Self-Weighing for Weight Management in Adolescents Seeking Obesity Treatment: A Randomized Pilot
This study will test whether adding in daily weighing (5-7 days per week) is helpful in weight loss. In adults, it has been found to be helpful to have individuals who are obese to be more successful with their weight loss efforts if they weigh themselves at home every day. We want to see if this could be helpful in children as well. This research will last for about 12 weeks (3 months).

PEPN2121 : A Phase 1/2 Study of Tiragolumab (NSC# 827799, IND# 161266) and Atezolizumab (NSC# 783608, IND# 161266) in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 Deficient Tumors
This phase I/II trial studies how well tiragolumab and atezolizumab works when given to children and adults with SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficient tumors that that has either come back (relapsed) or does not respond to therapy (refractory). SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficiency means that tumor cells are missing the SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 genes, which is related to having more aggressive cancers that are harder to treat. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as tiragolumab and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Robotic versus Open Radical Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer (ROCC trial) (ROCC)
This study is to investigate if robotic assisted laparoscopy (small incision surgery), is worse than open surgery (otherwise known as a laparotomy) when performing a radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Previous research has been done and shown that patients receiving laparoscopy had an increased risk of recurrence of their cervical cancer. But since that time a lot has been learned and improvements have been made, hence why we are relooking at the differences between the two surgical approaches.

DORA Trial: Phase III Trial of Docetaxel vs. Docetaxel and Radium-223 for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)
The purpose of this research is to compare any good and bad effects of using radium-223 along with docetaxel chemotherapy (at a lower dose) treatment versus using docetaxel alone (at the usual dose). The addition of radium-223 to docetaxel could be a better cancer treatment than just docetaxel alone, but it could also cause additional side effects.

COG AALL2121: A Phase 2 study of SNDX-5613 in combination with chemotherapy for patients with relapsed or refractory KMT2A-rearranged infant leukemia
This phase II trial tests the safety and best dose of revumenib when given together with chemotherapy, and how well the treatment regimen works for infants and young children with leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) and is associated with a KMT2A (MLL) gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R). Revumenib is an oral medicine that directly targets the changes that occur in a cell with a KMT2A rearrangement and has been shown to specifically kill these leukemia cells in test tubes and animals. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, prednisone, asparaginase, 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. This trial is being done to find out if the combination of revumenib and chemotherapy may help to treat the cancer cells better than either treatment alone.

AOST2031: A Phase 3 Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Open vs Thoracoscopic Management of Pulmonary Metastases in Patients With Osteosarcoma
This phase III trial compares the effect of open thoracic surgery (thoracotomy) to thoracoscopic surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or VATS) in treating patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung (pulmonary metastases). Open thoracic surgery is a type of surgery done through a single larger incision (like a large cut) that goes between the ribs, opens up the chest, and removes the cancer. Thoracoscopy is a type of chest surgery where the doctor makes several small incisions and uses a small camera to help with removing the cancer.
