Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT04585958RecruitingPhase 1
DS-8201a plus olaparib for HER2-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether combining DS-8201a with olaparib can slow or shrink HER2-positive ovarian cancer that has returned quickly after platinum chemotherapy. It’s a Phase 1 study, meaning it mainly checks safety and finds the best dose, while also looking for signs of anti-cancer activity.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Pump chemotherapy plus standard chemo for liver-only colorectal spread
This study tests adding a chemotherapy “pump” directly into the liver along with standard chemotherapy, compared with standard chemotherapy alone. It’s for adults with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed, and who are responding to first chemotherapy.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Aitkin, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04511013RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for BRAF-mutant melanoma spread to the brain
This Phase 2 study tests whether a 3-drug plan (encorafenib + binimetinib + nivolumab) works better than ipilimumab + nivolumab for melanoma that has spread to the brain. If you qualify, you’ll get either treatment and have frequent brain scans to track how well it controls the tumors.
Cambridge, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05040360RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy after surgery for high-risk pancreatic NET tumors
This Phase 2 trial studies whether giving chemotherapy after surgery can lower cancer recurrence risk in people with high-risk pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). It may help you by testing an added treatment after the tumor has been removed.
Cambridge, 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+ - NCT06915727RecruitingPhase 3
Testing an imaging drug to see tumors in children having surgery
This study tests a special imaging drug called pafolacianine (Cytalux) that helps doctors see tumors more clearly during surgery. It is for children and teens who have a solid tumor in the body and are already scheduled for tumor removal or biopsy.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 6 months–17 years - NCT06997068RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for returning head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—methotrexate, erlotinib, and celecoxib—for people whose head and neck cancer has come back or spread. It is designed for patients in the rural Midwest who have already had or chosen not to have standard first treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06500481RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs standard radiation for cancer spread to brain/spine lining
This trial compares a newer type of radiation (proton therapy) to standard radiation for people whose breast or lung cancer has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It aims to see if proton therapy can better control the disease while causing fewer side effects.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04858009RecruitingPhase 2
Warm chemotherapy placed in the belly for pancreatic cancer spread
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment that warms chemotherapy and delivers it directly into the abdomen to treat pancreatic cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly (peritoneum). You may be eligible if you completed earlier chemotherapy and your body shows signs the cancer is responding, with limited spread in the abdomen.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT05753306RecruitingPhase 2
Robot surgery plus heated chemo for limited spread stomach cancer
This study tests a “robot-assisted” surgery to remove stomach cancer in the belly lining (peritoneum) along with heated chemotherapy placed inside the abdomen. It’s for people whose cancer has spread only in the peritoneum, aiming to control disease when there’s a good chance of removing it all.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT04901702RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Onivyde plus talazoparib or temozolomide for resistant solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding Onivyde to either talazoparib or temozolomide can shrink or control hard-to-treat (refractory or recurring) cancers in children and young adults. It aims to find safer dosing first, then look at how well the treatment works—especially for Ewing sarcoma.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 1–30 - NCT07227012RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced liver cancer
This trial tests a new medicine, PF-08634404, alone or with other treatments for adults with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It is for people who have not had prior systemic therapy and have good liver function.
Coon Rapids, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04665739RecruitingPhase 2
Lutetium Lu-177 for lung carcinoid tumors with somatostatin receptors
This trial tests lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, a targeted radiation treatment, for advanced lung neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors that have a specific marker called somatostatin receptors. It may help shrink tumors by delivering radiation directly to cancer cells that “light up” on a special scan.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04851119RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tegavivint for kids and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors
This early-phase study tests tegavivint to see how well it works and how safe it is for children and young adults with solid cancers that have come back or are not responding. It may be an option if your tumor type (including certain lymphomas or desmoid tumors) matches the study’s rules.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 1–30 - NCT06377696RecruitingPhase 2
Metformin study for brain tumor survivors after radiation
This study tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medicine, can help protect thinking and memory skills in people who have had radiation for a brain tumor. You will use a smartwatch and take online tests from home to track your progress.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Duluth, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT04868604RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Copper PSMA scan and treatment for prostate cancer in men on low testosterone
This trial tests a PSMA-targeted copper medicine used after a special PSMA PET/CT scan to find and treat prostate cancer that has spread. It’s for men whose testosterone is already very low and whose cancer is growing despite hormone-blocking medicines like enzalutamide or abiraterone.

What taking part in a metastatic malignant neoplasm in the liver 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.
