Abnormal Cervix Cells: CA-IX, p16, Proliferative Markers, and HPV in Diagnosing Cervical
Lesions in Patients With Abnormal Cervical Cells
Lead Researcher: Richard Moore
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether the presence of Human Papillomavirus
(HPV) and certain chemical substances (biomarkers) in cervical cells can help identify
which women with a cytologic diagnosis of AGC have a benign condition and which have
a pre-cancerous condition or an invasive cancer that requires surgical removal. Each
biomarker will be tested in both cervical cells (obtained similar to a Pap specimen)
and tissue (removed during a surgical procedure). Results of the testing will be
compared to see which biomarker or combination of biomarkers is the most accurate
at identifying which women with a cytologic diagnosis of AGC have a benign condition
and which have a pre-cancerous condition or an invasive cancer.
An additional goal of this study is to study DNA (genetic material) recovered from
tissue to determine if there are changes in the DNA that can tell which women with
a diagnosis of AGC have a benign condition and which have a pre-malignant condition
or invasive cancer.

Anti-VEGF Treatment for Prevention of PDR/DME
Multiple studies have implicated vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF as a major
causative
factor in human eye diseases characterized by neovascularization including proliferative
diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and vascular permeability including diabetic macular edema
(DME).
While there is strong evidence that PDR outcomes are markedly reduced in eyes that
are
treated with monthly anti-VEGF therapy (A Study of Ranibizumab Injection in Subjects
With
Clinically Significant Macular Edema (ME) With Center Involvement Secondary to Diabetes
Mellitus: RIDE/RISE) and moderately reduced in eyes that received fairly frequent
dosing
during the 1st year of treatment (Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network protocol
I),
it is unknown whether or not an earlier but less frequent dosing regimen would result
in
similar, favorable anatomic outcomes, and whether favorable anatomic outcomes subsequently
would result in favorable visual acuity outcomes.
If this study demonstrates that intravitreous aflibercept treatment is effective and
safe for
reducing the onset of PDR or center involved- DME (CI-DME) in eyes that are at high
risk for
these complications, a new strategy to prevent vision threatening complications of
diabetes
will be available for patients. The application of intravitreous aflibercept earlier
in the
course of disease (i.e., at the time when an eye has baseline severe non-proliferative
diabetic retinopathy) could help to reduce future potential treatment burden in patients,
at
the same time resulting in similar or better long-term visual outcomes, if PDR and
DME are
prevented.
The primary objectives of this protocol are to 1) determine the efficacy and safety
of
intravitreous aflibercept injections versus sham injections (observation) for prevention
of
PDR or CI-DME in eyes at high risk for development of these complications and 2) compare
long-term visual outcomes in eyes that receive anti-VEGF therapy early in the course
of
disease with those that are observed initially, and treated only if high-risk PDR
or CI-DME
with vision loss develops.
Secondary objectives include:
- Comparing other visual acuity outcomes between treatment groups, such as proportion
of
eyes with at least 10 or at least 15 letter loss from baseline, or gain or loss of
at
least 5 letters at the consecutive study visit just before and at the 2- or 4-year
visit
- Comparing optical coherence tomography (OCT) outcomes, such as mean change in OCT
central subfield thickness and volume from baseline
- Comparing proportion of eyes with at least 2 and 3-step worsening or improvement
of
diabetic retinopathy severity level (scale for individual eyes) by central reading
center from baseline
- Comparing associated treatment and follow-up exam costs between treatment groups
- Comparing safety outcomes between treatment groups

Antiandrogen Therapy and Radiation Therapy With or Without Docetaxel in Treating Patients
With Prostate Cancer That Has Been Removed by Surgery
Lead Researcher: Yuhchyau Chen
This randomized phase II/III trial studies docetaxel, antiandrogen therapy, and radiation
therapy to see how well it works compared with antiandrogen therapy and radiation
therapy alone in treating patients with prostate cancer that has been removed by surgery.
Androgen can cause the growth of prostate cells. Antihormone therapy may lessen the
amount of androgen made by the body. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to
kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel,
work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells,
by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving antiandrogen
therapy and radiation therapy with or without docetaxel after surgery may kill any
remaining tumor cells.

Aromatherapy for Integrated Cancer Care
Lead Researcher: Julie Wolf
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine the feasibility and effectiveness
of aromatherapy in relief of commonly reported symptoms in cancer patients undergoing
chemotherapy. Aromatherapy is a noninvasive, minimal risk intervention that could
potentially alleviate the severity of treatment-related symptoms. This study will
evaluate the ability of four aromatherapy scents (ginger, lavender, orange, jojoba)
to reduce the severity of seven chemotherapy-induced symptoms (nausea, vomiting, pain,
anxiety/distress, fatigue, sleep difficulties, and lack of appetite). As part of the
study, the participants will be asked to use an aromatherapy inhaler, which resembles
a lipstick container, during three chemotherapy cycles. The participants will use
the aromatherapy inhaler for 7 consecutive days. The investigators will ask the participants
questions regarding demographics, clinical information, current severity of symptoms,
and current methods of symptom management. There
is a non-intervention baseline cycle during which subjects rate the severity of the
seven different symptoms from 0 to 10 for seven consecutive days during their first
chemotherapy study cycle. The next two study cycles are intervention cycles using
the randomized aromatherapy. The participants will rate the severity of seven different
symptoms from 0 to 10 each day the aromatherapy inhaler during each of the three chemotherapy
cycles (i.e., 7 consecutive days during each chemotherapy cycle). Additionally, participants
will report if they felt the aromatherapy helped with certain symptoms and if he/she
were able to reduce taking extra medications for their symptoms. At the end of the
study, the participants will be asked about his/her satisfaction with the aromatherapy
used during the study. All of these measurements will provide a better understanding
of the effectiveness of aromatherapy for symptom management.

Biobanking of Rett Syndrome and Related Disorders
The overarching purpose of this study is to advance understanding of the natural history
of
Rett syndrome (RTT), MECP2-duplication disorder (MECP2 Dup), RTT-related disorders
including
CDKL5, FOXG1, and individuals with MECP2 mutations who do not have RTT. Although all
these
disorders are the result of specific genetic changes, there remains broad clinical
variation
that is not entirely accounted for by known biological factors. Additionally, clinical
investigators currently do not have any biomarkers of disease status, clinical severity,
or
responsiveness to therapeutic intervention. To address these issues, biological materials
(DNA, RNA, plasma, cell lines) will be collected from affected individuals and in
some cases
from unaffected family members, initial evaluation performed to identify additional
biological factors contributing to disease severity, and these materials will be stored
for
future characterization.

Brain Cancer: Phase 3 Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled Study of ICT-107 in Glioblastoma
Lead Researcher: Nimish Mohile
Glioblastoma is the most common and fastest growing type of brain tumor (lump of abnormal
cells). There are not many treatment options available for glioblastoma. The standard
treatment for glioblastoma involves a combination of removing as much of the tumor
as possible during surgery, followed by radiation therapy (radiotherapy) and chemotherapy
(namely Temozolomide). Unfortunately, even after these treatments, the tumor often
comes back. Because glioblastoma is so difficult to treat, a company called ImmunoCellular
Therapeutics, Ltd. is trying to find a treatment that may work better than the options
that are currently available. Therefore, ImmunoCellular is conducting a study to find
out if adding treatment with an investigational medicine (ICT-107) helps to prevent
brain tumors from coming back so soon after surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy and
if it helps people with brain tumors live longer compared to standard treatment alone.
An “investigational medicine” is a medicine that is being tested and is not approved
for sale in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is
a Phase III study, which means that it is designed to confirm results seen in earlier
studies with ICT-107.

Brain Cancer: Radiation Therapy With Concomitant and Adjuvant Temozolomide or Radiation
Therapy With Adjuvant PCV or Temozolomide Alone in Treating Patients With Anaplastic
Glioma
Lead Researcher: Nimish Mohile
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy,
such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either
by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

Brain Cancer: Temozolomide With or Without Veliparib in Treating Patients With Newly
Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme
Lead Researcher: Nimish Mohile
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well temozolomide and veliparib work
and compare them to temozolomide alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma
multiforme. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways
to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from
dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor
cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known
whether temozolomide is more effective with or without veliparib in treating glioblastoma
multiforme.

Breast Cancer: Phase III study of hormone therapy with or without the study drug (Everolimus)
in high risk hormone receptor positive & HER-2 negative breast cancer (S1207)
Lead Researcher: Michelle Shayne
The purpose of this study is to see whether treatment with everolimus plus hormone
treatment after chemotherapy will increase the time without your cancer returning.
The current standard treatment after chemotherapy is hormone treatment alone. Everolimus
is a drug currently approved for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic
kidney cancer or breast cancer. It is considered investigational for non-metastatic
breast cancer patients. In this study you will get hormone treatment with either
everolimus or with placebo (a placebo is a tablet that looks like the active drug,
but has no active drug in it). The combination of hormone-treatment and everolimus
is experimental in patients with breast cancer.

This randomized phase III trial studies brentuximab vedotin and combination chemotherapy
to
see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating children
and
young adults with stage IIB or stage IIIB-IVB Hodgkin lymphoma. Combinations of biological
substances in brentuximab vedotin may be able to carry cancer-killing substances directly
to
Hodgkin lymphoma cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride,
bleomycin sulfate, vincristine sulfate, etoposide, prednisone, and cyclophosphamide,
work in
different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by
stopping
them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if combination
chemotherapy is more effective with or without brentuximab vedotin in treating Hodgkin
lymphoma.

a much
greater risk for developing heart failure compared to survivors who didn?t get any
anthracycline chemotherapy. Heart failure happens when the heart muscle has been weakened
and
can?t pump blood as well as it should. Carvedilol may help lower the risk of cardiovascular
complications.

Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy With or Without Metformin Hydrochloride in Treating
Patients With Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
This randomized phase II trial studies how well chemotherapy and radiation therapy
given with
or without metformin hydrochloride works in treating patients with stage III non-small
cell
lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work
in
different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by
stopping
them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy
x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Metformin hydrochloride may shrink tumors
and
keep them from coming back. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy and radiation
therapy is
more effective when given with or without metformin hydrochloride in treating stage
III
non-small cell lung cancer.

This randomized phase III trial studies chemotherapy and bevacizumab to see how well
they
work compared to chemotherapy alone in treating patients with stage IB, stage II,
or stage
IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that was removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy
work
in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells,
by stopping
them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug
(combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such
as
bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab
also may stop the growth of non-small cell lung cancer by blocking the growth of new
blood
vessels necessary for tumor growth. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more
effective with or without bevacizumab in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
This randomized phase II clinical trial studies whether the addition of nivolumab
to
cisplatin (or carboplatin) and etoposide will improve outcomes when treating patients
with
extensive stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cisplatin,
carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells,
either
by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune
system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow
and
spread. Giving cisplatin/carboplatin and etoposide together with nivolumab may work
better in
treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer.

Developmental Impact of NICU Exposures (DINE)
The DINE study will test the hypothesis that potentially avoidable NICU-based exposures
contribute to the neuro-cognitive and somatic impairments prevalent among NICU graduates.
This hypothesis is drawn from the documented impact of phthalate exposure on early
development in term-born children, and the acknowledged presence of these toxic chemicals
in
the NICU. Third trimester in utero exposure to phthalates have been linked to poorer
childhood performance in cognition, motor function, attention, hyperactivity and social
behavior. Phthalate exposure is also associated with altered onset of puberty and
asthma. The

Evaluation of Multiple Protein and Molecular Biomarkers to Estimate Risk of Cancer
in Gynecology Patients Presenting With a Pelvic Mass.
ANGLE has developed the Parsortix™ Cell Separation System (Parsortix), an automated
system
capable of harvesting rare circulating cells for analysis from a sample of peripheral
blood
based on cellular size and deformability. In a small pilot study, scientists at the
Medical
University of Vienna demonstrated that measurement of a combination of mRNA markers
extracted
from CTCs captured using the Parsortix system could be used to identify women with
ovarian
cancer. This study is designed to provide specimens for optimization of an assay using
clinical and biomarker information (i.e. demographics, imaging results and/or serum
tumor
markers) in combination with mRNA extracted from rare cells in the blood of women
presenting
with a pelvic mass for the detection of malignancy.
Primary Objective: Optimization of an assay/algorithm for the differentiation of women
with
benign pelvic masses from those with malignant pelvic masses using clinical and biomarker
information (i.e. demographics, imaging results and/or serum tumor markers) in combination
with mRNA markers extracted from rare cells isolated from whole blood. Multiple serum
protein
markers and mRNA markers will be measured, and the results will be compared to the
actual
clinical diagnosis made for each subject through other recognized methods (i.e.
histopathology). Statistical modeling will be used to combine the clinical information,
serum
protein markers and/or mRNA markers for estimation of the risk of malignancy. If successful,
the resulting risk algorithm will be evaluated in future, appropriately powered, prospective
studies.
Exploratory Objective: Use statistical modeling to determine the need for and/or preliminary
design of a mathematical algorithm to combine the clinical information, serum protein
markers
and/or mRNA markers for estimation of the risk of malignancy.

Fulvestrant and/or Anastrozole in Treating Postmenopausal Patients With Stage II-III
Breast Cancer Undergoing Surgery
The study is being conducted to determine whether neoadjuvant endocrine therapy with
fulvestrant or the combination of anastrozole and fulvestrant, is better than anastrozole
when given before surgery to shrink the cancer and stop it from growing. Anastrozole
inhibits
tumor growth by reducing the levels of estrogen and has been approved by the Food
and Drug
Administration (FDA) of the United States for use after surgery for postmenopausal
women with
estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. It is also considered a standard of care
to give
anastrozole for a few months before surgery to shrink the tumor. Fulvestrant inhibits
tumor
cell growth by reducing the levels of estrogen receptor in the tumor cell. It is not
approved
by the FDA for use in women with early stage breast cancer before or after surgery,
but is
approved by the FDA for patients with advanced (Stage 4) estrogen receptor positive
breast
cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

Gastrointestinal (pancreas) Cancer: Glufosfamide Versus 5-FU in Second Line Metastatic
Pancreatic Cancer
Lead Researcher: Marcus Noel
Glufosfamide is being compared against Fluorouracil (5-FU). Fluorouracil is approved
by the FDA for use in people with rectal cancer. 5-FU was the drug of choice for pancreatic
cancer before gemcitabine and is still used in multiple regimens such as folfox and
Folfirinox as part of standard of care.
The study drug is made of glucose (a sugar made by the body) and a substance which
damages or kills cancer cells. Cancer cells depend on sugar more than normal cells
do, so the cancer cells may take up more of the study drug than normal cells. This
may allow glufosfamide to attack the cancer cells without causing excessive damage
to the normal cells.

Gemcitabine Hydrochloride With or Without Erlotinib Hydrochloride Followed by the
Same Chemotherapy Regimen With or Without Radiation Therapy and Capecitabine or Fluorouracil
in Treating Patients With Pancreatic Cancer That Has Been Removed by Surgery
This randomized phase II-R/III trial studies gemcitabine hydrochloride with or without
erlotinib hydrochloride followed by the same chemotherapy regimen with or without
radiation
therapy and capecitabine or fluorouracil in treating patients with pancreatic cancer
that was
removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride,
capecitabine, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor
cells,
either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from
spreading. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking
some of the
enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill
tumor
cells. Giving chemotherapy together with or without erlotinib hydrochloride and/or
radiation
therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not
yet known
whether chemotherapy is more effective when given with or without erlotinib hydrochloride
and/or radiation therapy in treating pancreatic cancer.

Improving Well-Being for Older Adult Family Dementia Caregivers
Lead Researcher: Kathi Heffner
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of the Mindfulness-Based Stress
Reduction (MBSR) program and the Living Well (LW) for Dementia Caregivers program,
compared to any usual care, to see if the programs might be associated with better
immune function, physical and emotional health, and well-being.
This study is looking for individuals age 55 and up who are caring for a loved one
(such as a spouse, parent, close friend) who has dementia. Participation includes
attending a weekly small group meeting over eight weeks for one of two study programs
(determined randomly). Both programs address ways of improving physical and emotional
well-being in the context of dementia caregiving. These 8-week programs typically
begin in late August at Monroe Community Hospital.

Individualized Treatment in Treating Patients With Stage II-IVB Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Based on EBV DNA
There are two study questions we are asking in this randomized phase II/III trial
based on a
blood biomarker, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for locoregionally
advanced non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. All patients will first undergo standard
concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. When this standard treatment is completed,
if
there is no detectable EBV DNA in their plasma, then patients are randomized to either
standard adjuvant cisplatin and fluorouracil chemotherapy or observation. If there
is still
detectable levels of plasma EBV DNA, patients will be randomized to standard cisplatin
and
fluorouracil chemotherapy versus gemcitabine and paclitaxel. Radiation therapy uses
high
energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin,
fluorouracil, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and paclitaxel work in different ways to
stop the
growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing,
or by
stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving cisplatin and fluorouracil
is more effective than gemcitabine hydrochloride and paclitaxel after radiation therapy
in
treating patients with nasopharyngeal cancer.

Leukemia (AML & MDS): Connect® MDS and AML: The Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) and
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Disease Registry
Lead Researcher: Jason Mendler
This study is observational. An observational disease registry study means that only
information about your disease and medical treatment that your study doctor is already
prescribing as part of your standard medical care is collected. Standard medical care
is the treatment normally given for a certain condition or illness.
You will continue with your standard medical care and continue with any medicines
you are now taking, office visits and laboratory testing according to the normal routine
practices of your treating or study doctor(s). No additional medication, or payment
for medication, is provided as part of this study. There is no investigational drug
involved in this study. There will be no additional study visits, procedures, or
testing required for this study. We will only collect this information as it relates
to the standard medical care you are receiving. If you give your consent to participate
in this study, your study doctor will inform your treating doctor(s), if applicable,
that you are taking part in this study.

Leukemia (AML): An Efficacy and Safety Study of AG-221 (CC-90007) Versus Conventional
Care Regimens in Older Subjects With Late Stage Acute Myeloid Leukemia Harboring an
Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 2 Mutation (IDHENTIFY)
Lead Researcher: Jason Mendler
Isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) is a type of protein involved in metabolism (the
process of providing your body’s cells with energy). In certain types of diseases
such as AML, an abnormal form of the IDH2 protein is present in the diseased cells.
When IDH2 is present in this form, it produced an excess amount of 2-hydroxyglutarate
(2-HG), which is a substance that is normally present at low levels in cells. When
2-HG is present in excessive amounts, it may keep cells from maturing into normal
functioning cells and may cause them to become diseased.
AG-221 is designed to only block the abnormal forms of the IDH2 protein and thus may
reduce 2-HG levels in diseased cells to normal levels. As AG-221 targets only the
abnormal IDH2 protein (rather than the normal form of this protein), you will need
to provide samples of bone marrow and peripheral blood for testing to see if your
diseased cells carry an abnormal IDH2 gene (a gene is a molecular part that deals
with heredity).

Safety and Tolerability of Durvalumab (anti-PD-L1 Antibody) as Monotherapy and in
Combination Therapy in Subjects With Lymphoma or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Lead Researcher: Carla Casulo
Durvalumab is an antibody (a protein that works with your immune system) that attaches
to a molecule known as “programmed-cell-death ligand 1” (PD-L1). Signals from PD-L1
help cancers avoid detection by the immune system. Durvalumab blocks these signals,
interfering with the cancer’s ability to escape the immune system.

Leukemia: A program for monitoring minimal residual disease following treatment of
patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia or High Grade Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
Lead Researcher: Michael Becker
This study is being performed to develop better tests to determine the impact of the
therapy you are receiving for treatment of your AML or MDS and to determine if these
tests can identify those patients who are at a greater risk for having their disease
relapse. Following therapy, the majority of patients with AML and many patients with
MDS will achieve a remission that is defined by the lack of any evidence of the disease
when viewing bone marrow samples under a microscope. Despite the absence of disease
by this method, many patients in remission will still have what is referred to as
Minimal Residual Disease when more sensitive methods are applied. That is, even though
the disease cannot be seen by routine staining under the microscope, more sensitive
tests can detect its presence. The presence of Minimal Residual Disease following
therapy does not guarantee that the patient will experience a relapse. This is likely
a result of the failure of these techniques to examine those cells that are responsible
for disease relapse. Recent data suggests that in the majority of patients with AML
or MDS only a minor population of the malignant cells are capable of maintaining the
disease and are likely responsible for relapse following therapy. This minor population
of cells can be identified by the proteins they have on their surface. This study
tests the ability to identify Minimal Residual Disease following therapy by performing
special assays that specifically target this minor population of malignant cells.

Longitudinal Evaluation of Amyloid Risk and Neurodegeneration - the LEARN Study
The LEARN study a multicenter, observational study will that will evaluate the rate
of
cognitive change in approximately 500 clinically normal older individuals who "screen-fail"
for the A4 trial on the basis of their screening PET imaging not demonstrating evidence
of
elevated amyloid accumulation (Aβ negative) but meet all other A4 study eligibility
criteria.
This study will leverage the A4 infrastructure and maximize the data acquired in screening
a
large number of well-characterized older adults for the A4 trial.
The LEARN observational cohort will provide a critical comparison group for the A4
placebo
arm, and future trials in preclinical AD. Although accumulating longitudinal data
suggest
that older individuals with elevated Aβ burden are at increased risk of cognitive
decline, it
is important to demonstrate a differential rate of clinical decline between Aβe ("Aβ
elevated") and Aβne ("Aβ not elevated") individuals on a standardized set of clinical
outcomes. Over 2000 well-characterized, highly motivated older volunteers will "screen
fail"
for the A4 trial. The LEARN study will follow 500 of these individuals, matched as
closely as
possible to the two treatment arms, in this observation cohort. The LEARN study may
selectively recruit from a specific range of SUVr that fall below the threshold for
"elevated
amyloid" in order to support analyses of the relationship of baseline SUVr to subsequent
cognitive change and amyloid accumulation. The observational cohort will be followed
for 168
weeks with identical clinical/cognitive testing performed every 24 weeks, running
parallel to
the A4 treatment study.

Lung Cancer: "Lung-MAP" S1400 ~ Biomarker-Targeted Second-Line Therapy in Treating
Patients With Recurrent Stage IIIB-IV Squamous Cell Lung Cancer
Lead Researcher: Eric Kim
The purpose of this study screening step is to perform genetic tests on your tumor
sample for certain features that investigational targeted agents used in this study
are specifically designed to work against.
The purpose of the treatment part of this study is to compare the effects, good and
bad, of these investigational agents to the usual approach to treating your type of
cancer. It may be possible that you will not be able to participate in the treatment
part of this study. This could happen if it is unsafe for you to receive the investigational
treatment. You may also choose to not participate in the treatment portion of the
study. Before you decide to get treatment on the study, you will be given information
about the study treatment and you will be asked if you wish to continue on this research
study.
The study has two steps:
• The initial screening step where we will examine your tumor tissue, and
• The sub-study treatment step which will be discussed in a separate consent form.
There will be many sub-studies that are open for patients at a given time. The sub-study
that you will be offered will depend on a combination of the results of the testing
done on your tumor sample, and which sub-studies are available when you are ready
to get treatment on this study. The testing done on you tumor sample is examining
the presence or absence of certain biomarkers. These biomarkers are either changes
in genes or proteins in cancer cells that may be associated with cancer growth.
If your tumor has just one biomarker with a sub-study designed for that biomarker,
you will be assigned to that sub-study. If your tumor has multiple biomarkers with
sub-studies designed for them, you will be assigned to one of the related biomarker
sub-studies randomly (by chance).
Additionally, once you are assigned to a sub-study, a computer will assign you by
chance to one of the treatment groups in the sub-study. This is called “randomization.”
This is done by chance because no one knows if one treatment is better or worse than
the other. In each of the sub-studies an investigational treatment will be compared
to a standard treatment.

This study has two treatment groups: Group 1: For the first 6 days, you will get the
usual chemotherapy (BEAM or CBV), plus the study drug ibrutinib. Then, you will receive
ibrutinib for 12 months following AutoHCT. Group 2: For the first 6 days, you will
get the usual chemotherapy (BEAM or CBV), plus a placebo (a pill that looks like the
study drug but contains no medication). Then, you will receive a placebo for 12 months
following AutoHCT. However, if you were to progress or relapse while taking the placebo,
you would be offered treatment with the study drug, ibrutinib, at that time. The researchers
want to know if adding ibrutinib to the usual chemotherapy given with AutoHCT could
prevent your lymphoma from returning in the future. However, the addition of this
medication could also cause side effects that the researchers want to know about.

Lymphoma/Leukemia (CLL/SLL): A Study Comparing BGB-3111 With Bendamustine Plus Rituximab
in Patients With Previously Untreated CLL or SLL
Lead Researcher: Paul Barr
If you decide to participate in this study; as part of the screening tests for the
study, your blood will be tested to determine whether you have CLL/SLL that has a
mutation (a change) in one of the chromosomes called ‘17p deletion’.
If you have CLL/SLL that does not have the 17p deletion, you will be in Cohort 1 and
will be randomly assigned by a computer program to one of the following treatment
groups in Cohort 1: BGB-3111 or B+R. When you are “randomly assigned” it means you
are put into a group by chance, like flipping a coin. Neither you nor your study
doctor may choose the treatment you will take. You will have an equal chance of receiving
either treatment in Cohort 1.
If your CLL/SLL has the 17p deletion, you will be assigned to Cohort 2 and will receive
BGB-3111.

Lymphoma: A Phase 2 Multicenter Study Evaluating Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory
Mantle Cell Lymphoma (ZUMA-2)
Lead Researcher: Patrick Reagan
The sponsor is testing an experimental treatment named KTE-C19, which uses the patient’s
own genetically altered blood cells to treat cancer. KTE-C19 is made from blood cells
that are removed from the patient. A virus (retrovirus) is used to introduce a gene
that creates a protein (called a chimeric antigen receptor or CAR) on the surface
of T cells, a type of blood cell that fights infection and eliminates cancer cells.
The hope is that the CAR on the T cells will bind to and kill cells that express CD19,
a molecule that is found on B-cell lymphomas.

Lymphoma: Brentuximab vedotin and involved site radiotherapy in newly diagnosed, unfavorable
risk Hodgkin lymphoma.
Lead Researcher: Carla Casulo
Early stage, high risk HL has a chance of coming back after standard treatment. The
best treatment for early stage, high risk HL is chemotherapy followed by radiation.
The chemotherapy is called ABVD and has four drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA): doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine. This is a pilot phase
II study of a new treatment plan for your HL. The treatment consists of a new drug,
brentuximab vedotin (BV), combined with adriamycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (AVD)
chemotherapy followed by radiation. The purpose of this study is to find out whether
BV with AVD chemotherapy and radiation is a safe and effective treatment. BV is a
type of drug called an antibody drug conjugate. BV has 2 parts; a part that targets
cancer cells (the antibody) and a cell killing part (the chemotherapy). The antibody
part of BV sticks to a target called CD30. CD30 is an important molecule on HL cancer
cells and some normal cells of the immune system. The cell killing part of BV is a
chemotherapy called monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). It can kill cells that the antibody
part of BV sticks to.

Maintenance Chemotherapy or Observation Following Induction Chemotherapy and Radiation
Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Ependymoma
This partially randomized phase III trial is studying maintenance chemotherapy to
see how
well it works compared to observation following induction chemotherapy and radiation
therapy
in treating young patients with newly diagnosed ependymoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy,
such
as vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, and cisplatin, work
in
different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by
stopping
them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug
(combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy
x-rays to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose
of
radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to
normal
tissue. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells and allow
doctors to save the part of the body where the cancer started.

Maintenance Chemotherapy With or Without Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Treating
Patients With Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well giving maintenance chemotherapy
with or
without stereotactic body radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage
IV
non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in maintenance chemotherapy, such as docetaxel,
pemetrexed disodium, and gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of
tumor
cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping
them from
spreading. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy
that sends
x-rays directly to the tumor using smaller doses over several days and may cause less
damage
to normal tissue. Giving maintenance chemotherapy and stereotactic body radiation
therapy
together may work better than maintenance chemotherapy alone in treating patients
with stage
IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Memantine Hydrochloride and Whole-Brain Radiotherapy With or Without Hippocampal Avoidance
in Reducing Neurocognitive Decline in Patients With Brain Metastases
This randomized phase III trial compares memantine hydrochloride and whole-brain radiotherapy
with or without hippocampal avoidance in reducing neurocognitive decline in patients
with
cancer that has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to the brain.
Whole
brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is the most common treatment for brain metastasis. Unfortunately,
the majority of patients with brain metastases experience cognitive (such as learning
and
memory) deterioration after WBRT. Memantine hydrochloride may enhance cognitive function
by
binding to and inhibiting channels of receptors located in the central nervous system.
Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Using
radiation techniques, such as intensity modulated radiotherapy to avoid the hippocampal
region during WBRT, may reduce the radiation dose to the hippocampus and help limit
the
radiation-induced cognitive decline. It is not yet known whether giving memantine
hydrochloride and WBRT with or without hippocampal avoidance works better in reducing
neurocognitive decline in patients with brain metastases.

Milrinone in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) usually have pulmonary hypoplasia
and
persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) leading to hypoxemic respiratory
failure (HRF). Pulmonary hypertension associated with CDH is frequently resistant
to
conventional pulmonary vasodilator therapy including inhaled nitric oxide (iNO). Increased
pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) can lead to right ventricular overload and dysfunction.
In patients with CDH, left ventricular dysfunction, either caused by right ventricular
overload or a relative underdevelopment of the left ventricle, is associated with
poor
prognosis. Milrinone is an intravenous inotrope and lusitrope (enhances cardiac systolic
contraction and diastolic relaxation respectively) with pulmonary vasodilator properties
and
has been shown anecdotally to improve oxygenation in PPHN. Milrinone is commonly used
during
the management of CDH although no randomized trials have been performed to test its
efficacy.
Thirty percent of infants with CDH in the Children's Hospital Neonatal Database (CHND)
and
22% of late-preterm and term infants with CDH in the Pediatrix database received milrinone.
In the recently published VICI trial, 84% of patients with CDH received a vasoactive
medication. In the current pilot trial, neonates with an antenatal or postnatal diagnosis
of
CDH will be randomized to receive milrinone or placebo to establish safety of this
medication
in CDH and test its efficacy in improving oxygenation.

Multiple Cancers: A Study Exploring the Safety and Efficacy of INCAGN01949 in Combination
With Immune Therapies in Advanced or Metastatic Malignancies
Lead Researcher: Marcus Noel
This study has 2 phases; depending on when you are enrolled into the study and what
type of cancer you have, you will participate in 1 of the 2 phases.
Phase 1 is the “Dose Escalation” portion of the Study. Certain dose levels of INCAGN01949,
when given together with nivolumab and/or ipilimumab, will be evaluated in small groups
of subjects (also called “cohorts”) with advanced or metastatic cervical cancer, uterine
cancer, stomach cancer, throat cancer, liver cancer, specific types of skin cancer,
a specific subtype of colon cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer,
kidney cancer, a certain type of breast cancer, and bladder and urinary tract cancer.
Subjects will be observed for a minimum of 28 days before the dose is increased for
the next cohort. Phase 1 subjects will enroll into 1 of 3 different Study Drug Combination
groups. Enrollment in this phase of the Study will continue until the highest dose
of INCAGN01949 that is safe and tolerated by most subjects is found.Some subjects
will be enrolled into safety expansion cohorts within Phase 1. These subjects will
receive the same combinations and doses given in the dose escalation part of the study,
however the administration of nivolumab and/or ipilimumab will begin after 2 cycles
of INCAGN01949 are given.
Phase 2 is the “Dose Expansion” portion of the Study. The dose of INCAGN01949 determined
to be safe during the Phase 1 (Dose Escalation) portion of the Study will be given
together with nivolumab and/or ipilimumab to subjects with kidney cancer or bladder
and urinary tract cancer in 1 of 6 different Study Drug Combination groups. The dose
of INCAGN01949 you receive in this Study will depend on the dose level being tested
at the time you are enrolled. The doses of nivolumab and ipilimumab administered to
you in this Study will not change.

Paramedic Coached ED Care Transitions to Help Older Adults Maintain Their Health
The emergency department (ED) is a common source of acute illness care for older adults.
Many
older adults who are discharged home from the ED return within 30 days due to numerous
challenges faced during the ED-to-home transition. Unless programs to improve the
ED-to-home
transition are identified, the health and financial costs will only increase as the
older
adult population doubles by 2040. This study will apply Coleman's Care Transitions
Intervention to the ED-to-home transition by adapting the program to account for the
unique
aspects of the ED setting. The research will evaluate the process, ED use, and cost
outcomes
of a community-based, paramedic-coordinated Care Transitions Intervention. Upon completion,
this study will provide empiric evidence regarding this innovative approach to help
the
rapidly growing older adult population remain healthy and independent after an ED
visit.

Peer Led Asthma Self Management for Adolescents: PLASMA
Asthma is a serious chronic health condition particularly in inner-city adolescents,
who
suffer disproportionately high asthma-related morbidity and mortality that place heavy
economic burdens on families and society. There is a consensus that adverse asthma
outcomes
can be ameliorated by an individual's active engagement in adequate self-management.
This
multi-site randomized controlled study proposes to implement and evaluate a peer-led
asthma
self-management for adolescents (PLASMA) program that has demonstrated its feasibility
and
preliminary efficacy in a previous study. PLASMA will be implemented in three cities
(Buffalo
NY, Baltimore MD, and Memphis TN) that have particularly high rates of pediatric asthma
and
asthma-related morbidity, and are thus most likely to benefit from the program. PLASMA
comprises three main components: (a) peer-leader training; (b) a one-day asthma camp
where
peer leaders will deliver manualized self-management content recommended by the national
guidelines; and (c) bi-monthly peer-leader contacts. Specific aims are: (1) to evaluate
the
effectiveness of PLASMA in inner-city adolescents with asthma in improving quality
of life
(primary outcome), and asthma knowledge, attitudes, outcome expectations, self-efficacy,
self-management skills, and asthma control, FEV1 (exploratory outcomes) over time,
compared
to a control group for whom adult leaders will deliver the same program content; (2)
to
examine the mediating effects of the exploratory outcomes on quality of life; (3)
to examine
the moderating effects of personal factors (e.g., age, sex, family support) on the
intervention's primary and exploratory outcomes; (4) to evaluate the effects of PLASMA
on
study outcomes in peer leaders (16-20 years); and (5) to determine the economic impact
of the
intervention. These aims will be accomplished using a two-group randomized controlled
trial
with 378 adolescents (12-17 years) from the three cities (126 for each site). A total
of 42
qualified peer leaders (14 in each site) will be enrolled based on adult nomination.
Eligibility criteria for both peer leaders and adolescent learners include: a current
asthma
diagnosis; persistent asthma; absence of other chronic or mental illness; inner-city
residence; and capability of verbal and written communication in English. Participants
will
provide data at enrollment (T1), camp (T2), and at 3-, 6-, 9-, 12-, and 15-months
post-camp
(T3-T7). Data will be analyzed using a multi-site hierarchical three-level linear
mixed-effects model where level 1 represents repeated measures, level 2 = subject,
and level
3 = site. To determine the economic impact of the program, investigator will measure
the
direct healthcare costs and total costs of the program, and perform net cost analyses
for
each type of costs. In addition, investigator will estimate cost-effectiveness ratios
of the
PLASMA group compared with the control.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled, Phase 2 study to assess
the
safety, tolerability, and efficacy of PB1046 at the optimally titrated dose after
16 weeks of
treatment. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to one of two parallel dose
groups: a)
high-dose group where PB1046 will be up-titrated from a 0.2 mg/kg minimally effective
starting dose to a target high dose level of at least 1.2 mg/kg or higher to a maximally
tolerated dose (MTD), or b) a low-dose group that will start at 0.2 mg/kg and remain
at this
minimally effective dose (MED) level with sham up-titration. The total treatment period
will
be comprised of 2 phases: 1) an initial 10 week dose titration phase in which weekly
doses of
PB1046 will be titrated (or sham titrated) up to a target dose level of at least 1.2
mg/kg or
higher to the MTD, and 2) a maintenance of treatment phase that begins when subjects
reach
week 11 and continues for 6 weeks during which no further up-titration should occur.

Phase 4 Study of Obeticholic Acid Evaluating Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Primary
Biliary Cholangitis
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a serious, life-threatening, bile acid related
liver
disease of unknown cause. Without treatment, it frequently progresses to liver fibrosis
and
eventual cirrhosis requiring liver transplantation or resulting in death. The investigational
drug, Obeticholic Acid (OCA) is a modified bile acid and FXR agonist that is derived
from the
primary human bile acid chenodeoxycholic acid. The key mechanisms of action of OCA,
including
its choleretic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic properties, underlie its
hepatoprotective effects and result in attenuation of injury and improved liver function
in a
cholestatic liver disease such as PBC. The study will assess the effect of OCA compared
to
placebo, combined with stable standard care, on clinical outcomes in PBC patients.

Rectal Cancer: Phase II/III study of FOLFOX chemotherapy with or without radiation
treatment before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. (N1048)
Lead Researcher: Mohamedtaki Tejani
The standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer involves chemotherapy and
radiation, known as 5FUCMT, (the chemotherapy drugs, 5-fluorouracil/capecitabine and
radiation therapy) prior to surgery. This results in high rates of disease control
with significant side effects.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the standard treatment of chemotherapy
and radiation to chemotherapy alone. The aim of this study is to determine if we
can reduce the side effects while still controlling the disease. The chemotherapy
alone is the combination regimen known as FOLFOX, (the drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU),
oxaliplatin and leucovorin). Depending on the response to FOLFOX you may also receive
the standard treatment 5FUCMT. The drugs used in this study are all FDA (Food and
Drug Administration) approved for the treatment of colorectal cancer. The use of FOLFOX
chemotherapy alone in place of 5FUCMT is experimental. In case FOLFOX chemotherapy
alone does not work, you will receive standard treatment which is 5FUCMT followed
by surgery.

Reduced Craniospinal Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Younger Patients
With Newly Diagnosed WNT-Driven Medulloblastoma
This phase II trial studies how well reduced doses of radiation therapy to the brain
and
spine (craniospinal) and chemotherapy work in treating patients with newly diagnosed
type of
brain tumor called WNT)/Wingless (WNT)-driven medulloblastoma. Recent studies using
chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been shown to be effective in treating patients
with
WNT-driven medulloblastoma. However, there is a concern about the late side effects
of
treatment, such as learning difficulties, lower amounts of hormones, or other problems
in
performing daily activities. Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation from x-rays to
kill
cancer cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, vincristine
sulfate, cyclophosphamide and lomustine, work in different ways to stop the growth
of tumor
cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping
them from
spreading. Giving reduced craniospinal radiation therapy and chemotherapy may kill
tumor
cells and may also reduce the late side effects of treatment.

with newly diagnosed standard-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia or B-lineage lymphoblastic
lymphoma that is found only in the tissue or organ where it began (localized). Drugs
used in
chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by
killing the
cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving
more than
one drug (combination chemotherapy), giving the drugs in different doses, and giving
the
drugs in different combinations may kill more cancer cells.

Rituximab for Treatment of Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
(SSc-PAH)
Systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-PAH) is a serious,
life-threatening manifestation of systemic sclerosis (SSc), an autoimmune disease
of the
connective tissue characterized by scarring (fibrosis) and atrophy of the skin, joints
and
tendons, skeletal muscles, and internal organs, and immunological disturbances. One-year
survival for patients with SSc-PAH ranges from 50-81%. There is currently no cure
for SSc-PAH
and treatment is limited to vasodilator therapy used in all forms of PAH. In recent
studies,
immunotherapy was shown to be effective in treating SSc-interstitial lung disease,
another
serious, life-threatening manifestation of SSc. In addition, there are compelling
pre-clinical data and anecdotal clinical reports that suggest modulation of the immune
system
may be an effective strategy for treating SSc-PAH. To test this approach, this trial
will
determine if rituximab, an immunotherapy, has a marked beneficial effect on clinical
disease
progression, with minimal toxicity, in patients with SSc-PAH when compared to placebo.

S1106 Rituximab With Combination Chemotherapy or Bendamustine Hydrochloride Followed
by Consolidation Chemotherapy and Stem Cell Transplantation in Older Patients With
Previously Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different
ways. Some find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances
to them.
Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in
chemotherapy also work in different ways to kill more cancer cells or stop them from
growing.
It is not yet known whether rituximab is more effective with combination chemotherapy
or
bendamustine hydrochloride in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma undergoing
peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving rituximab together
with
combination chemotherapy or bendamustine hydrochloride followed by consolidation chemotherapy
and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation works in treating older patients with

S9921, Hormone Therapy With or Without Mitoxantrone and Prednisone in Patients Who
Have Undergone Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer
RATIONALE: Hormones can stimulate the production of prostate cancer cells. Hormone
therapy
may fight prostate cancer by reducing the production of androgens. Drugs used in chemotherapy
use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
It is not
yet known whether hormone therapy plus mitoxantrone and prednisone is more effective
than
hormone therapy alone for prostate cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying hormone therapy, mitoxantrone,
and
prednisone to see how well they work compared to hormone therapy alone in treating
patients
who have undergone radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.

Safety and Efficacy Study of Oral Fosfomycin Versus Oral Levofloxacin to Treat Complicated
Urinary Syndromes (FOCUS)
This is a Phase 4, multi-center, open-label, randomized pragmatic superiority clinical
trial
comparing two strategies for initial or step-down oral therapy for complicated urinary
tract
infections (cUTI) after 0-48 hours of parenteral antibiotic therapy. The trial will
evaluate
the success and safety of a strategy of initial or step-down fosfomycin, administered
at a
dose of 3 g once daily, vs. a strategy of initial or step-down levofloxacin administered
at a
dose of 750 mg once daily. Investigator-directed adjustment to another adequate oral
therapy
is allowed 1) if the causative pathogen is not susceptible in vitro to quinolone initial
or
step-down therapy in a subject randomized to the levofloxacin strategy, OR 2) if the
subject
develops a significant related AE (either grade 3 or at the investigator's discretion)
to the
initial or step-down oral therapy. The duration of oral therapy (initial +
investigator-directed adjustment if indicated) in each strategy is 5-7 days of any
per
protocol antibiotic to which the pathogen is susceptible. The dosing of oral therapy
depends
on creatinine clearance (CrCl). The trial will enroll approximately 536 patients that
are
either male or female aged 18 or older with cUTI from outpatient and inpatient settings.
The
study will take place over 25 months in approximately 12 to 15 US sites. The primary
objective is to compare Strategy 1 and Strategy 2 in terms of treatment success rates
at Test
of Cure (TOC).

Standard of Care Therapy With or Without Stereotactic Radiosurgery and/or Surgery
in Treating Patients With Limited Metastatic Breast Cancer
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well standard of care therapy with
stereotactic radiosurgery and/or surgery works and compares it to standard of care
therapy
alone in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to one or two locations
in the
body (limited metastatic) that are previously untreated. Standard of care therapy
comprising
chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy, and others may help stop the spread
of
tumor cells. Radiation therapy and/or surgery is usually only given with standard
of care
therapy to relieve pain; however, in patients with limited metastatic breast cancer,
stereotactic radiosurgery, also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy, may
be able to
send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue and surgery
may be
able to effectively remove the metastatic tumor cells. It is not yet known whether
standard
of care therapy is more effective with stereotactic radiosurgery and/or surgery in
treating
limited metastatic breast cancer.

MPs will
be higher in number and comprise a larger portion of the MP population in aHUS and
that
platelet MPs will comprise a larger number and greater proportion of MPs in TTP. The
investigators believe that MP identity and number can be used to reliably differentiate

Treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children
RATIONALE: L-asparaginase is an important component of treatment for childhood acute
lymphoblastic leukemia, but is also associated with notable side-effects, including
hypersensitivity, pancreatitis, and thrombosis. We have previously reported that patients
with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in whom asparaginase treatment was discontinued
because of
intolerable side-effects had survival outcomes that were inferior to those who received
all
or nearly all of their intended doses. Two bacterial sources of asparaginase exist:
Escherichia coli (E coli) and Erwinia chrysanthemia (Erwinia). Generally, the E coli-derived
enzyme has been used as front-line therapy and the Erwinia-derived preparation has
been
reserved for patients who develop hypersensitivity reactions. Pegylated E coli asparaginase
(PEG-asparaginase) has a longer half-life and is potentially less immunogenic than
native E
coli L-asparaginase, and has been used as the initial asparaginase preparation in
some
pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment regimens.
PURPOSE: Although the pharmacokinetics of each of these asparaginase preparations:
intravenous PEG-asparaginase (IV-PEG) and intramuscular native E coli L-asparaginase
(IM-EC)
have been well characterized, their relative efficacy and toxicity have not been studied

Tretinoin and Arsenic Trioxide in Treating Patients With Untreated Acute Promyelocytic
Leukemia
This phase III trial studies tretinoin and arsenic trioxide in treating patients with
newly
diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia. Standard treatment for acute promyelocytic
leukemia
involves high doses of a common class of chemotherapy drugs called anthracyclines,
which are
known to cause long-term side effects, especially to the heart. Tretinoin may stop
the growth
of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Arsenic trioxide
may
stop the growth of cancer cells by either killing the cells, by stopping them from
dividing,
or by stopping them from spreading. Completely removing or reducing the amount of
anthracycline chemotherapy and giving tretinoin together with arsenic trioxide may
be an
effective treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia and may reduce some of the long-term
side effects.

Urinary tract cancer: Chemotherapy Before Surgery in Treating Patients With High Grade
Upper Urinary Tract Cancer
Lead Researcher: Elizabeth Guancial
This research study has two study groups.
Groups 1 and 2 will both receive chemotherapy followed by surgery. The type of chemotherapy
will depend on your kidney function, which will be determined by blood and urine tests.
Patients with normal or near normal kidney function (Group 1) will be given methotrexate,
vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin and pegfilgrastim (AMVAC) on the first day of
every cycle (which is 14 days) for 4 total cycles. 21 to 60 days after finishing the
chemotherapy, you will have surgery to remove your tumor.
Patients with decreased kidney function (Group 2) will be given gemcitabine and carboplatin
(GC) for four cycles, the cycles are 21 days. Gemcitabine will be given on day 1
and day 8 of each cycle. Carboplatin will be given on day 1 of each cycle. 21 to
60 days after finishing the chemotherapy, you will have surgery to remove your tumor.

Using An Investigational Drug to Treat Non-Diabetic Nerve Pain ("TopCSPN")
Lead Researcher: Peter Creigh
Many people experience nerve pain and tingling in their hands and feet that has a
known cause, such as diabetes. When there is no identifiable medical reason for the
nerve pain (‘neuropathy’) you are experiencing, it is called Cryptogenic Sensory Peripheral
Neuropathy, “CSPN,” for short. This study is a double blind, randomized placebo-controlled
trial of topiramate at a target dose of 100 mg daily for 96 weeks as a potential therapy
for the nerve pain of CSPN. Topiramate is the Investigational Drug in this study.
Topiramate is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for prevention of migraines
and seizures, but not for the treatment of nerve pain. Study participants will be
randomized 1:1 to topiramate or placebo (sugar pill). Neither participants nor the
Study Team will know which group participants are in. All participants will return
to the clinic for follow up visits once every 16 weeks for evaluation. Evaluations
will include assessments and questionnaires to determine if topiramate improves symptoms
of CSPN and makes your life better.

Veliparib, Pembrolizumab, and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patient With Locally
Advanced Rectal Cancer
This randomized phase II trial studies how well veliparib or pembrolizumab work with
combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with rectal cancer
that
has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced).
Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed
for cell
growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability
of tumor
cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as modified (m)FOLFOX6
regimen,
work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells,
by
stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy
uses
high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving veliparib or pembrolizumab
with combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells, make
the tumor
smaller, and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

patients
with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with BRAF V600 mutations
that have spread to other places in the body and have come back or do not respond
to
treatment. Vemurafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the
enzymes
needed for cell growth.

Vision-based Speed of Processing Cognitive Training and Mild Cognitive Impairment
This project seeks to identify neural changes that occur in adults with mild cognitive
impairment (MCI) after engagement in computerized cognitive training. In addition,
this
project aims to identify physiological factors that may bolster effects of the training
on
cognitive function. Individuals with MCI are at high risk for Alzheimer's disease
(AD).
Understanding how cognitive training protects cognitive function in MCI can contribute
to
development of effective interventions to slow progression to AD in individuals at
risk,
thereby reducing the significant morbidity and health care costs associated with AD.

Vitamin D Dynamics in Women
The goal of this pilot project is to utilize stable isotopically labeled vitamin D3
and state
of the art mass spectrometric methodology to assess vitamin D dynamics during pregnancy
in
relation to calcitropic hormone status at this key life stage. At the conclusion of
this
study, the investigators will have obtained novel information on the absorption and
utilization of vitamin D in women and determined if maternal vitamin D3 or maternal
25(OH)D3,
or both, can be transferred across the placenta to the fetus. The long-term goal is
to better
understand the unique metabolism of vitamin D during pregnancy.

Vitamin D Supplementation in Multiple Sclerosis
Low vitamin D levels have been shown to increase a person's risk of developing multiple
sclerosis (MS), and patients with MS who have lower vitamin D levels are at increased
risk of
having attacks. However, it is not known if giving supplemental vitamin D to those
with MS
reduces the risk of attacks, and some research suggests that vitamin D could even
be harmful
to people with MS.
In this clinical trial, patients with relapsing-remitting MS will receive high-dose
or
low-dose oral vitamin D in addition to an approved therapy for MS, glatiramer acetate.
Patients will be evaluated for two years, and the effect of high-dose vitamin D
supplementation on the rate of MS attacks and on the number of new lesions and change
in
brain volume on MRI will be determined. Establishing this association will have major
implications for the treatment of individuals with MS throughout the world.

Wearable Sensors for Quantitative Assessment of Motor Impairment in Huntington's Disease
Lead Researcher: Jamie Adams
The principal means of measuring motor impairment in Huntington disease (HD) is the
Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) total motor score, which is subjective,
categorical, requires significant training to administer correctly, and only captures
impairments in clinic. In this Direct to Phase II SBIR we will develop a wearable
sensor system for objective, sensitive, and continuous assessment of Huntington's
chorea during activities of daily living. The developed technology could be used clinically
to detect changes in motor function in response to medications, or could be used scientifically
to expedite and reduce the cost of early stage pharmaceutical clinical trials.

Whole-Brain Radiation Therapy or Stereotactic Radiosurgery With or Without Lapatinib
Ditosylate in Treating Patients With Brain Metastasis From HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
This randomized phase II trial studies how well whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic
radiosurgery with or without lapatinib ditosylate works in treating patients with
breast
cancer that has too many of a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor
2 (HER2)
on its cells and has spread to the brain. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays
to kill
tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation
therapy
that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may kill
more tumor
cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth
of
tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet
known
whether whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery together with lapatinib
ditosylate is an effective treatment for brain metastasis from breast cancer.

Whole-Brain Radiation Therapy With or Without Hippocampal Avoidance in Treating Patients
With Limited Stage or Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well whole-brain radiation therapy
works and
compares it with or without hippocampal avoidance in treating patients with small
cell lung
cancer that is found in one lung, the tissues between the lungs, and nearby lymph
nodes only
(limited stage) or has spread outside of the lung in which it began or to other parts
of the
body (extensive stage). Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells
and
shrink tumors. The hippocampus is part of the brain that is important for memory.
Avoiding
the hippocampus during whole-brain radiation could decrease the chance of side effects
on
memory and thinking. It is not yet known whether giving whole-brain radiation therapy
is more
effective with or without hippocampal avoidance in treating patients with small cell
lung
cancer.
