This study is being done to learn how well ripretinib works against cancer as compared to sunitinib in patients with a specific GIST-gene mutation who have received imatinib. We will also learn more about the safety of ripretinib and look at how ripretinib may affect your body. The choice of whether you will be given ripretinib or sunitinib will be assigned by a computer, by chance, like the flip of a coin. You will have a 2 out of 3 chances of receiving ripretinib. You will know if you are receiving ripretinib or sunitinib.

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a new procedure to treat Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I Hurler-Scheie and Scheie (MPS I). This procedure involves collecting some white blood cells (termed “B cells”) and growing them outside of the body in a laboratory. While the cells are in the lab, the B cells will be changed to produce more of the IDUA that is missing. This process is called “genetic modification.” The newly modified B cells are then infused back into the participant.

Researchers hope that using Fisetin, an antioxidant, will reduce inflammation in the body caused by sepsis, which could help your body and organs have more time to recover. Placebo in this study will be something that looks similar to the study treatment, but does not contain any active drug. Everyone will receive 4 pills, but your group will determine how many of the pills are Fisetin. Researchers will look at the potential effects Fisetin or placebo has on inflammation in the body and how sick participants are at 7 days and 28 days.

This phase III trial tests how well adding dinutuximab to induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgery radiation and stem cell transplantation works for treating children with newly diagnosed high risk neuroblastoma. Dinutuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called GD2, which is found in greater than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This helps cells of the immune system kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs such as cyclophosphamide, topotecan, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, temozolomide, irinotecan and isotretinoin, 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. During induction, chemotherapy and surgery are used to kill and remove as much tumor as possible. During consolidation, very high doses of chemotherapy are given to kill any remaining cancer cells. This chemotherapy also destroys healthy bone marrow, where blood cells are made. A stem cell transplant is a procedure that helps the body make new healthy blood cells to replace the blood cells that may have been harmed by the cancer and/or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is also given to the site where the cancer originated (primary site) and to any other areas that are still active at the end of induction.

The purpose of the study is to document the feasibility of undergoing surgery for cancer after receiving 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy carboplatin and mirvetuximab soravtansine as first-line treatment in patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer that are Folate Receptor alpha positive.

This trial is testing MK-5684 in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with next-generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) and Taxane-based chemotherapy. This trial will compare MK-5684 to abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide. Abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide are standard treatments for mCRPC. The purpose of this trial is to test the safety of the trial drug, MK-5684, see how well the drug works, and see how the body handles the drug. We also want to see if participants who get MK-5684 live longer compared to those who get abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide.

The treatment (chemotherapy and transplant procedures) is considered standard clinical care that are usually given to the patients with this disease. The research aspect of this study is to collect data on the patients who are being treated on this plan. Patients will be followed throughout the course of their clinical care and for three years after their transplant.

The investigational therapy in this study is referred to as Restorative Microbiota Therapy (RMT). It is prepared by extracting healthy bacteria from the stool of healthy human donors and making it into capsules taken by mouth. The donor stool samples are rigorously tested for harmful bacteria and viruses before processing. There is scientific evidence to suggest that RMT might make immunotherapy more effective. The primary goal of the study is to test if RMT makes durvalumab + tremelimumab treatment with chemotherapy more effective to control lung cancer.

The primary purpose of this study is to record outcomes and patient characteristics in the Cancer Center’s and BMT databases for patients who are undergoing an allogeneic (donor) hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery (engraftment) and how patients are doing at 3 months and 6 months after the transplant. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

ADT is a systemic therapy called hormone therapy which reduces the androgen hormone (testosterone) levels to prevent prostate cancer cells from growing. This study is being done to learn more about a new drug called darolutamide given in combination with ADT for prostate cancer.

This study is for people who have essential tremor and will be receiving the Boston Scientific Vercise Genus deep brain stimulation (DBS) system. We are studying the possibility that a kind of deep brain stimulation called "coordinated reset" stimulation (CR-DBS) will be more effective than current DBS treatment for essential tremor. We expect that participants will be in this research study for about 9 to 11 months.

This study will compare the effectiveness and durability of intensive behavioral counseling vs. medical management plus low-intensity behavioral counseling on BMI, body fat, cardiometabolic risk factors, and quality of life in adolescents with severe obesity. We hypothesize that Wegovy (semaglutide) plus low-intensity behavioral counseling will elicit superior reductions in BMI and body fat and greater improvement in cardiometabolic factors and quality of life compared to intensive behavioral counseling at 56 weeks.

Currently, more than half of all women who are able to quit smoking cigarettes during pregnancy start smoking again within six months after they give birth. We want to find out if the drug bupropion (a commercially-available medicine) can help women who quit smoking during pregnancy to continue not smoking after they give birth. All study visits can be completed either in-person or virtually.

This study will enroll children aged 6 to 12 years who have difficulty in maintaining a healthy weight and see if the medication Vyvanse may help them to reduce their weight.

The purpose of this study is to measure levels of blood and brain chemicals related to oxidative stress and inflammation in healthy volunteers and individuals with Type 1 Gaucher disease (GD1) to see if these levels are altered by GD1. We will also examine if there is a change in these blood and brain chemicals after participants begin taking oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is available both as a prescription medication and a natural product that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients (≤ 30 years old) with newly diagnosed stage II-IV diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors (DAWT) or favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) that have come back (relapsed).This trial may help doctors find out what effects, good and/or bad, regimen UH-3 (vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, etoposide, and irinotecan) has on patients with newly diagnosed DAWT and standard risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with only 2 drugs for the initial WT)and regimen ICE/Cyclo/Topo (ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and topotecan) has on patients with high and very high risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with 3 or more drugs for the initial WT).

BEAM-101 is an experimental new therapy being developed for treating people with SCD and vaso-occlusive crises. The goal of this study is to see if BEAM-101 is safe and effective for people in the study. The study sponsor and study doctors would also like to see if individuals who are treated with BEAM-101 require fewer blood transfusions and experience fewer vasoocclusive crises requiring hospitalization, compared to before they received BEAM-101. This study will also measure the levels of fetal hemoglobin along with measures that assess quality of life and ability to function following treatment with BEAM-101.

This research trial studies the Project: Every Child for younger patients with cancer. Gathering health information over time from younger patients with cancer may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and activity of tovorafenib (DAY101) in treating patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), has come back (relapsed) after previous treatment, or does not respond to therapy (refractory). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of disease that occurs when the body makes too many immature Langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell). When these cells build up, they can form tumors in certain tissues and organs including bones, skin, lungs and pituitary gland and can damage them. This tumor is more common in children and young adults. DAY101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Using DAY101 may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the overall safety of VOR33 in participants with acute myeloid leukemia. VOR33 is a genome-edited hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell therapy product. Other objectives of this study include assessing the safety and tolerability and identifying the maximum tolerated dose of Mylotarg, which is an antibody-drug conjugate already approved by the FDA for adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

The purpose of this screening study is to collect samples to conduct the testing of specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA). TScan Therapeutics is developing cellular therapies across multiple solid tumors in which the eligibility criteria require that participants have specific HLA types. The results from this screening study will be used to determine if participants meet the eligibility criteria and could potentially be enrolled in a future TScan treatment study.

This study is recruiting people who have developed an infection of the lower intestine (the colon) by bacteria called Clostridioides difficile (abbreviated C. difficile or C. diff). The standard treatment for this infection is with antibiotics, but in some people, the infection keeps coming back. The purpose of this research is to test whether an investigational drug can prevent a return of the infection. We want to make sure LMN-201 is safe when used as part of standard of care for C. diff, and we want to see if we can improve treatment and reduce re-infection.

We are looking for participants who have tics. We would like to measure your tics before, during and after a course of Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) .

The purpose of this study is to learn more about an investigational drug called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd; DS-7300. It is being studied to see if it is safe, and if cancer improves while taking it. I-DXd is a type of drug called an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are made to attach to tumor cells to deliver chemotherapy directly to tumor cells while sparing healthy cells.

This study explores how engaging in creative activities may be helpful for mental health and wellbeing in adolescents. Study participants will attend eight sessions (over two weeks) of Creativity Camp which involves a range of different kinds of arts activities. Participants will also complete a series of questionnaires, interviews, and other assessments to assess the potential benefits of the camp. We have previously shown that Creativity Camp is effective for reducing depression symptoms and improving well-being in adolescents with depression.
