Increasing HPV vaccination coverage among pediatric, adolescent, and young adult (PAYA) cancer survivors: A multilevel intervention

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).

A randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial assessing the impact of lipoprotein(a) lowering with pelacarsen (TQJ230) on the progression of calcific aortic valve stenosis [Lp(a)FRONTIERS CAVS]

The purpose of the study is to assess if the study treatment, pelacarsen, taken by people with mild or moderate CAVS and elevated lipoprotein(a) can safely help slow the progression of calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS). Pelacarsen is a treatment being tested that acts on a particle called Lp(a), which if elevated, may play a role in CAVS.

Efficacy of Belimumab and Rituximab Compared to Rituximab Alone for the Treatment of Primary Membranous Nephropathy (REBOOT)

People with Primary MN lose more protein in their urine because the filters in their kidneys may be damaged. It is possible that some belimumab may also be lost in the urine because of this. This study will measure belimumab in the blood to decide if people with high urine protein should receive a higher dose of belimumab. Another purpose of this study is to help learn about whether the combination of belimumab and rituximab treatment is effective in making and keeping Primary MN inactive.

COG AGCT1531 - A Phase 3 Study of Active Surveillance for Low Risk and a Randomized Trial of Carboplatin vs. Cisplatin for Standard Risk Pediatric and Adult Patients with Germ Cell Tumors

This partially randomized phase III trial studies how well active surveillance, bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, or cisplatin work in treating pediatric and adult patients with germ cell tumors. Active surveillance may help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors after their tumor is removed. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, 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.

Care Partners and Patients Navigating Year 1 of Dyadic Self-Management post-LVAD

The first year after LVAD implant involves a lot of changes to managing life with an LVAD for both the patient and the caregiver (informal or family care partner). Both patient and care partner will enroll in the study so that we can better understand the experiences of each person, including: self-management, emotional wellbeing, care partner experience and quality of life. You will be asked to fill out questionnaires after LVAD implant (at four time-points) over six months. We also ask you to wear a research watch (for ten days) to measure activity and rest. You can do this entire study from your home.

MT2023-30: A Phase 1 Study of FT825/ONO-8250, an Off-the-Shelf CAR T-Cell Therapy, With or Without Monoclonal Antibodies, in HER2-Positive or Other Advanced Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of FT825 at different doses and to understand the way the body processes and responds to FT825. The study will also find out what effects FT825, when given with or without a monoclonal antibody (cetuximab) and different chemotherapy regimens, have on cancer. FT825 is a type of cell product made up of “T cells.” T cells are part of your immune system and are important in helping fight infections. T cells are also important in eliminating cancer cells.

National Liver Cancer Screening Trial (TRACER)

Finding liver cancer early is important to increase chances of getting treatment and decreasing risk of dying from cancer. The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of two liver cancer screening methods to detect liver cancer at an early stage. Participants will be randomly (by chance) placed in one of two study groups – one group will undergo ultrasound imaging of the liver with or without a blood test to measure a specific protein, whereas the second group will undergo a blood test for liver cancer screening called a GALAD score. The GALAD score combines three blood tests to screen for liver cancer. We do not currently know if GALAD would help detect liver cancer earlier than standard screening.

NRG-GY026: A Phase II/III Study of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Alone or Combined with either Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-Oysk (Herceptin Hylecta) or Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, and Hyaluronidase-Zzxf (Phesgo) in HER2 Positive, Stage I-IV Endometrial Serous Carcinoma or Carcinosarcoma

We are doing this study to see if we can lower the chance of endometrial cancer coming back and causing death by adding a drug or drugs that target HER2 proteins in addition to the usual combination of chemotherapy drugs. We want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your endometrial cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for endometrial cancer, which in this case would be chemotherapy.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study of darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared with placebo plus ADT in patients with high-risk biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer (ARASTEP)

ADT is a systemic therapy called hormone therapy which reduces the androgen hormone (testosterone) levels to prevent prostate cancer cells from growing. This study is being done to learn more about a new drug called darolutamide given in combination with ADT for prostate cancer.

A PHASE III TRIAL OF ONE VS. TWO YEARS OF MAINTENANCE OLAPARIB, WITH OR WITHOUT BEVACIZUMAB, IN PATIENTS WITH BRCA1/2 MUTATED OR HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION DEFICIENT (HRD+) OVARIAN CANCER FOLLOWING RESPONSE TO FIRST LINE PLATINUM-BASED CHEMOTHERAPY

The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is treatment of ovarian cancer with surgery, radiation, or U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs. Sometimes, combinations of these treatments are used. We are doing this study because we want to find out if the use of Olaparib for one year is as good or worse than the usual approach for ovarian tumor.
