device (PCD). It also aims to assess efficacy of PCD and MLD and assess compliance of treatment in both groups. Lastly, it aims to identify voice and swallowing changes in both groups.

  • A Study to Evaluate Early Detection of SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 in High Risk Radiation Oncology Patients Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to develop algorithms that will enable earlier identification and testing triggers for COVID-19 in otherwise asymptomatic patients, and to identify baseline characteristics from patients who ultimately test positive for COVID-19 that may predict clinical trajectory during the evolution of disease.

     

  • A Registry For Children Treated With Proton Radiation Therapy Rochester, MN

    The purpose of the Pediatric Proton Consortium Registry (PPCR) is to enroll children who have been treated with proton radiation in the United States in order to describe the population that currently receives protons and better evaluate its benefits over other therapies. The data collected from this study will help facilitate research on proton beam radiation therapy and allow for collaborative research. The PPCR will collect demographic and clinical data which many centers that deliver proton radiation therapy already collect in routine operations.

  • Pre-op Pembro + Radiation Therapy In Breast Cancer (P-RAD) Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this trilal is to study a combination of neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT), immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy for lymph node-positive, triple negative (TN) or hormone receptor positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.

  • Study Of The Patient Radiation Dose During Five Endourological Procedures Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ

    In the medical world more and more procedures are performed with the use of ionizing radiation (x-ray), both diagnostic and therapeutic. The main and most known risk is the development of malignancies as a result of the use of ionizing radiation.

    Purpose of this study: To examine the patient radiation dose (PRD) if the frames per second (FPS) are set differently during the five most performed endourological procedures where fluoroscopy is used (insertion/replacement of ureteral stent, (mini-)percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL/PNL), ureterorenoscopy (URS) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL/SWL)) and to propose an acceptable PRD for these procedures in a multicentric study.

  • A Study To Determine The Effects Of COVID-19 In Cancer Patients Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ; Eau Claire, WI; La Crosse, WI; Mankato, MN; Rochester, MN

    The study aims to characterize patient factors, such as pre-existing comorbidities, cancer type and treatment, and demographic factors, associated with short- and long-term outcomes of COVID-19, including severity and fatality, in cancer patients undergoing treatment. The study also is aimed to describe cancer treatment modifications made in response to COVID-19, including dose adjustments, changes in symptom management, or temporary or permanent cessation. Lastely, evaluate the association of COVID-19 with cancer outcomes in patient subgroups defined by clinico-pathologic characteristics.

  • SPORT-DMG Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ; Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of hypofractionation with planned courses of re-irradiation for patients with diffuse midline gliomas of the pons.

    Subjects will be screened by neurosurgery, radiation oncology, or pediatric oncology at outpatient clinic or by the multidisciplinary pediatric central nervous system tumor conference. Interested qualified patients and their families will be consented and offered participation in this study

  • A Study to Compare Optimal MRI Timing for Pre-surgical Planning to LINAC-based Therapy Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this research is to compare two different standard-of-care pre-surgical imaging methods. 

  • Pre-operative Vs. Post-operative Radiosurgery For Metastatic Brain Tumors Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ; Jacksonville, FL; Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an increase in the time of a first occurrence of either: local recurrence, leptomeningeal disease, or symptomatic radiation brain necrosis in patients with brain metastases who receive SRS prior to surgery as compared to patients who receive surgery prior to SRS.

  • The NeoGlioma Study Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ; Jacksonville, FL; Rochester, MN

    This study aims to evaluate the safety of preoperative radiosurgery in the treatment of patients with biopsy-proven high grade glioma prior to conventional therapy. Safety is defined as any acute grade 3 (CTCAE v5.0) or greater unplanned adverse event from the time of enrollment until 4 weeks following postoperative radiotherapy.

  • Short Course Radiotherapy For The Treatment Of Patients With Glioblastoma, SAGA Study Albert Lea, MN; Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ; Eau Claire, WI; Jacksonville, FL; La Crosse, WI; Mankato, MN; Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferior 12-month overall survival of patients with GlioblastomA (GBM) treated with dose escalated hypofractionated radiotherapy compared to standard of care. Also, to demonstrate the safety and favorable quality of life via physician-reported G3+ toxicitycompare if SBRT is non-inferior to standard of care on the proportion of overall survival of patients with glioblastoma 12 months after randomization.
