The aim of this supplement study is to learn more about the emotional health and symptom needs of long-term cancer survivors (over 5 years since diagnosis) living with likely incurable disease. Participants in this qualitative substudy will be individuals who are long-term cancer survivors who participated in another study of depression in individuals with likely incurable cancer. We will recruit long-term cancer survivors with likely incurable cancer to participate in one-time, 45- to 60-minute in-depth, semi-structured interviews. We will ask patients about emotional health and symptom burden concerns and elicit attitudes toward digital mental health interventions (DMHI) and preferences for intervention type and delivery. Findings will inform the development of digital mental health interventions tailored to this patient population.
The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to the usual treatment plus dose escalated radiation. This study seeks to find if this approach is better or worse than standard of care for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Treatment and follow up for this study may be up to 8 years. The procedures include CT or MRI scans, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Risks include stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, muscle aches, and weight loss. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.
Using surveys researchers will assess caregiver choice, caregiver quality of life (CQOL), caregiver sleep, caregiver stress, and caregiver burden (CB). Some participants answering surveys (approximately 20), will be chosen by researchers to participate in an interview to gain a deeper understanding of the perspectives of individuals who assume caregiving responsibilities without a personal sense of choice.
This study is for subjects who has been diagnosed with radioactive iodine refractory (RAIR) differentiated thyroid cancer. Subjects are expected to remain in the study for a minimum of 96 months. Drugs are FDA approved and is given in the form of Tablet to subjects. The procedures include urine protein test, CT, MRI. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, weight loss, loss of appetite, changes in taste, redness, pain or peeling of palms and soles, High blood pressure. There is evidence that dabrafenib, trametinib and cabozantinib are effective in stabilizing and shrinking the type of cancer, we do not know which of these approaches are better at prolonging time until tumor growth. However, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.
The purpose of the study is to help to develop a new test that may help with early colorectal cancer detection. This will be done by collecting a blood sample, a stool sample, and other sample types, and comparing the results to hopefully identify a biomarker that can detect cancer more easily than current standards.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with previously untreated, locally advanced, and metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma PDAC. This study is testing two treatment regimens: NALIRIFOX (5-fluorouracil, liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin) vs mGAP (gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and cisplatin).
The primary purpose of this study is to see which of the two regimens is more effective in PDAC. Participants will continue on study medications if seeing clinical benefit, and can expect to be on the study for a maximum of 6 months.
This phase 2 study is enrolling patients who have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with certain biomarkers. This study is being done to see the effectiveness of different combinations of drugs to treat AML. It will involve 3 groups of patients receiving different combinations of Gilteritinib, Azacitidine and Venetoclax. Gilteritinib is an investigational drug, Azacitidine and Venetoclax are FDA approved. The main purpose of the study is to see if the amount of leukemia in the patient's body can be lowered by adding the drug Gilteritinib to the Standard of Care of treating AML with Azacitidine and Venetoclax. The study will include approximately 147 patients. The patients will be randomized into the three groups (like flipping a coin), Group 1 will receive just Azacitidine + Venetoclax, Groups 2 and 3 will also receive Gilteritinib but Group 2 will receive it for more time within a treatment cycle. Patients will complete screening after participating in this treatment trial or SOC therapies. Patients will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, study closure, death, or withdrawal of consent. The main risk is that the study drugs may not be as good as the usual approach for their cancer or condition at shrinking or stabilizing their cancer. Patients may have none, some, or all of the side effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.
