*NRG-CC009 / CRLUN22012 / Milano
Lead Researcher: Michael Milano
This phase III trial compares the effect of stereotactic radiosurgery to standard
of care memantine and whole brain radiation therapy that avoids the hippocampus (the
memory zone of the brain) for the treatment of small cell lung cancer that has spread
to the brain. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers
a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to
normal tissue. Whole brain radiation therapy delivers a low dose of radiation to the
entire brain including the normal brain tissue. Hippocampal avoidance during whole-brain
radiation therapy (HA-WBRT) decreases the amount of radiation that is delivered to
the hippocampus which is a brain structure that is important for memory. The drug,
memantine, is also often given with whole brain radiotherapy because it may decrease
the risk of side effects related to thinking and memory. Stereotactic radiosurgery
may decrease side effects related to memory and thinking compared to standard of care
HA-WBRT plus memantine.

*NRG-GU011 PROMETHEAN / RGUP21115 / Zhang
Lead Researcher: Hong Zhang
This phase II trial tests whether relugolix and radiation therapy works to shrink
tumors in patients with prostate cancer that has spread in a limited way to 1 to 5
other parts of the body (oligometastatic). Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate
cancer cells. Relugolix lowers the amount of testosterone made by the body. This may
help stop the growth of tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Giving relugolix
with radiation therapy may help lower the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading.

*RTOG 1216 / RHAN13055 / Surgery and Postoperative Radiation / Yuhchyau Chen
Lead Researcher: Yuhchyau Chen
This phase II/III trial studies how well radiation therapy works when given together
with cisplatin, docetaxel, cetuximab, and/or atezolizumab after surgery in treating
patients with high-risk stage III-IV head and neck cancer the begins in the thin,
flat cells (squamous cell). 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work
in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or
by stopping them from dividing. Cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere
with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy with monoclonal
antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer,
and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The purpose
of this study is to compare the usual treatment (radiation therapy with cisplatin
chemotherapy) to using radiation therapy with docetaxel and cetuximab chemotherapy,
and using the usual treatment plus an immunotherapy drug, atezolizumab.

A022101 ERASur / CRGIC23031 / Alliance / QIU
Lead Researcher: Haoming Qiu
This phase III trial compares total ablative therapy and usual systemic therapy to
usual systemic therapy alone in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has
spread to up to 4 body sites (limited metastatic). The usual approach for patients
who are not participating in a study is treatment with intravenous (IV) (through a
vein) and/or oral medications (systemic therapy) to help stop the cancer sites from
getting larger and the spread of the cancer to additional body sites. Ablative means
that the intention of the local treatment is to eliminate the cancer at that metastatic
site. The ablative local therapy will consist of very focused, intensive radiotherapy
called stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) with or without surgical resection
and/or microwave ablation, which is a procedure where a needle is temporarily inserted
in the tumor and heat is used to destroy the cancer cells. SABR, surgical resection,
and microwave ablation have been tested for safety, but it is not scientifically proven
that the addition of these treatments are beneficial for your stage of cancer. The
addition of ablative local therapy to all known metastatic sites to the usual approach
of systemic therapy could shrink or remove the tumor(s) or prevent the tumor(s) from
returning.

This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab work in
treating patients with CD22-positive B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia that is
newly diagnosed, has come back, or does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with
monoclonal antibodies, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab, may help the
body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor
cells to grow and spread.

A081801 / RLUN20119 / ALCHEMIST-IO (ACCIO) / Yuhchyau Chen
Lead Researcher: Yuhchyau Chen
This phase III ALCHEMIST trial tests the addition of pembrolizumab to usual chemotherapy
for the treatment of stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that
has been removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab,
may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability
of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, pemetrexed,
carboplatin, 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. Giving pembrolizumab with usual chemotherapy
may help increase survival times in patients with stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small
cell lung cancer.

Adapting CBT-I for Hazardous Alcohol Users
Lead Researcher: Wilfred Pigeon
The goal of this intervention development trial is to develop, refine, and test a
telephone-delivered, 4-session version of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia
adapted
to hazardous alcohol users with co-occurring insomnia. The project will begin with
a small,
open label pilot to refine the intervention and proceed to a small, randomized trial
comparing the intervention to a sleep and alcohol education control condition.
The two main questions it aims to answer are whether the intervention is feasible
to deliver
and whether its effects on alcohol use and insomnia severity are large enough to warrant
further work.

An EEG Study of Auditory Perception in People with and without Schizophrenia
Lead Researcher: Judy Thompson
The purpose of our study is to better understand how the brain processes sounds, including
speech. We are investigating this in people with and without psychiatric conditions.
One of our primary aims is to determine how these processes may relate to specific
experiences and symptoms in conditions such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder,
and schizophreniform disorder, with the goal of using this knowledge to develop more
effective treatments. In order to study how the brain processes sounds, we use a technique
called electroencephalography, or EEG. For EEG, a person wears a comfortable elastic
cap with sensors attached to it that are able to record brain activity. In these sessions,
subjects listen to short audio clips while EEG is recording; this allows us to measure
brain responses to sounds. This study also includes interviews about current and past
psychiatric symptoms and treatment, as well as a few short tasks, questionnaires,
and a hearing test. The study typically involves 4-5 visits, with each about 2-3 hours
long. Subjects are paid $30 an hour, as well as a $30 bonus if they complete all study
activities. Transportation costs are also covered, and free snacks are provided. People
between the ages of 18-55 with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder,
schizophreniform disorder, or no psychiatric diagnosis may be eligible to participate.

Atorvastatin Study in HNSCC/UHAN21082/Newlands
Lead Researcher: Shawn Newlands
Background:
Cisplatin is used to treat head and neck cancer. People who take this drug are at
risk for hearing loss. Atorvastatin is a drug used to treat high cholesterol. It might
reduce the risk of cisplatin-induced hearing loss.
Objective:
To find out if atorvastatin reduces hearing loss in people treated with cisplatin
and radiation.
Eligibility:
People ages 18 and older with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who will
undergo treatment with cisplatin-based chemotherapy and radiation
Design:
Participants will be screened with their medical records.
Participants currently taking a cholesterol-lowering statin medication are invited
to participate in the observational arm of the study. Those not taking such a medication
are invited to participate in the interventional arm of the study.
All participants will have 3 study visits for the purpose of evaluating hearing. One
before starting cisplatin treatment, one within 3 months of completing cancer treatment,
and one within 2 years of completing cancer treatment. They will have tympanograms.
A small flexible tip will be placed in the ear canal. A puff of air will be delivered
to assess mobility of the ear drum. They will have hearing tests. They will wear headphones.
They will listen to tones that vary in loudness. They will be asked to indicate when
they hear a sound. They will complete 3 questionnaires at the time of each hearing
test.
Participants will have 2 visits for blood tests. These will occur upon consent and
12 weeks after. They will be randomly assigned to take the study drug or placebo orally,
once daily. They will take it during cisplatin treatment and for 3 months after treatment.
Long-term follow up will include a chart review 2 years after participants complete
their cisplatin therapy.

CBRS21001 / A011801 / Dhakal
Lead Researcher: Ajay Dhakal
This phase III trial studies how well trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and tucatinib
work in preventing breast cancer from coming back (relapsing) in patients with high
risk, HER2 positive breast cancer. T-DM1 is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab,
linked to a chemotherapy drug, called DM1. Trastuzumab is a form of targeted therapy
because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells,
known as HER2 receptors, and delivers DM1 to kill them. Tucatinib may stop the growth
of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving T-DM1
and tucatinib may work better in preventing breast cancer from relapsing in patients
with HER2 positive breast cancer compared to T-DM1 alone.

This phase II trial studies how well genetic testing works in guiding treatment for
patients with solid tumors that have spread to the brain. Several genes have been
found to be altered or mutated in brain metastases such as NTRK, ROS1, CDK, PI3K,
or KRAS G12C. Medications that target these genes such as abemaciclib, paxalisib,
entrectinib and adagrasib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the
enzymes needed for cell growth. Genetic testing may help doctors tailor treatment
for each mutation.

Lead Researcher: Daniel Mulkerin
This phase III trial compares perioperative chemotherapy (given before and after surgery)
versus adjuvant chemotherapy (given after surgery) for the treatment of pancreatic
cancer that can be removed by surgery (removable/resectable). Chemotherapy drugs,
such as fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, 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 chemotherapy before and after
surgery (perioperatively) may work better in treating patients with pancreatic cancer
compared to giving chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvantly).

CGYM19142 / NRG-GY019 / Richard Moore
Lead Researcher: Richard Moore
This phase III trial studies how well letrozole with or without paclitaxel and carboplatin
works in treating patients with stage II-IV low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary,
fallopian tube, or peritoneum. Letrozole is an enzyme inhibitor that lowers the amount
of estrogen made by the body which in turn may stop the growth of tumor cells that
need estrogen to grow. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin,
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 letrozole alone or in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin
works better in treating patients with low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian
tube, or peritoneum compared to paclitaxel and carboplatin without letrozole.

This clinical trial evaluates how well two surgical procedures (bilateral salpingectomy
and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) work in reducing the risk of ovarian cancer for
individuals with BRCA1 mutations. Bilateral salpingectomy involves the surgical removal
of fallopian tubes, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy involves the surgical removal
of both the fallopian tubes and ovaries. This study may help doctors determine if
the two surgical procedures are nearly the same for ovarian cancer risk reduction
for women with BRCA1 mutations.

Lead Researcher: Arpan Patel
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of the combination of high-dose cisplatin
every three weeks and radiation therapy versus low-dose cisplatin weekly and radiation
therapy for the treatment of patients with locoregionally advanced head and neck cancer.
Chemotherapy drugs, such as 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells
and shrink tumors. This study is being done to find out if low-dose cisplatin given
weekly together with radiation therapy is the same or better than high-dose cisplatin
given every 3 weeks together with radiation therapy in treating patients with head
and neck cancer.

acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not response to
treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as OBI-3424, 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. OBI-3424 may reduce the amount
of leukemia in the body.

is a Bi-specific T-Cell Engager ('BiTE') that may interfere with the ability of cancer
cells to grow and spread. The information gained from this study may help researchers
determine if combination therapy with steroids, TKIs, and blinatumomab work better
than the standard of care.

This screening and multi-sub-study randomized phase II/III trial will establish a
method for genomic screening of similar large cancer populations followed by assigning
and accruing simultaneously to a multi-sub-study hybrid Master Protocol (Lung-MAP).
The type of cancer trait (biomarker) will determine to which sub-study, within this
protocol, a participant will be assigned to compare new targeted cancer therapy, designed
to block the growth and spread of cancer, or combinations to standard of care therapy
with the ultimate goal of being able to approve new targeted therapies in this setting.
In addition, the protocol includes non-match sub-studies which will include all screened

CLYM20151 / S1925 / Barr
Lead Researcher: Paul Barr
This phase III trial compares early treatment with venetoclax and obinutuzumab versus
delayed treatment with venetoclax and obinutuzumab in patients with newly diagnosed
high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Venetoclax is
in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop
the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival.
Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as obinutuzumab, may help the body's
immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells
to grow and spread. Starting treatment with the venetoclax and obinutuzumab early
(before patients have symptoms) may have better outcomes for patients with chronic
lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma compared to starting treatment
with the venetoclax and obinutuzumab after patients show symptoms.

This phase II trial studies the effects of venetoclax and rituximab in comparison
to ibrutinib and rituximab in treating patients with previously untreated Waldenstrom's
macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer
cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal
antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of
white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system
kill cancer cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2
(BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein
needed for cancer cell survival. Giving venetoclax and rituximab may work better in

Lead Researcher: Richard Moore
This phase II/III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin
Hylecta \[TM\]) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (Phesgo \[TM\])
to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients
with HER2 positive endometrial cancer. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies
and forms of targeted therapy that attach to specific molecules (receptors) on the
surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach
to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor
cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Hyaluronidase is an
endoglycosidase. It helps to keep pertuzumab and trastuzumab in the body longer, so
that these medications will have a greater effect. Hyaluronidase also allows trastuzumab
and trastuzumab/pertuzumab to be given by injection under the skin and shortens their
administration time compared to trastuzumab or pertuzumab alone. Paclitaxel is a taxane
and in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops tumor cells
from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications
known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer
drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing,
stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo
in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may shrink the tumor and prevent the
cancer from coming back in patients with HER2 positive endometrial cancer.

This phase II trial tests whether the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab is better
than nivolumab alone to shrink tumors in patients with deficient mismatch repair system
(dMMR) endometrial carcinoma that has come back after a period of time during which
the cancer could not be detected (recurrent). Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch
repair (MMR) is a system for recognizing and repairing damaged DNA. In 2-3% of endometrial
cancers this may be due to a hereditary condition resulted from gene mutation called
Lynch Syndrome (previously called hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer or HNPCC).
MMR deficient cells usually have many DNA mutations. Tumors that have evidence of
mismatch repair deficiency tend to be more sensitive to immunotherapy. There is some
evidence that nivolumab with ipilimumab can shrink or stabilize cancers with deficient
mismatch repair system. However, it is not known whether this will happen in endometrial
cancer; therefore, this study is designed to answer that question. Monoclonal antibodies,
such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer,
and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving nivolumab
in combination with ipilimumab may be better than nivolumab alone in treating dMMR
recurrent endometrial carcinoma.

come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or grade
IIIb follicular lymphoma. Mosunetuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere
with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Polatuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal
antibody, called polatuzumab, linked to a drug called vedotin. Polatuzumab is a form
of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface
of cancer cells, and delivers vedotin to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine
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.
CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of
immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells.
T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that
binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in
the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor. Large
numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by
infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving mosunetuzumab and/or polatuzumab
vedotin after chemotherapy and CAR T-cell therapy may be more effective at controlling
or shrinking the cancer than not giving them.

CMLYM23030 // AHOD2131 // Casulo
Lead Researcher: Carla Casulo
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding immunotherapy (brentuximab vedotin
and nivolumab) to standard treatment (chemotherapy with or without radiation) to the
standard treatment alone in improving survival in patients with stage I and II classical
Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is in a class of medications called antibody-drug
conjugates. It is made of a monoclonal antibody called brentuximab that is linked
to a cytotoxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive lymphoma
cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. A monoclonal antibody is
a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules
that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). 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. Chemotherapy
drugs such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, dacarbazine,
and procarbazine hydrochloride 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. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating
agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer
cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Etoposide is in a class of medications
known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division
and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Vincristine is in a class of medications
called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing
and may kill them. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids.
It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen
the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays
to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding immunotherapy to the standard treatment
of chemotherapy with or without radiation may increase survival and/or fewer short-term
or long-term side effects in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma compared to
the standard treatment alone.

CMLYM23075 // A052101 // Wallace
Lead Researcher: Danielle Wallace
This phase III trial tests whether continuous or intermittent zanubrutinib after achieving
a complete remission (CR) with rituximab works in older adult patients with mantle
cell lymphoma (MCL) who have not received treatment in the past (previously untreated).
Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells
to grow and spread. Zanubrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some
of the enzymes needed for cell growth. When zanubrutinib is used in MCL, the current
standard of care is to continue administering the drug indefinitely until disease
progression. This continuous treatment comes with clinical as well as financial toxicity,
which could be especially detrimental in older patients. For patients who achieve
a CR after initial zanubrutinib plus rituximab therapy, it may be safe and equally
effective to stop treatment and restart zanubrutinib upon disease progression rather
than continuing indefinitely in previously untreated older adult patients with MCL.

invasive cutaneous melanomas (AJCC 8th edition) to determine differences in disease-free
survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve patient quality of life.

Lead Researcher: Brea Lipe
This phase III trial compares three-drug induction regimens followed by double-or
single-drug maintenance therapy for the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
in patients who are not receiving a stem cell transplant and are considered frail
or intermediate-fit based on age, comorbidities, and functional status. Treatment
for multiple myeloma includes initial treatment (induction) which is the first treatment
a patient receives for cancer followed by ongoing treatment (maintenance) which is
given after initial treatment to help keep the cancer from coming back. There are
three combinations of four different drugs being studied. Bortezomib is one of the
drugs that may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed
for cell growth. Lenalidomide works by helping bone marrow to produce normal blood
cells and killing cancer cells. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone, lower
the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some
types of cancer. Daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj is a monoclonal antibody that
may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Patients receive
1 of 3 combinations of these drugs for treatment to determine which combination of
study drugs works better to shrink and control multiple myeloma.

Lead Researcher: Jeffrey Andolina
This phase III trial compares hematopoietic (stem) cell transplantation (HCT) using
mismatched related donors (haploidentical \[haplo\]) versus matched unrelated donors
(MUD) in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with acute leukemia or myelodysplastic
syndrome (MDS). HCT is considered standard of care treatment for patients with high-risk
acute leukemia and MDS. In HCT, patients are given very high doses of chemotherapy
and/or radiation therapy, which is intended to kill cancer cells that may be resistant
to more standard doses of chemotherapy; unfortunately, this also destroys the normal
cells in the bone marrow, including stem cells. After the treatment, patients must
have a healthy supply of stem cells reintroduced or transplanted. The transplanted
cells then reestablish the blood cell production process in the bone marrow. The healthy
stem cells may come from the blood or bone marrow of a related or unrelated donor.
If patients do not have a matched related donor, doctors do not know what the next
best donor choice is. This trial may help researchers understand whether a haplo related
donor or a MUD HCT for children with acute leukemia or MDS is better or if there is
no difference at all.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues in the body.
This phase III trial aims to maintain excellent outcomes in patients with very low
risk rhabdomyosarcoma (VLR-RMS) while decreasing the burden of therapy using treatment
with 24 weeks of vincristine and dactinomycin (VA) and examines the use of centralized
molecular risk stratification in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma. Another aim of
the study it to find out how well patients with low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (LR-RMS)
respond to standard chemotherapy when patients with VLR-RMS and patients who have
rhabdomyosarcoma with DNA mutations get separate treatment. Finally, this study examines
the effect of therapy intensification in patients who have RMS cancer with DNA mutations
to see if their outcomes can be improved.

GEMS/Mustian/URCC19178
Lead Researcher: Karen Mustian
This phase III cluster randomized trial compares the effect of geriatric evaluation
and management with survivorship health education (GEMS) to usual care on patient-reported
physical function in older survivors of cancer. Survivorship care for older adults
of cancer usually consists of getting advice from their doctor. This advice may include
how to do their daily activities, so they are less tired or how to manage multiple
diseases, or long-term side effects from treatment. GEMS may help improve the physical
ability to perform activities of daily living, mental well-being, and memory in older
survivors of cancer after chemotherapy. This study may help doctors learn if including
GEMS in their practices improves physical, mental and memory functions in their patients.
The study may also help to understand how such care affects cancer patients and their
caregivers' quality of life.

safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of ABBV-101 in adult participants
in relapsed or refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin's lymphomas: third line or later of treatment
(3L) + chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), diffuse
large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), non-germinal center B cell (GCB) DLBCL, mantle cell
lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), Waldenström
macroglobulinemia (WM), or transformed indolent NHL. Adverse events will be assessed.
ABBV-101 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of NHL. This
study will include a dose escalation phase to determine the maximum administered dose
(MAD)/Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ABBV-101 and a dose expansion phase to determine
the change in disease activity in participants with CLL or non-GCB DLBCL. Approximately
128 adult participants with multiple NHL subtypes will be enrolled in the study in
sites world wide.
In the Dose Escalation phase of the study participants will receive escalating oral
doses of ABBV-101, until the MAD/MTD is determined, as part of the approximately 60
month study duration. In the dose expansion phase of the study participants receive
oral ABBV-101, as part of the approximately 60 month study duration .
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their
standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved
institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked
by medical assessments, blood tests, and side effects.

This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN3767, also known as fianlimab
(R3767), when combined with another medication called cemiplimab (each individually
called a "study drug" or called "study drugs" when combined) compared with an approved
medication called pembrolizumab.
The objective of this study is to see if the combination of fianlimab and cemiplimab
is an effective treatment compared to pembrolizumab in patients that have had melanoma
removal surgery but are still at high risk for the recurrence of the disease. Pembrolizumab
is an approved treatment in some countries in this clinical setting.
The study is looking at several other research questions, including:
* What side effects may happen from receiving the study drugs.
* How much study drug is in the blood at different times.
* Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug
less effective or could lead to side effects). Antibodies are proteins that are naturally
found in the blood stream that fight infections.
* How administering the study drugs might improve quality of life.

metastases). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of radiation therapy that delivers
a high dose of radiation only to the small areas of cancer in the brain and avoids
the surrounding normal brain tissue. Surgery and radiation may stop the tumor from
growing for a few months or longer and may reduce symptoms of brain metastases.

NRG-GU008 / RGUP20037 / INNOVATE / Hong Zhang
Lead Researcher: Hong Zhang
This phase III trial studies whether adding apalutamide to the usual treatment improves
outcome in patients with lymph node positive prostate cancer after surgery. Radiation
therapy uses high energy x-ray to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Androgens, or
male sex hormones, can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as apalutamide,
may help stop or reduce the growth of prostate cancer cell growth by blocking the
attachment of androgen to its receptors on cancer cells, a mechanism similar to stopping
the entrance of a key into its lock. Adding apalutamide to the usual hormone therapy
and radiation therapy after surgery may stabilize prostate cancer and prevent it from
spreading and extend time without disease spreading compared to the usual approach.

NRG-GU009 / RGUP21002 / PREDICT-RT / Kevin Bylund
Lead Researcher: Kevin Bylund
This phase III trial compares less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to
usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate
cancer and low gene risk score. This trial also compares more intense hormone therapy
and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in patients with
high risk prostate cancer and high gene risk score. Apalutamide may help fight prostate
cancer by blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses
high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving a shorter hormone therapy
treatment may work the same at controlling prostate cancer compared to the usual 24
month hormone therapy treatment in patients with low gene risk score. Adding apalutamide
to the usual treatment may increase the length of time without prostate cancer spreading
as compared to the usual treatment in patients with high gene risk score.

NRG-GU010 / RGUP21107 / GUIDANCE / Michael Cummings
Lead Researcher: Michael Cummings
This phase III trial uses the Decipher risk score to guide intensification (for higher
Decipher gene risk) or de-intensification (for low Decipher gene risk) of treatment
to better match therapies to an individual patient's cancer aggressiveness. The Decipher
risk score evaluates a prostate cancer tumor for its potential for spreading. In patients
with low risk scores, this trial compares radiation therapy alone to the usual treatment
of radiation therapy and hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy). Radiation
therapy uses high energy x-rays or particles to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors.
Androgen deprivation therapy blocks the production or interferes with the action of
male sex hormones such as testosterone, which plays a role in prostate cancer development.
Giving radiation treatment alone may be the same as the usual approach in controlling
the cancer and preventing it from spreading, while avoiding the side effects associated
with hormonal therapy. In patients with higher Decipher gene risk, this trial compares
the addition of darolutamide to usual treatment radiation therapy and hormone therapy,
to usual treatment. Darolutamide blocks the actions of the androgens (e.g. testosterone)
in the tumor cells and in the body. The addition of darolutamide to the usual treatment
may better control the cancer and prevent it from spreading.

NRG-LU008 / CRLUN23043 / NRG / SINGH
Lead Researcher: Deepinder Singh
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding stereotactic body radiation therapy
(SBRT) to standard treatment (image guided radiation therapy \[IGRT\] and chemotherapy
followed by immunotherapy with durvalumab) versus standard treatment alone in treating
patients with non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated by surgery (inoperable).
SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors
with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter
period and cause less damage to normal tissue. IGRT is a type of radiation that uses
a computer to create picture of the tumor, to help guide the radiation beam during
therapy, making it more accurate and causing less damage to healthy tissue. Standard
chemotherapy used in this trial consists of combinations of the following drugs: cisplatin,
carboplatin, paclitaxel, pemetrexed, and etoposide. Cisplatin is in a class of medications
known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the
growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing
compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be
better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing
the growth of tumor cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule
agents. It works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in
a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by blocking
the action of a certain substance in the body that may help tumor cells multiply.
Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks
a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill tumor cells.
Immunotherapy with durvalumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may
interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding SBRT to the standard
treatment of IGRT with chemotherapy and immunotherapy may be more effective at treating
patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer than giving the standard treatment
alone.

Parent Cafe Study for Caregivers of Children with Medical Complexity
Lead Researcher: Nathaniel Bayer
We started monthly peer and emotional support group sessions for caregivers of children
with medical complexity. We are looking for interested parents and caregivers to participate
in our research, attend support sessions, and provide feedback to improve them. A
child with medical complexity means that a child has/had 2 or more long-term diagnoses
and uses/used medical devices (like a feeding tube or tracheostomy).
Depending on the status and age of your child, you could either help us design the
support groups, lead the support groups, or participate in the support groups as an
attendee. Families with different diagnoses, outcomes, racial and ethnic backgrounds,
genders, sexual orientations, religions, geographic regions and physical abilities
all provide important insight and perspective. We are recruiting caregivers of children
who have fully recovered, have recovered with ongoing needs, are undergoing treatment,
or have passed away. Your lived experience and perspective matters.

This phase III trial studies if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment
with carboplatin/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma
(LGG), and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects
with LGG of the optic pathway (vision nerves). Selumetinib is a drug that works by
blocking some enzymes that low-grade glioma tumor cells need for their growth. This
results in killing tumor cells. Drugs used as chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and
vincristine, 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 selumetinib works better in treating patients with NF1-associated
low-grade glioma compared to standard therapy with carboplatin and vincristine.

PLEU19175 / AALL1732 / Kazi
Lead Researcher: Rafi Kazi
This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction
chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)
improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype
acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL
therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody,
called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab
attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them.
Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine,
dexamethasone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, methotrexate, leucovorin, mercaptopurine,
prednisone, thioguanine, vincristine, and pegaspargase or calaspargase pegol 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. This trial will
also study the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and
disseminated B lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with high-risk ALL chemotherapy.
The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to
standard of care chemotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute
Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first
two phases of therapy: Induction and Consolidation. This part will collect information
on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, to classify patients
into post-consolidation treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients
with HR B-ALL will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance
I, delayed intensification, interim maintenance II, maintenance), with some patients
randomized to receive inotuzumab. The patients that receive inotuzumab will not receive
part of delayed intensification. Other aims of this study include investigating whether
treating both males and females with the same duration of chemotherapy maintains outcomes
for males who have previously been treated for an additional year compared to girls,
as well as to evaluate the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy
regimens. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects
with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia
(MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

SWAT BE
Lead Researcher: Vivek Kaul
The purpose of this research study is to learn about the best approach to sample patients
with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus (BE) by comparing the standard Seattle
biopsy protocol to sampling using wide area transepithelial sampling (WATS3D).
Barrett's esophagus is a common condition that is used to spot patients at increased
risk of developing a type of cancer in the esophagus (swallowing tube) called esophageal
adenocarcinoma. The 5-year survival rate is as low as 18% for patients who get esophageal
adenocarcinoma, but the rate may be improved if the cancer is caught in its early
stages. Barrett's esophagus can lead to dysplasia, or precancerous changes, which
occurs when cells look abnormal but have not developed into cancer. If the abnormal
cells increase from being slightly abnormal (low-grade dysplasia), to being very abnormal
(high-grade dysplasia), the risk of developing cancer (esophageal adenocarcinoma)
goes up. Therefore, catching dysplasia early is very important to prevent cancer.
Endoscopic surveillance is a type of procedure where endoscopists run a tube with
a light and a camera on the end of it down a patients throat and remove a small piece
of tissue. The piece of tissue, called a biopsy, is about the size of the tip of a
ball-point pen and is checked for abnormal cells and cancer cells.
Patients are being asked to be in this research study because they have been diagnosed
with BE or suspected to have BE, and will need an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).
Patients with BE undergo sampling using the Seattle biopsy protocol during which samples
are obtained from the BE in a four quadrant fashion every 2 cm along with target biopsies
from any abnormal areas within the BE. Another sampling approach is WATS3D which utilizes
brushings from the BE.
While both of these procedures are widely accepted approaches to sampling patients
with BE during endoscopy, there is not enough research to show if one is better than
the other.
Participants in this study will undergo sampling of the BE using both approaches (Seattle
biopsy protocol and WATS-3D); the order of the techniques will be randomized.
Up to 2700 participants will take part in this research. This is a multicenter study
involving several academic, community and private hospitals around the country.

UBRT21040 / Early START / Nimish Mohile (formerly Sara Hardy)
Lead Researcher: Nimish Mohile
High grade gliomas (HGGs) are rapidly progressive brain tumors resulting in death
for most patients between 6 months and 2 years after diagnosis. It is important for
patients with HGG to discuss and document their wishes at the end of life. However,
many of these patients experience early changes in cognition which impede their decision-making.
For this reason, these patients should have early discussions with their providers.
However, implementation of this remains challenging in clinical practice.
In this study, we will create an Early STructured Advanced care Referrals by Telehealth
(Early START) visit for patients soon after their initial oncology visit. A checklist
and pre-visit guide were developed to help guide the visit for both the provider and
patient. Providers will receive special training in running these visits. Caregivers
and/or family members will be encouraged to participate. Visits will be done using
video or telephone and recorded. For patients who do not have access to technology
for these visits, it will be provided. After the visit, patients, caregivers and/or
family who participated, and providers will fill out surveys to address feasibility
of having these extra visits and improve the visits for future. Patients will be followed
until death. Caregivers and/or family who participated will be asked about whether
end of life was in line with the patient's wishes. We will also use the patient's
medical record to assess other aspects of end of life. We will compare end of life
outcomes with other similar patients treated at our center.

overall quality of life in older patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Older patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy are at an increased risk of
adverse outcomes including treatment toxicity and functional and physical consequences.
This makes it very challenging for the physicians to balance the benefits against
the risk of chemotherapy in older cancer patients. A geriatric assessment may be useful
in identifying risk factors for chemotherapy radiation toxicity. Communicating these
geriatric assessment findings and assessment-based recommendations to a patient's
treating physicians may help them make more informed decisions about treatment options
for patients. Making treatment decisions using GA-based recommendations may reduce
adverse events and improve outcomes in patients receiving treatment for NSCLC.

URO105883/ADVANCED-1-Ph1b/2/Tabayoyong/RSRB8538
Lead Researcher: William Tabayoyong
This study is open-label dose expansion study to investigate the safety and toxicity
of intravesical treatment of high-grade NMIBC (HGTa or CIS, including CIS with concomitant
Ta) after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and/or biopsy using TARA-002
in adults unable to obtain intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), adults who
have received at least one dose of intravesical BCG or adults who have received at
least one dose of intravesical chemotherapy.
After completion of the dose escalation phase (Phase 1a) and after the RP2D has been
established, the dose expansion phase (Phase 1b) will start enrollment of subjects
with CIS NMIBC with active disease to further evaluate the safety and preliminary
efficacy of TARA-002, at the established RP2D. CIS NMIBC with active disease is defined
as disease present at the last cystoscopic evaluation prior to signing the ICF. Subjects
enrolled in the dose expansion phase will not include subjects previously enrolled
and treated in the dose escalation phase.
All subjects will receive 6 weeks of treatment at the established RP2D.

Vaping/ Peter A. Wyman
Lead Researcher: Peter Wyman
Rates of adolescent vaping are increasing rapidly. Current high school student use
of electronic vaping products (EVPs) rose from 1.5% in 2011 to 20.8% in 2018 - an
increase from 220,000 to 3.05 million adolescent users. Effective, school-based interventions
are urgently needed to protect adolescents from initiating or continuing use of electronic
vaping products (EVPs). This study leverages a state-supported prevention initiative
to test the effectiveness of a promising intervention that trains 8th-9th grade student
peer leaders to deliver school-wide vaping prevention campaigns with ongoing adult
mentoring. If study hypotheses are supported, the study will provide the first evidence
of a school-based preventive intervention that reduces adolescent vaping behaviors,
as well as insight into how peer communications can be harnessed to prevent vaping.
