Testing the Addition of the Drugs, Apalutamide and Abiraterone Acetate With Prednisone, to the Usual Hormone Therapy and Radiation Therapy After Surgery for Prostate Cancer

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Compare metastasis-free survival (MFS) of salvage radiation therapy (RT) and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist/antagonist versus (vs.) RT/GnRH agonist/antagonist with abiraterone acetate with prednisone and apalutamide for patients with pathologic node-positive prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy with detectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Compare health-related quality...

Phase 2 Trial of Voyager V1 in Combination With Cemiplimab in Cancer Patients

Patients with melanoma will be enrolled into two parallel cohorts; in one cohort (Intravenous melanoma cohort) patients will receive IV VV1 and patients in the other cohort (Intratumoral melanoma cohort) will receive both IV VV1 and Intratumoral VV1; both cohorts will receive IV cemiplimab in combination therapy with VV1 treatment....

Study of GNX102 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

GNX102 is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) developed by GlycoNex. GNX102 binds with high affinity to branched Lewis B/Lewis Y (LeB/LeY) glycans, which are novel glycans caused by glycosylation changes in tumors. The monomeric LeB and LeY are blood group related antigens, commonly present in healthy adult tissues at low...

Efficacy and Safety Study of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) With or Without Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Adults With Medically Inoperable Stage I or IIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-867/KEYNOTE-867)

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plus pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in the treatment of adult participants with medically inoperable Stage I or IIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary study hypotheses are: 1. SBRT plus pembrolizumab prolongs Event-free Survival...

Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in Treating Patients With Rare Tumors

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 overall response rate (ORR) in subsets of patients with advanced rare cancers treated with ipilimumab plus nivolumab combination immunotherapy. II. To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) in patients with gestational trophoblastic tumors treated with...

Chemoradiation With or Without Atezolizumab in Treating Patients With Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare progression free survival (PFS) for patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) treated with chemoradiation +/- atezolizumab. (Phase II) II. To compare overall survival (OS) for patients with LS-SCLC treated with chemoradiation +/- atezolizumab. (Phase III) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare progression free...

Testing MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab) as Adjuvant Therapy for Triple Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) of patients with triple-negative (TNBC) or low estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and/or HER2 borderline breast cancer who have >= 1 cm residual invasive breast cancer and/or positive lymph nodes (ypN1mi, ypN1, ypN2, ypN3) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy randomized to receive 1 year of...

Study of Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Patients With Solid Tumors

LN-144 (Lifileucel)/LN-145/LN-145-S1 is an adoptive cell transfer therapy that utilizes an autologous TIL manufacturing process for the treatment of patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma, advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, and non-small cell lung cancer. The adoptive cell transfer therapy used in this study involves...

Phase II Anti-PD1 Epigenetic Therapy Study in NSCLC.

Objective response rate to Nivolumab preceded by epigenetic priming. Response will be assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria, baseline scans for this assessment will be the baseline scans done within 4 weeks of enrollment.

Epigenetics, Vitamin C, and Abnormal Blood Cell Formation - Vitamin C in Patients With Low-Risk Myeloid Malignancies

BACKGROUND Recent investigations have shown that mutations in epigenetic regulators are common, both in the apparently normal hematopoiesis of the elderly and in patients (pts) with myeloid cancers. It was long anticipated that DNA methylation was a permanent silencing mark, but with the discovery of the ten eleven translocation (TET)...

Single Fraction Stereotactic Radiosurgery Compared With Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Treating Patients With Resected Metastatic Brain Disease

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To ascertain if time to surgical bed failure is increased with fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (FSRS) compared to single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS) in patients with resected brain metastasis. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To ascertain if there is better emotional well-being at 9 months as assessed by the Functional Assessment...

SWOG S1827 (MAVERICK) Testing Whether the Use of Brain Scans Alone Instead of Brain Scans Plus Preventive Brain Radiation Affects Lifespan in Patients With Small Cell Lung Cancer

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate whether overall survival (OS) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surveillance alone is not inferior to MRI surveillance combined with prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) for the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare cognitive failure free survival (CFFS) rate up to...

Erlotinib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Been Completely Removed by Surgery (An ALCHEMIST Treatment Trial)

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess whether adjuvant therapy with erlotinib hydrochloride (erlotinib) will result in improved overall survival (OS) over observation for patients with completely resected stage IB (>= 4 cm)-IIIA epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (confirmed centrally) following complete resection and standard post-operative...
