    TRIAL NUMBER: ACCL1932

    Title: Letermovir Prophylaxis for Cytomegalovirus in Pediatric Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

    Purpose: This phase III trial determines whether taking prophylactic letermovir will reduce the likelihood of infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) in children and adolescents after stem cell transplant. The treatments used to prepare for HCT reduce the body's natural infection-fighting ability and increase the likelihood of an infection with a virus called cytomegalovirus. "Prophylaxis" means to take a drug to prevent a disease or side effect. Letermovir is an antiviral drug that stops cytomegalovirus from multiplying and may prevent cytomegalovirus infection and make the disease less severe.

    Title: A Feasibility and Randomized Phase 2/3 Study of the VEFGR2/MET Inhibitor Cabozantinib in Combination With Cytotoxic Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed Osteosarcoma

    Purpose: 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.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AOST2031

    Title: A Phase 3 Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Open vs Thoracoscopic Management of Pulmonary Metastases in Patients With Osteosarcoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of open thoracic surgery (thoracotomy) to thoracoscopic surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or VATS) in treating patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung (pulmonary metastases). Open thoracic surgery is a type of surgery done through a single larger incision (like a large cut) that goes between the ribs, opens up the chest, and removes the cancer. Thoracoscopy is a type of chest surgery where the doctor makes several small incisions and uses a small camera to help with removing the cancer. This trial is being done evaluate the two different surgery methods for patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung to find out which is better.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ACNS2031

    Title: A Phase 3 Study of Sodium Thiosulfate for Reduction of Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity in Children With Average-Risk Medulloblastoma and Reduced Therapy in Children With Medulloblastoma With Low-Risk Features

    Purpose: This phase III trial tests the addition of sodium thiosulfate to standard of care chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with low or average risk medulloblastoma (a type of cancer in the brain). Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Although treatment for newly diagnosed average-risk and low-risk medulloblastoma is generally effective at treating the cancer, there are still concerns about the side effects of such treatment. Side effects are unintended problems that arise due to treatment such as learning difficulties, lower amounts of hormones, hearing problems, or other problems in performing daily activities. Patients with medulloblastoma often receive treatment with chemotherapy drugs including cisplatin. Cisplatin may cause hearing loss as a side effect. Previous studies with sodium thiosulfate have shown that it may help reduce or prevent hearing loss caused by cisplatin. This study looks at adding sodium thiosulfate to standard treatment for medulloblastoma (radiation therapy and chemotherapy, including cisplatin) to find out if it reduces hearing loss.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ACNS1821

    Title: A Phase 1/2 Trial of Selinexor (KPT-330) and Radiation Therapy in Newly-Diagnosed Pediatric Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and High-Grade Glioma (HGG)

    Purpose: This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of selinexor given in combination with standard radiation therapy in treating children and young adults with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma (HGG) with a genetic change called H3 K27M mutation. It also tests whether combination of selinexor and standard radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in this patient population. Glioma is a type of cancer that occurs in the brain or spine. Glioma is considered high risk (or high-grade) when it is growing and spreading quickly. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. DIPG is a subtype of HGG that grows in the pons (a part of the brainstem that controls functions like breathing, swallowing, speaking, and eye movements). This trial has two parts. The only difference in treatment between the two parts is that some subjects treated in Part 1 may receive a different dose of selinexor than the subjects treated in Part 2. In Part 1 (also called the Dose-Finding Phase), investigators want to determine the dose of selinexor that can be given without causing side effects that are too severe. This dose is called the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In Part 2 (also called the Efficacy Phase), investigators want to find out how effective the MTD of selinexor is against HGG or DIPG. Selinexor blocks a protein called CRM1, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. It is a type of small molecule inhibitor called selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE). Radiation therapy uses high energy to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. The combination of selinexor and radiation therapy may be effective in treating patients with newly-diagnosed DIPG and H3 K27M-Mutant HGG.

    TRIAL NUMBER: DCP-001

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ALTE2131

    Title: Triptorelin and Protection of Ovarian Reserve in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of giving triptorelin vs no triptorelin in preventing ovarian damage in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer receiving chemotherapy with an alkylating agents. Alkylating agents are part of standard chemotherapy, but may cause damage to the ovaries. If the ovaries are not working well or completely shut down, then it will be difficult or impossible to get pregnant in the future. Triptorelin works by blocking certain hormones and causing the ovaries to slow down or pause normal activity. The triptorelin used in this study stays active in the body for 24 weeks or about 6 months after a dose is given. After triptorelin is cleared from the body, the ovaries resume normal activities. Adding triptorelin before the start of chemotherapy treatment may reduce the chances of damage to the ovaries.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ACNS1833

    Title: A PHASE 3 RANDOMIZED NON-INFERIORITY STUDY OF CARBOPLATIN AND VINCRISTINE VERSUS SELUMETINIB (NSC# 748727, IND# 77782) IN NEWLY DIAGNOSED OR PREVIOUSLY UNTREATED LOW-GRADE GLIOMA (LGG) NOT ASSOCIATED WITH BRAFV600E MUTATIONS OR SYSTEMIC NEUROFIBROMATOSIS TYPE 1 (NF1)

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the first occurrence of clinical or radiographic disease progression, disease recurrence, second malignant neoplasm, or death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years ]
      Will estimate the hazard ratio based on a stratified Cox proportional hazards model and use Kaplan Meier (KM) methods to visualize and summarize the data.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Radiographic tumor response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
      Will summarize the radiologic response rates per arm and test for a difference between the 2 arms using an exact binomial test.

    2. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until death from any cause or until the time of last follow-up for patients who are alive at time of analysis ]
      Will also use the KM methods, log-rank tests, and Cox proportional hazards models to determine whether there is a difference in OS between the 2 arms.

    3. Proportion of patients who experience an improvement in visual acuity (VA) [ Time Frame: After first 12 months of treatment ]
      The vision-based analyses will be conducted both on a per-subject and per-eye basis. For the per subject analyses, will use an exact binomial test to compare the difference in the proportion of subjects in each arm that show improvement in VA after 12 months of treatment using a 1-sided test with 10% type 1 error. For the secondary per eye analyses, will use repeated measures approaches to account for within patient correlations. Will consider changes between baseline and 12-month time points for this analysis.

    4. Motor function assessment [ Time Frame: At baseline and after 48 weeks of therapy ]
      The Vineland scale will be used to assess motor and coordination deficits. Will compare the magnitudes of change from baseline between the 2 treatment arms and provide a 90% 2-sided confidence interval for this difference.

    5. Change in parent and patient-reported quality of life (QOL) over time [ Time Frame: Baseline and at 9 months after treatment initiation ]
      QOL will be measured via the validated PedsQL Generic Module (for children 2-21 years old). Primary analysis will be based on a 2-sample t-test comparing change in the QOL score between 9 months and baseline for the 2 arms, as planned. If the change scores are skewed or do not otherwise meet the t-test assumptions, non-parametric alternatives may be employed for analysis.


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. PedsQL Generic module [ Time Frame: At baseline, 9 months, and 30 months, and 60 months after treatment initiation ]
      For all measures, scores for each domain at each time point, as well as change in scores between time points, will be summarized and examined by descriptive statistics and appropriate plots.

    2. Neurocognitive function [ Time Frame: At baseline, 9 months, and 30 months, and 60 months after treatment initiation ]
      Assessed by Children's Oncology Group (COG) Standardized Neuropsychological & Behavioral Battery.

    3. Neurocognitive function [ Time Frame: At baseline, 9 months, and 30 months, and 60 months after treatment initiation ]
      Assessed by Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, Second Edition (BRIEF-2).

    TRIAL NUMBER: AALL1732

    Title: A Phase 3 Randomized Trial of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (NSC#: 772518) for Newly Diagnosed High-Risk B-ALL; Risk-Adapted Post-Induction Therapy for High-Risk B-ALL, Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia, and Disseminated B-LLy

    Purpose:

    This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, methotrexate, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, prednisone, thioguanine, vincristine, and pegaspargase 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. This trial will also study the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and disseminated B lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with high-risk ALL chemotherapy.

    The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first two phases of therapy: Induction and Consolidation. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, in order to classify patients into post-consolidation treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance I, delayed intensification, interim maintenance II, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. Other aims of this study include investigating whether treating both males and females with the same duration of chemotherapy maintains outcomes for males who have previously been treated for an additional year compared to girls, as well as to evaluate the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ANBL1531

    Title: ANBL1531, A Phase 3 Study of 131I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) or Crizotinib Added to Intensive Therapy for Children with Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma (NBL) (IND# 134379)

    Purpose: ANBL1531 is a COG group-wide Phase III study for patients between 1-30 years of age with neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma (nodular). In this study, researchers want to find out if we can improve the treatment for subjects with high-risk NBL by adding the experimental drug 131I-MIBG or the experimental drug crizotinib to COG recommended therapy. (Subjects are people who agree to take part in this study). 131I-MIBG is an experimental anticancer drug that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in treating high-risk NBL. 131I-MIBG has been used to treat NBL that did not respond to standard therapy or that has come back. 131I-MIBG has been shown to be well tolerated in children with cancer. Crizotinib is an experimental anticancer drug that has not been approved by the FDA for use in treating high-risk NBL. Crizotinib has been approved by the FDA for use in treating adults with certain types of lung cancer that has spread. Crizotinib has been welltolerated in children and adults with cancer. Crizotinib will only be used in subjects whose tumor shows changes (mutations or increased number of copies) in a gene called ALK. Changes in the ALK gene are only found in 10-15% of children with high-risk NBL. The overall goals of this study are to: • Compare the effects, good and/or bad, of the experimental drug 131I-MIBG added to current COG recommended therapy to the effects of current COG recommended therapy without the experimental drug 131I-MIBG. • Compare the effects, good and/or bad, of the experimental drug crizotinib added to current COG recommended therapy to the effects of current COG recommended therapy without the experimental drug crizotinib. Another goal of this study is to: • Evaluate the effects, good and/or bad, of using the experimental drug 131I-MIBG and reducing the number of stem cell transplants from 2 to 1 by giving the drugs BuMel during Consolidation therapy. The goal for subjects in Arm D of this study is: • To see if subjects with a tumor that is 123I-MIBG non-avid and does not have changes in the ALK gene have better outcomes than those with 123I-MIBG avid NBL when treated with COG recommended therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma. An 123I-MIBG avid tumor means that the tumor took up 123I-MIBG during a scan. An 123IMIBG non-avid tumor means that the tumor did not take up 123I-MIBG during a scan. The goal for subjects in Arm E of this study is: • To see if subjects with a tumor that shows changes in the ALK gene will have improved outcomes when the experimental drug crizotinib is added to COG recommended therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma. Each subject on the ANBL1531 study will have genetic tests done on his/her tumor tissue. The tumor tissue will be tested for changes to a gene called ALK. The experimental drug crizotinib may be effective against tumors with ALK gene changes.

    TRIAL NUMBER: APEC14B1

    Title: Project: Every Child for Younger Patients With Cancer

    Purpose: This research trial studies the Project: Every Child for younger patients with cancer. Gathering health information over time from younger patients with cancer may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.

    TRIAL NUMBER: 9442/4941L

    Title: National Wilms Tumor Late Effects Study

    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to learn more about the possible causes of Wilms tumor and the effects of successful treatment for Wilms tumor, and to serve as a resource for Wilms tumor patients and their families.  Information will be collected from participants in order to determine if they or their offspring are at risk for adverse medical conditions. If there is more than one case of Wilms tumor in a given family,  geneticists working on this protocol will attempt to estimate heritability and recurrence risks to better understand the possible long-term effects of treatment for Wilms tumor. The information from this study will be collected and stored in a large computer database at the National Wilms Tumor Data and Statistical Center (NWTS).

      Evaluated according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Toxicity tables will be constructed to summarize the observed incidence by type of toxicity and grade. For a given reporting period, a patient will be counted only once for a given toxicity for the worst grade of that toxicity reported for that patient.

    3. Level of minimal residual disease (MRD) assessed in bone marrow by flow cytometry (Cohort 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 cycles ]
      MRD negativity rates (< 0.01% detectable leukemia cells) will be estimated.

    4. Incidence of adverse events of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) of liver (Cohort 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year from last dose of Inotuzumab ozogamicin ]
      Evaluated according to NCI CTCAE version 5.0. The incidence of SOS of the liver in patients during inotuzumab ozogamicin therapy and following subsequent treatment including myeloablative hematopoietic cell transplantation (HSCT) will be described.

    5. Event free survival (EFS) (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: From study entry to first event (induction failure, induction death, relapse, second malignancy, remission death), or date of last follow-up for event free subjects, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Standard errors and confidence intervals for EFS will be calculated using Peto's method.

    6. Overall survival (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: From the time from study entry to death or date of last follow-up, assessed up to 3 years ]
      OS will be estimated using Kaplan Meier approach.

    7. Duration of CR, CRi (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
      Among responding patients, three-year complete continuous response will also be estimated using duration of CR/CRi for the overall responding group and stratified by whether or not the patients proceed to HSCT.

    8. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, i.e., inotuzumab ozogamicin trough levels (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: Cycles 1 and 2 (each cycle is 28 days) ]
      Inotuzumab ozogamicin trough levels (ng/mL) will be determined in serum by validated, high sensitivity liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) assays. Descriptive summary statistics will be provided for the trough levels at scheduled visits for Cycles 1 and 2.

    9. Immunogenicity (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: Cycles 1 and 2 ]
      Enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) and cell-based assays will be used to detect anti-drug antibodies and neutralizing antibodies to inotuzumab ozogamicin in serum. Inotuzumab ozogamicin trough levels will be compared between patients with and without antibodies.

    10. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities at the selected dose level of inotuzumab ozogamicin in combination with the augmented modified Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster (mBFM) consolidation chemotherapy (Cohort 2) [ Time Frame: Up to cycle 1 (each cycle is 36 days) ]
      Evaluated according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Toxicity tables will be constructed to summarize the observed incidence by type of toxicity and grade. For a given reporting period, a patient will be counted only once for a given toxicity for the worst grade of that toxicity reported for that patient.


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. Changes in CD22 surface expression (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Baseline, post Cycle 1, and at time of relapse ]
      Exploratory analysis of CD22 will focus primarily on the comparison of paired pre-treatment and post-treatment samples at the following times, 1) End of cycle 1 and 2) at relapse to evaluate for changes in CD22 expression pre and post-inotuzumab ozogamicin. Specifically, samples will be evaluated for change in CD22 expression that occurs over time to study the role of CD22 expression as it relates to resistance to therapy or mechanism for relapse. Correlation between changes in CD22 expression and patient's clinical response to inotuzumab ozogamicin as well as cytogenetic/molecular features will be described, in particular to explore the association of CD22-negative subpopulations in patients with KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

    2. Change in CD22 site density (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Baseline, post Cycle 1, and at time of relapse ]
      Exploratory analysis of CD22 will focus primarily on the comparison of paired pre-treatment and post-treatment samples at the following times, 1) End of cycle 1 and 2) at relapse to evaluate for changes in CD22 site density pre and post-inotuzumab ozogamicin. Samples will be evaluated for any change in CD22 site density that occurs over time and to evaluate for the emergence of a CD22 "dim" or "negative" population to study the role of CD22 site density as it relates to resistance to therapy or mechanism for relapse. Correlation between changes in CD22 site density and patient's clinical response to inotuzumab ozogamicin as well as cytogenetic/molecular features will be described, in particular to explore the association of CD22-negative subpopulations in patients with KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

    3. Leukemic blast CD22 splice variants (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Baseline, post-Cycle 1, and at time of relapse ]
      Will be analyzed by ribonucleic acid-sequencing (RNA-Seq). The MAJIQ and VOILA software will be used to identify splicing variations in CD22 from RNA Seq and to quantitate the percent spliced in (PSI) of the alternative exons. CD22 protein levels will be determined by immunoblotting of whole cell protein lysates using several anti-CD22 antibodies recognizing either extracellular or intracellular domains. Both protein sizes and preservation of individual epitopes will be assessed and correlated with alterations in exon inclusion.

    4. Intracellular signaling pathways in leukemic blasts treated with inotuzumab ozogamicin (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 5 years ]
      Peripheral blood samples will be evaluated by comprehensive protein profiling using CyTOF panels for the two major areas of analyses, surface immunophenotyping to assess the developmental stage of both normal and abnormal B cells and measure their responses to inotuzumab ozogamicin , as well as intracellular epitopes to assess the cellular consequences of treatment with inotuzumab ozogamicin. Exploratory analysis will be performed using Cytobank software tools (viSNE, SPADE and CITRUS) for subpopulations clustering, dimensionality reduction and hierarchical organization.

    5. Changes in peripheral blood absolute B cell numbers and maturation of developing B cell populations with inotuzumab ozogamicin therapy (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 5 years ]
      Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize patterns of B-cell development including selective loss of subsets. Changes in B cell number and subsets will be described, and exploratory analysis will be conducted to assess their correlation with clinical features including immunoglobulin levels, occurrence of infections, and need for intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) replacement during inotuzumab ozogamicin therapy.

    6. Level of MRD by next-generation high-throughput sequencing (HTS) techniques (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 cycles ]
      Compared to MRD measured by flow cytometry. MRD levels at each bone marrow evaluation time point will be measured by standard flow cytometry (MRD-negative defined as < 0.01% or 1 leukemic cell in 10-4 nucleated cells). At the end of cycles 1 and 2, MRD will also be assessed by HTS. The correlation between the measurements with each technique will be described and the sensitivity of flow-based MRD methodology in the setting of CD22-targeted therapy will be explored.

    7. Serum levels of candidate SOS biomarkers Ang2 and L ficolin (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months from last dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin ]
      Correlated with clinical development of SOS. Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize clinical features of patients experiencing SOS. L-ficolin and Ang2 absolute levels and change in level over time with inotuzumab ozogamicin exposure will be evaluated and correlated with development of SOS. Biomarker levels will be compared using simple comparative statistics between subgroups.

    8. Incidence of SOS in patients who receive prophylaxis with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) during inotuzumab ozogamicin therapy (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months from last dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin ]
      Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize clinical features of patients experiencing SOS, potential clinical risk factors, and the impact of ursodeoxycholic acid prophylaxis.

    9. Interaction between CAR- T therapy and inotuzumab ozogamicin (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Will be evaluated by incidence of hematologic DLT in patients with CAR-T therapy prior to inotuzumab ozogamicin, incidence of post-inotuzumab ozogamicin CAR-T therapy, time to CAR-T therapy after inotuzumab ozogamicin, and B-cell recovery prior to CAR-T therapy after inotuzumab ozogamicin. Will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

    10. Morphologic response (CR/CRi) (Cohort 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 cycles (each cycle is 36 days) ]
      Will be estimated using the proportion of eligible/evaluable patients with CR/CRi response. Analysis will be mostly descriptive.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AALL1821

    Title: A Phase 2 Study of Blinatumomab (NSC# 765986) in Combination With Nivolumab (NSC # 748726), a Checkpoint Inhibitor of PD-1, in B-ALL Patients Aged ? 1 to < 31 Years Old With First Relapse

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab compared to blinatumomab alone in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back (relapsed). Down syndrome patients with relapsed B-ALL are included in this study. Blinatumomab is an antibody, which is a protein that identifies and targets specific molecules in the body. Blinatumomab searches for and attaches itself to the cancer cell. Once attached, an immune response occurs which may kill the cancer cell. Nivolumab is a medicine that may boost a patient's immune system. Giving nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab may cause the cancer to stop growing for a period of time, and for some patients, it may lessen the symptoms, such as pain, that are caused by the cancer.

    Title: A Phase 2 Study of Blinatumomab in Combination With Chemotherapy for Infants With Newly Diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia With Randomization of KMT2A-Rearranged Patients to Addition of Venetoclax

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests the addition of venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to usual chemotherapy for treating infants with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with a KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-rearranged [R]) or without a KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-germline [G]). Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Blinatumomab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs 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. Adding venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to standard chemotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with ALL than standard chemotherapy alone, but it may also cause more side effects. This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of adding venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to chemotherapy for the treatment of infants with KMT2A-R or KMT2A-G ALL.

    Title: A Randomized Trial of Levocarnitine Prophylaxis to Prevent Asparaginase-Associated Hepatotoxicity in Adolescents and Young Adults Receiving Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Therapy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding levocarnitine to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in protecting the liver in patients with leukemia and lymphoma. Standard of care chemotherapy treatment for leukemia and lymphoma includes a type of chemotherapy named asparaginase, given either as the drug pegaspargase, or a similar drug, calaspargase pegol. This type of chemotherapy can cause severe liver damage. Levocarnitine is a drug used to provide extra carnitine, a naturally occurring nutrient that is part of a typical diet and is also made by the body. Carnitine is important to keep the liver healthy and may be able to prevent damage to the liver from chemotherapy and other drugs. Taking levocarnitine may reduce the rate of severe liver damage caused by asparaginase chemotherapy in patients with leukemia and lymphoma.

    Title: A Phase 3 Randomized Trial for Patients with de novo AML Comparing Standard Therapy Including Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (GO) to CPX-351 with GO, and the Addition of the FLT3 Inhibitor Gilteritinib for Patients with FLT3 Mutations

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
      The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate 3-year EFS, defined as the time from study entry until induction failure, relapse, secondary malignancy, or death.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
      The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate 3-year OS, defined as the time from study entry until death.

    2. Proportion of patients positive for minimal residual disease (MRD+) [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ]
      The proportion of patients MRD+ at end of induction 1 (EOI1) will be estimated as the number of patients MRD+ divided by the number of patients with evaluable EOI1 MRD results along with a corresponding 95% confidence interval determined using a binomial exact method.

    3. Proportion of patients who died during protocol therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]

    3. Time to count recovery [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
      Cumulative incidence estimates that account for competing events will be used to estimate time to count recovery in days where deaths are competing events.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ARAR2331

    Title: Prospective Treatment of Types I, II and III Pleuropulmonary Blastoma (PPB)

    Purpose:

    This phase III trial tests how well surgery plus chemotherapy compared to surgery alone works in treating patients with type I pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), and tests how well surgery plus standard chemotherapy with the addition of topotecan works compared to surgery plus standard chemotherapy alone in treating patients with type II and III PPB.

    Historically, most children with type I PPB had surgery and approximately 40% of children with type I PPB received chemotherapy following their surgery, usually for 22-42 weeks. There has not been a consistent standard for which children with type I PPB receive chemotherapy after surgery. For patients whose tumor has been removed completely with surgery, observation without chemotherapy may work as well as giving chemotherapy after surgery in preventing a return of the PPB tumor.

    The standard chemotherapy for patients with types II or III PPB in the United States is four cycles of IVADo (ifosfamide, vincristine, dactinomycin, and doxorubicin) followed by 8 cycles of IVA (ifosfamide, vincristine and dactinomycin). Ifosfamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of tumor cells in the body. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Dactinomycin is a type of antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy (antineoplastic antibiotic). It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. Doxorubicin damages the cell's DNA and may kill tumor cells. It also blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair. Topotecan is in a class of medications called topoisomerase I inhibitors. It works by interfering with tumor cell DNA which kills them. Giving topotecan in addition to standard IVADo and IVA chemotherapy regimens may shrink the cancer as well as or better than the standard therapy or could decrease the chance the tumor spreads while causing fewer side effects.

    Title: A Randomized Phase 3 Interim Response Adapted Trial Comparing Standard Therapy With Immuno-Oncology Therapy for Children and Adults With Newly Diagnosed Stage I and II Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding immunotherapy (brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab) to standard treatment (chemotherapy with or without radiation) to the standard treatment alone in improving survival in patients with stage I and II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is made of a monoclonal antibody called brentuximab that is linked to a cytotoxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive lymphoma cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, dacarbazine, and procarbazine hydrochloride 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. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding immunotherapy to the standard treatment of chemotherapy with or without radiation may increase survival and/or fewer short-term or long-term side effects in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma compared to the standard treatment alone.

    Title: Phase 3 Accelerated BEP Trial: A randomised phase 3 trial of accelerated versus standard BEP chemotherapy for patients with intermediate and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours

    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether accelerated BEP chemotherapy is more effective than standard BEP chemotherapy in males 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 rates and were more toxic than BEP. New strategies are needed for patients with intermediate and poor-risk disease. BEP is accelerated by cycling Cisplatin and etoposide 2-weekly instead of 3-weekly. The Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group (ANZUP) is conducting a trial comparing accelerated BEP with standard BEP. The aim of this study is to determine if accelerated BEP is superior to standard BEP as first-line chemotherapy for intermediate and poor risk metastatic GCTs.

    Title: A PHASE 3 STUDY OF ACTIVE SURVEILLANCE FOR LOW RISK AND A RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF CARBOPLATIN VS. CISPLATIN FOR STANDARD RISK PEDIATRIC AND ADULT PATIENTS WITH GERM CELL TUMORS

    Purpose: Primary Outcome Measures:
    EFS [ Time Frame: The time from study entry to the date of death, date of disease progression or recurrence, date of second malignant neoplasm or date of last contact and ascertained as alive, whichever comes first, assessed up to 5 years ] Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: The time from randomization to date of date of death or date of last follow-up and ascertained as alive, assessed up to 8 years ] A 1-sided lower 85% confidence limit for the 2-year survival will be constructed, and if this confidence limit is greater than 0.95, it will be concluded that the strategy provides sufficient OS.

    Secondary Outcome Measures:
    Content validity and understandability of AYA-Hearing Screen assessed by questionnaire [ Time Frame: Baseline ] Incidence of ototoxicity [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after the last dose of platin therapy ] Will compare the proportion of patients who demonstrate hearing loss according to the International Society of Pediatric Oncology criteria.
    Novel genetic variants associated with an increased risk of platinum-associated ototoxicity as determined by standard audiology [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] For each candidate gene, will perform an exact two-sided test for the equality of binomial proportions for the event - patient has the candidate gene. The two groups compared will be defined by the presence of SHL. Will use the Bonferroni correction to control experiment-wise error and designate the result as significant if the observed p-value is less than or equal to 0.0025.
    Utility of the 4-miRNA panel as markers diagnostic of MGCTs [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will use categorical data methods and estimate the probability of demonstrating an elevated miRNA value as the proportion of patients who have the particular miRNA elevated.
    Utility of the 4-miRNA panel as markers diagnostic of MGCTs [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will compare the diagnostic sensitivity of serum markers, particularly elevated alpha-fetoprotein, to that of elevated microRNA for each of the microRNAs, as well as the characteristic any microRNA elevated. Will perform McNemar's test. The result for each serum evaluation (elevated or not elevated) for each sample on which both serum marker and microRNA evaluation are obtained will be cross tabulated and the p-value associated with McNemar's test calculated. A p-value of 0.05 or less will be considered evidence of differential sensitivity.

    Other Outcome Measures:
    Activation of protein signaling pathway [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will assess the relationship between pathway activation, including EGFR, MAP Kinase and P3K and risk for disease progression. Tumor materials will be evaluated for the activation of specific pathways, including the three mentioned above. The effect of pathway activation, coded as yes vs. no, on the cause-specific hazard of EFS component disease progression will be estimated by relative risk regression considering other EFS events as censoring events. Will use the Benjamini and Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate.
    Binomial data [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will use repeated measures binomial data as the initial approach to investigating this exploratory aim. Each biomarker will be examined individually. The predictor variables will be the measured value of particular novel biomarker and randomized treatment regimen. The response variable will be the occurrence of grade 3 or higher nephrotoxicity during the next treatment cycle. Will use logistic regression with a shared random frailty for outcomes for the same individual, when the subject's biomarkers are evaluated more than once during protocol therapy and the particular toxicity type is revers
    Incidence of kidney dysfunction [ Time Frame: 12-16 weeks after the last dose of platin therapy ] Two patient characteristics will be used to measure kidney dysfunction: (1) the presence of Grade 1 or greater elevation of serum creatinine; and a second measure that is more sensitive for damage to the renal endothelium (2) albuminuria.
    Incidence of self-reported peripheral neuropathy assessed by the 11-item Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity scale [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ] Will compare the characteristics obtained at the start of chemotherapy of patients from the relevant groups who contribute to the patient reported outcome analyses with those who do not to investigate whether the measured group may not be representative of the study population. Will also conduct other sensitivity analysis as appropriate to assess the effects of missing data on the analysis for this aim.
    Incidence of self-reported peripheral neuropathy assessed by the 11-item Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity scale [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ] Will compare self-reported peripheral neuropathy and other patient-reported outcomes between children, adolescents and young adults with standard risk germ cell tumors treated with carboplatin-based chemotherapy as compared to cisplatin based chemotherapy.
    Prognostic effects of the marker defined by microRNA signature present or high values of alpha-fetoprotein or beta-HCG [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed using a proportional approach. EFS from time of enrollment will be used for markers that are obtained at enrollment. EFS post complete evaluation of marker decline will be used for markers where the characteristic is the change in a putative marker.
    Prognostic significance of the 4-miRNA panel [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed using time-dependent covariate analysis.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ALTE05N1

    Title: Umbrella Long-Term Follow-Up Protocol

    Purpose: OBJECTIVES:
    To develop a mechanism for tracking and retaining patients enrolled on COG protocols. To maintain regular, lifetime contact with patients in order to obtain current identification and contact information, and self/parent-reported health status. To locate patients who are lost-to-follow-up for COG (or Legacy Group) protocols targeted for follow-up by the Long-Term Follow-Up Center (LTFC). To provide current patient contact information and self/parent-reported health status updates to the COG Statistics and Data Center (SDC) and to each patient's COG institution. To facilitate collection of protocol-specific outcome data through collaboration with the COG Late Effects Committee, the SDC, and the member institutions. To collect cumulative therapeutic exposure data (via therapeutic summaries completed online by treating institutions) on patients completing active therapy. OUTLINE: This is an umbrella protocol for all long-term follow-up at COG institutions. Approximately 6 months after completion of therapy patients receive a mailed packet introducing the Long-Term Follow-Up Center (LTFC) and containing information related to their individualized, protocol-specific follow-up guidelines. Patients are asked to complete a patient response form, verify information provided in packet, update contact information, and complete a Health Status Update Form. The Health Status Update Form is a brief document including questions about current health status, disease status, and cancer therapy received since the last mailing. Patients receive protocol-specific automatic reminders, and may respond by use of postage prepaid envelopes, email, or 24-hour toll-free telephone.

    Title: Phase 2 Study of Tovorafenib (DAY101) in Relapsed and Refractory Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and activity of tovorafenib (DAY101) in treating patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), has come back (relapsed) after previous treatment, or does not respond to therapy (refractory). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of disease that occurs when the body makes too many immature Langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell). When these cells build up, they can form tumors in certain tissues and organs including bones, skin, lungs and pituitary gland and can damage them. This tumor is more common in children and young adults. DAY101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Using DAY101 may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ARST2032

    Title: A Prospective Phase 3 Study of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Very Low-Risk and Low-Risk Fusion Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of vincristine and dactinomycin (VA) vs vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide (VAC) in treating patients with very low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (VLR-RMS) and examines the use of centralized molecular risk stratification in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma. Another aim of the study it to find out how well patients with low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (LR-RMS) respond to standard chemotherapy when patients with VLR-RMS and patients who have rhabdomyosarcoma with DNA mutations get separate treatment. Finally, this study compares the effects of giving chemotherapy drugs for longer amount of time to people who have RMS cancer with DNA mutations to find out which is better. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues of the body. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Dactinomycin is a type of antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy (antineoplastic antibiotic). It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Giving vincristine and dactinomycin for a shorter period of time may be more beneficial than giving vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide for longer period in patients with VLR-RMS.


    TRIAL NUMBER: ARAR2221

    Title: A Phase 2 Study Using Chemoimmunotherapy With Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Nivolumab in Newly Diagnosed Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests effects of nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy drugs prior to radiation therapy patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Researchers want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, adding nivolumab to chemotherapy has on patients with newly diagnosed NPC. In addition, they want to find out if children with NPC may be treated with less radiation therapy and whether this decreases the side effects of therapy.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ANBL2131

    Title: A Phase 3 Study of Dinutuximab Added to Intensive Multimodal Therapy for Children With Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma

    Purpose: 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.

    Title: Walking Juntos: Developing and Testing a Culturally-Tailored Mobile Health and Social Media Physical Activity Intervention Among Adolescent and Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

    Purpose: This clinical trial tests the impact of a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program on physical fitness in Hispanic or Latino/Latina adolescent and young adult (AYA) childhood cancer survivors. After treatment for cancer, some AYA survivors experience long-term effects from the cancer and its treatment including weight gain, fatigue and decreased physical fitness. Hispanic or Latino/Latina survivors may have a higher risk of these effects compared to non-Hispanics. Regular physical activity helps maintain healthy weight, energy levels and overall health. Participating in a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program may help increase physical activity in Hispanic or Latino/Latina AYA childhood cancer survivors.

    Title: Risk Adapted Treatment of Unilateral Favorable Histology Wilms Tumors (FHWT)

    Purpose: This phase III trial studies using risk factors in determining treatment for children with favorable tissue (histology) Wilms tumors (FHWT). Wilms Tumor is the most common type of kidney cancer in children, and FHWT is the most common subtype. Previous large clinical trials have established treatment plans that are likely to cure most children with FHWT, however some children still have their cancer come back (called relapse) and not all survive. Previous research has identified features of FHWT that are associated with higher or lower risks of relapse. The term "risk" refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Using results of tumor histology tests, biology tests, and response to therapy may be able to improve treatment for children with FHWT.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AREN1921

    Title: Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Anaplastic Wilms Tumors (DAWT) and Relapsed Favorable Histology Wilms Tumors (FHWT)

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: From study entry to the earliest of relapse or disease progression, second malignant neoplasm, or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after study enrollment ]
      For Strata 1-3, the primary analysis of EFS will consist of a one-sample, one-sided log rank test versus a historical control cohort (or representative distribution) with stratum-specific type I error levels. For Stratum 4, the primary analysis of EFS is descriptive, but with a desired level of precision to estimate 4-year EFS at the time of the final analysis (2 years after the last patient enrolls).


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From study entry to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years after study enrollment ]
      For each stratum, OS will be estimated at the same time as the conclusive (interim or final) analysis and reported descriptively with 95% pointwise confidence bands.


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. Incidence of grade 3-5 renal toxicity [ Time Frame: Up to 30 weeks on average for Stratum 4 only ]
      Incidence of grade 3-5 renal toxicity during protocol therapy will be monitored for Stratum 4 as part of a prospective safety monitoring plan. At the time of final study analysis, renal toxicity will be described by factors including age, relapse risk group, and timing and association (descriptive) with the exploratory renal toxicity biomarkers.

    2. Collection of blood and urine samples [ Time Frame: Up to 42 weeks on average for Strata 1-3 and up to 30 weeks on average for Stratum 4 ]
      For all Strata 1-4, serial blood and urine samples will be collected (during protocol therapy, at the end of protocol therapy, and at first relapse) and banked for future analysis such as evaluation of minimal residual disease by assessing levels of circulating tumor-derived deoxyribonucleic acid.

    3. p53 biomarker analysis [ Time Frame: Based on tissue collected at diagnosis (Strata 1 and 2 only), with outcomes collected up to 5 years after study entry ]
      For patients with diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors (DAWT) (Strata 1 and 2), p53 from diagnostic tissue will be assessed, and rates of p53 mutations described overall and within each stratum. Degree of anaplasia as a predictor of p53 mutation status will be analyzed in logistic regression models, and association of p53 status with EFS and OS will be analyzed in Cox regression models, stratified by disease stage. Possible interactions between p53 mutation status and degree of anaplasia in outcome models will be explored.

    4. EFS for patients with gross total disease resection [ Time Frame: From study entry to the earliest of relapse or disease progression, second malignant neoplasm, or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after study enrollment ]
      EFS will be described for newly diagnosed disease stage 2-4 DAWT patients (Strata 1 and 2) and relapsed favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) patients (Strata 3 and 4) who have gross total disease resection prior to enrollment or at the time of delayed nephrectomy following adjuvant chemotherapy. Kaplan-Meier curves will be reported by strata with 95% confidence bands. Potential prognostic factors for these patients will be explored in Cox regression models.

    5. OS for patients with gross total disease resection [ Time Frame: From study entry to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years after study entry ]
      OS will be described for newly diagnosed disease stage 2-4 DAWT patients (Strata 1 and 2) and relapsed FHWT patients (Strata 3 and 4) who have gross total disease resection prior to enrollment or at the time of delayed nephrectomy following adjuvant chemotherapy. Kaplan-Meier curves will be reported by strata with 95% confidence bands. Potential prognostic factors for these patients will be explored in Cox regression models.

    6. Association of the number of nodes examined with EFS and OS [ Time Frame: Nodal information from upfront or delayed nephrectomy, with outcomes collected for up to 5 years after study entry ]
      The number of lymph nodes examined at the time of primary nephrectomy and number of positive nodes will be collected for all DAWT patients who enroll to Strata 1 or 2. The association of the number of nodes examined with EFS and OS will be explored in Cox regression models stratified by disease stage. For each of these analyses, association will be expressed either as a single hazard ratio if the effect is found to be linear, or as continuous functions on the hazard ratio scale if the effect is found to be non-linear. Similar models will be fit to examine the association between ratio of positive nodes to nodes examined and outcomes. Confidence intervals or bands will be reported for all quantities.

    Title: A Randomized Phase III Trial of Intravesical BCG veRsus Intravesical Docetaxel and GEmcitabine Treatment in BCG Naïve High Grade Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (BRIDGE)

    Purpose: The study hypothesis is that BCG naïve non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients treated with intravesical Gemcitabine + Docetaxel (GEMDOCE) will result in a non-inferior event-free survival (EFS) compared to standard treatment with intravesical BCG. The purpose of this study is to test whether Gemcitabine + Docetaxel is a better or worse treatment than the usual BCG therapy approach. The primary objective of this study is to determine the event free survival (EFS) of BCG-naïve high grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients treated with intravesical BCG vs Gemcitabine + Docetaxel. Secondary objectives are as follows: to compare changes in cancer-specific and bladder cancer-specific QOL from baseline to treatment between BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients receiving BCG and GEMDOCE, to determine the cystectomy free survival (CFS) of BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE, to determine the progression free survival (PFS) of BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE, and to determine the safety and toxicity of BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE.

    Title: The Phase III Adaptive Radiation and Chemotherapy for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Trial (ARCHER)

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of shorter term radiation (ultra-hypofractionated) therapy to the usual radiation therapy (hypofractionation) with standard of care chemotherapy, with cisplatin, gemcitabine or mitomycin and 5-fluorouracil for the treatment of patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Ultra-hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers radiation over an even shorter period of time than hypofractionated radiation therapy. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as mitomycin-C and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ultra-hypofractionated radiation may be equally effective as hypofractionated therapy for patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer.

    Title: Genomically-Guided Treatment Trial in Brain Metastases

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Objective response rate in the brain [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Assessed per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for brain metastases. The response rate is defined as the number of patients who have achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RANO for brain metastases criteria during treatment with CDK, PI3K, or NTRK/ROS inhibitors divided by total number of evaluable patients. The response rate and associated exact confidence interval will be estimated within each cohort defined by the targeted agent and histology.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Systemic response for extracranial disease [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Assessed with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. Will be estimated using the systemic response rate (SRR) - where SRR is defined as the number of evaluable patients achieving a response (PR or CR per RECIST 1.1) during treatment with study therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for systemic response rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.

    2. Clinical benefit rate for central nervous system (CNS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Evaluated by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria. Will be estimated as the number of evaluable patients achieving stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) as their best objective response during treatment with protocol therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for clinical benefit rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.

    3. Clinical benefit rate for extracranial disease [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Will be estimated as the number of evaluable patients achieving stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) as their best objective response (per RECIST for extracranial disease) during treatment with protocol therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for clinical benefit rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.

    4. Duration of response for brain metastases [ Time Frame: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR for brain metastases until the first date that progressive CNS disease or death is documented, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Duration of response for brain metastases is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved a confirmed response as the time from the date at which the patient's objective status for brain metastases is first noted to be a CR or PR (per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology [RANO] for brain metastases) to the date of the earliest progressive CNS disease is documented or death. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    5. Duration of response for extracranial disease [ Time Frame: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR for extracranial disease until the first date that progressive disease for extracranial disease or death is documented, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Duration of response for extracranial disease is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved a confirmed response as the time from the date at which the patient's objective status for extranial disease is first noted to be a CR or PR (per RECIST1.1) to the date of the earliest progression (PD) for extracranial disease is documented or death. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    6. Progression-free survival (PFS) - intracranial [ Time Frame: From first day of study treatment to the earliest date documentation of intracranial disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Intracranial PFS is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of intracranial disease progression (per RANO for brain metastases) or death from any cause, whichever comes first. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    7. Progression-free survival (PFS) - extracranial [ Time Frame: From the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of documentation of extracranial disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Extracranial PFS is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of extracranial disease progression (per RECIST1.1) or death from any cause, whichever comes first. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    8. Site of first progression [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]
      The site of first progression will be estimated descriptively within each cohort within 12 and 24 months after starting protocol treatment. The first progression is defined as the first documented central nervous system (CNS) progression per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) or extracranial progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), whichever occurs first. The percentage of extracranial progression at first progression within 12 and 24 months after starting protocol treatment will be estimated as number of patients who experience the first progression which is extracranial progression divided by number of patients who are still at risk up to 12 and 24 months, respectively.

    9. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From the first day of study treatment to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Overall survival is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to death due to any cause. The median and 95% confidence intervals are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    10. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Assessed per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, toxicity is defined as adverse events that are classified as possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment. Toxicities will be evaluated via the ordinal CTCAE standard toxicity grading. Overall toxicity incidence as well as toxicity profiles by patient and treatment cohort will be explored and summarized. Frequency distributions, graphical techniques and other descriptive measures will form the basis of the analysis. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    Title: A Phase II Randomized Trial of Proton Vs. Photon Therapy (IMRT) for Cognitive Preservation in Patients With IDH Mutant, Low to Intermediate Grade Gliomas

    Purpose: This randomized phase II clinical trial studies the side effects and how well proton beam or intensity-modulated radiation therapy works in preserving brain function in patients with IDH mutant grade II or III glioma. Proton beam radiation therapy uses tiny charged particles to deliver radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Intensity-modulated or photon beam radiation therapy uses high-energy x-ray beams shaped to treat the tumor and may also cause less damage to normal tissue. Patients will be more likely to be randomized to proton beam radiation therapy. It is not yet known if proton beam radiation therapy is more effective than photon-based beam intensity-modulated radiation therapy in treating patients with glioma.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A012103

    Title: OptimICE-PCR: De-Escalation of Therapy in Early-Stage TNBC Patients Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

    Purpose: The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic 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 in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EAQ221CD

    Title: Improving Medication Adherence in Metastatic Breast Cancer Using a Connected Customized Treatment Platform (CONCURxP)

    Purpose: This clinical trial compares the use of the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP), consisting of using a medication monitoring device called WiseBag along with text message reminders for missed or extra medication events, to enhanced usual care (EUC), where patients only use the Wisebag, to monitor medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor. 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 medication non adherence. 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.

    Title: A Phase III Adjuvant Trial Evaluating the Addition of Adjuvant Chemotherapy to Ovarian Function Suppression Plus Endocrine Therapy in Premenopausal Patients With pN0-1, ER-Positive/HER2-Negative Breast Cancer and an Oncotype Recurrence Score Less Than or Equal to 25 (OFSET)

    Purpose: This Phase III Trial will determine whether adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) added to ovarian function suppression (OFS) plus endocrine therapy (ET) is superior to OFS plus ET in improving invasive breast cancer-free survival (IBCFS) among premenopausal, early- stage breast cancer (EBC) patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative tumors and 21-gene recurrence score (RS) between 16-25 (for pN0 patients) and 0-25 (for pN1 patients).

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-CC015

    Title: Harnessing E-Mindfulness Approaches for Living After Breast Cancer-HEAL-ABC

    Purpose: NRG-CC015 is a prospective, randomized phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of two distinct digital approaches for delivering a mindfulness-based intervention: a live, instructor-led version delivered over Zoom (MAPs LO), and an app-based, self-paced version (MAPs App). Participants will include younger breast cancer survivors (BCS) who were diagnosed with breast cancer at or before age 50 years, have completed their primary cancer treatment (i.e., surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy) at least 6 months earlier, and report elevated depressive symptoms.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1703

    Title: S1703; Randomized Non-Inferiority Trial Comparing Overall Survival of Patients Monitored with Serum Tumor Marker Directed Disease Monitoring (STMDDM) versus Usual Care in Patients with Metastatic Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer

    Purpose: To assess whether patients with HER-2 negative, hormone receptor positive, metastatic breast cancer who are monitored with serum tumor marker directed disease monitoring (STMDDM) have non-inferior overall survival compared to patients monitored with usual care.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2206

    Title: Phase III Trial of Neoadjuvant Durvalumab (NSC 778709) Plus Chemotherapy Versus Chemotherapy Alone for MammaPrint Ultrahigh (MP2) Hormone Receptor (HR) Positive / Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER2) Negative Stage II-III Breast Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the addition of an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to usual chemotherapy versus usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with MammaPrint Ultrahigh (MP2) stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. There is some evidence from previous clinical trials that people who have a MammaPrint Ultrahigh Risk result may be more likely to respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Adding durvalumab to usual chemotherapy may be able to prevent the cancer from returning for patients with MP2 stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2212

    Title: Shorter Anthracycline-Free Chemo Immunotherapy Adapted to Pathological Response in Early Triple Negative Breast Cancer (SCARLET), A Randomized Phase III Study

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effects of shorter chemotherapy (chemo)-immunotherapy without anthracyclines to usual chemo-immunotherapy for the treatment of early-stage triple negative breast cancer. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called anti-microtubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Doxorubicin is an anthracycline chemotherapy drug that damages DNA and may kill cancer cells. Pembrolizumab may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Shorter treatment without anthracycline chemotherapy may work the same as the usual anthracycline chemotherapy treatment for early-stage triple negative breast cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A051901

    Title: Phase I Trial of Methotrexate, Rituximab, Lenalidomide, and Nivolumab (Nivo-MR2) Induction Followed by Lenalidomide and Nivolumab Maintenance in Primary CNS Lymphoma

    Purpose: This phase I trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of lenalidomide when added to nivolumab and the usual drugs (rituximab and methotrexate) in patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. Lenalidomide may stop or slow primary CNS lymphoma by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Methotrexate is frequently combined with other chemotherapy agents to improve response. This study may help increase the understanding of lenalidomide and nivolumab use in primary CNS lymphoma treatment. In addition, it may help researchers see whether the control of CNS lymphoma can be extended by using these study drugs as maintenance (prolonged therapy) after control is achieved with the initial chemotherapy regimen (induction).

    TRIAL NUMBER: ACNS2021

    Title: A Phase 2 Trial of Chemotherapy Followed by Response-Based Whole Ventricular &Amp; Spinal Canal Irradiation (WVSCI) for Patients With Localized Non-Germinomatous Central Nervous System Germ Cell Tumor

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies the best approach to combine chemotherapy and radiation therapy (RT) based on the patient's response to induction chemotherapy in patients with non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT) that have not spread to other parts of the brain or body (localized). This study has 2 goals: 1) optimizing radiation for patients who respond well to induction chemotherapy to diminish spinal cord relapses, 2) utilizing higher dose chemotherapy followed by conventional RT in patients who did not respond to induction chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide, and thiotepa, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays or high-energy protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Studies have shown that patients with newly-diagnosed localized NGGCT, whose disease responds well to chemotherapy before receiving radiation therapy, are more likely to be free of the disease for a longer time than are patients for whom the chemotherapy does not efficiently eliminate or reduce the size of the tumor. The purpose of this study is to see how well the tumors respond to induction chemotherapy to decide what treatment to give next. Some patients will be given RT to the spine and a portion of the brain. Others will be given high dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant before RT to the whole brain and spine. Giving treatment based on the response to induction chemotherapy may lower the side effects of radiation in some patients and adjust the therapy to a more efficient one for other patients with localized NGGCT.

    TRIAL NUMBER: DCP-001

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2417CD

    Title: A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of an Intervention Called Current Together After Cancer (CTAC) to Promote Guideline-Concordant Colorectal Cancer Surveillance

    Purpose: This phase III trial evaluates whether a web-based intervention called Current Together after Cancer (CTAC) works to increase the number of patients with surgically removed (resected) colorectal cancer who receive surveillance care that aligns with current guidelines (guideline-concordant). Surveillance care after resection of colorectal cancer is critical to detect potentially curable return of disease (recurrence), yet up to 60% of colorectal cancer survivors fail to receive surveillance. This may be due to a lack of knowledge about the purpose of surveillance care and the risks of cancer recurrence, or a lack of confidence for managing surveillance care. The CTAC intervention is an online education intervention designed to improve patients' knowledge about surveillance and their self-efficacy for managing surveillance, and to promote effective communication with supporters and supporter engagement in patients' surveillance in a way that is aligned with each patient's preferences. By increasing a patient's knowledge, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with their supporter's engagement in their care, the CTAC intervention may increase the number of patients who receive guideline-concordant surveillance care after resection of colorectal cancer.

    Title: Randomized Phase II/III Trial of First Line Platinum/Etoposide With or Without Atezolizumab (NSC#783608) in Patients With Poorly Differentiated Extrapulmonary Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (NEC)

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial compares the effect of immunotherapy with atezolizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus standard therapy alone for the treatment of poorly differentiated extrapulmonary (originated outside the lung) small cell neuroendocrine cancer. The other aim of this trial is to compare using atezolizumab just at the beginning of treatment versus continuing it beyond the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cisplatin and carboplatin are in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds that work by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill cancer cells. Giving atezolizumab in combination with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide may work better in treating patients with poorly differentiated extrapulmonary small cell neuroendocrine cancer compared to standard therapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide alone.

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial compares the addition of nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab to paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with gastric or esophageal adenocarcinoma that that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Adding nivolumab to ramucirumab and paclitaxel may work better to treat patients with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EAY191-A6

    Title: A ComboMATCH Treatment Trial: FOLFOX in Combination With Binimetinib as 2nd Line Therapy for Patients With Advanced Biliary Tract Cancers With MAPK Pathway Alterations

    Purpose: This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial compares the usual treatment of modified leucovorin, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) chemotherapy to using binimetinib plus mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy to shrink tumors in patients with biliary tract cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and had progression of cancer after previous treatments (2nd line setting). Fluorouracil is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Oxaliplatin is in a class of medications called platinum-containing antineoplastic agents. It works by killing tumor cells. Leucovorin may help the other drugs in the mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy regimen work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Binimetinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps to stop or slow the spread of tumor cells. Giving binimetinib in combination with mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy may be effective in shrinking or stabilizing advanced biliary tract cancers in the 2nd line setting.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A022102

    Title: Randomized Phase III Trial of mFOLFIRINOX vs. FOLFOX With Nivolumab for First-Line Treatment of Metastatic HER2- Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFIRINOX) to modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) for the treatment of advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2 negative esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, and gastric adenocarcinoma. The usual approach for patients is treatment with FOLFOX chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Fluorouracil stops cells from making DNA and it may kill tumor cells. Leucovorin is used with fluorouracil to enhance the effects of the drug. Oxaliplatin works by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Some patients also receive an immunotherapy drug, nivolumab, in addition to FOLFOX chemotherapy. Immunotherapy may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Irinotecan blocks certain enzymes needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill tumor cells. Adding irinotecan to the FOLFOX regimen could shrink the cancer and extend the life of patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers.

      Will be assessed using a stratified log rank test, stratifying for age. The effects of other covariates, such as familial history of gynecologic cancer, time to crossover for bilateral salpingectomy (BLS) patients, and age at study entry, will be adjusted for in Cox proportional hazard models. Patients who crossover will be analyzed according to the initial surgery received at study enrollment as this will reflect actual practice.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Health-related quality of life (QOL) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Endocrine Symptom (FACT-ES). The FACT total score (calculated from the physical, functional, social and emotional well-being subscales) and ES subscale will be assessed. Higher scores indicate better QOL for the FACT-ES and better functioning for the FSFI total score.

    2. Estrogen deprivation symptoms [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the FACT-ES. The FACT total score (calculated from the physical, functional, social and emotional well-being subscales) and ES subscale will be assessed. Higher scores indicate better QOL for the FACT-ES and better functioning for the FSFI total score.

    3. Sexual dysfunction [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Higher scores indicate better functioning for the FSFI total score.

The SDM-Q-9 total score at each time point of collection will be compared between arms using a t-test with a significance level of 0.05. A linear model will be used to assess the association of the SDM-Q-9 total score with treatment arm and patient characteristics such as age and race.

    7. Medical decision making [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Decisional Regret Scale to determine factor associated with the risk of reducing surgical treatment choice. The Decisional Regret Scale total score at each time point of collection will be compared between arms using a t-test with a significance level of 0.05. A linear model will be used to assess the association of the Decisional Regret Scale total score with treatment arm and patient characteristics such as age, race, crossover from BLS arm, and hysterectomy status.

    8. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0. Counts and frequencies will be provided for the worst grade adverse event (AE) experienced by the patient by treatment arm. The distribution of AE grade in the BLS arm will be compared to the BSO arm using a chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test if cell frequencies are < 5, at the one-sided 0.05 significance level.

    Title: A Phase III Trial of the Impact of Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping on Patient Reported Lower Extremity Limb Dysfunction in Endometrial Cancer

    Purpose:

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GY023

    Title: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Triplet Therapy (a PD-L1 Inhibitor (Durvalumab) MEDI4736 in Combination With Olaparib and Cediranib) Compared to Olaparib and Cediranib or (Durvalumab) MEDI4736 and Cediranib or Standard of Care Chemotherapy in Women With Platinum-Resistant Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, Primary Peritoneal or Fallopian Cancer Who Have Received Prior Bevacizumab

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies the possible benefits of treatment with different combinations of the drugs durvalumab, olaparib and cediranib vs. the usual treatment in patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back after a period of improvement with platinum therapy (recurrent platinum resistant). Usual treatment is the type of treatment most patients with this condition receive if they are not part of a clinical study. Combination therapies studied in this trial include MEDI4736 (durvalumab) plus olaparib and cediranib, durvalumab and cediranib, or olaparib and cediranib. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumors cells to grow and spread. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Cediranib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking VEGF (an enzyme). needed for cell growth. Giving different combinations of durvalumab, olaparib and cediranib may work better in increasing the duration of time that the cancer does not progress compared to the usual treatment.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GY026

    Title: A Phase II/III Study of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Alone or Combined With Either Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-Oysk (HERCEPTIN HYLECTA) or Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, and Hyaluronidase-Zzxf (PHESGO) in HER2 Positive, Stage I-IV Endometrial Serous Carcinoma or Carcinosarcoma

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin HylectaTM) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (PhesgoTM) to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep pertuzumab and trastuzumab in the body longer, so that these medications will have a greater effect. Hyaluronidase also allows trastuzumab and trastuzumab/pertuzumab to be given by injection under the skin and shortens their administration time compared to trastuzumab or pertuzumab alone. Paclitaxel is a taxane and in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may shrink the tumor and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GY036

    Title: A Phase III Trial of One vs. Two Years of Maintenance Olaparib, With or Without Bevacizumab, in Patients With BRCA1/2 Mutated or Homologous Recombination Deficient (HRD+) Ovarian Cancer Following Response to First Line Platinum Based Chemotherapy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of olaparib for one year versus two years, with or without bevacizumab, for the treatment of BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Olaparib is a polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving olaparib for one year with or without bevacizumab may be effective in treating patients with BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer, when compared to two years of olaparib.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EA3132

    Title: EA3132:Phase II Randomized Trial of Radiotherapy with or Without Cisplatin for Surgically Resected Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) with TP53 Sequencing

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy with or without cisplatin works in treating patients with stage III-IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have undergone surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without cisplatin in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

    TRIAL NUMBER: RTOG-1216

    Title: RANDOMIZED PHASE II/III TRIAL OF ADJUVANT RADIATION THERAPY WITH CISPLATIN, DOCETAXEL-CETUXIMAB, OR CISPLATIN-ATEZOLIZUMAB IN PATHOLOGIC HIGH-RISK SQUAMOUS CELL CANCER OF THE HEAD AND NECK

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Disease-free survival (DFS) (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until date of local-regional recurrence, distant metastasis or death due to any cause, assessed up to 7 years ]
      Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method for each arm. Their distributions will be compared between treatment arms with a one-sided log rank test.

    2. Overall survival (OS) (Phase III) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization to death due to any cause, assessed up to 7 years ]
      Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method for each arm. Their distributions will be compared between treatment arms with a one-sided log rank test. Multivariate analysis will be performed using the Cox proportional hazards model.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Local-regional failure (LRF) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until date of local-regional recurrence, assessed up to 7 years ]
      The cumulative incidence method will be used to estimate rates, and the failure rates for the experimental arms will be compared against the control using a failure-specific log rank test.

    2. Distant metastasis (DM) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization to date of distant metastasis, assessed up to 7 years ]
      The cumulative incidence method will be used to estimate rates, and the failure rates for the experimental arms will be compared against the control using a failure-specific log rank test.

    3. Toxicity [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to death or last follow-up ]
      Adverse events (AEs) will be graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 4.0. Rates of grade 3+ adverse events overall will be compared between arms by Chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test.

    4. Patient-reported outcome, symptom burden [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to a first recovery within at least one MID unit of total symptom severity compared to the baseline (reference) score ]
      Time to recovery of baseline total symptom severity from the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory - Head and Neck (MDASI-HN). The cumulative incidence method will be used to estimate the event rates, and the event rates between arms will be compared using a cause-specific log rank test. The Fine-Gray subdistribution hazards model may be applied to further explore outcomes by treatment arm and other covariates.

    5. Quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year post radiation therapy (RT) ]
      Quality of life change from baseline at 1-year post RT, as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Head and Neck (FACT-H&N) Trial Outcome Index (TOI). FACT TOI is a validated efficient summary index of physical/functional outcomes, and disease site-specific items, which is highly reliable and sensitive to change in performance status rating. A constrained longitudinal data analysis model will be fitted with all the time points (discrete), the treatment factor and its interaction. The secondary non-inferiority patient-reported outcome (PRO) hypothesis will be tested using a confidence interval approach.

    TRIAL NUMBER: MM1OA-EA02

    Title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Venetoclax and HMA-Based Therapies for the Treatment of Older and Unfit Adults With Newly Diagnosed FLT3-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): A MyeloMATCH Treatment Trial

    Purpose: This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial compares the usual treatment of azacitidine and venetoclax to the combination treatment of azacitidine, venetoclax and gilteritinib in treating older and unfit patients with acute myeloid leukemia and FLT3 mutations. Azacitidine is a drug that is absorbed into DNA and leads to the activation of cancer suppressor genes, which are genes that help control cell growth. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Gilteritinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of a certain naturally occurring substance that may be needed to help cancer cells multiply. This study may help doctors find out if these different approaches are better than the usual approaches. To decide if they are better, the study doctors are looking to see if the study drugs lead to a higher percentage of patients achieving a deeper remission compared to the usual approach.

    TRIAL NUMBER: MYELOMATCH

    Title: Master Screening and Reassessment Protocol (MSRP) for the NCI MyeloMATCH Clinical Trials

    Purpose: This MyeloMATCH Master Screening and Reassessment Protocol (MSRP) evaluates the use of a screening tool and specific laboratory tests to help improve participants' ability to register to clinical trials throughout the course of their myeloid cancer (acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome) treatment. This study involves testing patients' bone marrow and blood for certain biomarkers. A biomarker (sometimes called a marker) is any molecule in the body that can be measured. Doctors look at markers to learn what is happening in the body. Knowing about certain markers can give doctors more information about what is driving the cancer and how to treat it. Testing patients' bone marrow and blood will show doctors if patients have markers that specific drugs can target. The marker testing in this study will let doctors know if they can match patients with a treatment study (myeloMATCH clinical trial) that tests treatment for the type of cancer they have.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A081801

    Title: INTEGRATION OF IMMUNOTHERAPY INTO ADJUVANT THERAPY FOR RESECTED NSCLC: ALCHEMIST CHEMO-IO

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Disease free survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]
      Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, where the stratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. DFS rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years will also be reported, along with 95% confidence intervals.

    2. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 8 years after accrual completion ]
      Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, where the stratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. OS rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years will also be reported, along with 95% confidence intervals.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. DFS between combination pembrolizumab with standard of care vs. sequential pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]
    2. OS between combination pembrolizumab with standard of care vs. sequential pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 8 years after accrual completion ]
    3. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
      The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be summarized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5. The frequency and percentage of grade 3+ adverse events will be compared between the 2 experimental treatment arms and the control as well as between the two experimental arms. We will also compare the rate of drug discontinuation due to adverse events between the experimental treatment arms and control, and between the two experimental arms. Comparisons between arms will be made by using the Chi-square test. Analysis of the overall adverse event rates, as well as specific events of interest will involve Chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests.

    4. DFS between each experimental pembrolizumab plus standard of care arms vs. standard of care by PD-L1 expression status [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]

    Title: Consolidative Use of Radiotherapy to Block (CURB2) Oligoprogression In Patients With Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

    Purpose:

    This study is being done to answer the following question: Can the chance of lung cancer growing or spreading be lowered by adding targeted radiotherapy to the usual combination of drugs?

    This study is being done to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for lung cancer. The usual approach is defined as the care most people get for non-small cell lung cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: CTIU2713 A082304

    Title: Perioperative Versus Adjuvant Systemic Therapy in Patients With Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - PROSPECT LUNG

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares standard therapy given after surgery (adjuvant) to standard therapy given before and after surgery (perioperative) in treating patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be removed by surgery (resectable). The usual approach for patients with resectable NSCLC is chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy before surgery, after surgery, or both before and after surgery. This study is being done to find out which approach is better at treating patients with lung cancer. Treatment will be administered according to the current standard of care at the time of enrollment. Chemotherapy options may include cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed, gemcitabine, docetaxel, and vinorelbine at standard doses according to the treating physician. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Other chemotherapy drugs, such as vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading . Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Starting treatment with chemotherapy and immunotherapy prior to surgery and continuing treatment after surgery may be a more effective treatment option than adjuvant therapy alone in patients with stage II-IIIB resectable NSCLC.

    TRIAL NUMBER: LungMAP

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-LU008

    Title: Phase III Prospective Randomized Trial of Primary Lung Tumor Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Followed by Concurrent Mediastinal Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to standard treatment (image guided radiation therapy [IGRT] and chemotherapy followed by immunotherapy with durvalumab) versus standard treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated by surgery (inoperable). SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. IGRT is a type of radiation that uses a computer to create picture of the tumor, to help guide the radiation beam during therapy, making it more accurate and causing less damage to healthy tissue. Standard chemotherapy used in this trial consists of combinations of the following drugs: cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, pemetrexed, and etoposide. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by blocking the action of a certain substance in the body that may help tumor cells multiply. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with durvalumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding SBRT to the standard treatment of IGRT with chemotherapy and immunotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer than giving the standard treatment alone.

    Title: A Phase II/III Study of N-803 (ALT-803) plus Pembrolizumab versus Standard of Care in Participants with Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Previously Treated with Anti-PD-1 or Anti-PD-L1 Therapy (Lung-MAP Non-Match Sub-Study)

    Purpose: This phase II/III Lung-MAP trial studies how well immunotherapy treatment with N-803 (ALT-803) and pembrolizumab working in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Natural killer cells, part of our immune system, are always on alert and ready to defend our bodies from many kinds of infection or rogue cells, such as those that cause cancer. N-803 (ALT-803) may activate natural killer cells so that they can stimulate an immune response to help fight cancer. 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. Giving N-803 (ALT-803) and pembrolizumab may help shrink and stabilize lung cancer or prevent it from returning.

    Title: A Randomized Phase II/III Study of Docetaxel and Ramucirumab With or Without Cemiplimab for Participants Previously Treated With Platinum-Based Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy for Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (Lung-MAP Non-Matched Sub-Study)

    Purpose: This phase II/III Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial compares the effect of adding cemiplimab to docetaxel and ramucirumab versus docetaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Cemiplimab is a monoclonal antibody that stimulates the immune system by blocking the PD-1 pathway. Tumors use the PD-1 pathway to escape attacks from the immune system. By blocking the PD-1 pathway, cemiplimab may help the immune system recognize and attack tumor cells. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Adding cemiplimab to usual treatment, docetaxel and ramucirumab, may kill more tumor cells compared to docetaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.

    Title: A RANDOMIZED PHASE III TRIAL OF INDUCTION/CONSOLIDATION ATEZOLIZUMAB (NSC #783608) + SBRT VERSUS SBRT ALONE IN HIGH RISK, EARLY STAGE NSCLC

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Overall survival [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
      Will compare overall survival between patients with inoperable, T1, T2, limited T3, N0M0 (early stage) non-small cell lung cancer randomized to stereotactic body radiation therapy with or without atezolizumab. Will be evaluated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. For point estimates at landmark times, the associated 95% confidence interval (CI) will be calculated using Greenwood's formula and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function. Hazard ratios for these outcomes will be estimated using a Cox Proportional Hazards regression model and estimated using a stratified Cox regression model.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Progression free survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
      Will be evaluated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. For point estimates at landmark times, the associated 95% CI will be calculated using Greenwood's formula and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function. Hazard ratios for these outcomes will be estimated using a Cox Proportional Hazards regression model and estimated using a stratified Cox regression model.

    Title: Randomized Phase III Trial INcorporating Pathologic Complete ReSponse in Participants With Early StaGe Non Small Cell Lung Cancer to Optimize ImmunotHerapy in The AdjuvanT Setting (INSIGHT)

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares durvalumab to the usual approach (patient observation) after surgery for the treatment of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to closely watch a patient's condition after surgery and to have regular visits with their doctor to watch for signs of the cancer coming back. Usually, patients do not receive further treatment unless the cancer returns. This study will help determine whether this different approach with durvalumab is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach of observation. Giving durvalumab may help patients live longer and prevent early-stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back as compared to the usual approach.

    Title: A Randomized Phase II Study of CHO(E)P vs CC-486-CHO(E)P vs Duvelisib-CHO(E)P in Previously Untreated CD30 Negative Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies the effect of duvelisib or CC-486 and usual chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide, and prednisone in treating patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Duvelisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as CC-486, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide and prednisone, 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. This trial may help find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for treating peripheral T-cell lymphoma.


    TRIAL NUMBER: MM1MDS-A01

    Title: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Enasidenib-Based Therapies Versus Cedazuridine-Decitabine in Higher-Risk IDH2-Mutated Myelodysplastic Syndrome: A MyeloMATCH Treatment Trial

    Purpose: This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial compares the usual treatment of cedazuridine-decitabine (ASTX727) to the combination treatment of ASTX727 and enasidenib in treating patients with higher-risk, IDH2-mutated myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). ASTX727 is a combination of two drugs, decitabine and cedazuridine. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Enasidenib is an enzyme inhibitor that may stop the growth of cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving ASTX727 in combination with enasidenib may be effective in treating patients with higher-risk IDH2-mutated MDS.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EA6194

    Title: Phase II Randomized Study of Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab Alone or in Combination With CMP-001 in Patients With Operable Melanoma: Efficacy and Biomarker Study

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies the effect of pembrolizumab alone or in combination with CMP-001 in treating patients with melanoma that can be treated by surgery (operable). 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. Immunotherapy with CMP-001 may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The addition of CMP-001 to pembrolizumab could improve the ability of the immune system to shrink tumors and to prevent them from returning.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A151804

    Title: Establishment of a National Biorepository to Advance Studies of Immune-Related Adverse Events

Studying research data and samples from patients who experience immunotherapy side effects may help researchers better understand how to predict, prevent, and treat these side effects.

    TRIAL NUMBER: WF-1901

    Title: Internet-delivered Management of Pain Among Cancer Treatment Survivors (IMPACTS)

    Purpose:

    To determine whether an Internet-based pain coping skills program plus enhanced usual care, compared to enhanced usual care alone, yields significant improvements in the co-primary outcomes of pain severity (as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)) and pain interference (also measured by the BPI) from baseline to the post-intervention assessment for cancer survivors with persistent pain.

    This is a parallel group randomized controlled, prospective study that examines the effect of an Internet-based pain coping skills program on pain severity and pain interference among adult cancer survivors experiencing persistent cancer-related pain. The study also explores the effects of an Internet-based pain coping skills program on opioid/analgesic medication use, health-related quality of life, pain management self-efficacy and various other factors relevant among populations with persistent pain (i.e., fatigue, sleep, emotional distress, positive affect, pain impact, perceived cognitive problems, and cognitive performance), as well as qualitative assessments of participants experiences with pain and the intervention. A total of 456 participants will be enrolled (228 per arm) and randomized into the internet program arm (plus enhanced usual care) or Enhanced Usual Care alone.

    Each participant will be enrolled in the study for 9 months (from randomization at week 0 to the final follow-up assessment at week 34).

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1912CD

    Title: A Randomized Trial Addressing Cancer-Related Financial Hardship Through Delivery of a Proactive Financial Navigation Intervention (CREDIT)

    Purpose: This clinical trial examines a financial navigation program in helping patients and their spouses understand and better manage the financial aspects of cancer care. Cancer patients and their spouses may be at high risk for financial problems because of the cost of cancer treatment. A financial navigator is a person or team who work with patients and their families to help them reduce stress or hardship related to the cost of cancer treatment. Financial navigators help patients understand their out-of-pocket expenses and what their health insurance plans may cover. Financial navigation may also help patients set up payment plans, find cost-saving methods for treatments, and improve access to healthcare services that the patient needs. Providing financial navigation to patients may help reduce financial worries and improve quality of life.

    TRIAL NUMBER: URCC-19178

    Title: Optimizing Functional Outcomes of Older Cancer Survivors after Chemotherapy: The GEM-S Study

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of geriatric evaluation and management with survivorship health education (GEMS) to usual care on patient-reported physical function in older survivors of cancer. Survivorship care for older adults of cancer usually consists of getting advice from their doctor. This advice may include how to do their daily activities, so they are less tired or how to manage multiple diseases, or long-term side effects from treatment. GEMS may help improve the physical ability to perform activities of daily living, mental well-being, and memory in older survivors of cancer after chemotherapy. This study may help doctors learn if including GEMS in their practices improves physical, mental and memory functions in their patients. The study may also help to understand how such care affects cancer patients and their caregivers' quality of life.

    Title: Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Brief Behavioral Therapy for Cancer Related Insomnia (BBT-CI) and Healthy Eating Education Learning (HEAL)

    Purpose:

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-CC012CD

    Title: Managing Symptoms and Psychological Distress During Oral Anti-Cancer Treatment

    Purpose: In this clinical trial, symptom monitoring (interactive voice response [IVR] is compared to automated telephone symptom management [ATSM] and telephone interpersonal counseling [TIPC]) for reducing symptom burden and psychological distress (depressive and anxiety symptoms) among people receiving oral anti-cancer treatment. Symptoms are the number one driver of treatment interruptions and unscheduled health services use. To reduce the risk of these events, symptom monitoring and management are necessary. However, these services are not implemented routinely, especially in the community oncology settings. Further, depressive and anxiety symptoms are a key barrier to enacting symptom self-management strategies. IVR is a form of symptom monitoring where patients, when called, enter their symptom ratings over the phone. Their symptom summary is sent to their provider, and patients may be advised to reach out to their oncology provider, based on their symptoms. The ATSM intervention combines IVR assessments with a Symptom Management and Survivorship educational handbook with self-management strategies. Patients receiving ATSM enter their symptom ratings over the phone and have their symptoms reported to their provider, but patients are also directed to the handbook for strategies to manage elevated symptoms. Patients receiving ATSM who report being anxious, discouraged, or sad will also receive TIPC, which targets psychological distress and its connection to social support and interpersonal communication. Information gathered from this study may help researchers learn more about the best ways to manage patient symptoms and improve patient outcomes.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-HN006

    Title: RANDOMIZED PHASE II/III TRIAL OF SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY VERSUS ELECTIVE NECK DISSECTION FOR EARLY-STAGE ORAL CAVITY CANCER

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Patient-reported neck and shoulder function (Phase II/III) [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Before surgery) to 6 months post-surgery ]
      Will be evaluated and compared using the Neck Dissection Impairment Index (NDII), a 10-item tool between the two treatment arms. It is assumed that a 7.5-point (change from Baseline to 6 months) between arm difference is clinically meaningful. The hypothesis of no between-arm difference in 6-month NDII scores will be tested using the ANCOVA model at one-sided significance level of 0.10. Point estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the mean NDII scores at 6 months for each treatment arm and for the between-arm difference at 6-months based on the proposed model will be provided.

    2. Disease-Free Survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to local/regional recurrence, distant metastasis, or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 11 years ]
      An event for disease-free survival is local recurrence, regional recurrence, distant metastasis, or death due to any cause. Disease-free survival time is randomization date to the date of event or last known follow-up (censoring).

    3. Distant metastasis [ Time Frame: From the time of randomization to the date of distant metastasis, date of precluding event, or last known follow-up date, assessed up to 11 years ]
      An event is the occurrence of distant metastasis. Distant metastasis time is randomization to date of event, precluding event, or last known follow-up (censoring). Rates will be estimated using the cumulative incidence method and between-arm differences compared using cause-specific log-rank test.

    4. Patient-reported shoulder-related QOL, function impairment and disability [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 weeks, 3, 6, 12 months post-surgery. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint. ]
      Patient reported using Abbreviated Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) with scores of 0-100. A higher score indicates greater disability.

    5. General quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 weeks, 3, 6, 12 months post-surgery. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint. ]
      Will be measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head and Neck (FACT-H&N) to measure Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head and Neck-Trial Outcome Index (FACT-TOI) scores on a scale from 0-96. A higher score indicates better quality of life.

    6. Nodal metastasis detection rate [ Time Frame: During surgery. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint. ]
      Defined as the proportion of patients with pathologic positive nodes using the pathology results.

      Measured within the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLN) arm only. Defined as the proportion of patients with false negative results among negative SLN patients.

    8. Post-surgery patient-reported outcome [ Time Frame: At 6 months post-surgery. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint. ]
      Measured by NDII in low-risk oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma patients using ANCOVA comparison model.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2104

    Title: Randomized Phase II Trial of Postoperative Adjuvant Capecitabine and Temozolomide Versus Observation in High-Risk Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies the effect of capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery in treating patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery could prevent or delay the return of cancer in patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

    Title: A Phase II Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial of PROstate OligoMETastatic RadiotHErapy With or Without ANdrogen Deprivation Therapy in Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer (NRG Promethean)

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests whether relugolix and radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in patients with prostate cancer that has spread in a limited way to 1 to 5 other parts of the body (oligometastatic). Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Relugolix lowers the amount of testosterone made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Giving relugolix with radiation therapy may help lower the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GU013

    Title: The Phase III 'High Five Trial' Five Fraction Radiation for High-Risk Prostate Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), (five treatments over two weeks using a higher dose per treatment) to usual radiation therapy (20 to 45 treatments over 4 to 9 weeks) for the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period of time. This trial is evaluating if shorter duration radiation prevents cancer from coming back as well as the usual radiation treatment.

    TRIAL NUMBER: PR.26/CCTG-PR-26

    Title: A Randomized Phase III Clinical Trial for the Addition of Docetaxel to Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors in Patients With Metastatic Castration Sensitive Prostate Cancer and Suboptimal PSA Response

    Purpose:

    This study is being done to answer the following question: can the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading be lowered by adding a drug to the usual combination of drugs?

    This study would like to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for prostate cancer.

    The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is hormone treatment with Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) and Androgen-Receptor Pathway Inhibitor (ARPI).

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1802

    Title: S1802: Phase III Randomized Trial of Standard Systemic Therapy (SST) versus Standard Systemic Therapy plus Definitive treatment (surgery or radiation) of the primary tumor in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial studies how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Addition of prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy to standard systemic therapy for prostate cancer may lower the chance of the cancer growing or spreading.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2210

    Title: A Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant Carboplatin for Localized, High Risk Prostate Cancer With Germline BRCA1/2 Mutations

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests how well carboplatin before surgery works in treating patients with high-risk prostate cancer and an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving carboplatin before surgery may shrink tumors in patients with high-risk prostate cancer with BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations.

    TRIAL NUMBER: CCTG-CO32

    Title: A Phase 3 Randomized Trial Of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy, Excision And Observation Versus Chemoradiotherapy For Early Rectal Cancer

    Purpose: This study is being done to answer the following questions: Is the chance of rectal cancer responding the same if chemotherapy alone is given before limited surgery compared to chemotherapy and radiation therapy given together before limited surgery? If radiation therapy is not given, is quality of life better?

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GU012

    Title: Randomized Phase II Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy (SABR) for Metastatic Unresected Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Receiving Immunotherapy (SAMURAI)

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests whether the addition of radiation to the primary tumor, typically given with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR), in combination with standard of care immunotherapy improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that is not recommended for surgery and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy photons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses of radiation over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, avelumab, and pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib are in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. They work by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving SABR in combination with standard of care immunotherapy may help shrink or stabilize the cancer in patients with renal cell cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1931

    Title: Phase III Trial of Immunotherapy-Based Combination Therapy With or Without Cytoreductive Nephrectomy for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (PROBE Trial)

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding surgery to a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination versus a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Surgery to remove the kidney, called a nephrectomy, is also considered standard of care; however, doctors who treat kidney cancer do not agree on its benefits. It is not yet known if the addition of surgery to an immunotherapy-based drug combination works better than an immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EAY191

    Title: Molecular Analysis for Combination Therapy Choice (ComboMATCH)

    Purpose: This ComboMATCH patient registration trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-HN014

    Title: Randomized Phase III Trial of Perioperative Immunotherapy With Response-Adapted Treatment Versus Standard-of-Care Treatment for Resectable Stage III/IV Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding cemiplimab to standard therapy (surgery with or without radiation) versus standard therapy alone in treating patients with stage III/IV squamous cell skin cancer that is able to be removed by surgery (resectable) and that may have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). The usual treatment for patients with resectable squamous cell skin cancer is the removal of the cancerous tissue (surgery) with or without radiation, which uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cemiplimab has been approved for the treatment of skin cancer that has spread or that cannot be removed by surgery, but it has not been approved for the treatment of skin cancer than can be removed by surgery. Adding cemiplimab to the usual treatment of surgery with or without radiation may be more effective in treating patients with stage III/IV resectable squamous cell skin cancer than the usual treatment alone.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A032103

    Title: MODERN: An Integrated Phase 2/3 and Phase 3 Trial of MRD-Based Optimization of ADjuvant ThErapy in URothelial CaNcer

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial tests the role of DNA released from tumor cells into the blood in guiding the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab alone or with relatlimab) after surgical removal of the bladder for bladder cancer treatment. DNA is material found inside all of our cells that acts as a blueprint for how cells function. Tumor cells often have abnormal DNA that looks different than DNA in normal cells. A new test called Signatera has been developed that can detect bladder cancer DNA in the blood which might indicate the presence of bladder tumor cells somewhere in the body. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Relatlimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help doctors determine if the Signatera test can better identify which patients need an additional treatment with immunotherapy to help prevent bladder cancer from coming back after surgery.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EA8192

    Title: A Phase II/III trial of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) and Chemotherapy for Patients with High Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Prior to Nephroureterectomy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared to chemotherapy alone.

    Title: A Randomized Phase III Trial of Intravesical BCG veRsus Intravesical Docetaxel and GEmcitabine Treatment in BCG Naïve High Grade Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (BRIDGE)

    Purpose: The study hypothesis is that BCG naïve non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients treated with intravesical Gemcitabine + Docetaxel (GEMDOCE) will result in a non-inferior event-free survival (EFS) compared to standard treatment with intravesical BCG. The purpose of this study is to test whether Gemcitabine + Docetaxel is a better or worse treatment than the usual BCG therapy approach. The primary objective of this study is to determine the event free survival (EFS) of BCG-naïve high grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients treated with intravesical BCG vs Gemcitabine + Docetaxel. Secondary objectives are as follows: to compare changes in cancer-specific and bladder cancer-specific QOL from baseline to treatment between BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients receiving BCG and GEMDOCE, to determine the cystectomy free survival (CFS) of BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE, to determine the progression free survival (PFS) of BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE, and to determine the safety and toxicity of BCG-naïve high grade NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE.


    TRIAL NUMBER: EAQ221CD

    Title: Improving Medication Adherence in Metastatic Breast Cancer Using a Connected Customized Treatment Platform (CONCURxP)

    Purpose: This clinical trial compares the use of the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP), consisting of using a medication monitoring device called WiseBag along with text message reminders for missed or extra medication events, to enhanced usual care (EUC), where patients only use the Wisebag, to monitor medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor. 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 medication non adherence. 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.

    Title: A Phase 3 Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Open vs Thoracoscopic Management of Pulmonary Metastases in Patients With Osteosarcoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of open thoracic surgery (thoracotomy) to thoracoscopic surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or VATS) in treating patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung (pulmonary metastases). Open thoracic surgery is a type of surgery done through a single larger incision (like a large cut) that goes between the ribs, opens up the chest, and removes the cancer. Thoracoscopy is a type of chest surgery where the doctor makes several small incisions and uses a small camera to help with removing the cancer. This trial is being done evaluate the two different surgery methods for patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung to find out which is better.

    Title: A Phase 3 Study of Sodium Thiosulfate for Reduction of Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity in Children With Average-Risk Medulloblastoma and Reduced Therapy in Children With Medulloblastoma With Low-Risk Features

    Purpose: This phase III trial tests the addition of sodium thiosulfate to standard of care chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with low or average risk medulloblastoma (a type of cancer in the brain). Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Although treatment for newly diagnosed average-risk and low-risk medulloblastoma is generally effective at treating the cancer, there are still concerns about the side effects of such treatment. Side effects are unintended problems that arise due to treatment such as learning difficulties, lower amounts of hormones, hearing problems, or other problems in performing daily activities. Patients with medulloblastoma often receive treatment with chemotherapy drugs including cisplatin. Cisplatin may cause hearing loss as a side effect. Previous studies with sodium thiosulfate have shown that it may help reduce or prevent hearing loss caused by cisplatin. This study looks at adding sodium thiosulfate to standard treatment for medulloblastoma (radiation therapy and chemotherapy, including cisplatin) to find out if it reduces hearing loss.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ACNS1821

    Title: A Phase 1/2 Trial of Selinexor (KPT-330) and Radiation Therapy in Newly-Diagnosed Pediatric Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and High-Grade Glioma (HGG)

    Purpose: This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of selinexor given in combination with standard radiation therapy in treating children and young adults with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma (HGG) with a genetic change called H3 K27M mutation. It also tests whether combination of selinexor and standard radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in this patient population. Glioma is a type of cancer that occurs in the brain or spine. Glioma is considered high risk (or high-grade) when it is growing and spreading quickly. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. DIPG is a subtype of HGG that grows in the pons (a part of the brainstem that controls functions like breathing, swallowing, speaking, and eye movements). This trial has two parts. The only difference in treatment between the two parts is that some subjects treated in Part 1 may receive a different dose of selinexor than the subjects treated in Part 2. In Part 1 (also called the Dose-Finding Phase), investigators want to determine the dose of selinexor that can be given without causing side effects that are too severe. This dose is called the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In Part 2 (also called the Efficacy Phase), investigators want to find out how effective the MTD of selinexor is against HGG or DIPG. Selinexor blocks a protein called CRM1, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. It is a type of small molecule inhibitor called selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE). Radiation therapy uses high energy to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. The combination of selinexor and radiation therapy may be effective in treating patients with newly-diagnosed DIPG and H3 K27M-Mutant HGG.

    Title: Triptorelin and Protection of Ovarian Reserve in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of giving triptorelin vs no triptorelin in preventing ovarian damage in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer receiving chemotherapy with an alkylating agents. Alkylating agents are part of standard chemotherapy, but may cause damage to the ovaries. If the ovaries are not working well or completely shut down, then it will be difficult or impossible to get pregnant in the future. Triptorelin works by blocking certain hormones and causing the ovaries to slow down or pause normal activity. The triptorelin used in this study stays active in the body for 24 weeks or about 6 months after a dose is given. After triptorelin is cleared from the body, the ovaries resume normal activities. Adding triptorelin before the start of chemotherapy treatment may reduce the chances of damage to the ovaries.

    Title: A PHASE 3 RANDOMIZED NON-INFERIORITY STUDY OF CARBOPLATIN AND VINCRISTINE VERSUS SELUMETINIB (NSC# 748727, IND# 77782) IN NEWLY DIAGNOSED OR PREVIOUSLY UNTREATED LOW-GRADE GLIOMA (LGG) NOT ASSOCIATED WITH BRAFV600E MUTATIONS OR SYSTEMIC NEUROFIBROMATOSIS TYPE 1 (NF1)

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the first occurrence of clinical or radiographic disease progression, disease recurrence, second malignant neoplasm, or death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years ]
      Will estimate the hazard ratio based on a stratified Cox proportional hazards model and use Kaplan Meier (KM) methods to visualize and summarize the data.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Radiographic tumor response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
      Will summarize the radiologic response rates per arm and test for a difference between the 2 arms using an exact binomial test.

    2. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until death from any cause or until the time of last follow-up for patients who are alive at time of analysis ]
      Will also use the KM methods, log-rank tests, and Cox proportional hazards models to determine whether there is a difference in OS between the 2 arms.

    3. Proportion of patients who experience an improvement in visual acuity (VA) [ Time Frame: After first 12 months of treatment ]
      The vision-based analyses will be conducted both on a per-subject and per-eye basis. For the per subject analyses, will use an exact binomial test to compare the difference in the proportion of subjects in each arm that show improvement in VA after 12 months of treatment using a 1-sided test with 10% type 1 error. For the secondary per eye analyses, will use repeated measures approaches to account for within patient correlations. Will consider changes between baseline and 12-month time points for this analysis.

    4. Motor function assessment [ Time Frame: At baseline and after 48 weeks of therapy ]
      The Vineland scale will be used to assess motor and coordination deficits. Will compare the magnitudes of change from baseline between the 2 treatment arms and provide a 90% 2-sided confidence interval for this difference.

    5. Change in parent and patient-reported quality of life (QOL) over time [ Time Frame: Baseline and at 9 months after treatment initiation ]
      QOL will be measured via the validated PedsQL Generic Module (for children 2-21 years old). Primary analysis will be based on a 2-sample t-test comparing change in the QOL score between 9 months and baseline for the 2 arms, as planned. If the change scores are skewed or do not otherwise meet the t-test assumptions, non-parametric alternatives may be employed for analysis.


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. PedsQL Generic module [ Time Frame: At baseline, 9 months, and 30 months, and 60 months after treatment initiation ]
      For all measures, scores for each domain at each time point, as well as change in scores between time points, will be summarized and examined by descriptive statistics and appropriate plots.

    2. Neurocognitive function [ Time Frame: At baseline, 9 months, and 30 months, and 60 months after treatment initiation ]
      Assessed by Children's Oncology Group (COG) Standardized Neuropsychological & Behavioral Battery.

    3. Neurocognitive function [ Time Frame: At baseline, 9 months, and 30 months, and 60 months after treatment initiation ]
      Assessed by Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, Second Edition (BRIEF-2).

    TRIAL NUMBER: AALL1732

    Title: A Phase 3 Randomized Trial of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (NSC#: 772518) for Newly Diagnosed High-Risk B-ALL; Risk-Adapted Post-Induction Therapy for High-Risk B-ALL, Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia, and Disseminated B-LLy

    Purpose:

    This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, methotrexate, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, prednisone, thioguanine, vincristine, and pegaspargase 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. This trial will also study the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and disseminated B lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with high-risk ALL chemotherapy.

    The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first two phases of therapy: Induction and Consolidation. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, in order to classify patients into post-consolidation treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance I, delayed intensification, interim maintenance II, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. Other aims of this study include investigating whether treating both males and females with the same duration of chemotherapy maintains outcomes for males who have previously been treated for an additional year compared to girls, as well as to evaluate the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ANBL1531

    Title: ANBL1531, A Phase 3 Study of 131I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) or Crizotinib Added to Intensive Therapy for Children with Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma (NBL) (IND# 134379)

    Purpose: ANBL1531 is a COG group-wide Phase III study for patients between 1-30 years of age with neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma (nodular). In this study, researchers want to find out if we can improve the treatment for subjects with high-risk NBL by adding the experimental drug 131I-MIBG or the experimental drug crizotinib to COG recommended therapy. (Subjects are people who agree to take part in this study). 131I-MIBG is an experimental anticancer drug that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in treating high-risk NBL. 131I-MIBG has been used to treat NBL that did not respond to standard therapy or that has come back. 131I-MIBG has been shown to be well tolerated in children with cancer. Crizotinib is an experimental anticancer drug that has not been approved by the FDA for use in treating high-risk NBL. Crizotinib has been approved by the FDA for use in treating adults with certain types of lung cancer that has spread. Crizotinib has been welltolerated in children and adults with cancer. Crizotinib will only be used in subjects whose tumor shows changes (mutations or increased number of copies) in a gene called ALK. Changes in the ALK gene are only found in 10-15% of children with high-risk NBL. The overall goals of this study are to: • Compare the effects, good and/or bad, of the experimental drug 131I-MIBG added to current COG recommended therapy to the effects of current COG recommended therapy without the experimental drug 131I-MIBG. • Compare the effects, good and/or bad, of the experimental drug crizotinib added to current COG recommended therapy to the effects of current COG recommended therapy without the experimental drug crizotinib. Another goal of this study is to: • Evaluate the effects, good and/or bad, of using the experimental drug 131I-MIBG and reducing the number of stem cell transplants from 2 to 1 by giving the drugs BuMel during Consolidation therapy. The goal for subjects in Arm D of this study is: • To see if subjects with a tumor that is 123I-MIBG non-avid and does not have changes in the ALK gene have better outcomes than those with 123I-MIBG avid NBL when treated with COG recommended therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma. An 123I-MIBG avid tumor means that the tumor took up 123I-MIBG during a scan. An 123IMIBG non-avid tumor means that the tumor did not take up 123I-MIBG during a scan. The goal for subjects in Arm E of this study is: • To see if subjects with a tumor that shows changes in the ALK gene will have improved outcomes when the experimental drug crizotinib is added to COG recommended therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma. Each subject on the ANBL1531 study will have genetic tests done on his/her tumor tissue. The tumor tissue will be tested for changes to a gene called ALK. The experimental drug crizotinib may be effective against tumors with ALK gene changes.

    Title: A Phase 2 Study of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (NSC# 772518, IND#133494) in Children and Young Adults with Relapsed or Refractory CD22+ B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B- ALL)

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Morphologic response (complete response [CR]+ incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi]) following one cycle of treatment with inotuzumab ozogamicin (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]
      The response rate will be estimated using the proportion of eligible/evaluable patients with CR/CRi response. A one-sided lower 95% Agresti-Coull confidence limit will be calculated.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Morphologic response (CR + CRi) following 2 cycles of inotuzumab ozogamicin therapy (Cohort1) [ Time Frame: Up to 56 days ]
      The response rate will be estimated using the proportion of eligible/evaluable patients with CR/CRi response.

    2. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities at recommended phase II dose (RP2D) (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: During Cycle 1, up to 42 days ]
      Evaluated according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Toxicity tables will be constructed to summarize the observed incidence by type of toxicity and grade. For a given reporting period, a patient will be counted only once for a given toxicity for the worst grade of that toxicity reported for that patient.

    3. Level of minimal residual disease (MRD) assessed in bone marrow by flow cytometry (Cohort 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 cycles ]

      Standard errors and confidence intervals for EFS will be calculated using Peto's method.

    6. Overall survival (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: From the time from study entry to death or date of last follow-up, assessed up to 3 years ]
      OS will be estimated using Kaplan Meier approach.

    7. Duration of CR, CRi (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
      Among responding patients, three-year complete continuous response will also be estimated using duration of CR/CRi for the overall responding group and stratified by whether or not the patients proceed to HSCT.

    8. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, i.e., inotuzumab ozogamicin trough levels (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: Cycles 1 and 2 (each cycle is 28 days) ]
      Inotuzumab ozogamicin trough levels (ng/mL) will be determined in serum by validated, high sensitivity liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) assays. Descriptive summary statistics will be provided for the trough levels at scheduled visits for Cycles 1 and 2.

    9. Immunogenicity (Cohort 1) [ Time Frame: Cycles 1 and 2 ]
      Enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) and cell-based assays will be used to detect anti-drug antibodies and neutralizing antibodies to inotuzumab ozogamicin in serum. Inotuzumab ozogamicin trough levels will be compared between patients with and without antibodies.

    10. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities at the selected dose level of inotuzumab ozogamicin in combination with the augmented modified Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster (mBFM) consolidation chemotherapy (Cohort 2) [ Time Frame: Up to cycle 1 (each cycle is 36 days) ]
      Evaluated according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Toxicity tables will be constructed to summarize the observed incidence by type of toxicity and grade. For a given reporting period, a patient will be counted only once for a given toxicity for the worst grade of that toxicity reported for that patient.


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. Changes in CD22 surface expression (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Baseline, post Cycle 1, and at time of relapse ]
      Exploratory analysis of CD22 will focus primarily on the comparison of paired pre-treatment and post-treatment samples at the following times, 1) End of cycle 1 and 2) at relapse to evaluate for changes in CD22 expression pre and post-inotuzumab ozogamicin. Specifically, samples will be evaluated for change in CD22 expression that occurs over time to study the role of CD22 expression as it relates to resistance to therapy or mechanism for relapse. Correlation between changes in CD22 expression and patient's clinical response to inotuzumab ozogamicin as well as cytogenetic/molecular features will be described, in particular to explore the association of CD22-negative subpopulations in patients with KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

    2. Change in CD22 site density (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Baseline, post Cycle 1, and at time of relapse ]
      Exploratory analysis of CD22 will focus primarily on the comparison of paired pre-treatment and post-treatment samples at the following times, 1) End of cycle 1 and 2) at relapse to evaluate for changes in CD22 site density pre and post-inotuzumab ozogamicin. Samples will be evaluated for any change in CD22 site density that occurs over time and to evaluate for the emergence of a CD22 "dim" or "negative" population to study the role of CD22 site density as it relates to resistance to therapy or mechanism for relapse. Correlation between changes in CD22 site density and patient's clinical response to inotuzumab ozogamicin as well as cytogenetic/molecular features will be described, in particular to explore the association of CD22-negative subpopulations in patients with KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

    3. Leukemic blast CD22 splice variants (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Baseline, post-Cycle 1, and at time of relapse ]
      Will be analyzed by ribonucleic acid-sequencing (RNA-Seq). The MAJIQ and VOILA software will be used to identify splicing variations in CD22 from RNA Seq and to quantitate the percent spliced in (PSI) of the alternative exons. CD22 protein levels will be determined by immunoblotting of whole cell protein lysates using several anti-CD22 antibodies recognizing either extracellular or intracellular domains. Both protein sizes and preservation of individual epitopes will be assessed and correlated with alterations in exon inclusion.

    4. Intracellular signaling pathways in leukemic blasts treated with inotuzumab ozogamicin (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 5 years ]
      Peripheral blood samples will be evaluated by comprehensive protein profiling using CyTOF panels for the two major areas of analyses, surface immunophenotyping to assess the developmental stage of both normal and abnormal B cells and measure their responses to inotuzumab ozogamicin , as well as intracellular epitopes to assess the cellular consequences of treatment with inotuzumab ozogamicin. Exploratory analysis will be performed using Cytobank software tools (viSNE, SPADE and CITRUS) for subpopulations clustering, dimensionality reduction and hierarchical organization.

    5. Changes in peripheral blood absolute B cell numbers and maturation of developing B cell populations with inotuzumab ozogamicin therapy (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 5 years ]
      Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize patterns of B-cell development including selective loss of subsets. Changes in B cell number and subsets will be described, and exploratory analysis will be conducted to assess their correlation with clinical features including immunoglobulin levels, occurrence of infections, and need for intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) replacement during inotuzumab ozogamicin therapy.

    6. Level of MRD by next-generation high-throughput sequencing (HTS) techniques (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 cycles ]
      Compared to MRD measured by flow cytometry. MRD levels at each bone marrow evaluation time point will be measured by standard flow cytometry (MRD-negative defined as < 0.01% or 1 leukemic cell in 10-4 nucleated cells). At the end of cycles 1 and 2, MRD will also be assessed by HTS. The correlation between the measurements with each technique will be described and the sensitivity of flow-based MRD methodology in the setting of CD22-targeted therapy will be explored.

    7. Serum levels of candidate SOS biomarkers Ang2 and L ficolin (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months from last dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin ]
      Correlated with clinical development of SOS. Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize clinical features of patients experiencing SOS. L-ficolin and Ang2 absolute levels and change in level over time with inotuzumab ozogamicin exposure will be evaluated and correlated with development of SOS. Biomarker levels will be compared using simple comparative statistics between subgroups.

    8. Incidence of SOS in patients who receive prophylaxis with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) during inotuzumab ozogamicin therapy (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months from last dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin ]
      Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize clinical features of patients experiencing SOS, potential clinical risk factors, and the impact of ursodeoxycholic acid prophylaxis.

    9. Interaction between CAR- T therapy and inotuzumab ozogamicin (Cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Will be evaluated by incidence of hematologic DLT in patients with CAR-T therapy prior to inotuzumab ozogamicin, incidence of post-inotuzumab ozogamicin CAR-T therapy, time to CAR-T therapy after inotuzumab ozogamicin, and B-cell recovery prior to CAR-T therapy after inotuzumab ozogamicin. Will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

    10. Morphologic response (CR/CRi) (Cohort 2) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 cycles (each cycle is 36 days) ]
      Will be estimated using the proportion of eligible/evaluable patients with CR/CRi response. Analysis will be mostly descriptive.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AALL1821

    Title: A Phase 2 Study of Blinatumomab (NSC# 765986) in Combination With Nivolumab (NSC # 748726), a Checkpoint Inhibitor of PD-1, in B-ALL Patients Aged ? 1 to < 31 Years Old With First Relapse

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab compared to blinatumomab alone in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back (relapsed). Down syndrome patients with relapsed B-ALL are included in this study. Blinatumomab is an antibody, which is a protein that identifies and targets specific molecules in the body. Blinatumomab searches for and attaches itself to the cancer cell. Once attached, an immune response occurs which may kill the cancer cell. Nivolumab is a medicine that may boost a patient's immune system. Giving nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab may cause the cancer to stop growing for a period of time, and for some patients, it may lessen the symptoms, such as pain, that are caused by the cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AALL2321

    Title: A Phase 2 Study of Blinatumomab in Combination With Chemotherapy for Infants With Newly Diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia With Randomization of KMT2A-Rearranged Patients to Addition of Venetoclax

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests the addition of venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to usual chemotherapy for treating infants with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with a KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-rearranged [R]) or without a KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-germline [G]). Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Blinatumomab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs 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. Adding venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to standard chemotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with ALL than standard chemotherapy alone, but it may also cause more side effects. This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of adding venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to chemotherapy for the treatment of infants with KMT2A-R or KMT2A-G ALL.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ACCL1931

    Title: A Randomized Trial of Levocarnitine Prophylaxis to Prevent Asparaginase-Associated Hepatotoxicity in Adolescents and Young Adults Receiving Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Therapy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding levocarnitine to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in protecting the liver in patients with leukemia and lymphoma. Standard of care chemotherapy treatment for leukemia and lymphoma includes a type of chemotherapy named asparaginase, given either as the drug pegaspargase, or a similar drug, calaspargase pegol. This type of chemotherapy can cause severe liver damage. Levocarnitine is a drug used to provide extra carnitine, a naturally occurring nutrient that is part of a typical diet and is also made by the body. Carnitine is important to keep the liver healthy and may be able to prevent damage to the liver from chemotherapy and other drugs. Taking levocarnitine may reduce the rate of severe liver damage caused by asparaginase chemotherapy in patients with leukemia and lymphoma.

    Title: Pediatric Acute Leukemia (PedAL) Screening Trial - Developing New Therapies for Relapsed Leukemias

    Purpose: This study aims to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen for patient eligibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials. Testing bone marrow and blood from patients with leukemia that has come back after treatment or is difficult to treat may provide information about the patient's leukemia that is important when deciding how to best treat it, and may help doctors find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia in children, adolescents, and young adults.

    Title: A Phase II Study of Daratumumab-Hyaluronidase for Chemotherapy-Relapsed/Refractory Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL/T-LBL)

    Purpose:

    In this study, the investigators are hypothesizing that daratumumab-hyaluronidase will effectively treat T-ALL in patients who have persistent or recurrent MRD following treatment with chemotherapy.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AAML1831

    Title: A Phase 3 Randomized Trial for Patients with de novo AML Comparing Standard Therapy Including Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (GO) to CPX-351 with GO, and the Addition of the FLT3 Inhibitor Gilteritinib for Patients with FLT3 Mutations

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
      The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate 3-year EFS, defined as the time from study entry until induction failure, relapse, secondary malignancy, or death.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
      The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate 3-year OS, defined as the time from study entry until death.

    2. Proportion of patients positive for minimal residual disease (MRD+) [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ]
      The proportion of patients MRD+ at end of induction 1 (EOI1) will be estimated as the number of patients MRD+ divided by the number of patients with evaluable EOI1 MRD results along with a corresponding 95% confidence interval determined using a binomial exact method.

    3. Proportion of patients who died during protocol therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
      The proportion of patients who died during protocol therapy will be estimated along with the corresponding 95% confidence interval determined using a binomial exact method.

    4. Relapse rate [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
      Cumulative incidence estimates will be used to determine the 3 year relapse rate defined as time from study entry to induction failure or relapse where deaths or secondary malignancies are competing events.

    5. Treatment-related mortality rate (TRM) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
      Cumulative incidence estimates will be used to determine the 3 year TRM defined as time from study entry to death where induction failure, relapse or secondary malignancies are competing events.

    6. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
      The proportion of patients experiencing at least one grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity and infection while on protocol therapy will be estimated along with the corresponding 95% confidence interval determined using a binomial exact method. Toxicity will be assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0).


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. Course duration [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
      Median and range of the length of course duration will be determined.

    2. Length of hospitalization [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
      Median and range of the length of hospitalization time during protocol therapy will be determined.

    3. Time to count recovery [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
      Cumulative incidence estimates that account for competing events will be used to estimate time to count recovery in days where deaths are competing events.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AHOD2131

    Title: A Randomized Phase 3 Interim Response Adapted Trial Comparing Standard Therapy With Immuno-Oncology Therapy for Children and Adults With Newly Diagnosed Stage I and II Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding immunotherapy (brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab) to standard treatment (chemotherapy with or without radiation) to the standard treatment alone in improving survival in patients with stage I and II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is made of a monoclonal antibody called brentuximab that is linked to a cytotoxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive lymphoma cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, dacarbazine, and procarbazine hydrochloride 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. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding immunotherapy to the standard treatment of chemotherapy with or without radiation may increase survival and/or fewer short-term or long-term side effects in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma compared to the standard treatment alone.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AGCT1532

    Title: Phase 3 Accelerated BEP Trial: A randomised phase 3 trial of accelerated versus standard BEP chemotherapy for patients with intermediate and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours

    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether accelerated BEP chemotherapy is more effective than standard BEP chemotherapy in males 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 rates and were more toxic than BEP. New strategies are needed for patients with intermediate and poor-risk disease. BEP is accelerated by cycling Cisplatin and etoposide 2-weekly instead of 3-weekly. The Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group (ANZUP) is conducting a trial comparing accelerated BEP with standard BEP. The aim of this study is to determine if accelerated BEP is superior to standard BEP as first-line chemotherapy for intermediate and poor risk metastatic GCTs.

    Title: Pediatric MATCH: Trk Inhibitor LOXO-101 in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Advanced Solid Tumors, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, or Histiocytic Disorders With NTRK Fusions

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies Trk inhibitor LOXO-101 in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders with NTRK fusions that have spread to other places in the body and have come back or do not respond to treatment. Trk inhibitor LOXO-101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

    TRIAL NUMBER: AGCT1531

    Title: A PHASE 3 STUDY OF ACTIVE SURVEILLANCE FOR LOW RISK AND A RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF CARBOPLATIN VS. CISPLATIN FOR STANDARD RISK PEDIATRIC AND ADULT PATIENTS WITH GERM CELL TUMORS

    Purpose: Primary Outcome Measures:
    EFS [ Time Frame: The time from study entry to the date of death, date of disease progression or recurrence, date of second malignant neoplasm or date of last contact and ascertained as alive, whichever comes first, assessed up to 5 years ] Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: The time from randomization to date of date of death or date of last follow-up and ascertained as alive, assessed up to 8 years ] A 1-sided lower 85% confidence limit for the 2-year survival will be constructed, and if this confidence limit is greater than 0.95, it will be concluded that the strategy provides sufficient OS.

    Secondary Outcome Measures:
    Content validity and understandability of AYA-Hearing Screen assessed by questionnaire [ Time Frame: Baseline ] Incidence of ototoxicity [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after the last dose of platin therapy ] Will compare the proportion of patients who demonstrate hearing loss according to the International Society of Pediatric Oncology criteria.
    Novel genetic variants associated with an increased risk of platinum-associated ototoxicity as determined by standard audiology [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] For each candidate gene, will perform an exact two-sided test for the equality of binomial proportions for the event - patient has the candidate gene. The two groups compared will be defined by the presence of SHL. Will use the Bonferroni correction to control experiment-wise error and designate the result as significant if the observed p-value is less than or equal to 0.0025.
    Utility of the 4-miRNA panel as markers diagnostic of MGCTs [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will use categorical data methods and estimate the probability of demonstrating an elevated miRNA value as the proportion of patients who have the particular miRNA elevated.
    Utility of the 4-miRNA panel as markers diagnostic of MGCTs [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will compare the diagnostic sensitivity of serum markers, particularly elevated alpha-fetoprotein, to that of elevated microRNA for each of the microRNAs, as well as the characteristic any microRNA elevated. Will perform McNemar's test. The result for each serum evaluation (elevated or not elevated) for each sample on which both serum marker and microRNA evaluation are obtained will be cross tabulated and the p-value associated with McNemar's test calculated. A p-value of 0.05 or less will be considered evidence of differential sensitivity.

    Other Outcome Measures:
    Activation of protein signaling pathway [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will assess the relationship between pathway activation, including EGFR, MAP Kinase and P3K and risk for disease progression. Tumor materials will be evaluated for the activation of specific pathways, including the three mentioned above. The effect of pathway activation, coded as yes vs. no, on the cause-specific hazard of EFS component disease progression will be estimated by relative risk regression considering other EFS events as censoring events. Will use the Benjamini and Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate.
    Binomial data [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will use repeated measures binomial data as the initial approach to investigating this exploratory aim. Each biomarker will be examined individually. The predictor variables will be the measured value of particular novel biomarker and randomized treatment regimen. The response variable will be the occurrence of grade 3 or higher nephrotoxicity during the next treatment cycle. Will use logistic regression with a shared random frailty for outcomes for the same individual, when the subject's biomarkers are evaluated more than once during protocol therapy and the particular toxicity type is revers
    Incidence of kidney dysfunction [ Time Frame: 12-16 weeks after the last dose of platin therapy ] Two patient characteristics will be used to measure kidney dysfunction: (1) the presence of Grade 1 or greater elevation of serum creatinine; and a second measure that is more sensitive for damage to the renal endothelium (2) albuminuria.
    Incidence of self-reported peripheral neuropathy assessed by the 11-item Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity scale [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ] Will compare the characteristics obtained at the start of chemotherapy of patients from the relevant groups who contribute to the patient reported outcome analyses with those who do not to investigate whether the measured group may not be representative of the study population. Will also conduct other sensitivity analysis as appropriate to assess the effects of missing data on the analysis for this aim.
    Incidence of self-reported peripheral neuropathy assessed by the 11-item Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity scale [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ] Will compare self-reported peripheral neuropathy and other patient-reported outcomes between children, adolescents and young adults with standard risk germ cell tumors treated with carboplatin-based chemotherapy as compared to cisplatin based chemotherapy.
    Prognostic effects of the marker defined by microRNA signature present or high values of alpha-fetoprotein or beta-HCG [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed using a proportional approach. EFS from time of enrollment will be used for markers that are obtained at enrollment. EFS post complete evaluation of marker decline will be used for markers where the characteristic is the change in a putative marker.
    Prognostic significance of the 4-miRNA panel [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed using time-dependent covariate analysis.

    Title: Umbrella Long-Term Follow-Up Protocol

    Purpose: OBJECTIVES:
    To develop a mechanism for tracking and retaining patients enrolled on COG protocols. To maintain regular, lifetime contact with patients in order to obtain current identification and contact information, and self/parent-reported health status. To locate patients who are lost-to-follow-up for COG (or Legacy Group) protocols targeted for follow-up by the Long-Term Follow-Up Center (LTFC). To provide current patient contact information and self/parent-reported health status updates to the COG Statistics and Data Center (SDC) and to each patient's COG institution. To facilitate collection of protocol-specific outcome data through collaboration with the COG Late Effects Committee, the SDC, and the member institutions. To collect cumulative therapeutic exposure data (via therapeutic summaries completed online by treating institutions) on patients completing active therapy. OUTLINE: This is an umbrella protocol for all long-term follow-up at COG institutions. Approximately 6 months after completion of therapy patients receive a mailed packet introducing the Long-Term Follow-Up Center (LTFC) and containing information related to their individualized, protocol-specific follow-up guidelines. Patients are asked to complete a patient response form, verify information provided in packet, update contact information, and complete a Health Status Update Form. The Health Status Update Form is a brief document including questions about current health status, disease status, and cancer therapy received since the last mailing. Patients receive protocol-specific automatic reminders, and may respond by use of postage prepaid envelopes, email, or 24-hour toll-free telephone.

    Title: Pediatric MATCH: Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Advanced Solid Tumors, Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, or Histiocytic Disorders

    Purpose: This screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ANHL2121

    Title: Phase 2 Study of Tovorafenib (DAY101) in Relapsed and Refractory Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and activity of tovorafenib (DAY101) in treating patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), has come back (relapsed) after previous treatment, or does not respond to therapy (refractory). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of disease that occurs when the body makes too many immature Langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell). When these cells build up, they can form tumors in certain tissues and organs including bones, skin, lungs and pituitary gland and can damage them. This tumor is more common in children and young adults. DAY101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Using DAY101 may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ARST2032

    Title: A Prospective Phase 3 Study of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Very Low-Risk and Low-Risk Fusion Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of vincristine and dactinomycin (VA) vs vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide (VAC) in treating patients with very low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (VLR-RMS) and examines the use of centralized molecular risk stratification in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma. Another aim of the study it to find out how well patients with low risk rhabdomyosarcoma (LR-RMS) respond to standard chemotherapy when patients with VLR-RMS and patients who have rhabdomyosarcoma with DNA mutations get separate treatment. Finally, this study compares the effects of giving chemotherapy drugs for longer amount of time to people who have RMS cancer with DNA mutations to find out which is better. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues of the body. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Dactinomycin is a type of antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy (antineoplastic antibiotic). It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Giving vincristine and dactinomycin for a shorter period of time may be more beneficial than giving vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide for longer period in patients with VLR-RMS.

    Title: A Phase 2 Study Using Chemoimmunotherapy With Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Nivolumab in Newly Diagnosed Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests effects of nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy drugs prior to radiation therapy patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Researchers want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, adding nivolumab to chemotherapy has on patients with newly diagnosed NPC. In addition, they want to find out if children with NPC may be treated with less radiation therapy and whether this decreases the side effects of therapy.

    Title: A Phase 3 Study of Dinutuximab Added to Intensive Multimodal Therapy for Children With Newly Diagnosed High-Risk Neuroblastoma

    Purpose: 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.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ALTE2031

    Title: StepByStep: A Randomized Trial of a Mobile Health and Social Media Physical Activity Intervention among Adolescent and Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares a multi-component mobile health and social media physical activity intervention versus wearing a physical activity tracker alone among adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors. Regular physical activity helps maintain healthy weight, energy levels, and health. Adolescents and young adults who complete treatment for cancer are often less active. They may gain weight and have more health problems compared to people the same age who have not had treatment for cancer. Comparing the 2 programs will help researchers learn how to increase physical activity levels over time and also how changes in physical activity levels affect health and quality of life over time.

    Title: Risk Adapted Treatment of Unilateral Favorable Histology Wilms Tumors (FHWT)

    Purpose: This phase III trial studies using risk factors in determining treatment for children with favorable tissue (histology) Wilms tumors (FHWT). Wilms Tumor is the most common type of kidney cancer in children, and FHWT is the most common subtype. Previous large clinical trials have established treatment plans that are likely to cure most children with FHWT, however some children still have their cancer come back (called relapse) and not all survive. Previous research has identified features of FHWT that are associated with higher or lower risks of relapse. The term "risk" refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Using results of tumor histology tests, biology tests, and response to therapy may be able to improve treatment for children with FHWT.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AREN1921

    Title: Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Anaplastic Wilms Tumors (DAWT) and Relapsed Favorable Histology Wilms Tumors (FHWT)

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: From study entry to the earliest of relapse or disease progression, second malignant neoplasm, or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after study enrollment ]
      For Strata 1-3, the primary analysis of EFS will consist of a one-sample, one-sided log rank test versus a historical control cohort (or representative distribution) with stratum-specific type I error levels. For Stratum 4, the primary analysis of EFS is descriptive, but with a desired level of precision to estimate 4-year EFS at the time of the final analysis (2 years after the last patient enrolls).


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From study entry to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years after study enrollment ]
      For each stratum, OS will be estimated at the same time as the conclusive (interim or final) analysis and reported descriptively with 95% pointwise confidence bands.


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. Incidence of grade 3-5 renal toxicity [ Time Frame: Up to 30 weeks on average for Stratum 4 only ]
      Incidence of grade 3-5 renal toxicity during protocol therapy will be monitored for Stratum 4 as part of a prospective safety monitoring plan. At the time of final study analysis, renal toxicity will be described by factors including age, relapse risk group, and timing and association (descriptive) with the exploratory renal toxicity biomarkers.

    2. Collection of blood and urine samples [ Time Frame: Up to 42 weeks on average for Strata 1-3 and up to 30 weeks on average for Stratum 4 ]
      For all Strata 1-4, serial blood and urine samples will be collected (during protocol therapy, at the end of protocol therapy, and at first relapse) and banked for future analysis such as evaluation of minimal residual disease by assessing levels of circulating tumor-derived deoxyribonucleic acid.

    3. p53 biomarker analysis [ Time Frame: Based on tissue collected at diagnosis (Strata 1 and 2 only), with outcomes collected up to 5 years after study entry ]
      For patients with diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors (DAWT) (Strata 1 and 2), p53 from diagnostic tissue will be assessed, and rates of p53 mutations described overall and within each stratum. Degree of anaplasia as a predictor of p53 mutation status will be analyzed in logistic regression models, and association of p53 status with EFS and OS will be analyzed in Cox regression models, stratified by disease stage. Possible interactions between p53 mutation status and degree of anaplasia in outcome models will be explored.

    4. EFS for patients with gross total disease resection [ Time Frame: From study entry to the earliest of relapse or disease progression, second malignant neoplasm, or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after study enrollment ]
      EFS will be described for newly diagnosed disease stage 2-4 DAWT patients (Strata 1 and 2) and relapsed favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) patients (Strata 3 and 4) who have gross total disease resection prior to enrollment or at the time of delayed nephrectomy following adjuvant chemotherapy. Kaplan-Meier curves will be reported by strata with 95% confidence bands. Potential prognostic factors for these patients will be explored in Cox regression models.

    5. OS for patients with gross total disease resection [ Time Frame: From study entry to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years after study entry ]
      OS will be described for newly diagnosed disease stage 2-4 DAWT patients (Strata 1 and 2) and relapsed FHWT patients (Strata 3 and 4) who have gross total disease resection prior to enrollment or at the time of delayed nephrectomy following adjuvant chemotherapy. Kaplan-Meier curves will be reported by strata with 95% confidence bands. Potential prognostic factors for these patients will be explored in Cox regression models.

    6. Association of the number of nodes examined with EFS and OS [ Time Frame: Nodal information from upfront or delayed nephrectomy, with outcomes collected for up to 5 years after study entry ]
      The number of lymph nodes examined at the time of primary nephrectomy and number of positive nodes will be collected for all DAWT patients who enroll to Strata 1 or 2. The association of the number of nodes examined with EFS and OS will be explored in Cox regression models stratified by disease stage. For each of these analyses, association will be expressed either as a single hazard ratio if the effect is found to be linear, or as continuous functions on the hazard ratio scale if the effect is found to be non-linear. Similar models will be fit to examine the association between ratio of positive nodes to nodes examined and outcomes. Confidence intervals or bands will be reported for all quantities.

Will be estimated as the number of evaluable patients achieving stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) as their best objective response during treatment with protocol therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for clinical benefit rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.

    3. Clinical benefit rate for extracranial disease [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Will be estimated as the number of evaluable patients achieving stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) as their best objective response (per RECIST for extracranial disease) during treatment with protocol therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for clinical benefit rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.

    4. Duration of response for brain metastases [ Time Frame: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR for brain metastases until the first date that progressive CNS disease or death is documented, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Duration of response for brain metastases is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved a confirmed response as the time from the date at which the patient's objective status for brain metastases is first noted to be a CR or PR (per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology [RANO] for brain metastases) to the date of the earliest progressive CNS disease is documented or death. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    5. Duration of response for extracranial disease [ Time Frame: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR for extracranial disease until the first date that progressive disease for extracranial disease or death is documented, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Duration of response for extracranial disease is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved a confirmed response as the time from the date at which the patient's objective status for extranial disease is first noted to be a CR or PR (per RECIST1.1) to the date of the earliest progression (PD) for extracranial disease is documented or death. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    6. Progression-free survival (PFS) - intracranial [ Time Frame: From first day of study treatment to the earliest date documentation of intracranial disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Intracranial PFS is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of intracranial disease progression (per RANO for brain metastases) or death from any cause, whichever comes first. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    7. Progression-free survival (PFS) - extracranial [ Time Frame: From the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of documentation of extracranial disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Extracranial PFS is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of extracranial disease progression (per RECIST1.1) or death from any cause, whichever comes first. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    8. Site of first progression [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]
      The site of first progression will be estimated descriptively within each cohort within 12 and 24 months after starting protocol treatment. The first progression is defined as the first documented central nervous system (CNS) progression per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) or extracranial progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), whichever occurs first. The percentage of extracranial progression at first progression within 12 and 24 months after starting protocol treatment will be estimated as number of patients who experience the first progression which is extracranial progression divided by number of patients who are still at risk up to 12 and 24 months, respectively.

    Title: Improving Medication Adherence in Metastatic Breast Cancer Using a Connected Customized Treatment Platform (CONCURxP)

    Purpose: This clinical trial compares the use of the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP), consisting of using a medication monitoring device called WiseBag along with text message reminders for missed or extra medication events, to enhanced usual care (EUC), where patients only use the Wisebag, to monitor medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor. 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 medication non adherence. 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.

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Time to invasive or noninvasive IBTR. [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
      Time from randomization to any invasive or noninvasive IBTR or last follow-up (expressed as % IBTR-free)


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Percent of women with an intact index breast at report of the primary endpoint inclusive of salvage second breast conservation procedures. [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 15 years. ]
      Time from randomization to any breast procedure after the initial surgery or last follow-up (expressed as % with intact index breast)

    2. Time from randomization to the first occurrence of invasive ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence. [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
      Time from randomization to any invasive IBTR or last follow-up (expressed as percentage of invasive IBTR-free

      Time from randomization to any breast cancer recurrence at a local, regional or distant site or last follow-up (expressed as percentage of recurrence-free)

    4. Time from randomization to the first distant cancer event (either a recurrence or a secondary primary cancer). [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
      Time from randomization to any cancer occurring at a distant site or last follow-up (expressed as percentage of distant disease-free)

    5. Time from randomization to any death. [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
      Time from randomization to any death or last follow-up (expressed as percent surviving)

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2206

    Title: Phase III Trial of Neoadjuvant Durvalumab (NSC 778709) Plus Chemotherapy Versus Chemotherapy Alone for MammaPrint Ultrahigh (MP2) Hormone Receptor (HR) Positive / Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER2) Negative Stage II-III Breast Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the addition of an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to usual chemotherapy versus usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with MammaPrint Ultrahigh (MP2) stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. There is some evidence from previous clinical trials that people who have a MammaPrint Ultrahigh Risk result may be more likely to respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Adding durvalumab to usual chemotherapy may be able to prevent the cancer from returning for patients with MP2 stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: DCP-001

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    Title: Complementary Options for Symptom Management In Cancer (COSMIC): Assessing Benefits and Harms of Cannabis and Cannabinoid Use Among a Cohort of Cancer Patients Treated in Community Oncology Clinics

    Purpose: This is a multi-site clinical study enrolling 2000 newly diagnosed patients with breast, colorectal, melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or non-small cell lung cancer, who are planning to receive one or more systemic cancer directed therapies with chemotherapy and/or (immune checkpoint inhibitors) ICIs.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2417CD

    Title: A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of an Intervention Called Current Together After Cancer (CTAC) to Promote Guideline-Concordant Colorectal Cancer Surveillance

    Purpose: This phase III trial evaluates whether a web-based intervention called Current Together after Cancer (CTAC) works to increase the number of patients with surgically removed (resected) colorectal cancer who receive surveillance care that aligns with current guidelines (guideline-concordant). Surveillance care after resection of colorectal cancer is critical to detect potentially curable return of disease (recurrence), yet up to 60% of colorectal cancer survivors fail to receive surveillance. This may be due to a lack of knowledge about the purpose of surveillance care and the risks of cancer recurrence, or a lack of confidence for managing surveillance care. The CTAC intervention is an online education intervention designed to improve patients' knowledge about surveillance and their self-efficacy for managing surveillance, and to promote effective communication with supporters and supporter engagement in patients' surveillance in a way that is aligned with each patient's preferences. By increasing a patient's knowledge, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with their supporter's engagement in their care, the CTAC intervention may increase the number of patients who receive guideline-concordant surveillance care after resection of colorectal cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: CCTG-BR38

    Title: Consolidative Use of Radiotherapy to Block (CURB2) Oligoprogression In Patients With Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

    Purpose:

    This study is being done to answer the following question: Can the chance of lung cancer growing or spreading be lowered by adding targeted radiotherapy to the usual combination of drugs?

    This study is being done to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for lung cancer. The usual approach is defined as the care most people get for non-small cell lung cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-LU008

    Title: Phase III Prospective Randomized Trial of Primary Lung Tumor Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Followed by Concurrent Mediastinal Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to standard treatment (image guided radiation therapy [IGRT] and chemotherapy followed by immunotherapy with durvalumab) versus standard treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated by surgery (inoperable). SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. IGRT is a type of radiation that uses a computer to create picture of the tumor, to help guide the radiation beam during therapy, making it more accurate and causing less damage to healthy tissue. Standard chemotherapy used in this trial consists of combinations of the following drugs: cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, pemetrexed, and etoposide. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by blocking the action of a certain substance in the body that may help tumor cells multiply. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with durvalumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding SBRT to the standard treatment of IGRT with chemotherapy and immunotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer than giving the standard treatment alone.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1918

    Title: A Phase II/III Randomized Study of R-MiniCHOP With or Without CC-486 (Oral Azacitidine) in Participants Age 75 Years or Older With Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, Grade IIIB Follicular Lymphoma, Transformed Lymphoma, and High-Grade B-Cell Lymphomas With MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 Rearrangements

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial compares the side effects and activity of oral azacitidine in combination with the standard drug therapy (reduced dose rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone [R-miniCHOP]) versus R-miniCHOP alone in treating patients 75 years or older with newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. R-miniCHOP includes a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein), called rituximab, which attaches to the lymphoma cells and may help the immune system kill these cells. R-miniCHOP also includes prednisone which is an anti-inflammatory medication and a combination of 3 chemotherapy drugs, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and vincristine. These 3 chemotherapy drugs, as well as oral azacitidine, 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. Combining oral azacitidine with R-miniCHOP may shrink the cancer or extend the time without disease symptoms coming back or extend patient's survival when compared to R-miniCHOP alone.

      Patients alive without disease progression will be censored at date of last disease evaluation. Only deaths that occur within 3 months of the last disease evaluation are considered events.

    2. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    3. Incidence of grade 3 or higher non-hematologic adverse events [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    4. Incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse events [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    5. Best response [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    6. FACT-Ntx TOI recovery rate (Patient reported outcome [PRO]) [ Time Frame: From end of induction through consolidation up to 1 year of maintenance, up to 21 weeks ]

      Calculated as the difference after completion of 9 cycles of consolidation therapy from end of induction. Scores can range from a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 44. A higher score on this assessment means a worse outcome.

    2. Levels and changes of FACT-General (G) (physical well-being [PWB] + functional well-being [FWB]) score (PRO) [ Time Frame: From the end of induction through 1 year of maintenance, 21 weeks ]
      The FACT-G is a single outcome measure made up of the PWB and FWB components. Scores range from a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 56. For this assessment, a higher score means a better outcome.

    3. Presence, frequency, interference, amount and/or severity of select PRO- Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAEs) (PRO) [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]
      Presence, frequency, interference, amount and/or severity of select PRO-CTCAEs tabulated at each measurement.

    4. Comparison of selected PRO-CTCAEs with provider obtained assessment of same CTCAE items (PRO) [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]
    5. PRO compliance rate [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]
      Defined as the proportion of patients who submit the given PRO instrument among those eligible at each time point which excludes those missing by design (due to death or disease progression, early treatment discontinuation).

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-HN006

    Title: RANDOMIZED PHASE II/III TRIAL OF SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY VERSUS ELECTIVE NECK DISSECTION FOR EARLY-STAGE ORAL CAVITY CANCER

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Patient-reported neck and shoulder function (Phase II/III) [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Before surgery) to 6 months post-surgery ]
      Will be evaluated and compared using the Neck Dissection Impairment Index (NDII), a 10-item tool between the two treatment arms. It is assumed that a 7.5-point (change from Baseline to 6 months) between arm difference is clinically meaningful. The hypothesis of no between-arm difference in 6-month NDII scores will be tested using the ANCOVA model at one-sided significance level of 0.10. Point estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the mean NDII scores at 6 months for each treatment arm and for the between-arm difference at 6-months based on the proposed model will be provided.

    2. Disease-Free Survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to local/regional recurrence, distant metastasis, or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 11 years ]
      An event for disease-free survival is local recurrence, regional recurrence, distant metastasis, or death due to any cause. Disease-free survival time is randomization date to the date of event or last known follow-up (censoring). Rates will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and between-arm differences compared using the log-rank test.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to death due to any cause, assessed up to 11 years ]
      An event for overall survival is death due to any cause. Overall survival time is randomization date to date of event or last known follow-up (censoring). Rates will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and between-arm differences compared using the log-rank test.

    2. Loco-regional Failure [ Time Frame: From the time of randomization to the date of failure, date of precluding event, or last known follow-up date, assessed up to 11 years ]
      An event for local-regional failure is local or regional recurrence. Local-regional failure time is randomization date to date of event, precluding event, or last known follow-up (censoring). Rates will be estimated using the cumulative incidence method and between arm differences compared using cause-specific log-rank test.

    3. Distant metastasis [ Time Frame: From the time of randomization to the date of distant metastasis, date of precluding event, or last known follow-up date, assessed up to 11 years ]
      An event is the occurrence of distant metastasis. Distant metastasis time is randomization to date of event, precluding event, or last known follow-up (censoring). Rates will be estimated using the cumulative incidence method and between-arm differences compared using cause-specific log-rank test.

    4. Patient-reported shoulder-related QOL, function impairment and disability [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 weeks, 3, 6, 12 months post-surgery. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint. ]
      Patient reported using Abbreviated Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) with scores of 0-100. A higher score indicates greater disability.

    5. General quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 weeks, 3, 6, 12 months post-surgery. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint. ]
      Will be measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head and Neck (FACT-H&N) to measure Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head and Neck-Trial Outcome Index (FACT-TOI) scores on a scale from 0-96. A higher score indicates better quality of life.

    6. Nodal metastasis detection rate [ Time Frame: During surgery. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint. ]
      Defined as the proportion of patients with pathologic positive nodes using the pathology results.

    7. Pathologic false omission rate [ Time Frame: During surgery. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint. ]
      Measured within the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLN) arm only. Defined as the proportion of patients with false negative results among negative SLN patients.

    8. Post-surgery patient-reported outcome [ Time Frame: At 6 months post-surgery. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint. ]
      Measured by NDII in low-risk oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma patients using ANCOVA comparison model.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-HN014

    Title: Randomized Phase III Trial of Perioperative Immunotherapy With Response-Adapted Treatment Versus Standard-of-Care Treatment for Resectable Stage III/IV Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding cemiplimab to standard therapy (surgery with or without radiation) versus standard therapy alone in treating patients with stage III/IV squamous cell skin cancer that is able to be removed by surgery (resectable) and that may have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). The usual treatment for patients with resectable squamous cell skin cancer is the removal of the cancerous tissue (surgery) with or without radiation, which uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cemiplimab has been approved for the treatment of skin cancer that has spread or that cannot be removed by surgery, but it has not been approved for the treatment of skin cancer than can be removed by surgery. Adding cemiplimab to the usual treatment of surgery with or without radiation may be more effective in treating patients with stage III/IV resectable squamous cell skin cancer than the usual treatment alone.

Point estimates will be generated for systemic response rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.

    2. Clinical benefit rate for central nervous system (CNS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Evaluated by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria. Will be estimated as the number of evaluable patients achieving stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) as their best objective response during treatment with protocol therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for clinical benefit rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.

    3. Clinical benefit rate for extracranial disease [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Will be estimated as the number of evaluable patients achieving stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) as their best objective response (per RECIST for extracranial disease) during treatment with protocol therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for clinical benefit rates within each cohort with corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals.

    4. Duration of response for brain metastases [ Time Frame: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR for brain metastases until the first date that progressive CNS disease or death is documented, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Duration of response for brain metastases is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved a confirmed response as the time from the date at which the patient's objective status for brain metastases is first noted to be a CR or PR (per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology [RANO] for brain metastases) to the date of the earliest progressive CNS disease is documented or death. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    5. Duration of response for extracranial disease [ Time Frame: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR for extracranial disease until the first date that progressive disease for extracranial disease or death is documented, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Duration of response for extracranial disease is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved a confirmed response as the time from the date at which the patient's objective status for extranial disease is first noted to be a CR or PR (per RECIST1.1) to the date of the earliest progression (PD) for extracranial disease is documented or death. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    6. Progression-free survival (PFS) - intracranial [ Time Frame: From first day of study treatment to the earliest date documentation of intracranial disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Intracranial PFS is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of intracranial disease progression (per RANO for brain metastases) or death from any cause, whichever comes first. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    7. Progression-free survival (PFS) - extracranial [ Time Frame: From the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of documentation of extracranial disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Extracranial PFS is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the earliest date of extracranial disease progression (per RECIST1.1) or death from any cause, whichever comes first. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    8. Site of first progression [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]
      The site of first progression will be estimated descriptively within each cohort within 12 and 24 months after starting protocol treatment. The first progression is defined as the first documented central nervous system (CNS) progression per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) or extracranial progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), whichever occurs first. The percentage of extracranial progression at first progression within 12 and 24 months after starting protocol treatment will be estimated as number of patients who experience the first progression which is extracranial progression divided by number of patients who are still at risk up to 12 and 24 months, respectively.

    9. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From the first day of study treatment to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]
      Overall survival is defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to death due to any cause. The median and 95% confidence intervals are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    10. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
      Assessed per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, toxicity is defined as adverse events that are classified as possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment. Toxicities will be evaluated via the ordinal CTCAE standard toxicity grading. Overall toxicity incidence as well as toxicity profiles by patient and treatment cohort will be explored and summarized. Frequency distributions, graphical techniques and other descriptive measures will form the basis of the analysis. No formal comparison will be made among the cohorts.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EAQ221CD

    Title: Improving Medication Adherence in Metastatic Breast Cancer Using a Connected Customized Treatment Platform (CONCURxP)

    Purpose: This clinical trial compares the use of the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP), consisting of using a medication monitoring device called WiseBag along with text message reminders for missed or extra medication events, to enhanced usual care (EUC), where patients only use the Wisebag, to monitor medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor. 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 medication non adherence. 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.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2206

    Title: Phase III Trial of Neoadjuvant Durvalumab (NSC 778709) Plus Chemotherapy Versus Chemotherapy Alone for MammaPrint Ultrahigh (MP2) Hormone Receptor (HR) Positive / Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER2) Negative Stage II-III Breast Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the addition of an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to usual chemotherapy versus usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with MammaPrint Ultrahigh (MP2) stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. There is some evidence from previous clinical trials that people who have a MammaPrint Ultrahigh Risk result may be more likely to respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Adding durvalumab to usual chemotherapy may be able to prevent the cancer from returning for patients with MP2 stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: DCP-001

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1918

    Title: A Phase II/III Randomized Study of R-MiniCHOP With or Without CC-486 (Oral Azacitidine) in Participants Age 75 Years or Older With Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, Grade IIIB Follicular Lymphoma, Transformed Lymphoma, and High-Grade B-Cell Lymphomas With MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 Rearrangements

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial compares the side effects and activity of oral azacitidine in combination with the standard drug therapy (reduced dose rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone [R-miniCHOP]) versus R-miniCHOP alone in treating patients 75 years or older with newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. R-miniCHOP includes a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein), called rituximab, which attaches to the lymphoma cells and may help the immune system kill these cells. R-miniCHOP also includes prednisone which is an anti-inflammatory medication and a combination of 3 chemotherapy drugs, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and vincristine. These 3 chemotherapy drugs, as well as oral azacitidine, 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. Combining oral azacitidine with R-miniCHOP may shrink the cancer or extend the time without disease symptoms coming back or extend patient's survival when compared to R-miniCHOP alone.

      Patients alive without disease progression will be censored at date of last disease evaluation. Only deaths that occur within 3 months of the last disease evaluation are considered events.

    2. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    3. Incidence of grade 3 or higher non-hematologic adverse events [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    4. Incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse events [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    5. Best response [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    6. FACT-Ntx TOI recovery rate (Patient reported outcome [PRO]) [ Time Frame: From end of induction through consolidation up to 1 year of maintenance, up to 21 weeks ]
      Defined as the proportion of patients with the FACT-Ntx TOI score returning to baseline level reached at consolidation randomization after experiencing a MID decrease while on up to 1 year of maintenance.


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. Change in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Neurotoxicity Trial Outcome Index (FACT-Ntx TOI) score (Patient reported outcome) [ Time Frame: From end of induction to after completion of 9 cycles of consolidation, a period of approximately 36 weeks (9 months) ]
      Calculated as the difference after completion of 9 cycles of consolidation therapy from end of induction. Scores can range from a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 44. A higher score on this assessment means a worse outcome.

    2. Levels and changes of FACT-General (G) (physical well-being [PWB] + functional well-being [FWB]) score (PRO) [ Time Frame: From the end of induction through 1 year of maintenance, 21 weeks ]
      The FACT-G is a single outcome measure made up of the PWB and FWB components. Scores range from a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 56. For this assessment, a higher score means a better outcome.

    Purpose:

    TRIAL NUMBER: ANBL1232

    Title: Utilizing Response- and Biology-Based Risk Factors to Guide Therapy in Patients with Non-High-Risk Neuroblastoma; A Groupwide Historically-Controlled Phase III Study

    Purpose: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
    I. To eliminate therapy as the initial approach for infants < 12 months of age with small International Neuroblastoma Risk Group (INRG) stage L1 neuroblastoma while maintaining an overall survival (OS) of 99%.
    II. To eliminate therapy as the initial approach for non-high-risk patients < 18 months of age with localized neuroblastoma and favorable biology (histologic and genomic features) while maintaining an OS of 99%.
    III. To achieve a 3-year OS of > 81% for infants < 18 months of age with INRG stage Ms neuroblastoma using objective criteria for early initiation of a response-based treatment algorithm.
    IV. To achieve a 3-year event free survival (EFS) of > 70% for non-high-risk infants < 12 months of age with INRG stage M neuroblastoma and unfavorable biology (histologic and/or genomic features) through the addition of isotretinoin therapy.
    SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
    I. To describe the time to intervention or tumor progression, type of intervention and site of progression for patients with localized neuroblastoma who experience progression after an initial period of observation.
    II. To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of the chemotherapeutic agents carboplatin and etoposide in patients with stage Ms disease.
    III. To define the genomic profile of tumors from patients with non-high-risk neuroblastoma both at initial biopsy and at the time of subsequent biopsy or surgical resection.
    IV. To describe the histology of tumor specimens obtained at the time of subsequent biopsy or surgical resection.
    V. To determine the salvage rate (OS) of patients with tumor relapse or disease progression.
    VI. To determine the procedural complication rate (initial biopsy, resection [intraoperative and postoperative], subsequent biopsy) and correlate with the degree of surgical resection.
    VII. To determine the rate of reduction in image defined risk factors (IDRF) in L2 tumors following observation or chemotherapy.
    VIII. To describe bone abnormalities on bilateral tibial radiographs obtained before and after isotretinoin therapy.
    IX. To determine the variability of isotretinoin pharmacokinetics and relationship to pharmacogenomic parameters and determine if these levels and/or genetic variations correlate with EFS or systemic toxicity.
    OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups.
    GROUP A: Patients undergo clinical observation for 96 weeks.
    GROUP B: Patients undergo clinical observation for 3 years in the absence of disease progression. Upon disease progression, patients undergo surgery or receive first-line chemotherapy comprising carboplatin intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day 1 (courses 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7), etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3 (courses 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7), cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on day 1 (courses 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8), and doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes on day 1 (courses 2, 4, 6 and 8). Treatment with chemotherapy repeats every 21 days for 2-8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Once a partial response (PR) or better is achieved, patients undergo clinical observation for 3 years.
    GROUP C: Patients at high risk for deterioration and a poor outcome immediately receive first-line chemotherapy as in Group B. All other patients undergo clinical observation for 3 years in the absence of disease progression. Upon disease progression, patients receive first-line chemotherapy as in Group B. Once a PR or better is achieved, patients undergo clinical observation for 3 years.
    GROUP D: Patients receive first-line chemotherapy as in Group B. Patients who achieve a complete response (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR) following first-line chemotherapy receive isotretinoin orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-14. Treatment with isotretinoin repeats every 28 days for 6 courses. Patients then undergo clinical observation for 3 years. Patients who achieve a PR or stable disease (SD) following first-line chemotherapy receive salvage chemotherapy comprising cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes and topotecan hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment with salvage chemotherapy repeats every 21 days for 2-6 courses. Patients then receive isotretinoin PO BID on days 1-14. Treatment with isotretinoin repeats every 28 days for 6 courses. Patients then undergo clinical observation for 3 years.
    After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up annually for 5 years.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A012103

    Title: OptimICE-PCR: De-Escalation of Therapy in Early-Stage TNBC Patients Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

    Purpose: The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic 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 in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A012303

    Title: ShortStop-HER2: Shortened Duration of Adjuvant Therapy in Patients With Early-Stage HER2+ Breast Cancer Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With HER2 Blockade

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares 6 months of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapy to 12 months of HER2-targeted therapy for the treatment of HER2-positive (+) breast cancer in patients that had a pathologic complete response (pCR) after preoperative (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy with trastuzumab. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to a receptor protein called HER2. HER2 is found on some cancer cells. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Giving 6 months of HER2-targeted therapy may work better than giving 12 months for the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer in patients that had a pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab.

    Title: A Randomized Phase III Trial of Adjuvant Therapy Comparing Doxorubicin Plus Cyclophosphamide Followed by Weekly Paclitaxel With or Without Carboplatin for Node-Positive or High-Risk Node-Negative Triple-Negative Invasive Breast Cancer

    Purpose: This randomized phase III trial studies how well doxorubicin hydrochloride and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel with or without carboplatin work in treating patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether doxorubicin hydrochloride and cyclophosphamide is more effective when followed by paclitaxel alone or paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating triple-negative breast cancer.

    Title: A Phase III Adjuvant Trial Evaluating the Addition of Adjuvant Chemotherapy to Ovarian Function Suppression Plus Endocrine Therapy in Premenopausal Patients With pN0-1, ER-Positive/HER2-Negative Breast Cancer and an Oncotype Recurrence Score Less Than or Equal to 25 (OFSET)

    Purpose: This Phase III Trial will determine whether adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) added to ovarian function suppression (OFS) plus endocrine therapy (ET) is superior to OFS plus ET in improving invasive breast cancer-free survival (IBCFS) among premenopausal, early- stage breast cancer (EBC) patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative tumors and 21-gene recurrence score (RS) between 16-25 (for pN0 patients) and 0-25 (for pN1 patients).

    TRIAL NUMBER: ALTE11C2

    Title: HEALTH EFFECTS AFTER ANTHRACYCLINE AND RADIATION THERAPY (HEART): DEXRAZOXANE AND PREVENTION OF ANTHRACYCLINE-RELATED CARDIOMYOPATHY

    Purpose: Given the critical role anthracyclines have in many effective cancer treatments and the risk for subsequent cardiotoxicity associated with this class of agents, development of an effective cardioprotective strategy is of great importance. Although adult studies have shown that dexrazoxane (DRZ) is effective in minimizing cardiomyopathy/heart failure (CHF) after anthracycline therapy, short and long-term data in children are much more limited. Furthermore, concerns regarding DRZ's interaction with cancer therapies and possible association with an increased risk of second cancers have limited its use among children despite possible protection against premature CHF. To address these gaps in knowledge, using a cross-sectional study design, we propose to ascertain echocardiographic and serum biomarkers of cardiac injury in a cohort of long-term pediatric T-cell leukemia and Hodgkin lymphoma survivors enrolled on 3 front-line Children's Oncology Group (COG) clinical trials (POG 9404, 9425, 9426) between 1996-2001 that featured upfront DRZ randomization and a range of anthracycline exposures commonly used in contemporary therapy (100-360 mg/m2 doxorubicin). Our primary aim will be to determine whether patients randomized to the experimental DRZ arms have decreased markers of myocardial injury compared with patients treated without DRZ. Specifically, this will include a one-time measurement of an echocardiographic index of pathologic left ventricular (LV) remodeling (wall thickness-dimension ratio), complemented by serum biomarkers and a physical examination for signs and symptoms of CHF. We will also evaluate whether DRZ's cardioprotective effect is modified by anthracycline dose, chest radiation, and selected demographic factors (age at cancer diagnosis, current age, sex). In secondary analysis, we will also update the overall- and event-free survival rates between patients on the DRZ and non-DRZ arms. Finally, we will determine whether projected quality-adjusted life years differed by randomization status, accounting for premature cardiac disease, primary disease relapse, and second cancers.

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    Title: The Janus Rectal Cancer Trial: A Randomized Phase II Trial Testing The Efficacy of Triplet Versus Doublet Chemotherapy to Achieve Clinical Complete Response in Patients With Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

    Purpose: This phase II trial compares the effect of irinotecan versus oxaliplatin after long-course chemoradiation in patients with stage II-III rectal cancer. Combination chemotherapy drugs, such as FOLFIRINOX (fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin), FOLFOX (leucovorin, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan ), and CAPOX (capecitabin and oxaliplatin) work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. FOLFOX or CAPOX are used after chemoradiation as usual treatment for rectal cancer. Giving FOLFIRINOX after chemoradiation may increase the response rate and lead to higher rates of clinical complete response (with a chance of avoiding surgery) compared to FOLFOX or CAPOX after chemoradiation in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

    Title: Randomized Phase II/III Trial of 2nd Line Nivolumab + Paclitaxel + Ramucirumab Versus Paclitaxel + Ramucirumab in Patients With PD-L1 CPS >/= 1 Advanced Gastric and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (PARAMMUNE)

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial compares the addition of nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab to paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with gastric or esophageal adenocarcinoma that that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Adding nivolumab to ramucirumab and paclitaxel may work better to treat patients with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AALL1732

    Title: A Phase 3 Randomized Trial of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (NSC#: 772518) for Newly Diagnosed High-Risk B-ALL; Risk-Adapted Post-Induction Therapy for High-Risk B-ALL, Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia, and Disseminated B-LLy

    Purpose:

    This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, methotrexate, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, prednisone, thioguanine, vincristine, and pegaspargase 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. This trial will also study the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and disseminated B lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with high-risk ALL chemotherapy.

    The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first two phases of therapy: Induction and Consolidation. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, in order to classify patients into post-consolidation treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance I, delayed intensification, interim maintenance II, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. Other aims of this study include investigating whether treating both males and females with the same duration of chemotherapy maintains outcomes for males who have previously been treated for an additional year compared to girls, as well as to evaluate the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

    Title: A PHASE III TRIAL TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY OF THE ADDITION OF INOTUZUMAB OZOGAMICIN (A CONJUGATED ANTI-CD22 MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY) TO FRONTLINE THERAPY IN YOUNG ADULTS (AGES 18-39 YEARS) WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED PRECURSOR B-CELL ALL

    Purpose: Primary Outcome Measures : EFS [ Time Frame: Time from induction response to the time of progressive-disease, secondary malignancy, or death, assessed up to 3 years ] Will be compared using log-rank tests. EFS curves will be constructed using the Kaplan-Meier product limit method, and additional analyses will be done using the Cox proportional hazards model. The corresponding hazard ratio, 2- and 3-year EFS estimates will be assessed, and EFS medians along with their 95% confidence intervals for the two treatment arms.

    Secondary Outcome Measures : DFS [ Time Frame: Time from achievement of CR to the time of relapse and/or death, assessed up to 10 years ] OS [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the time of death due to any cause, assessed up to 10 years ] Will be evaluated using Kaplan-Meier as well as Cox regression models.
    Proportion of patients who achieve CR or any response to induction therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be summarized as the proportion of patients who achieve any type of response to induction therapy divided by the number of all evaluable patients registered to this trial and who received at least one dose of induction therapy. Corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals will also be calculated.
    Overall induction response rates [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be summarized as the proportion of patients who achieve any type of response to induction therapy divided by the number of all evaluable patients registered to this trial and who received at least one dose of induction therapy. Corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals will also be calculated.
    Incidence of adverse events as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns. In addition, all adverse event data that is graded as 3, 4, or 5 will be reviewed and classified as either "unrelated" or "unlikely to be related" to study treatment in the event of an actual relationship developing. The incidence of severe (grade 3+) adverse events or toxicities will be described for each treatment arm, but will also be compared between the arms. Fisher's exact tests will be used to quantitatively compare the incidence of severe as well as specific toxicities of interest between the treatment arms and we will graphically assess differences in maximum grades observed for toxicities between the arms. Tolerability of the treatment arms will be assessed through assessing the number of patients who required dose modifications and/or dose delays.
    Proportion of patients who go off treatment due to adverse reactions [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed within each of the treatment arms and differences explores in these measures between the arms.
    Proportion of patients who refuse further treatment for lesser toxicities that inhibit their willingness to continue participation on the trial [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed within each of the treatment arms and differences explores in these measures between the arms.

    Title: A Randomized Trial of Levocarnitine Prophylaxis to Prevent Asparaginase-Associated Hepatotoxicity in Adolescents and Young Adults Receiving Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Therapy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding levocarnitine to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in protecting the liver in patients with leukemia and lymphoma. Standard of care chemotherapy treatment for leukemia and lymphoma includes a type of chemotherapy named asparaginase, given either as the drug pegaspargase, or a similar drug, calaspargase pegol. This type of chemotherapy can cause severe liver damage. Levocarnitine is a drug used to provide extra carnitine, a naturally occurring nutrient that is part of a typical diet and is also made by the body. Carnitine is important to keep the liver healthy and may be able to prevent damage to the liver from chemotherapy and other drugs. Taking levocarnitine may reduce the rate of severe liver damage caused by asparaginase chemotherapy in patients with leukemia and lymphoma.

    Purpose: This study aims to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen for patient eligibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials. Testing bone marrow and blood from patients with leukemia that has come back after treatment or is difficult to treat may provide information about the patient's leukemia that is important when deciding how to best treat it, and may help doctors find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia in children, adolescents, and young adults.

    TRIAL NUMBER: E1910

    Title: A Phase III Randomized Trial of Blinatumomab for Newly Diagnosed BCR-ABL-Negative B Lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Adults

    Purpose: This randomized phase III trial studies combination chemotherapy with blinatumomab to see how well it works compared to induction chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-c-abl oncogene 1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase (ABL)-negative B lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without blinatumomab in treating newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

    3. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
      The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be summarized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5. The frequency and percentage of grade 3+ adverse events will be compared between the 2 experimental treatment arms and the control as well as between the two experimental arms. We will also compare the rate of drug discontinuation due to adverse events between the experimental treatment arms and control, and between the two experimental arms. Comparisons between arms will be made by using the Chi-square test. Analysis of the overall adverse event rates, as well as specific events of interest will involve Chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests.

    4. DFS between each experimental pembrolizumab plus standard of care arms vs. standard of care by PD-L1 expression status [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]
      Univariable and multivariable Cox models stratified by the stratification factors used in the randomization will be used as the primary analytical method, where all baseline covariates will be considered in the univariable models and subsequently in the multivariable models based on the criteria for selection for the multivariable models.

    5. OS between each experimental pembrolizumab plus standard of care arms vs. standard of care by PD-L1 expression status [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 8 years after accrual completion ]

    Title: Pragmatica-Lung: A Prospective Randomized Study of Ramucirumab (LY3009806; NSC 749128) Plus Pembrolizumab (MK-3475; NSC 776864) Versus Standard of Care for Participants Previously Treated With Immunotherapy for Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of the combination of ramucirumab and pembrolizumab versus standard of care chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. 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. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial may help doctors find out if giving ramucirumab with pembrolizumab is more effective at treating patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer than standard chemotherapy.

    Title: A Randomized Phase 3 Interim Response Adapted Trial Comparing Standard Therapy With Immuno-Oncology Therapy for Children and Adults With Newly Diagnosed Stage I and II Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding immunotherapy (brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab) to standard treatment (chemotherapy with or without radiation) to the standard treatment alone in improving survival in patients with stage I and II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is made of a monoclonal antibody called brentuximab that is linked to a cytotoxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive lymphoma cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, dacarbazine, and procarbazine hydrochloride 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. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding immunotherapy to the standard treatment of chemotherapy with or without radiation may increase survival and/or fewer short-term or long-term side effects in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma compared to the standard treatment alone.

    Title: A Randomized Phase 3 Trial of Nivolumab (NSC# 748726) in Combination With Chemo-Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effects of nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy versus chemo-immunotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Treatment for PMBCL involves chemotherapy combined with an immunotherapy called rituximab. Chemotherapy drugs 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. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy may help treat patients with PMBCL.

    Title: A RANDOMIZED PHASE III TRIAL COMPARING CONVENTIONAL-DOSE CHEMOTHERAPY USING PACLITAXEL, IFOSFAMIDE, AND CISPLATIN (TIP) WITH HIGH-DOSE CHEMOTHERAPY USING MOBILIZING PACLITAXEL PLUS IFOSFAMIDE FOLLOWED BY HIGH-DOSE CARBOPLATIN AND ETOPOSIDE (TI-CE) AS FIRST SALVAGE TREATMENT IN RELAPSED OR REFRACTORY GERM CELL TUMORS

    Purpose: The study is an international collaboration with European sites. Collaborators on the study include the National Cancer Institute, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer and the Movember Foundation. Randomization will be stratified by region (North America and Europe) and by modified IPFSG (International Prognostic Factor Study Group) risk classification (low, intermediate and high). The primary and secondary objectives are described below.
    Primary Objective:
    1. To compare the overall survival in patients treated with conventional-dose chemotherapy using the TIP regimen with high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) plus autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) using the TI-CE regimen as initial salvage treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory germ cell tumors (GCT)
    Secondary Objectives: 1.To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients treated with initial salvage HDCT with TI-CE versus initial salvage CDCT with TIP 2.To compare the favorable response rate (FRR) of patients treated with initial salvage HDCT with TI-CE versus initial salvage CDCT with TIP 3.To compare the toxicity, including treatment-related mortality, associated with high-dose chemotherapy and ASCT using TI-CE compared with conventional-dose chemotherapy using TIP as initial salvage treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory GCT 4.To prospectively evaluate the IPFSG scoring system as a predictor of outcome to initial salvage therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory GCT. In this trial, randomization will be stratified by a modification of their IPFSG category and we will prospectively evaluate whether or not actual outcomes vary by risk group in the appropriate manner (low risk patients have higher OS than high-risk group). 5.To evaluate the association between tumor marker decline rates of Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) with OS and PFS.
    Treatment is to continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or completion of all protocol treatment.

    Title: Phase 3 Accelerated BEP Trial: A randomised phase 3 trial of accelerated versus standard BEP chemotherapy for patients with intermediate and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours

    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether accelerated BEP chemotherapy is more effective than standard BEP chemotherapy in males 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 rates and were more toxic than BEP. New strategies are needed for patients with intermediate and poor-risk disease. BEP is accelerated by cycling Cisplatin and etoposide 2-weekly instead of 3-weekly. The Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group (ANZUP) is conducting a trial comparing accelerated BEP with standard BEP. The aim of this study is to determine if accelerated BEP is superior to standard BEP as first-line chemotherapy for intermediate and poor risk metastatic GCTs.

    Title: Internet-delivered Management of Pain Among Cancer Treatment Survivors (IMPACTS)

    Purpose:

    To determine whether an Internet-based pain coping skills program plus enhanced usual care, compared to enhanced usual care alone, yields significant improvements in the co-primary outcomes of pain severity (as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)) and pain interference (also measured by the BPI) from baseline to the post-intervention assessment for cancer survivors with persistent pain.

    This is a parallel group randomized controlled, prospective study that examines the effect of an Internet-based pain coping skills program on pain severity and pain interference among adult cancer survivors experiencing persistent cancer-related pain. The study also explores the effects of an Internet-based pain coping skills program on opioid/analgesic medication use, health-related quality of life, pain management self-efficacy and various other factors relevant among populations with persistent pain (i.e., fatigue, sleep, emotional distress, positive affect, pain impact, perceived cognitive problems, and cognitive performance), as well as qualitative assessments of participants experiences with pain and the intervention. A total of 456 participants will be enrolled (228 per arm) and randomized into the internet program arm (plus enhanced usual care) or Enhanced Usual Care alone.

    Each participant will be enrolled in the study for 9 months (from randomization at week 0 to the final follow-up assessment at week 34).

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1912CD

    Title: A Randomized Trial Addressing Cancer-Related Financial Hardship Through Delivery of a Proactive Financial Navigation Intervention (CREDIT)

    Purpose: This clinical trial examines a financial navigation program in helping patients and their spouses understand and better manage the financial aspects of cancer care. Cancer patients and their spouses may be at high risk for financial problems because of the cost of cancer treatment. A financial navigator is a person or team who work with patients and their families to help them reduce stress or hardship related to the cost of cancer treatment. Financial navigators help patients understand their out-of-pocket expenses and what their health insurance plans may cover. Financial navigation may also help patients set up payment plans, find cost-saving methods for treatments, and improve access to healthcare services that the patient needs. Providing financial navigation to patients may help reduce financial worries and improve quality of life.

    Title: RANDOMIZED PHASE III TRIAL INCORPORATING ABIRATERONE ACETATE WITH PREDNISONE AND APALUTAMIDE AND ADVANCED IMAGING INTO SALVAGE TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS WITH NODE-POSITIVE PROSTATE CANCER AFTER RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY

    Purpose:

    TRIAL NUMBER: URCC-22053

    Title: High-dose Vitamin D Supplementation for ADT-Induced Bone Loss in Older Prostate Cancer Patients

    Purpose: This phase III trial tests whether high-dose vitamin D works in treating androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT)-induced bone loss in patients with prostate cancer who are undergoing androgen-deprivation therapy. Vitamins are substances that the body needs to grow and develop normally. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. Calcium is one of the main building blocks of bone. A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone diseases such as osteoporosis or rickets. This trial may help researcher determine if high-dose vitamin D helps keep bones strong, lowers number of falls, and lessens fatigue in men getting androgen-deprivation therapy.

    Other Outcome Measures: Other biomarkers as predictors of response to ulixertinib and whether tumors that harbor different mutations or fusions will demonstrate differential response to treatment [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ] Will be performed and will be summarized with simple summary statistics. All of these analyses will be descriptive in nature.
    Profiling changes in tumor genomics over time through evaluation of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ] Will be performed and will be summarized with simple summary statistics. All of these analyses will be descriptive in nature.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EAY191

    Title: Molecular Analysis for Combination Therapy Choice (ComboMATCH)

    Purpose: This ComboMATCH patient registration trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A032103

    Title: MODERN: An Integrated Phase 2/3 and Phase 3 Trial of MRD-Based Optimization of ADjuvant ThErapy in URothelial CaNcer

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial tests the role of DNA released from tumor cells into the blood in guiding the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab alone or with relatlimab) after surgical removal of the bladder for bladder cancer treatment. DNA is material found inside all of our cells that acts as a blueprint for how cells function. Tumor cells often have abnormal DNA that looks different than DNA in normal cells. A new test called Signatera has been developed that can detect bladder cancer DNA in the blood which might indicate the presence of bladder tumor cells somewhere in the body. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Relatlimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help doctors determine if the Signatera test can better identify which patients need an additional treatment with immunotherapy to help prevent bladder cancer from coming back after surgery.

    TRIAL NUMBER: ALTE2321

    Title: Walking Juntos: Developing and Testing a Culturally-Tailored Mobile Health and Social Media Physical Activity Intervention Among Adolescent and Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

    Purpose: This clinical trial tests the impact of a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program on physical fitness in Hispanic or Latino/Latina adolescent and young adult (AYA) childhood cancer survivors. After treatment for cancer, some AYA survivors experience long-term effects from the cancer and its treatment including weight gain, fatigue and decreased physical fitness. Hispanic or Latino/Latina survivors may have a higher risk of these effects compared to non-Hispanics. Regular physical activity helps maintain healthy weight, energy levels and overall health. Participating in a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program may help increase physical activity in Hispanic or Latino/Latina AYA childhood cancer survivors.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A012103

    Title: OptimICE-PCR: De-Escalation of Therapy in Early-Stage TNBC Patients Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

    Purpose: The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic 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 in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A012303

    Title: ShortStop-HER2: Shortened Duration of Adjuvant Therapy in Patients With Early-Stage HER2+ Breast Cancer Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With HER2 Blockade

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares 6 months of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapy to 12 months of HER2-targeted therapy for the treatment of HER2-positive (+) breast cancer in patients that had a pathologic complete response (pCR) after preoperative (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy with trastuzumab. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to a receptor protein called HER2. HER2 is found on some cancer cells. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Giving 6 months of HER2-targeted therapy may work better than giving 12 months for the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer in patients that had a pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab.

    Purpose: To assess if (i) the incidence of ctDNA positivity in stage II/III R+/HER2- breast cancer patients who are receiving standard of care adjuvant endocrine therapy, (ii) and assess if treatment with palbociclib and fulvestrant improves relapse-free survival (RFS) compared to continued standard of care adjuvant endocrine therapy for stage II/III, ER+/HER2- breast cancer in patients with detectable circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in their blood without imaging evidence of metastatic disease. 

    TRIAL NUMBER: EAQ221CD

    Title: Improving Medication Adherence in Metastatic Breast Cancer Using a Connected Customized Treatment Platform (CONCURxP)

    Purpose: This clinical trial compares the use of the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP), consisting of using a medication monitoring device called WiseBag along with text message reminders for missed or extra medication events, to enhanced usual care (EUC), where patients only use the Wisebag, to monitor medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor. 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 medication non adherence. 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.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2206

    Title: Phase III Trial of Neoadjuvant Durvalumab (NSC 778709) Plus Chemotherapy Versus Chemotherapy Alone for MammaPrint Ultrahigh (MP2) Hormone Receptor (HR) Positive / Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER2) Negative Stage II-III Breast Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the addition of an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to usual chemotherapy versus usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with MammaPrint Ultrahigh (MP2) stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. There is some evidence from previous clinical trials that people who have a MammaPrint Ultrahigh Risk result may be more likely to respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Adding durvalumab to usual chemotherapy may be able to prevent the cancer from returning for patients with MP2 stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2212

    Title: Shorter Anthracycline-Free Chemo Immunotherapy Adapted to Pathological Response in Early Triple Negative Breast Cancer (SCARLET), A Randomized Phase III Study

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effects of shorter chemotherapy (chemo)-immunotherapy without anthracyclines to usual chemo-immunotherapy for the treatment of early-stage triple negative breast cancer. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called anti-microtubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Doxorubicin is an anthracycline chemotherapy drug that damages DNA and may kill cancer cells. Pembrolizumab may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Shorter treatment without anthracycline chemotherapy may work the same as the usual anthracycline chemotherapy treatment for early-stage triple negative breast cancer.

    Title: A PROSPECTIVE LOW-INTERVENTIONAL PHASE 4 SINGLE ARM STUDY OF OCULAR ASSESSMENTS IN PATIENTS TREATED WITH TIVDAK® IN RECURRENT OR METASTATIC CERVICAL CANCER

    Purpose:

    TIVDAK is used for the treatment of cervical cancer that has come back after chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses medicines to stop the growth of cancer cells. This is done either by killing the cells or by stopping them from growing. The purpose of this study is to learn about possible side effects of TIVDAK, specially to any side effect that is related to the eye. A side effect is anything a medicine does to your body that is not part of how the medicine treats disease.

    • This study is seeking for participants who: Are willing to take all the required eye tests
    • Have not received TIVDAK before
    • Do not have any active eye issues.

    Participants will receive TIVDAK once every 3 weeks as an infusion that will be injected into the vein. Participants will visit an eye care provider at 3 stages:

    • before starting the treatment,
    • before each of the first 9 infusions
    • then monthly for 3 months after they stop taking TIVDAK. Treatment with TIVDAK will continue until it is not working anymore against the participant's cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: DCP-001

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2012

    Title: Randomized Phase II/III Trial of First Line Platinum/Etoposide With or Without Atezolizumab (NSC#783608) in Patients With Poorly Differentiated Extrapulmonary Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (NEC)

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial compares the effect of immunotherapy with atezolizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus standard therapy alone for the treatment of poorly differentiated extrapulmonary (originated outside the lung) small cell neuroendocrine cancer. The other aim of this trial is to compare using atezolizumab just at the beginning of treatment versus continuing it beyond the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cisplatin and carboplatin are in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds that work by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill cancer cells. Giving atezolizumab in combination with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide may work better in treating patients with poorly differentiated extrapulmonary small cell neuroendocrine cancer compared to standard therapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide alone.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A022102

    Title: Randomized Phase III Trial of mFOLFIRINOX vs. FOLFOX With Nivolumab for First-Line Treatment of Metastatic HER2- Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFIRINOX) to modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) for the treatment of advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2 negative esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, and gastric adenocarcinoma. The usual approach for patients is treatment with FOLFOX chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Fluorouracil stops cells from making DNA and it may kill tumor cells. Leucovorin is used with fluorouracil to enhance the effects of the drug. Oxaliplatin works by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Some patients also receive an immunotherapy drug, nivolumab, in addition to FOLFOX chemotherapy. Immunotherapy may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Irinotecan blocks certain enzymes needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill tumor cells. Adding irinotecan to the FOLFOX regimen could shrink the cancer and extend the life of patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancers.

    Title: A NON-RANDOMIZED PROSPECTIVE CLINICAL TRIAL COMPARING THE NON-INFERIORITY OF SALPINGECTOMY TO SALPINGO-OOPHORECTOMY TO REDUCE THE RISK OF OVARIAN CANCER AMONG BRCA1 CARRIERS [SOROCk]

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Time to development of incident high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC), specifically ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancers [ Time Frame: Up to 20 years ]
      Will be assessed using a stratified log rank test, stratifying for age. The effects of other covariates, such as familial history of gynecologic cancer, time to crossover for bilateral salpingectomy (BLS) patients, and age at study entry, will be adjusted for in Cox proportional hazard models. Patients who crossover will be analyzed according to the initial surgery received at study enrollment as this will reflect actual practice.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Health-related quality of life (QOL) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Endocrine Symptom (FACT-ES). The FACT total score (calculated from the physical, functional, social and emotional well-being subscales) and ES subscale will be assessed. Higher scores indicate better QOL for the FACT-ES and better functioning for the FSFI total score.

    2. Estrogen deprivation symptoms [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the FACT-ES. The FACT total score (calculated from the physical, functional, social and emotional well-being subscales) and ES subscale will be assessed. Higher scores indicate better QOL for the FACT-ES and better functioning for the FSFI total score.

    3. Sexual dysfunction [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Higher scores indicate better functioning for the FSFI total score.

    4. Menopausal symptoms [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Menopausal Symptom Checklist (MSCL).

    5. Cancer distress [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Impact of Events Scale (IES).

    6. Medical decision making [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Shared Decision Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-9) to determin factors associated with the risk of reducing surgical treatment choice. The SDM-Q-9 total score at each time point of collection will be compared between arms using a t-test with a significance level of 0.05. A linear model will be used to assess the association of the SDM-Q-9 total score with treatment arm and patient characteristics such as age and race.

    7. Medical decision making [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Decisional Regret Scale to determine factor associated with the risk of reducing surgical treatment choice. The Decisional Regret Scale total score at each time point of collection will be compared between arms using a t-test with a significance level of 0.05. A linear model will be used to assess the association of the Decisional Regret Scale total score with treatment arm and patient characteristics such as age, race, crossover from BLS arm, and hysterectomy status.

    8. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0. Counts and frequencies will be provided for the worst grade adverse event (AE) experienced by the patient by treatment arm. The distribution of AE grade in the BLS arm will be compared to the BSO arm using a chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test if cell frequencies are < 5, at the one-sided 0.05 significance level.


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. Cost effectiveness [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by European Quality of Life Five Dimension Five Level Scale Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). A Markov model will be used to model cost.

    2. Sexual dysfunction by PROMIS screener [ Time Frame: Up to 20 years ]
      Will be measured by selected Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) screener. Each item will be analyzed separately and compared between treatment arms using a chi-square test.

    3. Section dysfunction by PROMIS external sexual function items [ Time Frame: Up to 20 years ]
      Will be measured by selected PROMIS external sexual function items. Each item will be analyzed separately and compared between treatment arms using a chi-square test.

    4. Correlation between Health related (HR)-QOL and patient reported symptoms. [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will examine the correlation between HR-QOL, as measured by the FACT, with menopausal symptoms, as measured by the MCL, sexual dysfunction, as measured by FSFI, and PROMIS screener and external sexual function items and cancer distress as measured by the IES. Pearson correlation coefficients will be used for correlating the FACT total score with the FSFI overall score and IES total distress score. Spearman correlation coefficients will be used to assess the correlation between FACT total score and the MSCL symptoms, FSFI, and PROMIS items.

    Title: A Phase III Trial of the Impact of Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping on Patient Reported Lower Extremity Limb Dysfunction in Endometrial Cancer

    Purpose:

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GY026

    Title: A Phase II/III Study of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Alone or Combined With Either Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-Oysk (HERCEPTIN HYLECTA) or Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, and Hyaluronidase-Zzxf (PHESGO) in HER2 Positive, Stage I-IV Endometrial Serous Carcinoma or Carcinosarcoma

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin HylectaTM) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (PhesgoTM) to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep pertuzumab and trastuzumab in the body longer, so that these medications will have a greater effect. Hyaluronidase also allows trastuzumab and trastuzumab/pertuzumab to be given by injection under the skin and shortens their administration time compared to trastuzumab or pertuzumab alone. Paclitaxel is a taxane and in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may shrink the tumor and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma.

    Title: A Phase III Trial of One vs. Two Years of Maintenance Olaparib, With or Without Bevacizumab, in Patients With BRCA1/2 Mutated or Homologous Recombination Deficient (HRD+) Ovarian Cancer Following Response to First Line Platinum Based Chemotherapy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of olaparib for one year versus two years, with or without bevacizumab, for the treatment of BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Olaparib is a polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving olaparib for one year with or without bevacizumab may be effective in treating patients with BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer, when compared to two years of olaparib.

    Title: EA3132:Phase II Randomized Trial of Radiotherapy with or Without Cisplatin for Surgically Resected Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) with TP53 Sequencing

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy with or without cisplatin works in treating patients with stage III-IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have undergone surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without cisplatin in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

    Title: Perioperative Versus Adjuvant Systemic Therapy in Patients With Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - PROSPECT LUNG

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares standard therapy given after surgery (adjuvant) to standard therapy given before and after surgery (perioperative) in treating patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be removed by surgery (resectable). The usual approach for patients with resectable NSCLC is chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy before surgery, after surgery, or both before and after surgery. This study is being done to find out which approach is better at treating patients with lung cancer. Treatment will be administered according to the current standard of care at the time of enrollment. Chemotherapy options may include cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed, gemcitabine, docetaxel, and vinorelbine at standard doses according to the treating physician. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Other chemotherapy drugs, such as vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading . Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Starting treatment with chemotherapy and immunotherapy prior to surgery and continuing treatment after surgery may be a more effective treatment option than adjuvant therapy alone in patients with stage II-IIIB resectable NSCLC.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-LU008

    Title: Phase III Prospective Randomized Trial of Primary Lung Tumor Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Followed by Concurrent Mediastinal Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to standard treatment (image guided radiation therapy [IGRT] and chemotherapy followed by immunotherapy with durvalumab) versus standard treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated by surgery (inoperable). SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. IGRT is a type of radiation that uses a computer to create picture of the tumor, to help guide the radiation beam during therapy, making it more accurate and causing less damage to healthy tissue. Standard chemotherapy used in this trial consists of combinations of the following drugs: cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, pemetrexed, and etoposide. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by blocking the action of a certain substance in the body that may help tumor cells multiply. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with durvalumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding SBRT to the standard treatment of IGRT with chemotherapy and immunotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer than giving the standard treatment alone.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2414

    Title: Randomized Phase III Trial INcorporating Pathologic Complete ReSponse in Participants With Early StaGe Non Small Cell Lung Cancer to Optimize ImmunotHerapy in The AdjuvanT Setting (INSIGHT)

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares durvalumab to the usual approach (patient observation) after surgery for the treatment of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to closely watch a patient's condition after surgery and to have regular visits with their doctor to watch for signs of the cancer coming back. Usually, patients do not receive further treatment unless the cancer returns. This study will help determine whether this different approach with durvalumab is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach of observation. Giving durvalumab may help patients live longer and prevent early-stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back as compared to the usual approach.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AGCT1531

    Title: A PHASE 3 STUDY OF ACTIVE SURVEILLANCE FOR LOW RISK AND A RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF CARBOPLATIN VS. CISPLATIN FOR STANDARD RISK PEDIATRIC AND ADULT PATIENTS WITH GERM CELL TUMORS

    Purpose: Primary Outcome Measures:
    EFS [ Time Frame: The time from study entry to the date of death, date of disease progression or recurrence, date of second malignant neoplasm or date of last contact and ascertained as alive, whichever comes first, assessed up to 5 years ] Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: The time from randomization to date of date of death or date of last follow-up and ascertained as alive, assessed up to 8 years ] A 1-sided lower 85% confidence limit for the 2-year survival will be constructed, and if this confidence limit is greater than 0.95, it will be concluded that the strategy provides sufficient OS.

    Secondary Outcome Measures:
    Content validity and understandability of AYA-Hearing Screen assessed by questionnaire [ Time Frame: Baseline ] Incidence of ototoxicity [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after the last dose of platin therapy ] Will compare the proportion of patients who demonstrate hearing loss according to the International Society of Pediatric Oncology criteria.
    Novel genetic variants associated with an increased risk of platinum-associated ototoxicity as determined by standard audiology [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] For each candidate gene, will perform an exact two-sided test for the equality of binomial proportions for the event - patient has the candidate gene. The two groups compared will be defined by the presence of SHL. Will use the Bonferroni correction to control experiment-wise error and designate the result as significant if the observed p-value is less than or equal to 0.0025.
    Utility of the 4-miRNA panel as markers diagnostic of MGCTs [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will use categorical data methods and estimate the probability of demonstrating an elevated miRNA value as the proportion of patients who have the particular miRNA elevated.
    Utility of the 4-miRNA panel as markers diagnostic of MGCTs [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will compare the diagnostic sensitivity of serum markers, particularly elevated alpha-fetoprotein, to that of elevated microRNA for each of the microRNAs, as well as the characteristic any microRNA elevated. Will perform McNemar's test. The result for each serum evaluation (elevated or not elevated) for each sample on which both serum marker and microRNA evaluation are obtained will be cross tabulated and the p-value associated with McNemar's test calculated. A p-value of 0.05 or less will be considered evidence of differential sensitivity.

    Other Outcome Measures:
    Activation of protein signaling pathway [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will assess the relationship between pathway activation, including EGFR, MAP Kinase and P3K and risk for disease progression. Tumor materials will be evaluated for the activation of specific pathways, including the three mentioned above. The effect of pathway activation, coded as yes vs. no, on the cause-specific hazard of EFS component disease progression will be estimated by relative risk regression considering other EFS events as censoring events. Will use the Benjamini and Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate.
    Binomial data [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will use repeated measures binomial data as the initial approach to investigating this exploratory aim. Each biomarker will be examined individually. The predictor variables will be the measured value of particular novel biomarker and randomized treatment regimen. The response variable will be the occurrence of grade 3 or higher nephrotoxicity during the next treatment cycle. Will use logistic regression with a shared random frailty for outcomes for the same individual, when the subject's biomarkers are evaluated more than once during protocol therapy and the particular toxicity type is revers
    Incidence of kidney dysfunction [ Time Frame: 12-16 weeks after the last dose of platin therapy ] Two patient characteristics will be used to measure kidney dysfunction: (1) the presence of Grade 1 or greater elevation of serum creatinine; and a second measure that is more sensitive for damage to the renal endothelium (2) albuminuria.
    Incidence of self-reported peripheral neuropathy assessed by the 11-item Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity scale [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ] Will compare the characteristics obtained at the start of chemotherapy of patients from the relevant groups who contribute to the patient reported outcome analyses with those who do not to investigate whether the measured group may not be representative of the study population. Will also conduct other sensitivity analysis as appropriate to assess the effects of missing data on the analysis for this aim.
    Incidence of self-reported peripheral neuropathy assessed by the 11-item Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity scale [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ] Will compare self-reported peripheral neuropathy and other patient-reported outcomes between children, adolescents and young adults with standard risk germ cell tumors treated with carboplatin-based chemotherapy as compared to cisplatin based chemotherapy.
    Prognostic effects of the marker defined by microRNA signature present or high values of alpha-fetoprotein or beta-HCG [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed using a proportional approach. EFS from time of enrollment will be used for markers that are obtained at enrollment. EFS post complete evaluation of marker decline will be used for markers where the characteristic is the change in a putative marker.
    Prognostic significance of the 4-miRNA panel [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed using time-dependent covariate analysis.

    Title: Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Brief Behavioral Therapy for Cancer Related Insomnia (BBT-CI) and Healthy Eating Education Learning (HEAL)

    Purpose:

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-CC012CD

    Title: Managing Symptoms and Psychological Distress During Oral Anti-Cancer Treatment

    Purpose: In this clinical trial, symptom monitoring (interactive voice response [IVR] is compared to automated telephone symptom management [ATSM] and telephone interpersonal counseling [TIPC]) for reducing symptom burden and psychological distress (depressive and anxiety symptoms) among people receiving oral anti-cancer treatment. Symptoms are the number one driver of treatment interruptions and unscheduled health services use. To reduce the risk of these events, symptom monitoring and management are necessary. However, these services are not implemented routinely, especially in the community oncology settings. Further, depressive and anxiety symptoms are a key barrier to enacting symptom self-management strategies. IVR is a form of symptom monitoring where patients, when called, enter their symptom ratings over the phone. Their symptom summary is sent to their provider, and patients may be advised to reach out to their oncology provider, based on their symptoms. The ATSM intervention combines IVR assessments with a Symptom Management and Survivorship educational handbook with self-management strategies. Patients receiving ATSM enter their symptom ratings over the phone and have their symptoms reported to their provider, but patients are also directed to the handbook for strategies to manage elevated symptoms. Patients receiving ATSM who report being anxious, discouraged, or sad will also receive TIPC, which targets psychological distress and its connection to social support and interpersonal communication. Information gathered from this study may help researchers learn more about the best ways to manage patient symptoms and improve patient outcomes.

    Title: A Phase II Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial of PROstate OligoMETastatic RadiotHErapy With or Without ANdrogen Deprivation Therapy in Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer (NRG Promethean)

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests whether relugolix and radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in patients with prostate cancer that has spread in a limited way to 1 to 5 other parts of the body (oligometastatic). Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Relugolix lowers the amount of testosterone made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Giving relugolix with radiation therapy may help lower the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2312

    Title: A Phase III Study of Cabazitaxel With or Without Carboplatin in Patients With Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC), Stratified by Aggressive Variant Signature (CARAVAN)

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding carboplatin to the standard of care chemotherapy drug cabazitaxel versus cabazitaxel alone in treating prostate cancer that keeps growing even when the amount of testosterone in the body is reduced to very low levels (castrate-resistant) and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cabazitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Prednisone is often given together with chemotherapy drugs. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs and to help the chemotherapy work. Giving carboplatin with the standard of care chemotherapy drug cabazitaxel may be better at treating metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: URCC-22053

    Title: High-dose Vitamin D Supplementation for ADT-Induced Bone Loss in Older Prostate Cancer Patients

    Purpose: This phase III trial tests whether high-dose vitamin D works in treating androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT)-induced bone loss in patients with prostate cancer who are undergoing androgen-deprivation therapy. Vitamins are substances that the body needs to grow and develop normally. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. Calcium is one of the main building blocks of bone. A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone diseases such as osteoporosis or rickets. This trial may help researcher determine if high-dose vitamin D helps keep bones strong, lowers number of falls, and lessens fatigue in men getting androgen-deprivation therapy.

    TRIAL NUMBER: CCTG-CO32

    Title: A Phase 3 Randomized Trial Of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy, Excision And Observation Versus Chemoradiotherapy For Early Rectal Cancer

    Purpose: This study is being done to answer the following questions: Is the chance of rectal cancer responding the same if chemotherapy alone is given before limited surgery compared to chemotherapy and radiation therapy given together before limited surgery? If radiation therapy is not given, is quality of life better?

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1931

    Title: Phase III Trial of Immunotherapy-Based Combination Therapy With or Without Cytoreductive Nephrectomy for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (PROBE Trial)

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding surgery to a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination versus a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Surgery to remove the kidney, called a nephrectomy, is also considered standard of care; however, doctors who treat kidney cancer do not agree on its benefits. It is not yet known if the addition of surgery to an immunotherapy-based drug combination works better than an immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer.

    Purpose:

    This is a first-in-human (FIH), open-label, multicenter dose escalation and expansion study of ALK201. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antitumor activity of ALK201 as a monotherapy in adult participants with Advanced Solid Tumors. The study will also identify recommended dose(s) for subsequent clinical studies of ALK201.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EAY191

    Title: Molecular Analysis for Combination Therapy Choice (ComboMATCH)

    Purpose: This ComboMATCH patient registration trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.

    Title: AN OPEN-LABEL, SINGLE-ARM, MULTI-CENTER PHASE I/IIA CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY, PHARMACOKINETICS, AND EFFICACY OF SHR-A1904 IN SUBJECTS WITH ADVANCED SOLID TUMORS

    Purpose: The study (dose escalation/expansion) is being conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of SHR-A1904 in subjects with advanced solid tumors, and to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase II dose (RP2D), to assess preliminary efficacy of SHR-A1904, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and immunogenicity of SHR-A1904 in subjects with advanced solid tumors.


    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-HN014

    Title: Randomized Phase III Trial of Perioperative Immunotherapy With Response-Adapted Treatment Versus Standard-of-Care Treatment for Resectable Stage III/IV Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding cemiplimab to standard therapy (surgery with or without radiation) versus standard therapy alone in treating patients with stage III/IV squamous cell skin cancer that is able to be removed by surgery (resectable) and that may have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). The usual treatment for patients with resectable squamous cell skin cancer is the removal of the cancerous tissue (surgery) with or without radiation, which uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cemiplimab has been approved for the treatment of skin cancer that has spread or that cannot be removed by surgery, but it has not been approved for the treatment of skin cancer than can be removed by surgery. Adding cemiplimab to the usual treatment of surgery with or without radiation may be more effective in treating patients with stage III/IV resectable squamous cell skin cancer than the usual treatment alone.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EA8192

    Title: A Phase II/III trial of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) and Chemotherapy for Patients with High Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Prior to Nephroureterectomy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared to chemotherapy alone.

    Title: OptimICE-PCR: De-Escalation of Therapy in Early-Stage TNBC Patients Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

    Purpose: The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic 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 in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

    Title: Improving Medication Adherence in Metastatic Breast Cancer Using a Connected Customized Treatment Platform (CONCURxP)

    Purpose: This clinical trial compares the use of the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP), consisting of using a medication monitoring device called WiseBag along with text message reminders for missed or extra medication events, to enhanced usual care (EUC), where patients only use the Wisebag, to monitor medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor. 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 medication non adherence. 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.

    Purpose: The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic 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 in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EAQ221CD

    Title: Improving Medication Adherence in Metastatic Breast Cancer Using a Connected Customized Treatment Platform (CONCURxP)

    Purpose: This clinical trial compares the use of the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP), consisting of using a medication monitoring device called WiseBag along with text message reminders for missed or extra medication events, to enhanced usual care (EUC), where patients only use the Wisebag, to monitor medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor. 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 medication non adherence. 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.

    TRIAL NUMBER: DCP-001

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Overall survival [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
      Will compare overall survival between patients with inoperable, T1, T2, limited T3, N0M0 (early stage) non-small cell lung cancer randomized to stereotactic body radiation therapy with or without atezolizumab. Will be evaluated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. For point estimates at landmark times, the associated 95% confidence interval (CI) will be calculated using Greenwood's formula and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function. Hazard ratios for these outcomes will be estimated using a Cox Proportional Hazards regression model and estimated using a stratified Cox regression model.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Progression free survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
      Will be evaluated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. For point estimates at landmark times, the associated 95% CI will be calculated using Greenwood's formula and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GU013

    Title: The Phase III 'High Five Trial' Five Fraction Radiation for High-Risk Prostate Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), (five treatments over two weeks using a higher dose per treatment) to usual radiation therapy (20 to 45 treatments over 4 to 9 weeks) for the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period of time. This trial is evaluating if shorter duration radiation prevents cancer from coming back as well as the usual radiation treatment.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GU012

    Title: Randomized Phase II Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy (SABR) for Metastatic Unresected Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Receiving Immunotherapy (SAMURAI)

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests whether the addition of radiation to the primary tumor, typically given with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR), in combination with standard of care immunotherapy improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that is not recommended for surgery and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy photons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses of radiation over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, avelumab, and pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib are in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. They work by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving SABR in combination with standard of care immunotherapy may help shrink or stabilize the cancer in patients with renal cell cancer.

    Purpose: Primary Outcome Measures : EFS [ Time Frame: Time from induction response to the time of progressive-disease, secondary malignancy, or death, assessed up to 3 years ] Will be compared using log-rank tests. EFS curves will be constructed using the Kaplan-Meier product limit method, and additional analyses will be done using the Cox proportional hazards model. The corresponding hazard ratio, 2- and 3-year EFS estimates will be assessed, and EFS medians along with their 95% confidence intervals for the two treatment arms.

    Secondary Outcome Measures : DFS [ Time Frame: Time from achievement of CR to the time of relapse and/or death, assessed up to 10 years ] OS [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the time of death due to any cause, assessed up to 10 years ] Will be evaluated using Kaplan-Meier as well as Cox regression models.
    Proportion of patients who achieve CR or any response to induction therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be summarized as the proportion of patients who achieve any type of response to induction therapy divided by the number of all evaluable patients registered to this trial and who received at least one dose of induction therapy. Corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals will also be calculated.
    Overall induction response rates [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be summarized as the proportion of patients who achieve any type of response to induction therapy divided by the number of all evaluable patients registered to this trial and who received at least one dose of induction therapy. Corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals will also be calculated.
    Incidence of adverse events as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns. In addition, all adverse event data that is graded as 3, 4, or 5 will be reviewed and classified as either "unrelated" or "unlikely to be related" to study treatment in the event of an actual relationship developing. The incidence of severe (grade 3+) adverse events or toxicities will be described for each treatment arm, but will also be compared between the arms. Fisher's exact tests will be used to quantitatively compare the incidence of severe as well as specific toxicities of interest between the treatment arms and we will graphically assess differences in maximum grades observed for toxicities between the arms. Tolerability of the treatment arms will be assessed through assessing the number of patients who required dose modifications and/or dose delays.
    Proportion of patients who go off treatment due to adverse reactions [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed within each of the treatment arms and differences explores in these measures between the arms.
    Proportion of patients who refuse further treatment for lesser toxicities that inhibit their willingness to continue participation on the trial [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed within each of the treatment arms and differences explores in these measures between the arms.

    TRIAL NUMBER: E1910

    Title: A Phase III Randomized Trial of Blinatumomab for Newly Diagnosed BCR-ABL-Negative B Lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Adults

    Purpose: This randomized phase III trial studies combination chemotherapy with blinatumomab to see how well it works compared to induction chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-c-abl oncogene 1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase (ABL)-negative B lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without blinatumomab in treating newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

    Title: Pragmatica-Lung: A Prospective Randomized Study of Ramucirumab (LY3009806; NSC 749128) Plus Pembrolizumab (MK-3475; NSC 776864) Versus Standard of Care for Participants Previously Treated With Immunotherapy for Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of the combination of ramucirumab and pembrolizumab versus standard of care chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. 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. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial may help doctors find out if giving ramucirumab with pembrolizumab is more effective at treating patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer than standard chemotherapy.

    Title: OptimICE-PCR: De-Escalation of Therapy in Early-Stage TNBC Patients Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

    Purpose: The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic 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 in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

    Overall induction response rates [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be summarized as the proportion of patients who achieve any type of response to induction therapy divided by the number of all evaluable patients registered to this trial and who received at least one dose of induction therapy. Corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals will also be calculated.
    Incidence of adverse events as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns. In addition, all adverse event data that is graded as 3, 4, or 5 will be reviewed and classified as either "unrelated" or "unlikely to be related" to study treatment in the event of an actual relationship developing. The incidence of severe (grade 3+) adverse events or toxicities will be described for each treatment arm, but will also be compared between the arms. Fisher's exact tests will be used to quantitatively compare the incidence of severe as well as specific toxicities of interest between the treatment arms and we will graphically assess differences in maximum grades observed for toxicities between the arms. Tolerability of the treatment arms will be assessed through assessing the number of patients who required dose modifications and/or dose delays.
    Proportion of patients who go off treatment due to adverse reactions [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed within each of the treatment arms and differences explores in these measures between the arms.
    Proportion of patients who refuse further treatment for lesser toxicities that inhibit their willingness to continue participation on the trial [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed within each of the treatment arms and differences explores in these measures between the arms.

      Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) is a 30-item questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life in cancer patients. QLQ-C30 includes functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), global health status, symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting), and other (dyspnoea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation/diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Most questions used 4-point scale (1 'Not at All' to 4 'Very Much'); 2 questions used 7-point scale (1 'Very Poor' to 7 'Excellent'). Scores are averaged, and transformed to 0-100 scale; higher score=better level of physical functioning, greater occurrence of nausea/vomiting, and greater occurrence of diarrhea.

    11. Influence of diet, body mass index, weight loss, physical activity, and other lifestyle habits on overall survival [ Time Frame: Time between randomization and death from any cause, assessed up to 6 years. ]

    TRIAL NUMBER: A012103

    Title: OptimICE-PCR: De-Escalation of Therapy in Early-Stage TNBC Patients Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

    Purpose: The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic 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 in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

    TRIAL NUMBER: DCP-001

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GI008

    Title: Colon Adjuvant Chemotherapy Based on Evaluation of Residual Disease

    Purpose:
    This Phase II/III trial will evaluate the what kind of chemotherapy to recommend to patients based on the presence or absences of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after surgery for colon cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EA3132

    Title: EA3132:Phase II Randomized Trial of Radiotherapy with or Without Cisplatin for Surgically Resected Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) with TP53 Sequencing

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy with or without cisplatin works in treating patients with stage III-IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have undergone surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without cisplatin in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

    TRIAL NUMBER: AALL1732

    Title: A Phase 3 Randomized Trial of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (NSC#: 772518) for Newly Diagnosed High-Risk B-ALL; Risk-Adapted Post-Induction Therapy for High-Risk B-ALL, Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia, and Disseminated B-LLy

    Purpose:

    This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, methotrexate, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, prednisone, thioguanine, vincristine, and pegaspargase 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. This trial will also study the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and disseminated B lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with high-risk ALL chemotherapy.

    The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first two phases of therapy: Induction and Consolidation. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, in order to classify patients into post-consolidation treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance I, delayed intensification, interim maintenance II, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. Other aims of this study include investigating whether treating both males and females with the same duration of chemotherapy maintains outcomes for males who have previously been treated for an additional year compared to girls, as well as to evaluate the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

    TRIAL NUMBER: A081801

    Title: INTEGRATION OF IMMUNOTHERAPY INTO ADJUVANT THERAPY FOR RESECTED NSCLC: ALCHEMIST CHEMO-IO

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Disease free survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]
      Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, where the stratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. DFS rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years will also be reported, along with 95% confidence intervals.

    2. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 8 years after accrual completion ]
      Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, where the stratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. OS rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years will also be reported, along with 95% confidence intervals.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. DFS between combination pembrolizumab with standard of care vs. sequential pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]
    2. OS between combination pembrolizumab with standard of care vs. sequential pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 8 years after accrual completion ]
    3. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
      The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be summarized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5. The frequency and percentage of grade 3+ adverse events will be compared between the 2 experimental treatment arms and the control as well as between the two experimental arms. We will also compare the rate of drug discontinuation due to adverse events between the experimental treatment arms and control, and between the two experimental arms. Comparisons between arms will be made by using the Chi-square test. Analysis of the overall adverse event rates, as well as specific events of interest will involve Chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests.

    4. DFS between each experimental pembrolizumab plus standard of care arms vs. standard of care by PD-L1 expression status [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]
      Univariable and multivariable Cox models stratified by the stratification factors used in the randomization will be used as the primary analytical method, where all baseline covariates will be considered in the univariable models and subsequently in the multivariable models based on the criteria for selection for the multivariable models.

    5. OS between each experimental pembrolizumab plus standard of care arms vs. standard of care by PD-L1 expression status [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 8 years after accrual completion ]
      Univariable and multivariable Cox models stratified by the stratification factors used in the randomization will be used as the primary analytical method, where all baseline covariates will be considered in the univariable models and subsequently in the multivariable models based on the criteria for selection for the multivariable models.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GU008

    Title: RANDOMIZED PHASE III TRIAL INCORPORATING ABIRATERONE ACETATE WITH PREDNISONE AND APALUTAMIDE AND ADVANCED IMAGING INTO SALVAGE TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS WITH NODE-POSITIVE PROSTATE CANCER AFTER RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY

    Purpose:

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GU011

    Title: A Phase II Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial of PROstate OligoMETastatic RadiotHErapy With or Without ANdrogen Deprivation Therapy in Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer (NRG Promethean)

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests whether relugolix and radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in patients with prostate cancer that has spread in a limited way to 1 to 5 other parts of the body (oligometastatic). Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Relugolix lowers the amount of testosterone made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Giving relugolix with radiation therapy may help lower the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1802

    Title: S1802: Phase III Randomized Trial of Standard Systemic Therapy (SST) versus Standard Systemic Therapy plus Definitive treatment (surgery or radiation) of the primary tumor in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial studies how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Addition of prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy to standard systemic therapy for prostate cancer may lower the chance of the cancer growing or spreading.

    TRIAL NUMBER: URCC-22053

    Title: High-dose Vitamin D Supplementation for ADT-Induced Bone Loss in Older Prostate Cancer Patients

    Purpose: This phase III trial tests whether high-dose vitamin D works in treating androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT)-induced bone loss in patients with prostate cancer who are undergoing androgen-deprivation therapy. Vitamins are substances that the body needs to grow and develop normally. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. Calcium is one of the main building blocks of bone. A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone diseases such as osteoporosis or rickets. This trial may help researcher determine if high-dose vitamin D helps keep bones strong, lowers number of falls, and lessens fatigue in men getting androgen-deprivation therapy.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1931

    Title: Phase III Trial of Immunotherapy-Based Combination Therapy With or Without Cytoreductive Nephrectomy for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (PROBE Trial)

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding surgery to a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination versus a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Surgery to remove the kidney, called a nephrectomy, is also considered standard of care; however, doctors who treat kidney cancer do not agree on its benefits. It is not yet known if the addition of surgery to an immunotherapy-based drug combination works better than an immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EA8192

    Title: A Phase II/III trial of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) and Chemotherapy for Patients with High Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Prior to Nephroureterectomy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared to chemotherapy alone.

      Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, where the stratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. OS rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years will also be reported, along with 95% confidence intervals.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. DFS between combination pembrolizumab with standard of care vs. sequential pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]
    2. OS between combination pembrolizumab with standard of care vs. sequential pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 8 years after accrual completion ]
    3. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
      The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be summarized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5. The frequency and percentage of grade 3+ adverse events will be compared between the 2 experimental treatment arms and the control as well as between the two experimental arms. We will also compare the rate of drug discontinuation due to adverse events between the experimental treatment arms and control, and between the two experimental arms. Comparisons between arms will be made by using the Chi-square test. Analysis of the overall adverse event rates, as well as specific events of interest will involve Chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests.

    4. DFS between each experimental pembrolizumab plus standard of care arms vs. standard of care by PD-L1 expression status [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]
      Univariable and multivariable Cox models stratified by the stratification factors used in the randomization will be used as the primary analytical method, where all baseline covariates will be considered in the univariable models and subsequently in the multivariable models based on the criteria for selection for the multivariable models.

    Title: OptimICE-PCR: De-Escalation of Therapy in Early-Stage TNBC Patients Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

    Purpose: The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic 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 in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieve pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EAQ221CD

    Title: Improving Medication Adherence in Metastatic Breast Cancer Using a Connected Customized Treatment Platform (CONCURxP)

    Purpose: This clinical trial compares the use of the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP), consisting of using a medication monitoring device called WiseBag along with text message reminders for missed or extra medication events, to enhanced usual care (EUC), where patients only use the Wisebag, to monitor medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor. 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 medication non adherence. 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.

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means.

    Title: A Randomized Phase II/III Study of Docetaxel and Ramucirumab With or Without Cemiplimab for Participants Previously Treated With Platinum-Based Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy for Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (Lung-MAP Non-Matched Sub-Study)

    Purpose: This phase II/III Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial compares the effect of adding cemiplimab to docetaxel and ramucirumab versus docetaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Cemiplimab is a monoclonal antibody that stimulates the immune system by blocking the PD-1 pathway. Tumors use the PD-1 pathway to escape attacks from the immune system. By blocking the PD-1 pathway, cemiplimab may help the immune system recognize and attack tumor cells. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Adding cemiplimab to usual treatment, docetaxel and ramucirumab, may kill more tumor cells compared to docetaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.

      Patients alive without disease progression will be censored at date of last disease evaluation. Only deaths that occur within 3 months of the last disease evaluation are considered events.

    2. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    3. Incidence of grade 3 or higher non-hematologic adverse events [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    4. Incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse events [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    5. Best response [ Time Frame: During induction, consolidation, and maintenance; a period of up to 42 months (9 months of induction, 9 months of consolidation, and up to 2 years of maintenance). ]
    6. FACT-Ntx TOI recovery rate (Patient reported outcome [PRO]) [ Time Frame: From end of induction through consolidation up to 1 year of maintenance, up to 21 weeks ]
      Defined as the proportion of patients with the FACT-Ntx TOI score returning to baseline level reached at consolidation randomization after experiencing a MID decrease while on up to 1 year of maintenance.


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. Change in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Neurotoxicity Trial Outcome Index (FACT-Ntx TOI) score (Patient reported outcome) [ Time Frame: From end of induction to after completion of 9 cycles of consolidation, a period of approximately 36 weeks (9 months) ]
      Calculated as the difference after completion of 9 cycles of consolidation therapy from end of induction. Scores can range from a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 44. A higher score on this assessment means a worse outcome.

    2. Levels and changes of FACT-General (G) (physical well-being [PWB] + functional well-being [FWB]) score (PRO) [ Time Frame: From the end of induction through 1 year of maintenance, 21 weeks ]
      The FACT-G is a single outcome measure made up of the PWB and FWB components. Scores range from a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 56. For this assessment, a higher score means a better outcome.

    3. Presence, frequency, interference, amount and/or severity of select PRO- Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAEs) (PRO) [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]
      Presence, frequency, interference, amount and/or severity of select PRO-CTCAEs tabulated at each measurement.

    5. PRO compliance rate [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]
      Defined as the proportion of patients who submit the given PRO instrument among those eligible at each time point which excludes those missing by design (due to death or disease progression, early treatment discontinuation).

    6. PRO completion rate [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years ]
      Defined as the proportion of patients who complete given PRO instrument based on the instrument's scoring system among those eligible at each time point.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1931

    Title: Phase III Trial of Immunotherapy-Based Combination Therapy With or Without Cytoreductive Nephrectomy for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (PROBE Trial)

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding surgery to a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination versus a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Surgery to remove the kidney, called a nephrectomy, is also considered standard of care; however, doctors who treat kidney cancer do not agree on its benefits. It is not yet known if the addition of surgery to an immunotherapy-based drug combination works better than an immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EAY191

    Title: Molecular Analysis for Combination Therapy Choice (ComboMATCH)

    Purpose: This ComboMATCH patient registration trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.

    Purpose: Primary Outcome Measures : EFS [ Time Frame: Time from induction response to the time of progressive-disease, secondary malignancy, or death, assessed up to 3 years ] Will be compared using log-rank tests. EFS curves will be constructed using the Kaplan-Meier product limit method, and additional analyses will be done using the Cox proportional hazards model. The corresponding hazard ratio, 2- and 3-year EFS estimates will be assessed, and EFS medians along with their 95% confidence intervals for the two treatment arms.

    Secondary Outcome Measures : DFS [ Time Frame: Time from achievement of CR to the time of relapse and/or death, assessed up to 10 years ] OS [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to the time of death due to any cause, assessed up to 10 years ] Will be evaluated using Kaplan-Meier as well as Cox regression models.
    Proportion of patients who achieve CR or any response to induction therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be summarized as the proportion of patients who achieve any type of response to induction therapy divided by the number of all evaluable patients registered to this trial and who received at least one dose of induction therapy. Corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals will also be calculated.
    Overall induction response rates [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be summarized as the proportion of patients who achieve any type of response to induction therapy divided by the number of all evaluable patients registered to this trial and who received at least one dose of induction therapy. Corresponding 95% binomial confidence intervals will also be calculated.
    Incidence of adverse events as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns. In addition, all adverse event data that is graded as 3, 4, or 5 will be reviewed and classified as either "unrelated" or "unlikely to be related" to study treatment in the event of an actual relationship developing. The incidence of severe (grade 3+) adverse events or toxicities will be described for each treatment arm, but will also be compared between the arms. Fisher's exact tests will be used to quantitatively compare the incidence of severe as well as specific toxicities of interest between the treatment arms and we will graphically assess differences in maximum grades observed for toxicities between the arms. Tolerability of the treatment arms will be assessed through assessing the number of patients who required dose modifications and/or dose delays.
    Proportion of patients who go off treatment due to adverse reactions [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed within each of the treatment arms and differences explores in these measures between the arms.
    Proportion of patients who refuse further treatment for lesser toxicities that inhibit their willingness to continue participation on the trial [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] Will be assessed within each of the treatment arms and differences explores in these measures between the arms.

    Title: A Phase III Randomized Trial of Blinatumomab for Newly Diagnosed BCR-ABL-Negative B Lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Adults

    Purpose: This randomized phase III trial studies combination chemotherapy with blinatumomab to see how well it works compared to induction chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-c-abl oncogene 1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase (ABL)-negative B lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without blinatumomab in treating newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

    Title: The Janus Rectal Cancer Trial: A Randomized Phase II Trial Testing The Efficacy of Triplet Versus Doublet Chemotherapy to Achieve Clinical Complete Response in Patients With Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

    Purpose: This phase II trial compares the effect of irinotecan versus oxaliplatin after long-course chemoradiation in patients with stage II-III rectal cancer. Combination chemotherapy drugs, such as FOLFIRINOX (fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin), FOLFOX (leucovorin, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan ), and CAPOX (capecitabin and oxaliplatin) work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. FOLFOX or CAPOX are used after chemoradiation as usual treatment for rectal cancer. Giving FOLFIRINOX after chemoradiation may increase the response rate and lead to higher rates of clinical complete response (with a chance of avoiding surgery) compared to FOLFOX or CAPOX after chemoradiation in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

    Title: A PROSPECTIVE LOW-INTERVENTIONAL PHASE 4 SINGLE ARM STUDY OF OCULAR ASSESSMENTS IN PATIENTS TREATED WITH TIVDAK® IN RECURRENT OR METASTATIC CERVICAL CANCER

    Purpose:

    TIVDAK is used for the treatment of cervical cancer that has come back after chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses medicines to stop the growth of cancer cells. This is done either by killing the cells or by stopping them from growing. The purpose of this study is to learn about possible side effects of TIVDAK, specially to any side effect that is related to the eye. A side effect is anything a medicine does to your body that is not part of how the medicine treats disease.

    • This study is seeking for participants who: Are willing to take all the required eye tests
    • Have not received TIVDAK before
    • Do not have any active eye issues.

    Participants will receive TIVDAK once every 3 weeks as an infusion that will be injected into the vein. Participants will visit an eye care provider at 3 stages:

    • before starting the treatment,
    • before each of the first 9 infusions
    • then monthly for 3 months after they stop taking TIVDAK. Treatment with TIVDAK will continue until it is not working anymore against the participant's cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: DCP-001

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2212

    Title: Shorter Anthracycline-Free Chemo Immunotherapy Adapted to Pathological Response in Early Triple Negative Breast Cancer (SCARLET), A Randomized Phase III Study

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effects of shorter chemotherapy (chemo)-immunotherapy without anthracyclines to usual chemo-immunotherapy for the treatment of early-stage triple negative breast cancer. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called anti-microtubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Doxorubicin is an anthracycline chemotherapy drug that damages DNA and may kill cancer cells. Pembrolizumab may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Shorter treatment without anthracycline chemotherapy may work the same as the usual anthracycline chemotherapy treatment for early-stage triple negative breast cancer.

The effects of other covariates, such as familial history of gynecologic cancer, time to crossover for bilateral salpingectomy (BLS) patients, and age at study entry, will be adjusted for in Cox proportional hazard models. Patients who crossover will be analyzed according to the initial surgery received at study enrollment as this will reflect actual practice.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Health-related quality of life (QOL) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Endocrine Symptom (FACT-ES). The FACT total score (calculated from the physical, functional, social and emotional well-being subscales) and ES subscale will be assessed. Higher scores indicate better QOL for the FACT-ES and better functioning for the FSFI total score.

    2. Estrogen deprivation symptoms [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the FACT-ES. The FACT total score (calculated from the physical, functional, social and emotional well-being subscales) and ES subscale will be assessed. Higher scores indicate better QOL for the FACT-ES and better functioning for the FSFI total score.

    3. Sexual dysfunction [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Higher scores indicate better functioning for the FSFI total score.

    4. Menopausal symptoms [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Menopausal Symptom Checklist (MSCL).

    5. Cancer distress [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Impact of Events Scale (IES).

    6. Medical decision making [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Shared Decision Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-9) to determin factors associated with the risk of reducing surgical treatment choice. The SDM-Q-9 total score at each time point of collection will be compared between arms using a t-test with a significance level of 0.05. A linear model will be used to assess the association of the SDM-Q-9 total score with treatment arm and patient characteristics such as age and race.

    7. Medical decision making [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by the Decisional Regret Scale to determine factor associated with the risk of reducing surgical treatment choice. The Decisional Regret Scale total score at each time point of collection will be compared between arms using a t-test with a significance level of 0.05. A linear model will be used to assess the association of the Decisional Regret Scale total score with treatment arm and patient characteristics such as age, race, crossover from BLS arm, and hysterectomy status.

    8. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0. Counts and frequencies will be provided for the worst grade adverse event (AE) experienced by the patient by treatment arm. The distribution of AE grade in the BLS arm will be compared to the BSO arm using a chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test if cell frequencies are < 5, at the one-sided 0.05 significance level.


    Other Outcome Measures:
    1. Cost effectiveness [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will be measured by European Quality of Life Five Dimension Five Level Scale Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). A Markov model will be used to model cost.

    2. Sexual dysfunction by PROMIS screener [ Time Frame: Up to 20 years ]
      Will be measured by selected Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) screener. Each item will be analyzed separately and compared between treatment arms using a chi-square test.

    3. Section dysfunction by PROMIS external sexual function items [ Time Frame: Up to 20 years ]
      Will be measured by selected PROMIS external sexual function items. Each item will be analyzed separately and compared between treatment arms using a chi-square test.

    4. Correlation between Health related (HR)-QOL and patient reported symptoms. [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months post-surgery ]
      Will examine the correlation between HR-QOL, as measured by the FACT, with menopausal symptoms, as measured by the MCL, sexual dysfunction, as measured by FSFI, and PROMIS screener and external sexual function items and cancer distress as measured by the IES. Pearson correlation coefficients will be used for correlating the FACT total score with the FSFI overall score and IES total distress score. Spearman correlation coefficients will be used to assess the correlation between FACT total score and the MSCL symptoms, FSFI, and PROMIS items.

    Title: A Phase III Trial of the Impact of Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping on Patient Reported Lower Extremity Limb Dysfunction in Endometrial Cancer

    Purpose:

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GY026

    Title: A Phase II/III Study of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Alone or Combined With Either Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-Oysk (HERCEPTIN HYLECTA) or Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, and Hyaluronidase-Zzxf (PHESGO) in HER2 Positive, Stage I-IV Endometrial Serous Carcinoma or Carcinosarcoma

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin HylectaTM) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (PhesgoTM) to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep pertuzumab and trastuzumab in the body longer, so that these medications will have a greater effect. Hyaluronidase also allows trastuzumab and trastuzumab/pertuzumab to be given by injection under the skin and shortens their administration time compared to trastuzumab or pertuzumab alone. Paclitaxel is a taxane and in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may shrink the tumor and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma.

    Title: A Phase III Trial of One vs. Two Years of Maintenance Olaparib, With or Without Bevacizumab, in Patients With BRCA1/2 Mutated or Homologous Recombination Deficient (HRD+) Ovarian Cancer Following Response to First Line Platinum Based Chemotherapy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of olaparib for one year versus two years, with or without bevacizumab, for the treatment of BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Olaparib is a polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving olaparib for one year with or without bevacizumab may be effective in treating patients with BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer, when compared to two years of olaparib.

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation.

    Title: Randomized Phase II/III Trial of First Line Platinum/Etoposide With or Without Atezolizumab (NSC#783608) in Patients With Poorly Differentiated Extrapulmonary Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (NEC)

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial compares the effect of immunotherapy with atezolizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus standard therapy alone for the treatment of poorly differentiated extrapulmonary (originated outside the lung) small cell neuroendocrine cancer. The other aim of this trial is to compare using atezolizumab just at the beginning of treatment versus continuing it beyond the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cisplatin and carboplatin are in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds that work by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill cancer cells. Giving atezolizumab in combination with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide may work better in treating patients with poorly differentiated extrapulmonary small cell neuroendocrine cancer compared to standard therapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide alone.

    TRIAL NUMBER: DCP-001

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2012

    Title: Randomized Phase II/III Trial of First Line Platinum/Etoposide With or Without Atezolizumab (NSC#783608) in Patients With Poorly Differentiated Extrapulmonary Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (NEC)

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial compares the effect of immunotherapy with atezolizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus standard therapy alone for the treatment of poorly differentiated extrapulmonary (originated outside the lung) small cell neuroendocrine cancer. The other aim of this trial is to compare using atezolizumab just at the beginning of treatment versus continuing it beyond the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cisplatin and carboplatin are in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds that work by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill cancer cells. Giving atezolizumab in combination with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide may work better in treating patients with poorly differentiated extrapulmonary small cell neuroendocrine cancer compared to standard therapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide alone.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GY026

    Title: A Phase II/III Study of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Alone or Combined With Either Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-Oysk (HERCEPTIN HYLECTA) or Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, and Hyaluronidase-Zzxf (PHESGO) in HER2 Positive, Stage I-IV Endometrial Serous Carcinoma or Carcinosarcoma

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin HylectaTM) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (PhesgoTM) to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep pertuzumab and trastuzumab in the body longer, so that these medications will have a greater effect. Hyaluronidase also allows trastuzumab and trastuzumab/pertuzumab to be given by injection under the skin and shortens their administration time compared to trastuzumab or pertuzumab alone. Paclitaxel is a taxane and in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may shrink the tumor and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma.

      Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, where the stratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. DFS rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years will also be reported, along with 95% confidence intervals.

    2. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 8 years after accrual completion ]
      Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, where the stratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. OS rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years will also be reported, along with 95% confidence intervals.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. DFS between combination pembrolizumab with standard of care vs. sequential pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]
    2. OS between combination pembrolizumab with standard of care vs. sequential pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 8 years after accrual completion ]
    3. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
      The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be summarized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5. The frequency and percentage of grade 3+ adverse events will be compared between the 2 experimental treatment arms and the control as well as between the two experimental arms. We will also compare the rate of drug discontinuation due to adverse events between the experimental treatment arms and control, and between the two experimental arms. Comparisons between arms will be made by using the Chi-square test. Analysis of the overall adverse event rates, as well as specific events of interest will involve Chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests.

    4. DFS between each experimental pembrolizumab plus standard of care arms vs. standard of care by PD-L1 expression status [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first of either disease recurrence or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after accrual completion ]
      Univariable and multivariable Cox models stratified by the stratification factors used in the randomization will be used as the primary analytical method, where all baseline covariates will be considered in the univariable models and subsequently in the multivariable models based on the criteria for selection for the multivariable models.

    5. OS between each experimental pembrolizumab plus standard of care arms vs. standard of care by PD-L1 expression status [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 8 years after accrual completion ]

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1912CD

    Title: A Randomized Trial Addressing Cancer-Related Financial Hardship Through Delivery of a Proactive Financial Navigation Intervention (CREDIT)

    Purpose: This clinical trial examines a financial navigation program in helping patients and their spouses understand and better manage the financial aspects of cancer care. Cancer patients and their spouses may be at high risk for financial problems because of the cost of cancer treatment. A financial navigator is a person or team who work with patients and their families to help them reduce stress or hardship related to the cost of cancer treatment. Financial navigators help patients understand their out-of-pocket expenses and what their health insurance plans may cover. Financial navigation may also help patients set up payment plans, find cost-saving methods for treatments, and improve access to healthcare services that the patient needs. Providing financial navigation to patients may help reduce financial worries and improve quality of life.

    TRIAL NUMBER: WF-2501CD

    Title: Practical Delivery of Geriatric Assessment in Community Oncology Settings (PGA)

    Purpose: A geriatric assessment (GA) is a structured approach to identifying and addressing the strengths and vulnerabilities of older adults with cancer. They can improve the quality of cancer care for older adults and lower side effects. It is recommended a GA be administered prior to the start of non-hormonal systemic therapy for all older adults. Despite these guidelines, only a small percentage of practices report administering them. The practical geriatric assessment (PGA) was developed to help oncology practices perform GAs. It aims to provide a brief way to evaluate older patients' physical health along with other important things like support network and impact to the patient's daily life. Typically, clinics do not receive extra training on delivering the PGA. Providing training and support for staff at cancer clinics may help deliver the enhanced PGA to older adult cancer patients who are starting a new-hormonal systemic therapy. This clinical trial looks at whether providing training and support for staff at cancer clinics can help them deliver patient check-ups (e.g., PGA) specifically designed for adults >= 65 years old (older adults) starting a new non-hormonal systemic cancer therapy. The usual approach clinics use when starting these cancer therapy courses with an older adult may vary considerably.

    TRIAL NUMBER: URCC-19178

    Title: Optimizing Functional Outcomes of Older Cancer Survivors after Chemotherapy: The GEM-S Study

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of geriatric evaluation and management with survivorship health education (GEMS) to usual care on patient-reported physical function in older survivors of cancer. Survivorship care for older adults of cancer usually consists of getting advice from their doctor. This advice may include how to do their daily activities, so they are less tired or how to manage multiple diseases, or long-term side effects from treatment. GEMS may help improve the physical ability to perform activities of daily living, mental well-being, and memory in older survivors of cancer after chemotherapy. This study may help doctors learn if including GEMS in their practices improves physical, mental and memory functions in their patients. The study may also help to understand how such care affects cancer patients and their caregivers' quality of life.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GU013

    Title: The Phase III 'High Five Trial' Five Fraction Radiation for High-Risk Prostate Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), (five treatments over two weeks using a higher dose per treatment) to usual radiation therapy (20 to 45 treatments over 4 to 9 weeks) for the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period of time. This trial is evaluating if shorter duration radiation prevents cancer from coming back as well as the usual radiation treatment.

    TRIAL NUMBER: DCP-001

    Title: DCP-001, Use of a Clinical Trial Screening Tool to Address Cancer Health Disparities in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP)

    Purpose: The protocol is not a scientific study; rather, a method to implement the screening tool and allow the collection and analyses of expanded data with informed consent. Investigators also enroll patients into NCI-treatment trials. The tool, based on a screening log successfully used within the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP), has been streamlined and integrated into the sites’ workflow by using OPEN. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. Also missing from the existing data is the context of care, within the communities themselves where most cancer and at risk of cancer patients receive care which is the focus of NCORP. The profile of patients accrued to NCI-sponsored clinical trials lacks both racial/ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Accrued patients tend to be insured, highly educated and of higher socioeconomic means. The NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), a network of diverse community oncology practices, provides an opportunity to collect this important but missing clinical trials screening and expanded demographics in order to better understand the complex and multi-factorial influences affecting clinical trial participation. NCORP's clinical trials portfolio includes cancer control, prevention, screening, symptom science, and cancer care delivery research.

    Title: Randomized Phase II/III Trial of First Line Platinum/Etoposide With or Without Atezolizumab (NSC#783608) in Patients With Poorly Differentiated Extrapulmonary Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (NEC)

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial compares the effect of immunotherapy with atezolizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus standard therapy alone for the treatment of poorly differentiated extrapulmonary (originated outside the lung) small cell neuroendocrine cancer. The other aim of this trial is to compare using atezolizumab just at the beginning of treatment versus continuing it beyond the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cisplatin and carboplatin are in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds that work by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill cancer cells. Giving atezolizumab in combination with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide may work better in treating patients with poorly differentiated extrapulmonary small cell neuroendocrine cancer compared to standard therapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide alone.

    Title: A Phase III Trial of the Impact of Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping on Patient Reported Lower Extremity Limb Dysfunction in Endometrial Cancer

    Purpose:

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GY026

    Title: A Phase II/III Study of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Alone or Combined With Either Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-Oysk (HERCEPTIN HYLECTA) or Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, and Hyaluronidase-Zzxf (PHESGO) in HER2 Positive, Stage I-IV Endometrial Serous Carcinoma or Carcinosarcoma

    Purpose: This phase II/III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin HylectaTM) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (PhesgoTM) to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep pertuzumab and trastuzumab in the body longer, so that these medications will have a greater effect. Hyaluronidase also allows trastuzumab and trastuzumab/pertuzumab to be given by injection under the skin and shortens their administration time compared to trastuzumab or pertuzumab alone. Paclitaxel is a taxane and in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may shrink the tumor and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with HER2 positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma.

    Title: A Phase III Trial of One vs. Two Years of Maintenance Olaparib, With or Without Bevacizumab, in Patients With BRCA1/2 Mutated or Homologous Recombination Deficient (HRD+) Ovarian Cancer Following Response to First Line Platinum Based Chemotherapy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of olaparib for one year versus two years, with or without bevacizumab, for the treatment of BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Olaparib is a polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving olaparib for one year with or without bevacizumab may be effective in treating patients with BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer, when compared to two years of olaparib.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2104

    Title: Randomized Phase II Trial of Postoperative Adjuvant Capecitabine and Temozolomide Versus Observation in High-Risk Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies the effect of capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery in treating patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery could prevent or delay the return of cancer in patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

    Title: S1802: Phase III Randomized Trial of Standard Systemic Therapy (SST) versus Standard Systemic Therapy plus Definitive treatment (surgery or radiation) of the primary tumor in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial studies how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Addition of prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy to standard systemic therapy for prostate cancer may lower the chance of the cancer growing or spreading.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EA8192

    Title: A Phase II/III trial of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) and Chemotherapy for Patients with High Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Prior to Nephroureterectomy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared to chemotherapy alone.

    Title: EA3132:Phase II Randomized Trial of Radiotherapy with or Without Cisplatin for Surgically Resected Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) with TP53 Sequencing

    Purpose: This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy with or without cisplatin works in treating patients with stage III-IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have undergone surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without cisplatin in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

    TRIAL NUMBER: RTOG-1216

    Title: RANDOMIZED PHASE II/III TRIAL OF ADJUVANT RADIATION THERAPY WITH CISPLATIN, DOCETAXEL-CETUXIMAB, OR CISPLATIN-ATEZOLIZUMAB IN PATHOLOGIC HIGH-RISK SQUAMOUS CELL CANCER OF THE HEAD AND NECK

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Disease-free survival (DFS) (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until date of local-regional recurrence, distant metastasis or death due to any cause, assessed up to 7 years ]
      Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method for each arm. Their distributions will be compared between treatment arms with a one-sided log rank test.

    2. Overall survival (OS) (Phase III) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization to death due to any cause, assessed up to 7 years ]
      Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method for each arm. Their distributions will be compared between treatment arms with a one-sided log rank test. Multivariate analysis will be performed using the Cox proportional hazards model.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Local-regional failure (LRF) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until date of local-regional recurrence, assessed up to 7 years ]
      The cumulative incidence method will be used to estimate rates, and the failure rates for the experimental arms will be compared against the control using a failure-specific log rank test.

    2. Distant metastasis (DM) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization to date of distant metastasis, assessed up to 7 years ]
      The cumulative incidence method will be used to estimate rates, and the failure rates for the experimental arms will be compared against the control using a failure-specific log rank test.

    3. Toxicity [ Time Frame: From start of treatment to death or last follow-up ]
      Adverse events (AEs) will be graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 4.0. Rates of grade 3+ adverse events overall will be compared between arms by Chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test.

    4. Patient-reported outcome, symptom burden [ Time Frame: Time from randomization to a first recovery within at least one MID unit of total symptom severity compared to the baseline (reference) score ]
      Time to recovery of baseline total symptom severity from the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory - Head and Neck (MDASI-HN). The cumulative incidence method will be used to estimate the event rates, and the event rates between arms will be compared using a cause-specific log rank test. The Fine-Gray subdistribution hazards model may be applied to further explore outcomes by treatment arm and other covariates.

    5. Quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year post radiation therapy (RT) ]
      Quality of life change from baseline at 1-year post RT, as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Head and Neck (FACT-H&N) Trial Outcome Index (TOI). FACT TOI is a validated efficient summary index of physical/functional outcomes, and disease site-specific items, which is highly reliable and sensitive to change in performance status rating. A constrained longitudinal data analysis model will be fitted with all the time points (discrete), the treatment factor and its interaction. The secondary non-inferiority patient-reported outcome (PRO) hypothesis will be tested using a confidence interval approach.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-LU008

    Title: Phase III Prospective Randomized Trial of Primary Lung Tumor Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Followed by Concurrent Mediastinal Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to standard treatment (image guided radiation therapy [IGRT] and chemotherapy followed by immunotherapy with durvalumab) versus standard treatment alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated by surgery (inoperable). SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. IGRT is a type of radiation that uses a computer to create picture of the tumor, to help guide the radiation beam during therapy, making it more accurate and causing less damage to healthy tissue. Standard chemotherapy used in this trial consists of combinations of the following drugs: cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, pemetrexed, and etoposide. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by blocking the action of a certain substance in the body that may help tumor cells multiply. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with durvalumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding SBRT to the standard treatment of IGRT with chemotherapy and immunotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer than giving the standard treatment alone.

    Title: A PHASE III TRIAL OF PERIOPERATIVE VERSUS ADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY FOR RESECTABLE PANCREATIC CANCER

    Purpose:

    Primary Outcome Measures :
    1. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Time between randomization and death from any cause, assessed up to 6 years. ]
      Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. The median and 95% confidence intervals are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. The treatment arms will be compared using a stratified Cox regression model, and hazard ratios from each arm will be estimated.


    Secondary Outcome Measures :
    1. Disease-free survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: Time between randomization and progression prior to surgery, metastases detected during surgery, recurrence (locoregional and/or distant) after resection, and death due to all causes, assessed up to 6 years. ]
      Disease-free survival (DFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of progression prior to surgery, metastases detected during surgery, recurrence (locoregional and/or distant) after resection, and death due to all causes, whichever occurs first. The median and 95% confidence intervals are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

    2. Time to locoregional recurrence (TLR) [ Time Frame: Time between randomization and locoregional recurrence after resection, assessed up to 6 years. ]
      Time to locoregional recurrence (TLR) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of locoregional recurrence after resection. The median and 95% confidence intervals are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

    3. Time to distant metastases (TDM) [ Time Frame: Time between randomization and metastases prior to surgery, metastases detected during surgery, or distant recurrence after resection, assessed up to 6 years. ]
      Time to distant metastases (TDM) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of metastases prior to surgery, metastases detected during surgery, or distant recurrence after resection. The median and 95% confidence intervals are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

    4. R0 resection rate [ Time Frame: At time of surgery. ]

      The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine adverse event patterns within treatment arms and during the following three time points: during perioperative chemotherapy, surgical complications during surgery and post-operative period for 30 days, and during adjuvant chemotherapy.

    8. Fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (modified [m]FOLFIRINOX) dose intensity delivered [ Time Frame: 8 months ]
      Dose intensity is defined as the percentage of total cumulative dose the patient received divided by the total dose planned per protocol times 100.

    9. Fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium and oxaliplatin (modified [m]FOLFIRINOX) number of cycles received [ Time Frame: 8 months ]
      The number of cycles received is defined as the total number of cycles that the participant received at least one dose of any agent in mFOLFIRINOX.

    10. Quality of life as assessed by the physical functioning, nausea/vomiting, and diarrhea subscales in the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
      Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) is a 30-item questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life in cancer patients. QLQ-C30 includes functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), global health status, symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting), and other (dyspnoea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation/diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Most questions used 4-point scale (1 'Not at All' to 4 'Very Much'); 2 questions used 7-point scale (1 'Very Poor' to 7 'Excellent'). Scores are averaged, and transformed to 0-100 scale; higher score=better level of physical functioning, greater occurrence of nausea/vomiting, and greater occurrence of diarrhea.

    11. Influence of diet, body mass index, weight loss, physical activity, and other lifestyle habits on overall survival [ Time Frame: Time between randomization and death from any cause, assessed up to 6 years. ]
      Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models will be fit for overall survival (OS) endpoint (defined above) with covariates corresponding to baseline diet and lifestyle questionnaire responses and hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals will be reported.

    12. Influence of diet, body mass index, weight loss, physical activity, and other lifestyle habits on disease-free survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: Time between randomization and progression prior to surgery, metastases detected during surgery, recurrence (locoregional and/or distant) after resection, and death due to all causes, assessed up to 6 years. ]
      Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models will be fit for disease-free survival (DFS) endpoint (defined above) with covariates corresponding to baseline diet and lifestyle questionnaire responses and hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals will be reported.

      Multivariate Logistic models will be fit for the binary endpoint of grade 3+ adverse event (patient experiences at least one grade 3 or higher adverse event during treatment)

    14. The ability of computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics to distinguish post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) fibrosis from viable tumor as measured by comparison to histological evaluation [ Time Frame: At time of surgery. ]
      Comparison between computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics and histological tumor fibrosis proportions will be measured using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.

    15. Computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics as non-invasive predictors of overall survival [ Time Frame: Time between randomization and death from any cause, assessed up to 6 years. ]
      Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model will be fit for overall survival (OS) endpoint (defined above) with covariates chosen from all available radiomics features using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method with 10-fold cross-validation (CV) and additionally adjusted for clinically important confounders. After the final model is selected the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) will be reported to indicate the prediction performance of the radiomics model.

    Title: Reaching Rural Cancer Survivors Who Smoke Using Text-Based Cessation Interventions

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of text-based cessation intervention to a manual in helping rural cancer patients who smoke, quit. Text-based scheduled gradual reduction may reduce the frequency of cigarette use to zero and may be effective in quitting smoking.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S1912CD

    Title: A Randomized Trial Addressing Cancer-Related Financial Hardship Through Delivery of a Proactive Financial Navigation Intervention (CREDIT)

    Purpose: This clinical trial examines a financial navigation program in helping patients and their spouses understand and better manage the financial aspects of cancer care. Cancer patients and their spouses may be at high risk for financial problems because of the cost of cancer treatment. A financial navigator is a person or team who work with patients and their families to help them reduce stress or hardship related to the cost of cancer treatment. Financial navigators help patients understand their out-of-pocket expenses and what their health insurance plans may cover. Financial navigation may also help patients set up payment plans, find cost-saving methods for treatments, and improve access to healthcare services that the patient needs. Providing financial navigation to patients may help reduce financial worries and improve quality of life.

    Title: A Phase II Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial of PROstate OligoMETastatic RadiotHErapy With or Without ANdrogen Deprivation Therapy in Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer (NRG Promethean)

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests whether relugolix and radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in patients with prostate cancer that has spread in a limited way to 1 to 5 other parts of the body (oligometastatic). Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Relugolix lowers the amount of testosterone made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Giving relugolix with radiation therapy may help lower the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading.

    Title: S1802: Phase III Randomized Trial of Standard Systemic Therapy (SST) versus Standard Systemic Therapy plus Definitive treatment (surgery or radiation) of the primary tumor in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

    Purpose: This phase III trial studies how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Addition of prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy to standard systemic therapy for prostate cancer may lower the chance of the cancer growing or spreading.

    TRIAL NUMBER: S2210

    Title: A Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant Carboplatin for Localized, High Risk Prostate Cancer With Germline BRCA1/2 Mutations

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests how well carboplatin before surgery works in treating patients with high-risk prostate cancer and an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping, or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving carboplatin before surgery may shrink tumors in patients with high-risk prostate cancer with BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations.

    TRIAL NUMBER: NRG-GU012

    Title: Randomized Phase II Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy (SABR) for Metastatic Unresected Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Receiving Immunotherapy (SAMURAI)

    Purpose: This phase II trial tests whether the addition of radiation to the primary tumor, typically given with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR), in combination with standard of care immunotherapy improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that is not recommended for surgery and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy photons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses of radiation over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, avelumab, and pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib are in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. They work by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving SABR in combination with standard of care immunotherapy may help shrink or stabilize the cancer in patients with renal cell cancer.

    TRIAL NUMBER: EA8192

    Title: A Phase II/III trial of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) and Chemotherapy for Patients with High Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Prior to Nephroureterectomy

    Purpose: This phase III trial compares the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared to chemotherapy alone.
