Researchers want to learn whether these drugs can help shrink or stabilize cancer and whether certain tumor biomarkers may help predict how well patients respond to treatment.

The objective of this study is to examine the association between cannabis and/or cannabinoid use and cancer-related symptoms assessed monthly for one year in adults newly diagnosed with breast, colorectal, melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or non-small cell lung cancer who are planning or recently started to receive one or more systemic cancer directed therapies with chemotherapy and/or immune check point inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1, PD-L1 or CTLA-4. Participants complete surveys and have their medical records reviewed on study.

In this trial, researchers want to learn more about how well durvalumab plus tremelimumab with chemotherapy works in people with metastatic NSCLC and genetic mutations that can cause the cancer to be less responsive to treatment. This trial is planned to have 280 participants. These participants will be randomly (by chance) divided into one of two groups. One group will receive durvalumab plus tremelimumab with standard of care chemotherapy and one group will receive pembrolizumab with standard of care chemotherapy.

This study looks at how certain risk factors (such as age, gender, other medical conditions, and the type of immunotherapy used to treat the cancer) affect whether a patient with a malignant solid tumor will develop mild or serious side effects from the immunotherapy medications. Immunotherapy is the type of treatment that helps the body's immune system fight cancer. In the future, this information may help doctors make better decisions about cancer treatments

The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant ( before surgery) carboplatin and mirvetuximab soravtansine for women who have folate receptor alpha (FRα) -expressing advanced-stage serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer (EOC). Mirvetuximab Soravtansine (MIRV) is an investigational drug designed to selectively kill cancer cells. All participants will receive an intravenous infusion of MIRV in combination with carboplatin for up to 6 - 9 Cycles

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of elacestrant compared to standard endocrine therapy in participants with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive (ER+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor-2 negative (HER2-) early breast cancer with high risk of recurrence.

To ensure CDK4/6 inhibitors achieve their full clinical benefit, patients need to take them as prescribed, following a complex treatment schedule. Forgetfulness was the most common reason reported for missing doses of medication. Using the WiseBag along with CONCURxP or enhanced usual care may improve medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor.

This study examines the impact of social and genetic factors on outcomes in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors of Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

This is study to determine if a new drug, camizestrant, improves outcomes compared to usual adjuvant endocrine therapy for people who have ER+/HER2- early breast cancer with intermediate-high or high risk for disease recurrence. People who have completed initial therapy (with or without chemotherapy) are eligible for the trial. Treatment is planned to continue for 7 years.

The goal of this study is to evaluate nemtabrutinib compared with either ibrutinib or acalabrutinib for treatment of people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have not received any prior therapy.

This trial compares the addition of an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to usual chemotherapy versus usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with MammaPrint High 2 Risk (MP2) stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. Adding durvalumab to usual chemotherapy may be able to prevent the cancer from returning.

This trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of the combination of ipatasertib with megestrol acetate to megestrol acetate alone in women who have endometrial cancer that has come back (recurrent) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Ipatasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Megestrol acetate lowers the amount of estrogen and also blocks the use of estrogen made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. The combination of ipatasertib and megestrol acetate may be more effective in treating endometrial cancer than megestrol acetate alone.

This trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who had a complete response after preoperative chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help researchers determine if observation will result in the same risk of cancer coming back as pembrolizumab after surgery.

This study is testing whether a single additional treatment of radiation therapy, called maintenance radiotherapy, is safe and feasible for adults who have recently been diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM). Participants will first receive their usual treatment for GBM, including surgery, radiation therapy, and the chemotherapy drug temozolomide. About one month after completing standard radiation therapy, participants will receive one additional treatment of radiation therapy. The study will also look at changes in certain immune cells before and after the additional radiation treatment. Participants will continue their usual follow-up care every 2 to 4 months for up to 5 years after the additional treatment.

The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about what are the best methods for diagnosing and monitoring lung problems.

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.

This study is testing the study drug BDTX-4933 in people with locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors that are characterized by a KRAS, BRAF, or NRAS mutation/alteration(s). The primary objective of the study is to assess how well participants tolerate the drug and if it is effective.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about an investigational drug called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd; DS-7300. It is being studied to see if it is safe, and if cancer improves while taking it. I-DXd is a type of drug called an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are made to attach to tumor cells to deliver chemotherapy directly to tumor cells while sparing healthy cells.

We will enroll healthy pregnant women (following enrollment, all subsequent study procedures will be completed postpartum) or postpartum women on hormonal birth control or no hormonal birth control with either a recent history of smoking and a desire to remain abstinent after childbirth, or who are currently smoking and motivated to quit smoking. Participants will be recruited throughout the continental United States (US). Participants living in Minnesota (our clinical site) will receive a 12-week course of exogenous progesterone. Participants will be followed for six months with remote visits, self-administered surveys, and self-collection of dried blood spots to measure hormones and smoking-related biomarkers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how TAK-505 works in people with certain advanced solid tumors, including stomach, colorectal, lung, and head and neck cancers. The study will test TAK-505 at different dose levels to understand how it is tolerated, how it behaves in the body, and to help determine the dose that provides the best balance of effect and side effects for future studies.

This study is for people who have been diagnosed with cancer that is advanced (means disease has spread from the original site or has come back) or is metastatic (means the disease has spread to other parts of the body). FOG-001 is currently being developed to treat people with cancer. We want see how safe and tolerable FOG-001 is when given alone and together with other anticancer drugs at different dose levels in participants. We also want to see how FOG-001 affects the body and the cancer

The purpose of this study is to test a new CAR T-cell therapy called AZD0120 in adults with multiple myeloma that has returned or has not responded to previous treatments. Researchers want to learn whether this therapy is safe, determine the best dose to use, and see how well it works against the cancer. The study will also look at how the treatment affects the immune system and participants’ quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to compare two treatment approaches for people with amyloidosis: daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-VCD) chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant versus Dara-VCD followed by daratumumab maintenance therapy without a stem cell transplant.

This study is evaluating safusidenib, an investigational oral medication, for people with certain types of IDH1-mutant glioma. The study has three parts and will examine how well safusidenib works, how safe it is, and how the body processes the medication. Depending on the type and stage of glioma, participants may receive safusidenib after standard treatment, safusidenib or placebo, or safusidenib following surgery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a new NK cell therapy for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Participants will receive chemotherapy followed by an infusion of specially selected donor immune cells designed to help the body recognize and fight leukemia cells. Researchers will study the safety of this treatment, determine the most appropriate dose, and learn more about how the therapy works in the body.

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.

The aim of this study is to obtain newborn blood spots (NBS) and tumor specimens for children and adolescents diagnosed with malignant neoplasms.
