COG ACNS1931 - A Phase 3 Study of Selumetinib (NSC# 748727, IND# 77782) or Selumetinib in Combination with Vinblastine for non-NF1, non-TSC Patients with Recurrent or Progressive Low-Grade Gliomas (LGGs) Lacking BRAFV600E or IDH1 Mutations
This phase III trial investigates the best dose of vinblastine in combination with selumetinib and the benefit of adding vinblastine to selumetinib compared to selumetinib alone in treating children and young adults with low-grade glioma (a common type of brain cancer) that has come back after prior treatment (recurrent) or does not respond to therapy (progressive). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking a protein that lets tumor cells grow without stopping. Vinblastine blocks cell growth by stopping cell division and may kill cancer cells. Giving selumetinib in combination with vinblastine may work better than selumetinib alone in treating recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma.

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. This trial is being done evaluate the two different surgery methods for patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung to find out which is better.

COG ARST2032: A Prospective Phase 3 Study of Patients with Newly Diagnosed Very Low-risk and Low-risk Fusion Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues in the body. This phase III trial aims to maintain excellent outcomes in patients with very low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (VLR-RMS) while decreasing the burden of therapy using treatment with 24 weeks of vincristine and dactinomycin (VA) and examines the use of centralized molecular risk stratification in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma. Another aim of the study it to find out how well patients with low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (LR-RMS) respond to standard chemotherapy when patients with VLR-RMS and patients who have rhabdomyosarcoma with DNA mutations get separate treatment. Finally, this study examines the effect of therapy intensification in patients who have RMS cancer with DNA mutations to see if their outcomes can be improved.

A feasibility study of topical cannabinoids for treatment of aromatase inhibitor-associated musculoskeletal syndrome (AIMSS) in women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (CanAroma)
Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are commonly used in treating hormone-positive breast cancer. Unfortunately, many patients receiving this treatment experience Aromatase Inhibitor-Associated Musculoskeletal Syndrome (AIMSS), with symptoms like joint and bone pain and joint stiffness. The current therapies used to improve AIMSS symptoms have limited effectiveness and can cause their own side effects. In this research study, we are examining the feasibility of topical medical cannabis cream as a treatment option for AIMSS.

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.

MT2019-38: Development and Psychometric Testing of a Pediatric Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) Symptom Scale (PCSS)
The purpose of this study is to develop a questionnaire specifically designed for children and adolescents, which will help health care providers to better measure how bothersome symptoms of cGVHD are for children and adolescents living with cGVHD. Another purpose of this study is to design a caregiver companion questionnaire, to allow caregivers to measure how bothersome the symptoms of cGVHD are for their child/adolescent.
• children aged 5 to 17 years old, who have undergone prior allogeneic stem cell transplant
• clinical diagnosis of Graft vs Host Disease (cGVHD)
• currently receiving systemic treatment for cGVHD (including phototherapies), or has had systemic therapy for cGVHD tapered to discontinuation within the past 12 months -eligible caregiver proxy who is willing to participate in the study
• see link to clinicaltrials.gov for complete criteria
• participant's cognitive ability would compromise their ability to participate in study related procedures
• study staff will review
