COG APEC1621F - NCI-COG PEDIATRIC MATCH (MOLECULAR ANALYSIS FOR THERAPY CHOICE)- PHASE 2 SUBPROTOCOL OF ENSARTINIB IN PATIENTS WITH TUMORS HARBORING ALK OR ROS1 GENOMIC ALTERATIONS
The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) study, referred to as Pediatric MATCH, will match targeted agents with specific molecular changes identified using genomic sequencing technologies in refractory/recurrent tumors from children and adolescents with cancer. The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH study (APEC1621) is considered one study under one IND consisting of a Master Version Control protocol, screening protocol component and multiple subprotocol components, with each component being contained in its own separate document. Each “component” consists of the protocol document and its associated informed consent document. The Master Version Control Protocol is the overarching administrative protocol that will keep an up-to-date record of the current version of the screening protocol component and each subprotocol component of Pediatric MATCH. Since each subprotocol component operates independently from the other subprotocol components contained in Pediatric MATCH, each has its own version date. Likewise, the screening protocol component has its own version date since changes in any of the subprotocols may not require changes in the screening protocol.

COG APEC1621D - NCI-COG PEDIATRIC MATCH (MOLECULAR ANALYSIS FOR THERAPY CHOICE)- PHASE 2 SUBPROTOCOL OF LY3023414 IN PATIENTS WITH SOLID TUMORS
The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) study, referred to as Pediatric MATCH, will match targeted agents with specific molecular changes identified using genomic sequencing technologies in refractory/recurrent tumors from children and adolescents with cancer. The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH study (APEC1621) is considered one study under one IND consisting of a Master Version Control protocol, screening protocol component and multiple subprotocol components, with each component being contained in its own separate document. Each “component” consists of the protocol document and its associated informed consent document. The Master Version Control Protocol is the overarching administrative protocol that will keep an up-to-date record of the current version of the screening protocol component and each subprotocol component of Pediatric MATCH. Since each subprotocol component operates independently from the other subprotocol components contained in Pediatric MATCH, each has its own version date. Likewise, the screening protocol component has its own version date since changes in any of the subprotocols may not require changes in the screening protocol.

An Adaptive Algorithm-Based Approach to Treatment for Adolescent Depression
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two adaptive treatment strategies (ATSs) for adolescent depression. The ATSs include delivery of an evidence-based psychotherapy for adolescent depression (interpersonal psychotherapy, IPT-A), systematic symptom monitoring, and an empirically-derived algorithm that specifies whether, when, and how to augment IPT-A. Two hundred depressed adolescents (age 12-18) will be recruited to participate in a 16-week SMART conducted in an outpatient community mental health clinic. Adolescents will be randomized to the IPT-A ATS condition (N=134) or the community clinic’s usual care (UC) (N=66). The aims of this R01 are to (1) evaluate the effectiveness of the ATSs embedded in this trial, (2) evaluate adolescents’ interpersonal functioning as a treatment target of IPT-A, (3) evaluate moderators of initial treatment and treatment augmentation strategies, and (4) conduct a process evaluation to identify barriers and facilitators that influenced ATS implementation.

A natural history study to TRACK brain and spinal changes in individuals with Friedreich Ataxia (TRACK-FA) ((TRACK-FA))
TRACK-FA is a multi-site, international, prospective, observational neuroimaging study in Friedreich’s Ataxia. The objective is to obtain natural history MRI and MRS data over time in the brain and spinal cord in a large cohort of FRDA patients and healthy control. This will permit validation of neuroimaging biomarkers in FRDA for future clinical trials. In addition to neuroimaging data, the study will collect data from clinical, cognitive and mood assessments as well as blood samples to measure blood markers (frataxin and neurofilament light chain). The present IRB protocol covers only subjects enrolled at the University of Minnesota.
MT2011-11C: High Dose Chemotherapy and Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) Rescue for Neuroblastoma
This therapy involves the use of consolidation chemotherapy, autologous stem cell rescue, post-transplant radiation therapy and a maintenance phase with Isotretinoin (Accutane, 13-cis-retinoic acid) therapy. If available, patients should also consider post-transplant therapy with cytokines and monoclonal antibody (ch14.18) on a COG or NANT trial. Ideally, patients should begin consolidation chemotherapy no later than 8 weeks after the start of Induction Cycle #6. (It is strongly recommended to begin consolidation within 4-6 weeks after starting Induction Cycle #6).

Stratifying Patient Immune Endotypes in Sepsis (SPIES Study)
This is a continuation of an ongoing study (also called SPIES Study) which has previously been approved by the UMN IRB. We are now transferring to a central IRB at UFL following funding from the NIH. Description below: Prolonged hospitalization, secondary infections, sepsis recidivism and hospital readmission are the most common long-term consequences in sepsis survivors, but we have only limited means to diagnose immunosuppressed endotype. Here we propose to validate an ELISpot assay as an optimal biomarker to early diagnose immunosuppression, and to ex vivo test potential immune stimulants for subsequent clinical development.

Early identification of right ventricular dysfunction and failure in cardiothoracic and liver surgical patients
This is prospective, non-interventional, observational study. The main purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm for the early detection of RV dysfunction/failure. The algorithm will be based on the RV pressure waveform gradients (the difference between early right ventricular diastolic pressure and end right ventricular diastolic pressure), RV end-diastolic pressure, and RV contractility (dpdt) and validated through associated clinical measures including perioperative mean arterial blood pressure, advanced hemodynamic measures like cardiac output, stroke volume and systemic vascular resistance, perioperative cerebral oximetry (a measure of cerebral perfusion), intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography and clinical outcomes. These associations will be used to train multiple mathematical models to discriminate between patients with and without RV dysfunction/failure as a primary endpoint. Examining the association between the slope of the diastolic right ventricular waveform (RV end-diastolic pressure, and RV contractility) and perioperative hemodynamics, TEE, cerebral saturation and clinical outcomes will allow us to estimate the specificity and sensitivity of our model.
A Phase 1/2 Multiple Expansion Cohort Trial of MRTX849 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors with KRAS G12C Mutation
This is an early study of a new drug, MRTX849, to treat certain solid tumors that have not responded to usual treatment. The tumor must have a KRAS G12C mutation. We are testing the drug to see if it is effective in treating the cancer and what side effects occur.
A Multicenter, Cross-sectional Study to Characterize the Distribution of Lipoprotein(a) Levels Among Patients With Documented History of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD)
This is a multicenter, cross-sectional study to summarize the Lp(a) distribution in subjects with documented history of MI and/or PCI as defined by their medical history. Subjects will be eligible for the study if their Lp(a) value is unknown or is known to be greater or equal to 90 mg/dL (if measured in mass), or greater than or equal to 200 nmol/L (if measured in molar). For the subset of subjects with known Lp(a), historical values will be used. In cases where Lp(a)data are not available, blood sampling will be performed to analyze Lp(a) through local laboratories. Medical history and laboratory values for Lp(a) will be collected retrospectively, where available. One study visit is required for data collection and a blood draw to determine Lp(a), if required.
HPS-4/TIMI 65/ORION-4: A Double-blind Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial Assessing the Effects of Inclisiran on Clinical Outcomes Among People With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ORION-4)
The HPS-4/TIMI 65/ORION-4 study aims to provide evidence about both the efficacy and safety of inclisiran. It is intended to be conducted at approximately 150 clinical sites in Europe (primarily in the UK) and North America. Approximately 15,000 participants aged 55 years or older with pre-existing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease will be randomized between inclisiran sodium 300 mg and matching placebo (given by subcutaneous injection on the day of randomization, at 3 months and then every 6-months) in a 1:1 ratio for a planned median duration of about 5 years. Consistent with relevant guideline recommendations for people with vascular disease, it is intended that participants be on intensive background LDL-lowering therapy (for example, atorvastatin 40 or 80 mg daily, simvastatin 40 or 80 mg daily, or rosuvastatin 20 or 40 mg daily) at screening. In order to achieve a target LDL cholesterol reduction of at least 1.2 mmol/l [45 mg/dL], it is intended to recruit a study population with a mean LDL cholesterol of at least 2.6 mmol/l [100mg/dL] at baseline.

Modifying Progesterone and Estradiol Levels to Prevent Postpartum Cigarette Smoking Relapse and Reduce Secondhand Smoke Exposure in Infants and Children
We will conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial at two sites to enhance the diversity of the study sample and generalizability of the results. We will enroll healthy pregnant women (n=320) who have recently quit smoking and intend to stay abstinent postpartum. Using a 2×2 factorial design, participants will be randomized into one of four assignments: (1) Prog + DMPA, (2) Prog + placebo, (3) placebo + DMPA, and (4) placebo + placebo. Participants will be followed for days to smoking relapse (primary outcome), smoking relapse-related risk factors (e.g., craving), and infant health outcomes from gestational week 36 through 9 months postpartum. This study proposes a safe and innovative intervention to examine the impact of manipulating postpartum physiological to influence the behavior of a new mother which will lead to improved health outcomes for her and her infant. The implications of this novel study will directly advance the current state of the science by expanding on the role of Prog and DMPA in addressing smoking-related behaviors within this highly vulnerable population. Further, should our central hypothesis be supported, the clinical translatability of this intervention is high and may be immediately pursued.
