The main purpose of this study is to look at how safe and well tolerated the study drug is in combination with ribociclib (Group 1) or alpelisib (Group 2), the levels of the study drug and ribociclib or alpelisib in your blood, and how your body and your cancer respond.

The overall goal of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of CPX-351 with daunorubicin and cytarabine on people with newly diagnosed AML to find out which is better, and to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the drug gilteritinib has when given with chemotherapy to children and young adults with newly diagnosed AML and the FLT3/ITD mutation or non-ITD FLT3 activating mutations.

This trial is testing MK-5684 in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with next-generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) and Taxane-based chemotherapy. This trial will compare MK-5684 to abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide. Abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide are standard treatments for mCRPC. The purpose of this trial is to test the safety of the trial drug, MK-5684, see how well the drug works, and see how the body handles the drug. We also want to see if participants who get MK-5684 live longer compared to those who get abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide.

The purpose of this research is to collect information about the safety and tolerability of the study drug ACE-232, along with how well it works to control metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

FT536 is a type of cell product made up of “natural killer” or NK cells. NK cells are a type of immune blood cell that are known to attack cancer cells. FT536 is produced by growing cells that come from a healthy human donor. The primary purpose of this study is to identify a safe dose of FT536 cells when given alone (monotherapy).

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of administering BAFFR-CAR T cells in participants with relapsed or refractory (r/r) B- cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). We also will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/RP2D of BAFFR-CART cells.

This study is being done to learn more about the efficacy and safety of LN-145 in participants with metastatic stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

This study is intended to find the highest amount of the study drug, VT3989, which can be safely taken by patients without causing too many side effects and to determine the recommended dose and dosing schedule for further research, how much of the study drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes to be cleared, and if the study drug will shrink tumors.

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.

The purpose of this study is to see if sacituzumab govitecan in combination with pembrolizumab can improve outcomes and delay the return of disease in participants with high-risk early Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) when compared to pembrolizumab alone or pembrolizumab in combination with capecitabine. Participants with low tumor expression of the estrogen and/or progesterone receptors (1 to 10%) will also be included in this study. The study treatment will be chosen by chance—like flipping a coin. There is a 1 out of 2 chances to receive Sacituzumab govitecan in combination with Pembrolizumab and 1 out of 2 chances to receive a study treatment of study doctor’s choice of either pembrolizumab alone or pembrolizumab in combination with capecitabine. Participants and their study doctor will know what study drug is being taken.

This drug study aims to estimate at initiation of treatment to the occurrence of disease progression or expiration at 1 years post autologous stem cell transplant of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients treated with BEAM autologous stem cell transplant combined with pembrolizumab given pretransplant and for 1 year post-transplant maintenance.

The investigational therapy in this study is referred to as Restorative Microbiota Therapy (RMT). It is prepared by extracting healthy bacteria from the stool of healthy human donors and making it into capsules taken by mouth. The donor stool samples are rigorously tested for harmful bacteria and viruses before processing. There is scientific evidence to suggest that RMT might make immunotherapy more effective. The primary goal of the study is to test if RMT makes durvalumab + tremelimumab treatment with chemotherapy more effective to control lung cancer.

This study is for people who have been diagnosed with advanced cancer that has not has not responded to standard treatment. FT836 is a type of cell product made up of “T cells” which are part of the immune system and are important in helping fight infections. T cells are also important in eliminating cancer cells. We want to test the safety of FT836 at different doses, to understand how the body processes and responds to FT836, and to find out what effects FT836 may have on participants and the cancer. The study will also find out what effects FT836, when given alone and with or without chemotherapy treatment (paclitaxel) and/or a monoclonal antibody (cetuximab or trastuzumab.

We have determined that the microbes (bacteria) in the colon can play a role in causing and preventing complications of colon surgery. While the surgical bowel prep before surgery eliminates the harmful bacteria, it also eliminates the beneficial bacteria that aid wound healing. The purpose of this study is to determine if we can restore the presence of good bacteria (also known as ‘intestinal microbiota’) in the colon by transplanting them from a healthy donor.

This study aims to quantify the rates of cervical cancer screening and endometrial sampling prior to gender-affirming hysterectomy, assess the need for these tests in TGD individuals, and explore patient-centered options for these tests.

The purpose of this research study is to see whether an experimental drug, PUL-042 Inhalation Solution (PUL-042), is effective in reducing the severity of lung infections in patients with hematologic malignancies and recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with viral infections due to PIV, hMPV, or RSV. Participants will receive PUL-042 or a placebo (an inactive agent that appears identical to PUL-042) through a nebulizer. This is a machine that uses a small motor to turn liquid into a mist, like a humidifier, so you can breathe the drug into your lungs. Participants will receive the experimental drug, PUL-042, or a placebo 3 times over a 6-day period.

Social determinants of health (SDoH) like housing instability, food insecurity, and financial burden, for example, can negatively affect people dealing with cancer. With new cancer treatments and higher costs for patients, people dealing with cancer may worry more about those issues. The goal of this study is to compare the ways people with cancer are connected to resources addressing specific needs and how those connections help their overall well-being. The research study will take about five months and participants will spend around one hour on research activities (each survey would take less than 15 minutes). The time you spend following up on helpful resources is completely up to participants.

This study will help to identify challenges and barriers to self-performing anal cancer screening tests, and may identify unique ways to make this form of screening easier, more cost-effective, and more frequently performed. We believe that it has the potential to minimize the frequency of both disease and death from anal cancer among high-risk patient groups.

The I-SPY2 study uses 10 years of results to help your doctor understand more about your tumor and how to classify it better. This means your doctor will have more information and might be able to offer you a new treatment that could work better than the usual treatments. We need better treatments and better ways to identify which patients will benefit most from particular treatments.

This study compares treatment with niraparib to temozolomide in adult participants who have newly-diagnosed, MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma.

This clinical research study is being conducted to gain knowledge about a new drug called BAY 2927088 for a type of cancer called advanced non-small cell lung cancer, which cannot be removed with surgery or has spread to other parts of the body, and has a mutation in the HER2 gene.

This study is being done to learn more about the safety and effectiveness of ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) against extensive stage small cell lung cancer.

This study is testing an compound called TP-3654, which is an investigational product being developed for Myelofibrosis.

This study will enroll patients with a blood cancer who need to undergo a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant using a donor that is not a full DNA match with them. It tests TRX103, a cellular therapy, to see if it is an effective and safe way to prevent Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD), a common and potentially serious side effect of stem cell transplant.

The purpose of the study is to compare two surgical procedures and their ability to decrease the risk of developing ovarian cancer for pre-menopausal women with BRCA1 mutations.

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.

The purpose of this research is to compare the effects of nivolumab with vusolimogene oderparepvec (VO) against standard of care treatment drug(s) currently available for patients with advanced melanoma. We expect that taking part in this research will last up to 60 months.

This partially randomized phase III trial studies iobenguane I-131 or ALK Inhibitor Therapy and standard therapy in treating younger patients (365 days to 30 years of age) with newly-diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma.

This phase II/III trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of the drug cabozantinib in combination with standard chemotherapy, and to compare the effect of adding cabozantinib to standard chemotherapy to standard chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed osteosarcoma. Cabozantinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. The drugs used in standard chemotherapy for this trial are methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin. Methotrexate stops cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. It is a type of antimetabolite. Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of tumor cells in the body. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Adding cabozantinib to standard chemotherapy may work better in treating newly diagnosed osteosarcoma.

This phase Ib/II trial evaluates the safety, optimal dose, and efficacy of the combination of epcoritamab and ibrutinib in treating patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or responded to previous treatment (refractory).
