Cancer Paid Clinical Trials in South Dakota

This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. Crizotinib may be an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer and an ALK fusion mutation. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to understand the breadth of molecular characteristics present in participants cared for in a large integrated, community-based health care system. Using comprehensive genomic profiling and proteomics, the investigators seek to identify the underlying genomic drivers of premalignant or malignant conditions in participants across different stages of disease development and cancer types. Comprehensive molecular profiling will consist of somatic tumor testing (tissue and/or blood) using whole exome sequencing, whole transcriptome sequencing, proteomics, and selected instances of whole genome sequencing. In addition, the investigators seek to perform broad hereditary cancer testing in affected participant populations. Hereditary testing has implications in screening, prognosis, and therapeutics for affected participants, as well as broad implications for genetic counseling and cascade testing. In order to maximize the value of genomic information, participants consented to this protocol will have their electronic health records (both retrospectively and prospectively) abstracted, curated, annotated and linked to genomic information obtained though the testing performed. Given the long-term value of this data, participants will also be asked to voluntarily consent to have their samples stored in a biobank and have their de-identified information used for future research. Information collected across this participant population will aid in advancing the investigators' knowledge of cancer biology, to discover and validate biomarkers associated with clinical outcomes, and shared in collaborative projects in order to promote the study of cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine the benefit of Cellworks Singula™ and Ventura™ reports on physician and molecular tumor board treatment recommendations across a large set of pan-cancer indications. Cellworks reports aim to provide NGS-based therapy recommendations to aid the decision-making of patients, physicians, and molecular tumor boards. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the benefit of Cellworks Singula™ reports on physician and molecular tumor board treatment recommendations across a large set of pan-cancer indications who have already received first-line therapy. The study is also to determine the benefit of Cellworks Ventura™ reports on physician and molecular tumor board treatment recommendations across a large set of relapsed or refractory pan-cancer indications. The primary objective of this study is to survey physicians and molecular tumor board perspectives of the benefit of Cellworks Singula™and Cellworks Ventura™ reports in facilitating treatment decisions in pan-cancer patients. Cellworks reports aim to provide NGS-based therapy recommendations to aid the decision-making of patients, physicians, and molecular tumor boards.
