MT2023-28: A Phase 1 Basket Study Evaluating the Safety and Feasibility of T-Plex, Autologous Customized T Cell Receptor-Engineered T Cells Targeting Multiple Peptide/HLA Antigens in Participants with Antigen-positive Locally Advanced (Unresectable) or Metastatic Solid Tumors: PLEXI-T(TM)
This study aims to find out if investigational new drugs, TSC-204-A0201, TSC-204- A0702 and TSC-200-A0201, can help your cancer better than the standard of care (SOC) that are currently available and accepted by medical experts as a proper treatment. T-cells are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. They help protect the body from infection and fight cancer. For this study, T-cells will be collected through a process called leukapheresis. T-cells from your leukapheresis will be used to make the study drugs specifically tailored for you and your immune system. The purpose of the study is to learn if the study drugs are safe and effective in treating your type of cancer.

HM2023-11 PH I study of ven/aza or ven in combination with ziftomenib (KO-539) or 7+3 induction chemo with ziftomenib for AML pts
There are certain genetic changes in the leukemia cell thought to drive the disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Ziftomenib is an investigational drug that blocks the menin pathway in hopes of preventing or slowing the leukemia cells from growing and dividing. The purpose of this study is to determine the safe dose of an investigational new drug (ziftomenib) used in combination with other study drugs i.e., venetoclax and azacitidine, to treat cancer. This will include an evaluation of side effects associated with ziftomenib in combination with the other study drugs and how ziftomenib works in combination with the other study drugs (venetoclax and azacitidine).

A Phase III, Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Emactuzumab vs. Placebo in Subjects with Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumour (TANGENT)
We are conducting research on a new drug called emactuzumab. Emactuzumab is a new type of monoclonal antibody. An antibody is a protein produced by the body’s immune system to detect harmful substances. A monoclonal antibody is an artificially created protein that acts like a human antibody. Each antibody is specific for a single substance. Emactuzumab antibodies are aimed at blocking a type of protein called “CSF-1 receptors” from being able to work and to stop a tumor from growing. We will also examine how long this response will last, the impact on movement and quality of life. We will also examine whether participants need surgery during treatment with emactuzumab. In this study, we will also examine the safety of emactuzumab.

MT2022-44 Analysis of Autoinflammation in Chronic Granulomatous Disease Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation or Gene Therapy (PIDTC 6908)
CGD disorders are a group of diseases that cause the immune system to function abnormally, leading to infections, autoimmunity and/or inflammation that can begin early in life. CGD is usually caused by changes in certain genes in DNA. Researchers are trying to learn what types of medical problems patients with CGD have and how these respond to treatment, including bone marrow transplantation and gene therapy. Researchers also want to learn which genes cause CGD and how specific gene abnormalities lead to medical problems.

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.

OptimICE-PCR: De-Escalation of Therapy in Early-Stage TNBC Patients Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy
We are doing this study because we want to find out if observation is as good as the usual care for breast cancer. The usual approach for patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who receive preoperative chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab is to continue to receive FDA-approved pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks after surgery. Participants will either get pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks, or will not receive any treatment and will be observed for up to 27 weeks. We will continue to follow participants every 6 months for 5 years and watch for side effects or cancer coming back. After that, participants will be checked every year for a total of 10 years after the study.
