Combination Bevacizumab and PRGN-2012 in Adults With Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP)

Background: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare disease that causes wart-like growths called papillomas to grow in the airway, most often in the voice box, windpipe, or lungs. These growths can make it hard to speak or breathe. Surgery can remove the papillomas, but they often come back. In some cases, they can become cancerous. Objective: This study istesting whether two treatments used together (PRGN-2012, a vaccine-based treatment and bevacizumab, a drug that affects blood vessel growth) can help control RRP and reduce the chance that papillomas will grow back. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older may be able to join the study if they have RRP and meet certain treatment history requirements. This may include people who have previously received PRGN-2012 or bevacizumab, or people who have needed more than 2 surgeries to remove papillomas. Design: Before starting treatment, participants will have screening tests to make sure the study is safe for them. These tests may include a physical exam with blood and urine tests, heart function testing, imaging scans, and an endoscopy. During an endoscopy, a thin, flexible tube with a small camera will look at the inside of the nose, throat, voice box, and upper windpipe. Participants will receive study treatment during 7 clinic visits over about 6 months. Bevacizumab is given through a vein amd PRGEN-2012 is given as an injection under the skin of the arm or leg. Participants may receive 1 or both drugs at each visit. After completing treatmen, participants will return for 4 follow-up visits over 1 year. These visits may include repeat imaging, blood and urine tests, and other exams. After that, the study team will contact participantsby phone or email every 3 months for 2 years. If their RRP gets worse during the follow-up period, they may be able to receive a second course of treatment using the same schedule....

Hepatic Artery Infusion of Carfilzomib in Participants With Liver Metastatic Disease Previously Treated With Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump Therapy

Background: Cancers that begin in the colon, adrenal glands, or bile ducts may spread to the liver. These liver tumors are often treated using a hepatic artery infusion (HAI) pump. The HAI pump is installed in the artery that goes to the liver; drugs are administered directly to the liver through this pump. But these tumors often return after treatment. Carfilzomib (CFZ) is a drug approved to treat another kind of cancer. Researchers want to find out if this drug may be helpful when administered through the HAI pump directly to the liver for people with colon, adrenal glands, or bile duct cancer that has spread to the liver. Objective: To test the safety of carfilzomib (CFZ) delivered via a hepatic artery infusion (HAI) pump directly to the liver in people with cancer in their liver. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with cancers of the colon, adrenal glands, or bile ducts that spread to the liver and persist after treatment. They must have a functioning hepatic artery infusion (HAI) pump in place from previous treatment of HAI pump therapy. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam, blood tests, imaging scans, and a test of their heart function. They will also have a test to show how the blood flows through their liver: A radioactive substance will be injected into a vein, and a special camera will take pictures of the blood flow for up to 1 hour. Participants will receive the study drug for about 6 months. They will visit the clinic once a week. Their HAI pump will be filled with the drug at each visit; the drug will slowly drain from the pump into the liver. Blood tests and imaging scans will be repeated during the study. Participants will have follow-up visits 1 and 3 months after their last dose of study drug. An optional liver biopsy (tissue sample) for research purposes may be done before the study drug is given, and again (optional) within 28 days after first receiving the study drug. Individuals may participate in the study even if they do not agree to have the biopsies done. ...

IL-12 Genetically Engineered Myeloid Cells in Participants With Relapsed, Refractory Solid Tumors

Background: Myeloid cells are a type of immune cell found in most tumors. Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is a protein that helps the immune system kill tumor cells. Researchers want to know if myeloid cells that have been genetically engineered to produce IL-12 (IL-12 GEMys) can activate the immune system to attack cancer cells in solid tumors. Objective: To test IL-12 GEMys in people with cancer. Eligibility People aged 18 years and older with cancer that returned or failed to respond to treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have tests of their heart and lung function. They will have imaging scans of their tumors. A sample of tumor tissue may be taken. Participants will have daily injections for few days to prepare them to undergo leukapheresis: Blood will be taken from the body through a needle inserted into a vein. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out stem cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different needle. The collected stem cells will be modified in a lab to create IL-12 GEMys. Participants will check in to the hospital. They will receive drugs for 5 days to prepare their body for the treatment. Then they will have their own IL-12 GEMys infused through a needle inserted into a vein. They will stay in the hospital until they are well enough to go home. This may be 7 to 14 days or longer. Some participants may receive a second treatment with IL-12 GEMys within 2 years after the first. Participants will have follow-up visits for about 5 years. These will include imaging scans and blood tests. ...

Docetaxel and SX-682 in Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Salivary Gland Carcinoma, and Advanced Prostate Cancer

Background: Head and neck cancers (HNCs) account for about 5% of all cancers worldwide. They grow in the mouth, throat, nasal cavity, or salivary glands. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the United States. Survival rates for these cancers are lower than 50% if they spread to other parts of the body or return after treatment. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a new drug (SX-682), combined with an approved drug (docetaxel, or DTX), in people with HNCs or prostate cancer. Eligibility People aged 18 years and older with an HNC or prostate cancer that has returned after treatment or has spread. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests, imaging scans, and a test of their heart function. A tissue sample (biopsy) of the tumor may be taken. Participants will take the study drugs in 3-week cycles. SX-682 is a tablet taken by mouth twice a day from Days 1 to 11 of each cycle. Participants will get a supply of the drug to take home. DTX is given on Day 8 of each cycle through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Participants will come to the clinic on Days 1 and 8 of every cycle. They will take both drugs for up to 6 cycles. Participants will have follow-up visits 1 week and 1 month after they finish taking the drugs. Follow-ups will continue every 3 months for 2 years. Then they will have phone or email check-ins twice a year until 5 years have passed.

Multitargeted Recombinant Ad5 PSA/MUC-1/Brachyury-Based Immunotherapy (TriAdeno) Vaccine With IL-15 Superagonist N-803 in Participants With Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer Undergoing Active Surveillance

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death among men in the United States. Early-stage, low-grade prostate cancer is managed with active monitoring. However, 35% of men with this cancer will need treatment within 5 years because of tumor growth. Researchers want to know if a new vaccine that targets 3 anti-cancer proteins (TriAdeno) plus a drug (N-803) approved for bladder cancer can help stop prostate tumors from growing. Objective: To test TriAdeno and N-803 in people with early-stage prostate cancer. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with early-stage low- or medium-risk prostate cancer. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have a test of their heart function. They will have an imaging scan. They may have a rectal exam. TriAdeno is injected under the skin of the upper thigh; N-803 is injected under the skin of the abdomen. Participants will be treated in up to four 21-day cycles. They will get both injections on the first day of each cycle. Participants may opt to complete a memory aid: They may record all of their symptoms for 7 days after each injection. They may also complete a questionnaire about their prostate symptoms. Blood tests, imaging scans, and other tests will be repeated during the study. A tissue sample (biopsy) of the tumor will be collected during or after cycle 2; a second biopsy may be taken about 1 year later. Participants will have follow-up phone calls for 5 years....

Collection of CSF Samples From Participants With Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) and HER2+ Breast Cancer With no Prior History Nor Active Radiographically Detectable Brain Metastases

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. It can often spread to the liver, lungs, bones, or brain. Breast cancer that spreads to the brain is often fatal. Researchers want to know if tumor DNA found in spinal fluid, blood, or tumor tissue can help predict when the cancer will spread to the brain. They want to collect these fluid and tissue samples for research. Objective: To collect spinal fluid and other samples from people with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with HER2-positive or triple negative breast cancer. The cancer must have spread to other parts of the body but not to the brain. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests to assess kidney function. They will have an imaging scan of the brain. Participants will come to the NIH clinic to have their samples collected: * Spinal fluid. A thin needle will be inserted into the lower back to draw out a sample of fluid from the space around the spinal cord. A physical exam and blood tests will be done to make sure it is safe for participants to have this procedure. * Blood. * Saliva or cheek swabs. They will rub a cotton swab inside of their mouth. * Tumor samples. If participants have had samples of tumor tissue (biopsies) collected in the past, leftover tissue may be used for this study. Participants will be contacted for follow-up every 6 months for 3 years. They may return once a year to provide further samples.

Anti-CRLF2-R/TSLPR Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (TSLPR-CART) in Participants With Recurrent or Refractory CRLF2-R/TSLPR-Overexpressing B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)

Background: B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is a type of blood cancer. Some people with B-ALL have a gene mutation that makes the disease hard to treat. The mutation causes cancer cells to make too much of a protein called thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor (TSLPR). Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a treatment that takes immune cells (T cells) from a person s body and modifies them to attack specific proteins. Researchers want to test whether TSLPR-CART cells can be given safely to adults with forms of B-cell leukemia, and to learn whether the treatment may help fight these cancers. Objective: To test TSLPR-CART in people with B-ALL. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with B-ALL that did not respond or returned after treatment. They must have TSLPR on their B-ALL. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart function. Samples will be taken from their bone marrow. They will have a lumbar puncture: A needle will be inserted into their back to collect a sample of the fluid around the spinal cord. Participants will undergo leukapheresis: Blood will be taken from their body through a tube. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the T cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different tube. The T cells will be used to create TSLPR-CART. Participants will take chemotherapy over 5 days to prepare their body for the therapy; then they will receive the modified cells through a tube inserted into a vein. Staying in the hospital during part of the treatment is expected and participants will be monitored locally to evaluate for side effects. Approximately 1 month after receiving TSLPR-CART, participants will undergo evaluations to see how the TSLPR-CART impacted their leukemia. Participants will have follow-up visits for 2 years after TSLPR-CART either at NIH or at home....

Stem Cell Transplantation for Participants With Germline RUNX1 Associated Blood Cancers

Background: Some blood cancers can be caused by germline variants (changes) in a person s RUNX1 gene. Germline variants are genetic inherited changes a person is born with. Stem cell transplants are used to treat many diseases including blood cancers. Stem cell transplantation for patients with germline RUNX1 mutation driven blood cancers is standard of care and available in most major medical centers. The difference with this transplantation protocol is that it is prospective, only available to participants with germline RUNX1 variants and designed to determine the extent to which tailoring chemotherapy and supportive care medication doses for each individual patient may improve outcomes compared to data derived from retrospective transplantation protocols for patients with RUNX1 varinats which is less accurate. Objective: The primary objective of this protocol is to determine how tailored doses of chemotherapy and supportive care medications may improve disease free survival as compared to historical/expected disease free survival. Eligibility: People aged 4 to 70 years with blood cancer caused by a RUNX1 gene mutation. Other participants are also needed: (1) stem cell donors; (2) relatives who do not have a mutation in the RUNX1 gene; and (3) healthy volunteers. Design: Participants with blood cancer will be screened during approximately 1-3 months before transplatation. They will have blood tests and tests of their heart and lung function. A sample of bone marrow may be taken. A flexible tube (central line) will be inserted into a vein in participants' chest or lower neck. This line will remain in place during the hospitalization and be used to draw blood and administer drugs. These lines are almost always transitioned to a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line at the time of hospital discharge. Participants will be inpatient for 4 to 5 weeks. They will receive drugs to prepare their body for the stem cell transplant. Some may also receive radiation treatment. Other tests will include imaging scans. The stem cell transplant will be given through the central line. After discharge from the clinic, participants will have follow-up visits at least once per week for approximately 100 days. Then they will have follow-up clinic visits for 3 years. Donors, relatives, and healthy volunteers may provide samples of blood, stool, and saliva. Adults may also opt to provide samples of skin and bone marrow.

Testing the Safety and Feasibility of Immunotherapy Drugs, Botensilimab and Balstilimab, Before Surgery for Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma, NEO RoBOT Trial

This phase II trial tests the effect of botensilimab and balstilimab before surgery (neoadjuvant) in treating patients with high-risk clear cell renal cell cancer that has not spread from where it first started to other areas of the body (non-metastatic). The current standard treatment for patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer may include surgery to completely remove the tumor. This typically involves removing the kidney or part of the kidney (nephrectomy). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as botensilimab and balstilimab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving neoadjuvant botensilimab and balstilimab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with high-risk non-metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer before undergoing a nephrectomy.

Autologous B7-H3 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in Previously Treated Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer With Recurrent or Refractory Disease

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the deadliest form of lung cancer. Extrapulmonary neuroendocrine cancer (EPNEC) is a similar type of cancer that develops anywhere other than the lungs. EPNEC is also deadly. B7-H3 is a protein often found in SCLC and EPNEC tumor cells. Researchers can modify a person s own T cells, or immune cells, to target B7-H3. When these modified T cells are returned to the body-a treatment called B7-H3 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy-they may help kill cancer cells. Objective: To test B7-H3 CAR T cell therapy in people with SCLC or EPNEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with SCLC or EPNEC that either did not respond or returned after treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests and tests of their heart function. They will have imaging scans. Participants will undergo apheresis: Blood will be taken from the body through a needle. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the T cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different needle. The collected T cells will be altered to make them attack cells with B7-H3. Participants will be in the hospital for at least 15 days. They will receive chemotherapy drugs to prepare their body for the treatment. These drugs will be given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. The modified T cells will be infused through a vein. Participants will remain in the hospital until they are well enough to go home. Follow-up visits will continue for 15 years....

NCI Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) Led Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Rare Cancer Registry for Very Rare Solid Tumors

Background: All childhood cancers are rare, but some are called very rare. Very rare cancers are diagnosed in 2 or fewer out of 1 million people each year. Researchers want to gather data so they can learn more about these very rare cancers. They hope to use the data to develop future treatments. Objective: To gather data for a registry of very rare cancers found in children, teens, and young adults. Eligibility: People aged 1 month to 39 years newly diagnosed (within the past year) with a very rare cancer. Design: Participation will be by phone or email. No clinic visits are required. Researchers will look at the participant s medical records. They will ask for samples of tumor tissue that were already removed. They will use the samples for genetic testing. The results of these tests will be sent to the participant s own doctors. Some participants will be asked for saliva or cheek swab samples. They will receive a kit in the mail. They will spit into a tube or swab the inside of their cheek. They will mail the sample back to the lab. Participants will fill out questionnaires once a year for 5 years. They will answer questions about: Family history, such as other cancers in the family and their income, work, and education. Demographics, such as their gender, nationality, ethnicity, education, and work history. Symptoms and treatment for their cancer.

Azacitidine and Abatacept in Relapsed or Refractory T-Cell Lymphoma

Background: T-cell lymphoma is a blood cancer that affects immune system cells. People tend to survive less than 1 year if this disease does not respond to treatment (is refractory) or comes back after treatment (relapses). Azacitidine and abatacept are 2 drugs that are used to treat other diseases. Researchers want to know if these drugs, used together, can help people with T-cell lymphoma. Objective: To learn if azacitidine combined with abatacept can shrink tumors in people with T-cell lymphoma. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with T-cell lymphoma that either came back or did not respond to treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have a test of their heart function. They will have imaging scans of their tumors. A sample of tumor tissue may be taken. Azacitidine is injected under the skin of the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm. Abatacept is infused through a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Participants will receive the study drugs in 28-day cycles for up to 13 cycles. They will come to the clinic for each treatment. They will come to the clinic on day 1 and day 15 of the first cycle. After that, they will come to the clinic on the first 5 or 7 days of each cycle. Each clinic visit will take no more than 8 hours. Imaging scans and other tests will be repeated during the study. Participants will have follow-up visits for up to 5 years after they stop taking the study drugs....

Testing the Impact of an Anti-Cancer Drug, Atezolizumab, After Surgery to Prevent Early Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer From Returning, AASI-NSCLC Trial

This phase III trial compares the effect of atezolizumab (or atezolizumab and recombinant human hyaluronidase) to standard observation for preventing cancer return after surgery (recurrence) in patients who have undergone a complete surgical removal (resection) of stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients who have undergone resection for lung cancer are typically followed by observation or active surveillance, which involves closely watching a patient's condition but not giving treatment unless there are changes in test results. During active surveillance, patients are given certain exams and tests done on a regular schedule. 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. Atezolizumab and recombinant human hyaluronidase is a formulation of atezolizumab combined with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which helps increase tissue absorption of the drug. Giving atezolizumab or atezolizumab and recombinant human hyaluronidase after resection may be effective for preventing NSCLC recurrence, and may be a better approach to treating patients with stage I NSCLC than the usual observation approach.

Testing the Addition of an Antiangiogenic Drug (Bevacizumab) to Chemotherapy (Carboplatin and Paclitaxel) Combined With Immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab) for pMMR, TP53 Mutated Endometrial Cancer

This phase III trial compares the effect of bevacizumab in combination with carboplatin, paclitaxel and pembrolizumab to the usual treatments of carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without pembrolizumab in treating patients with stage III, IVA or IVB mismatch repair protein proficient (pMMR) and TP53 mutated endometrial cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). 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. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding bevacizumab to the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel and pembrolizumab may be more effective than the usual treatment combinations of carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without pembrolizumab in treating patients with advanced or recurrent pMMR and TP53 mutated endometrial cancer.

Induction Pembrolizumab and Chemotherapy Followed by Pembrolizumab Before Chemoradiation and Pembrolizumab Maintenance Compared to Standard Chemoradiation With Pembrolizumab Followed by Pembrolizumab Maintenance in High-Risk Cervical Cancer

This phase III trial compares the addition of induction chemotherapy, with carboplatin, paclitaxel and pembrolizumab, to chemotherapy and radiation, with cisplatin and pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab maintenance for the treatment of patients with cervical cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). 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. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Adding induction chemotherapy to the usual treatment of chemotherapy and radiation followed by maintenance may be more effective in treating patients with high risk, locally advanced cervical cancer.

Autologous T Cells Transduced With Retroviral Vectors Expressing TCRs for Participant-specific Neoantigens in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

Background: Blood cancers (such as leukemias) can be hard to treat, especially if they have mutations in the TP53 or RAS genes. These mutations can cause the cancer cells to create substances called neoepitopes. Researchers want to test a method of treating blood cancers by altering a person s T cells (a type of immune cell) to target neoepitopes. Objective: To test the use of neoepitope-specific T cells in people with blood cancers Eligibility: People aged 18 with any of 9 blood cancers. Design: Participants will have a bone marrow biopsy: A sample of soft tissue will be removed from inside a pelvic bone. This is needed to confirm their diagnosis and the TP53 and RAS mutations in their cancer cells. They will also have a skin biopsy to look for these mutations in other tissue. Participants will undergo apheresis: Blood will be taken from their body through a vein. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the T cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different vein. The T cells will be grown to become neoepitope-specific T cells. Participants receive drugs for 3 days to prepare their body for the treatment. The modified T cells will be given through a tube inserted into a vein. Participants will need to remain in the clinic at least 7 days after treatment. Participants will have 8 follow-up visits in the first year after treatment. They will have 6 more visits over the next 4 years. Long-term follow-up will go on for 10 more years.

Testing the Addition of Anti-Cancer Drug, Cetuximab, to Standard of Care Treatment (Pembrolizumab) for Returning or Spreading Head and Neck Cancer After Previous Treatment

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding cetuximab to pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) and/or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Cetuximab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called EGFR, which is found on some types of tumor cells. This may help keep tumor cells from growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cetuximab and pembrolizumab together may be more effective at treating patients with recurrent and/or metastatic HNSCC than pembrolizumab alone.

Study of Preoperative Radiation Therapy in Participants With Resectable Recurrent Abdominal Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer of the adrenal glands. ACC often returns after tumors are removed with surgery. Less than 35% of people with ACC survive 5 years after diagnosis. Objective: To test a new type of external beam RT before surgery in people with ACC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with ACC that came back after treatment but may be safely removed with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have tests of their heart function. They will have imaging scans. A small sample of tumor tissue may be collected if one is not available. They will undergo laparoscopy: Small incisions will be made in the abdomen so that a thin tube with a light and camera can be inserted to view the organs. RT comes from a machine that aims radiation at tumors. Participants will receive preoperative RT in daily fractions over approximately 2-3 weeks, followed by a planned surgical resection about 4 weeks after the completion of RT. Visits will last 30 to 60 minutes. Participants will undergo surgery to remove their tumors about 4 weeks after they finish RT. They will stay in the hospital 1 to 3 weeks after surgery. Participants will have follow-up visits for 10 years after surgery.

A UGT1A1 Genotype-Directed Study of Belinostat Pharmacokinetics and Toxicity

Background: High-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (HGNEC) are cancers that develop in different parts of the body, including the digestive tract, genitals, neck, and head. One drug (belinostat), combined with 2 other drugs (etoposide and cisplatin), is approved to treat HGNEC. But some people may have a gene variant that affects how quickly their body gets rid of the drug; these people may do better with different dosages of belinostat. Objective: To test higher or lower doses of belinostat based on gene variants in people with HGNEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with HGNEC. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. Some blood will be used for genetic testing. They will have imaging scans and a test of their heart function. Samples of tumor tissue may be collected. All 3 study drugs (belinostat, etoposide, cisplatin) are given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. Treatment will be given in 21-day cycles. For cycles 1 through 6: Participants will come to the clinic for the first 4 days. They will be given all 3 drugs. Imaging scans and other tests will be repeated. Each visit will last 4 to 8 hours. After cycle 6: Participants may continue treatment with belinostat alone. They will come to the clinic for the first 3 days of each cycle. They may continue treatment for up to 5 years if the drug is helping them. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after their last dose of belinostat. Then they will receive follow-up visits by phone or email every 3 to 6 months.

Comparing Rituximab and Mosunetuzumab Drug Treatments for People With Low Tumor Burden Follicular Lymphoma

This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of rituximab to mosunetuzumab in treating patients with follicular lymphoma with a low tumor burden. 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. Mosunetuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known if giving rituximab or mosunetuzumab works better in treating patients with follicular lymphoma with a low tumor burden.

Pacritinib, a Kinase Inhibitor of CSF1R, IRAK1, JAK2, and FLT3, in Adults and Pediatric Participants 12 Years of Age or Older With Myelodysplastic Syndromes or Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Background: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) are blood disorders that can cause serious complications in children and adults. MDS and MDS/MPN can also progress to acute myeloid leukemia. Treatments for these disorders are risky and not always effective. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a study drug (pacritinib) in adults and children with MDS or MDS/MPN. Eligibility: Children (aged 12 to 17 years) and adults (aged 18 years and older) with MDS or MDS/MPN. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have tests of their heart function. They may have a bone marrow biopsy: An area over the hip will be numbed; a needle will be inserted to remove a sample of soft tissue from inside the hipbone. Pacritinib is a capsule taken by mouth. All participants will take the study drug 2 times a day, every day, in 28-day cycles. They will write down the date and time they take each capsule. Doctors will assign varying dosages of the drug to different participants. Participants will have clinic visits each week during cycle 1; every 2 weeks during cycle 2; and gradually increasing to every 3 months after cycle 13. Treatment will continue for up to 8 years. Bone marrow biopsies, heart tests, and other tests will be repeated at intervals throughout the study. Participants will also fill out questionnaires about their quality of life, the symptoms of their disease, and other topics.

Adding an Immunotherapy Drug, MEDI4736 (Durvalumab), to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment (Paclitaxel, Cyclophosphamide, and Doxorubicin) for Stage II-III Breast Cancer

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

Testing the Addition of BMS-986016 (Relatlimab) to the Usual Immunotherapy After Initial Treatment for Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Cancer

This phase II trial tests the addition of BMS-986016 (relatlimab) to the usual immunotherapy after initial treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Relatlimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The usual approach of treatment is initial treatment with chemotherapy such as the combination of cisplatin (or carboplatin) and gemcitabine, along with immunotherapy such as nivolumab. After the initial treatment is finished, patients may continue to receive additional immunotherapy. 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. 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. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. Giving BMS-986016 in addition to the usual immunotherapy after initial treatment may extend the time without the tumor cells growing or spreading longer than the usual approach in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer.

Testing the Role of DNA Released From Tumor Cells Into the Blood in Guiding the Use of Immunotherapy After Surgical Removal of the Bladder, Kidney, Ureter, and Urethra for Urothelial Cancer Treatment, MODERN Study

This phase II/III trial examines whether patients who have undergone surgical removal of bladder, kidney, ureter or urethra, but require an additional treatment called immunotherapy to help prevent their urinary tract (urothelial) cancer from coming back, can be identified by a blood test. Many types of tumors tend to lose cells or release different types of cellular products including their DNA which is referred to as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) into the bloodstream before changes can be seen on scans. Health care providers can measure the level of ctDNA in blood or other bodily fluids to determine which patients are at higher risk for disease progression or relapse. In this study, a blood test is used to measure ctDNA and see if there is still cancer somewhere in the body after surgery and if giving a treatment will help eliminate the cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and relatlimab, can help the body's immune system to attack the cancer, and can interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help doctors determine if ctDNA measurement in blood can better identify patients that need additional treatment, if treatment with nivolumab prolongs patients' life and whether the additional immunotherapy treatment with relatlimab extends time without disease progression or prolongs life of urothelial cancer patients who have undergone surgical removal of their bladder, kidney, ureter or urethra.
