This is an early study of a new drug, called [225Ac]-FPI-1434, to treat solid tumors that have not responded to usual treatment. We are testing different doses of the drug and looking at how well it works for treating the cancer and side effects that occur.

We are looking at adding lomustine to temozolomide and radiation therapy when compared to temozolomide and radiation therapy alone (usual care). We will compare the effect (shrinking or stabilizing) and side effects when treating newly diagnosed MGMT methylated glioblastoma. Each of the drugs and radiation work in a different way to stop the growth of tumor cells.

This study compares treatment outcomes between patients of African American/Black (AA) ancestry and European American/White (EA) ancestry currently receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Collecting samples of blood and saliva and health and treatment information from racially diverse patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment over time may help doctors better understand health care disparities among all cancer patients.

We are studying different drugs for the treatment of nausea and vomiting that is caused by chemotherapy treatment of people who have breast cancer.

We are comparing the effectiveness of the combination of ramucirumab and pembrolizumab compared to the usual chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). The drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells. We will compare how well the treatment regimens work and the side effects that occur.

We are studying an internet-based pain coping skills program with pain education for cancer survivors who have persistent pain. Pain severity and interference will be compared to people who receive only pain education. The pain coping program has 8 sessions that are completed in the first 10 weeks of starting the study. The group that receives only pain education will receive access to the program after 6 months. Everyone is followed for 9 months

We are studying how well radiation therapy with or without olaparib works in treating people with inflammatory breast cancer. Olaparib may keep cancer cells from repairing themselves, making them die. We want to see if adding this drug to radiation therapy is more effective.

We are enrolling people who have had complete surgical removal of a stage II or stage III colorectal cancer. We will draw blood samples for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to find out if this blood test can be used to detect recurrence of the cancer. People will be followed for at least 3 years and up to 5 years.

We are comparing treatment of early stage, hormone positive breast cancer with and without radiation therapy. One group will receive radiation therapy with endocrine therapy and the other group will receive endocrine therapy alone. We want to find out if there is any difference in how often breast cancer recurs in the same breast.

The purpose of this research is to test the efficacy of different interventions to increase vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV). Survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancers are at increased risk of developing HPV-associated secondary cancers, but have lower HPV vaccination coverage compared to the general population. Interventions which are found to be successful in this study will be incorporated into future survivorship care to improve adherence to recommend preventive healthcare practices. All research procedures will be conducted remotely (e.g. online).

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.

This phase III trial studies if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment with carboplatin/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma (LGG), and to see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic pathway (vision nerves).

This will be a Phase II, two-arm, nonrandomized, non-comparative, open-label study in participants ≥ 1 year of age with iobenguane avid, recurrent or progressive high-risk neuroblastoma. Participants not eligible for vorinostat treatment may receive 131I-MIBG as monotherapy.

This is a treatment protocol for an unrelated umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT) using a myeloablative preparative regimen for the treatment of hematological diseases, including, but not limited to acute leukemias. There is no research element except the collection of routine clinical data.

The main purpose of the study is to collect blood samples and medical information to help Nucleix in the development of an investigational test that aims to differentiate between individuals at high risk with and without lung cancer.

A Phase 1 and pharmacokinetic study of Uproleselan (GMI-1271, IND #139758, NSC #801708) in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine for patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or mixed phenotype acute leukemia that expresses E-selectin ligand on the cell membrane and is in second or greater relapse or that is refractory to relapse therapy

The purpose of this study is to study the evolution of early life risk factors that may lead to cancer and other conditions. This is a prospective cohort study of families who reside in Minnesota.

Targeted medication delivery near the spinal cord (intrathecal pump) may be offered for cancer pain treatment in carefully selected patients. Prior studies showed an improved functional status reduction in oral medications and their side effects. Cancer survivors receiving intrathecal pump treatment for pain are eligible to participate in the research and share their stories. After consenting, a interview (45 minutes by zoom) will be conducted before and after the treatment to improve our understanding of patient perceptions of pain treatment with an intrathecal pump.

The purpose of this study if to determine if stool or blood can be used to detect colon cancers as early or earlier than colonoscopy. The researchers plan to use these samples to learn about specific proteins (also known as biomarkers) that may indicate colon polyps, colon cancer or an increased risk of developing colon cancer. In order to learn more about preventing and detecting colon and rectal cancer, we are collecting samples from subjects with cancer, adenomas, and colonoscopies who may be at risk for polyps.

There is no consensus on the radiation dose required to relieve the pain from bone lesions from multiple myeloma. Usually, patients receive between 10 and 12 radiation treatments to achieve pain relief. But a shorter course of radiotherapy may be more effective. This study will evaluate whether pain relief can be achieved using only 1 or 2 radiation treatments, which will be delivered to a painful bone lesion. Your study doctor will decide whether you receive 1 or 2 treatments. The total amount of radiation you will receive will be the same whether it is done in one or two treatment sessions.

This phase III trial compares the safety and effect of adding vinorelbine to vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide (VAC) for the treatment of patients with high risk rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). High risk refers to cancer that is likely to recur (come back) after treatment or spread to other parts of the body. This study will also examine if adding maintenance therapy after VAC therapy, with or without vinorelbine, will help get rid of the cancer and/or lower the chance that the cancer comes back. Vinorelbine and vincristine are in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. Dactinomycin is a type of antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. Vinorelbine, vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide are chemotherapy medications that work by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. This trial may have the potential to eliminate rhabdomyosarcoma for a long time or for the rest of patient's life.

This randomized phase III trial studies how well imatinib mesylate and combination chemotherapy work in treating patients (> 1 year and < 21 years) with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, 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 imatinib mesylate and combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, including lymphomas and desmoid tumors.

This study is looking at how well serum tumor markers work to monitor people who have hormone receptor positive Her2 negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. We want to see if using the markers (from a blood sample) is as good as using scans to monitor disease.

We are studying the use of pembrolizumab to treat people who have stage IV non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer. Pembrolizumab may help the body’s own immune system attack cancer so tumor cells cannot grow and spread. We are looking at when it is most effective to give the pembrolizumab and when to combine it with other anticancer drugs, pemetrexed and carboplatin.

This study uses different drug combinations to treat women who have endometrial cancer that has come back or has not responded to treatment. The drugs have different ways of stopping the growth of tumor cells and we are looking to see if different combinations are more effective.

We are studying the addition of a drug to the treatment for people who have triple-negative breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells. Some people will receive the current treatment and others will have the current treatment with carboplatin added. The results of the two treatments will be compared.

The overall goal of this phase 3 non-inferiority study is to assess if selumetinib works as well as the standard treatment using carboplatin and vincristine (called CV) for subjects with low-grade glioma (LGG).

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).

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.
