Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT06122064Recruiting
Tool to help lung cancer patients decide on adjuvant treatment
This study is testing a tool to help you and your doctor make decisions together about whether to have extra treatment after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (stage 1B or higher). It only includes patients at Mayo Clinic in Rochester who are eligible for that extra treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.
Bemidji, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04181060RecruitingPhase 3
Osimertinib alone or with bevacizumab for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting osimertinib with or without bevacizumab helps people with advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. Your EGFR mutation test result and past treatments are key to whether you can join.
Bemidji, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04521764RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine for Metastatic Breast Cancer
This trial tests a vaccine (MV-s-NAP) that is injected directly into a tumor to stimulate your immune system against breast cancer. It is for people with metastatic breast cancer that has spread despite prior treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06096844RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus immunotherapy vs immunotherapy alone for older adults with advanced lung cancer
This trial compares chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy to immunotherapy alone for adults 70 and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific protein level (PD-L1 1-49%). It aims to find which treatment works better for this group.
Bemidji, MinnesotaAges 70 years+ - NCT06422806RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy plus chemo for aggressive sarcoma
This trial compares a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy (doxorubicin) versus chemotherapy alone for people with aggressive, poorly differentiated sarcomas that have spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps shrink tumors or slow their growth better than chemotherapy alone.
Bemidji, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05624996RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted high-dose radiation added to standard lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether adding high-dose, targeted radiation to the usual treatment helps people with locally advanced, non-operable lung cancer live longer or better control the cancer. It may help shrink tumors in the chest and improve outcomes when surgery can’t be done.
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+ - 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+ - NCT06616584RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cemiplimab plus standard care for advanced lung cancer after prior treatments
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab to standard treatment can help people with advanced lung cancer that has already progressed after both platinum chemo and a prior immunotherapy. It is designed for those who responded to their first immunotherapy for at least 12 weeks before the cancer started growing again.
Worthington, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06764095RecruitingPhase 4
Drug combo before bladder or ureter surgery for advanced cancer
This trial tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, given before surgery to remove the bladder or ureter in people with advanced bladder or upper urinary tract cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the cancer and improves outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06906562RecruitingPhase 2
Pemigatinib for advanced pancreatic cancer with FGFR changes
This trial tests a targeted pill, pemigatinib, for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has a specific FGFR gene change. The study is done entirely through telemedicine, so you can participate from home if eligible.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07510334RecruitingPhase 2
VSV Virus Plus Immunotherapy for Advanced Kidney Cancer
This trial tests a combination of a special virus (VSV-IFNβ-NIS) with two immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) for people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that hasn't been treated yet. It aims to see if this approach helps shrink tumors or slow the disease.

What taking part in a stage iii lung cancer ajcc v8 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.
