A Study of Imlunestrant Versus Standard Endocrine Therapy in Participants With Early Breast Cancer (EMBER-4)
Disruption of estrogen signaling by drugs called selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) is one of the treatment options for patients with estrogen receptor positive (ER+) cancers. Imlunestrant is a SERD that disrupts estrogen signaling, and therefore should stop or slow down tumor growth in ER+ cancers. This study will help answer research questions about the safety of imlunestrant and any side effects, and how imlunestrant compares to standard-of-care endocrine therapy.

MT2021-26: Ruxolitinib for Early Lung Dysfunction after HSCT: a Phase II Study (HSCT)
While hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an effective therapy, as many as 25% of patients develop problems with their lungs as a result of this treatment. Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a type of lung injury after HSCT due to graft versus host disease. BO is commonly diagnosed late in patients, when lung injury is hard to treat and can be irreversible, leading to long-term lung disease or even death. The purpose of this research is to learn more about ruxolitinib as an early treatment for lung injury and BO after HSCT. Patients who are diagnosed with early lung dysfunction will be eligible for this research study.

ANBL2131/MT2024-35- A Phase 3 Study of Dinutuximab Added to Intensive Multimodal Therapy for Children with Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma
This phase III trial tests how well adding dinutuximab to induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgery radiation and stem cell transplantation works for treating children with newly diagnosed high risk neuroblastoma. Dinutuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called GD2, which is found in greater than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This helps cells of the immune system kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs such as cyclophosphamide, topotecan, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, temozolomide, irinotecan and isotretinoin, 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. During induction, chemotherapy and surgery are used to kill and remove as much tumor as possible. During consolidation, very high doses of chemotherapy are given to kill any remaining cancer cells. This chemotherapy also destroys healthy bone marrow, where blood cells are made. A stem cell transplant is a procedure that helps the body make new healthy blood cells to replace the blood cells that may have been harmed by the cancer and/or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is also given to the site where the cancer originated (primary site) and to any other areas that are still active at the end of induction.

MT2022-52: Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Using Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) with Post-Transplant Cytoxan (PTCy) for the Treatment of Hematological Diseases
Stem cell transplants (sometimes referred to as a bone marrow transplants) have been done for over 40 years but research continues to further refine the method to reduce side effects without affecting transplant success. The purpose of this study is to improve on transplant outcomes while reducing the potential side effects based on what has been learned from previous transplant studies using a reduced intensity preparative regimen. Information collected during this study (transplant outcomes and side effects) will be compared with the outcomes of the previous reduced intensity conditioning transplant study that enrolled more than 300 patients since 2002.

A PHASE 2 STUDY OF ALISERTIB IN COMBINATION WITH ENDOCRINE THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH HR+, HER2-NEGATIVE RECURRENT OR METASTATIC BREAST CANCER (ALISCA-Breast1)
The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, called alisertib, in combination with an ‘endocrine therapy’ such as anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane, tamoxifen or fulvestrant can help people with HR+, HER2-negative recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. The study will also look at how well people tolerate treatment with alisertib in combination with one of the endocrine therapies that are commonly used in clinical practice.
