Summary

The Southeastern Consortium for Lung Cancer Health Equity (SC3), led by Dr. Robert A. Winn, assembles an outstanding interdisciplinary team of translational researchers positioned in the heart of the historical and current tobacco-producing region within the southeast. Collectively, SC3's investigative team has unparalleled experience in lung cancer screening, translational research in lung cancer health disparities, community outreach and engagement, and recruiting and retaining racial and ethnic minorities and individuals from other medically underserved groups using evidence-based strategies. As NCI-designated cancer centers, all three centers report high enrollment of underserved minorities onto interventional trials and are committed to reducing the substantial disparities found in lung cancer outcomes in their collective Black/African American and rural communities.

Summary

This study is for patients who have newly diagnosed diagnosed BCR-ABL acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This study is being done to determine the effects (good or bad) of using the combination of a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI), steroids and blinatumomab versus treatment with steroids, Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) and chemotherapy. This investigational therapy will be added to what has traditionally been used to treat your specific sub-type of ALL. Studies are being done in ALL and other blood cancers with blinatumomab.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. The purpose of this research study is to determine if lower doses of radiation therapy are as effective as the standard higher doses. Participants will have tests and procedures that would be performed as part of regular care. Participants will be assigned to one of three study groups based on your risk for cancer recurrence. Depending on the group assigned, participants receive either standard dose of radiation therapy (RT), a moderately reduced dose of RT, or an extremely reduced dose of RT. During the RT treatment, participants will also receive chemotherapy. Chemotherapy will be given at the same dose used in routine care for everybody in the study. Participants will be in the study for up to 5 years.
