ANHL2121: Phase 2 Study of Tovorafenib (DAY101) in Relapsed and Refractory Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
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.

COG AGCT1532 - A Randomized Phase 3 Trial of Accelerated versus Standard BEP Chemotherapy for Patients with Intermediate and Poor-risk Metastatic Germ Cell Tumors (P3BEP)
This trial is an open label, randomized, stratified 2-arm Australian-led multicenter phase 3 clinical trial undertaken in two stages. Participants (age >= 11 years and <= 45 years) with intermediate and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumors will be randomized into either a “standard BEP” group or “accelerated BEP” group. Participants will be assigned to the two treatment arms in a 1:1 ratio and evaluated weekly, and then for 5 years after completing the study to assess the long-term effects of the chemotherapy. Bleomycin, Etoposide, Cisplatin (BEP) administered 3-weekly x 4 remains standard 1st line chemotherapy for intermediate- and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours (GCTs). BEP is accelerated by cycling Cisplatin and etoposide 2-weekly instead of 3-weekly. The aim of this study is to determine if accelerated BEP is superior to standard BEP as first-line chemotherapy for intermediate and poor risk metastatic GCTs.

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.

Methodology and Development of Tobacco Related Biomarkers Methodology and Development of Tobacco Related Biomarkers, part of 'Metabolism of Carcinogenic Tobacco-Specific Nitrosamines'
The purpose of this study is to better understand how tobacco and nicotine products affect our bodies. In this observational study smokers, vapers, smokeless tobacco users, nicotine replacement product users, non-users, and ex-users will be asked to provide biological samples. We will look for biological “markers” (biomarkers), or chemical changes in the body, that occur due to tobacco or nicotine exposure. Collected samples will be used for the development of biomarkers of toxicant exposure and for assessing exposure between the different groups. The intent is to eventually use these biomarkers to improve detection, prevention, and treatment strategies for tobacco-related diseases. This study will allow us to test currently used biomarkers, and to establish a biorepository (sample bank) to identify and develop new biomarkers associated with tobacco exposure and cessation. The type of samples and amount collected will depend on the specific biomarker(s) being developed or tested. Potential samples include saliva, cheek (buccal) & oral cells, blood, urine, hair, and/or nail clippings.
