SPR001-205 A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics,;and Exploratory Pharmacodynamics of SPR001 (Tildacerfont) in Children: Aged 6 to 17 Years with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The goal of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of tildacerfont in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). When a child is enrolled in the study, in addition to taking the study drug (tildacerfont), he or she will continue to take his or her standard glucocorticoid doses.

A Phase 1B and randomized phase 2 trial of megestrol acetate with or without ipatasertib in recurrent or metastatic endometrioid endometrial cancer
The study is divided into two portions. In the first phase, we want to test the safety of a drug called ipatasertib, by testing different doses of the drug to see which dose is safer for people when given in combination with a fixed dose of a drug called megestrol acetate (MA). In Phase II, we are studying how safe the treatment is and how well it works. We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for endometrial cancer.

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.

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.

Colorectal Cancer Metastatic dMMR/MSI-H Immuno-Therapy (COMMIT) Study: A Randomized Phase III Study of mFOLFOX6/Bevacizumab/Atezolizumab Combination Versus Single Agent Atezolizumab in the First-Line Treatment of Patients With Deficient DNA Mismatch Repair (dMMR)/Microsatellite Instability-High (MSI-H) Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
We are studying how well combination chemotherapy, bevacizumab, and/or atezolizumab work in treating people with deficient deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair colorectal cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin calcium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab may stop or slow colorectal cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving combination chemotherapy, bevacizumab, and atezolizumab may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer.

Effects of Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation Location on Motor Impairment in Parkinsons disease; Udall Project 2 Aims 1 & 2 Study
This protocol will characterize the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) location (both adverse and beneficial) on motor signs in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This information can be used to inform future DBS protocols to tailor stimulation to the specific needs of a patient. If targeted dorsal GP stimulation is shown to significantly improve motor features that are typically resistant to dopamine replacement therapy, these experiments will likely have major impact on clinical practice by providing a potential strategy to treat medically intractable symptoms.
