MT2023-05: GTB-3650 (anti-CD16/IL-15/anti-CD33) Tri-Specific Killer Engager (TriKE®) for the Treatment of High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) and Refractory/Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
The primary purpose of this study is to identify a safe dose of GTB-3650. The study also provides preliminary disease response information for larger future studies. GTB-3650 is designed to target CD33 on leukemia/MDS cells. Cancer cells must overexpress CD33 (also referred to as CD33+), a marker found in some blood/bone marrow cancers. Based on similar studies and lab studies, it is felt there is a chance of benefit from the study treatment but the duration of benefit is unknown.

A Phase 3 Randomized Controlled Trial of Post-Surgical Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) versus Surgically Targeted Radiation Therapy (STaRT) with Gamma Tile for Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Brain Tumors.
The purpose of this research study is to compare surgical tumor removal followed by stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) to surgical tumor removal followed by radiation therapy delivered by surgically implanted GammaTilesTM (GT). A GammaTile (GT) is an FDA cleared device used to provide radiation therapy following the removal of a brain tumor. GT are small (2cm x 2cm x 0.4cm) collagen squares/tiles that contain sources of radiation that look like grains of rice. If assigned to the GT study group, the doctor will place tiles containing the radiation sources in the cavity left after surgically removing the brain tumor. They do not need to be removed as the collagen tiles will be absorbed and the radiation sources can be left in place. If assigned to the SRT study group, SRT will take place 3-4 weeks after surgery and uses external beams to deliver radiation to the cavity left after surgically removing the brain tumor.

Observational Study of Pediatric Rheumatic Diseases: The CARRA Registry
The primary objective for this observational study is to collect general and medical data from children, adolescents, and young adults who had pediatric onset rheumatic disease. This data will be used to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of therapeutic agents used to treat these diseases. This information will allow investigators to accurately report and follow changes in current medication use patterns and compare these to proposed standards and current treatment recommendations. The use of a single registry will allow for more analysis of the different therapeutic agents by allowing them to be compared to each other.

COG AGCT1531 - A Phase 3 Study of Active Surveillance for Low Risk and a Randomized Trial of Carboplatin vs. Cisplatin for Standard Risk Pediatric and Adult Patients with Germ Cell Tumors
This partially randomized phase III trial studies how well active surveillance, bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, or cisplatin work in treating pediatric and adult patients with germ cell tumors. Active surveillance may help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors after their tumor is removed. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, 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.

A Pivotal Study Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of the ShiraTronics Migraine Therapy System in RELIEVing, Interrupting, and Preventing Chronic Migraine (RELIEV-CM2)
This research study is testing a potential new treatment for refractory chronic migraine (RCM). The potential new treatment is called ShiraTronics Migraine Therapy. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the ShiraTronics Migraine Therapy System. The ShiraTronics System delivers mild electrical pulses to nerves associated with migraine pain around the back and front of your head. These electrical pulses interrupt or change the transmission of pain signals to the brain, which can potentially relieve your chronic migraine pain and symptoms. The ShiraTronics System is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for investigational (under research) use, and not approved for sale.

PEPN2312; A Phase 1 study of GRN163L (Imetelstat, IND# 170891, NSC# 754228) in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine for patients with acute myeloid leukemia that is in second or greater relapse or that is refractory to relapse therapy; myelodysplastic syndrome or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia in first or greater relapse or is refractory to relapse therapy
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Imetelstat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cytarabine, 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 imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine may work better in treating patients with refractory or recurrent AML, MDS, and JMML.

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Rezafungin for Injection Versus the Standard Antimicrobial Regimen to Prevent Invasive Fungal Diseases in Adults Undergoing Allogeneic Blood and Marrow Transplantation (The ReSPECT Study) (ReSPECT)
One type of infection that is possible after bone marrow transplant is called an invasive fungal disease (IFD), a type of fungal infection that has the ability to spread throughout the body. In this study, rezafungin will be compared with the currently approved drugs for the prevention of IFD. The currently approved drugs are referred to as the standard antimicrobial regimen (SAR) which is posaconazole or fluconazole. We want to learn if rezafungin is safe and tolerable, if it is effective in preventing IFD compared to the standard treatment and to find out how much rezafungin is in blood over time after study drug has been given.

A PHASE III TRIAL OF ONE VS. TWO YEARS OF MAINTENANCE OLAPARIB, WITH OR WITHOUT BEVACIZUMAB, IN PATIENTS WITH BRCA1/2 MUTATED OR HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION DEFICIENT (HRD+) OVARIAN CANCER FOLLOWING RESPONSE TO FIRST LINE PLATINUM-BASED CHEMOTHERAPY
The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is treatment of ovarian cancer with surgery, radiation, or U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs. Sometimes, combinations of these treatments are used. We are doing this study because we want to find out if the use of Olaparib for one year is as good or worse than the usual approach for ovarian tumor.

• must have had cytoreductive surgery
• must have completed first line platinum-based therapy before starting the study (no more than 12 weeks prior)
