Observation or Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Grade II Meningioma That Has Been Completely Removed by Surgery

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine, in terms of progression-free survival (PFS), the extent of clinical benefit of the addition of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) to gross total resection (GTR) for patients with newly diagnosed World Health Organization (WHO) grade II meningioma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Overall survival (OS). II. Disease-specific survival (DSS)....

7T MRI Scan for the Early Detection of Melanoma Brain Metastases

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Assess the potential superiority of contrast-enhanced (CE) 7T MRI by comparing to standard of care CE 3T MRI in detecting occult brain metastases lesion at time of diagnosis of new brain metastases. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. Describe the imaging characteristics of melanoma brain metastases on 7T MRI of...

Regional Radiotherapy in Biomarker Low-Risk Node Positive and T3N0 Breast Cancer

Women with node positive breast cancer normally will receive endocrine therapy and some may receive chemotherapy to help prevent the cancer from coming back. Many women will also receive radiotherapy to the whole breast/chest area and the surrounding lymph glands (called regional radiotherapy). No one really knows whether patients with...

S1501 Carvedilol in Preventing Cardiac Toxicity in Patients With Metastatic HER-2-Positive Breast Cancer

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess whether prophylactic beta blocker therapy with carvedilol compared with no intervention reduces the risk of subsequent cardiac dysfunction in patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving trastuzumab?based HER-2 targeted therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess whether prophylactic beta blocker therapy with carvedilol compared with no intervention...

Testing of the Anti Cancer Drugs CB-839 HCl (Telaglenastat) and MLN0128 (Sapanisertib) in Advanced Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the safety and tolerability of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 hydrochloride (CB-839 HCl) (telaglenastat) in combination with MLN0128 (sapanisertib) and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. II. To examine preliminary efficacy of CB-839 HCl...

Testing the Addition of the Drug Apalutamide 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 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 of life (Expanded Prostate Cancer...

International Penile Advanced Cancer Trial (International Rare Cancers Initiative Study)

This is an international phase III trial, with a Bayesian design, incorporating two sequential randomisations. It efficiently examines a series of questions that routinely arise in the sequencing of treatment. The study design has evolved from lengthy international consultation that has enabled us to build consensus over which questions arise...

Testing the Addition of the Drug Atezolizumab to the Usual Radiation Treatment for Patients With Early Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare overall survival (OS) in patients with inoperable, early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) randomized to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with or without atezolizumab. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare investigator-assessed progression-free survival (IA-PFS) between the arms. II. To compare progression free survival (PFS) by...

Blue Light Cystoscopy With Cysview® Registry

Data will be captured on specific patient types undergoing Blue Light Cystoscopy with Cysview for known or suspected non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Specific clinical questions will be asked. 1. What is the incremental detection rate with Blue Light Cystoscopy with Cysview over conventional white light cystoscopy in each of the...

Accelerated v's Standard BEP Chemotherapy for Patients With Intermediate and Poor-risk Metastatic Germ Cell Tumours

Bleomycin, Etoposide, Cisplatin (BEP) administered 3-weekly x 4 remains standard 1st line chemotherapy for intermediate- and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours (GCTs). Cure rates are over 90% for good-risk disease, 85% with intermediate-risk, and about 70% for poor-risk disease. Previous strategies to improve first-line chemotherapy have failed to improve cure...

Epidemiology of Young Lung Cancer - Survey

This is a 100% virtual (remote), case-case study to explore potential environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors that may be associated with driver mutations of young lung cancer in the U.S.

Prospective Validation of Prostate Biomarkers for Repeat Biopsy

Target enrollment is 1000 prospectively enrolled subjects with an initial negative biopsy scheduled for repeat biopsy. Subjects must have had their negative index prostate biopsy procedure within 30 months of being scheduled for their repeat biopsy. All enrolled subjects will have all core tissues from the initial negative biopsy blinded...

Core Biopsies for Establishing a Breast Tumor Tissue Repository

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To develop a baseline and serial breast cancer core biopsy repository within the University of Southern California (USC)/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center Women's Cancer Program. II. To develop and maintain a secure clinical database of relevant demographic, clinical, pathologic and longitudinal outcome characteristics of the samples to be...
