Spotting early thinking and memory changes with immunotherapy
This study looks at how a special type of immunotherapy called CAR-T therapy might affect your thinking skills, memory, and ability to focus. By checking on patients early and often, the team hopes to find simple ways to detect and manage these side effects sooner.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06353191Recruiting
Blood markers to predict heart problems from cancer therapy
This study looks for early warning signs (biomarkers) of heart damage caused by cancer treatments. It is for people who have had cancer treatment, may have heart issues, or are about to start a treatment that could affect the heart.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06304168Recruiting
Blood, tissue, and urine tests to detect cancer early
This study is testing whether simple blood, tissue, and urine samples can help find cancer earlier and identify where it started. Participating could help improve future cancer detection for everyone.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06192875Recruiting
Blood test for early cancer detection: the NOMAD study
This study is testing a new blood test to look for early signs of cancer in people without a past cancer diagnosis. You would give blood, urine, and saliva samples to help researchers see if the test works well.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06126276RecruitingPhase 2
Testing neratinib with or without palbociclib for HER2+ solid tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs—neratinib alone or with palbociclib—for people with HER2-positive solid tumors (other than breast cancer) that have returned or not gone away. The goal is to see if blocking HER2 and CDK4/6 can shrink or slow the tumor.
Bemidji, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06075524Recruiting
How PD-1 therapy affects immune cells in advanced cancers
This study looks at how your immune system responds to PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy (drugs like Keytruda or Opdivo) for advanced melanoma, lung cancer, and similar cancers. It involves regular blood tests to track your immune cells, which may help doctors understand why these treatments work for some people better than others.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06015932Recruiting
Group stress management for cancer patients
This trial tests whether group therapy sessions can help cancer patients cope with stress. If you're feeling moderately distressed and have been treated for cancer recently, this program might help you manage those feelings.

Testing blood and tumor samples for diagnostic cancer markers
This study looks at blood and tumor tissue to find signs (markers) that can help diagnose or better understand metastatic cancer. You may be able to join if you’re getting surgery or a biopsy to remove a tumor and there’s a safe way to collect samples.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05411523Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation study for long-term chemotherapy nerve pain

What taking part in a malignant solid neoplasm study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
