This study is designed to collect saliva and blood samples from subjects going through the Lung Cancer Screening Program to compare biomarker test results to develop lung cancer clinical risk prediction models further. Also, this study will store blood samples in a biorepository.

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma. The investigational drug given is eflornithine (DFMO) along with etoposide. DFMO is the investigational drug being used along with etoposide for treatment of neuroblastoma. Participants will undergo a number of standard tests and research-related procedures before being able to enroll in this study. Some risks include but are not limited to: fewer red and white blood cells, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, skin rash, seizure, difficulty swallowing and blurred vision. Participants can expect to be on this study for approximately 2 years. Participants will then be followed for up to 5 years after study completion.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and their doctor has recommended external beam radiation therapy. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the side effects of a shorter course of radiation called stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR). The expected duration of the study is up to 28 months including one to four months prior to radiation therapy for treatment preparation, two weeks during radiation therapy, and 24 months after radiation therapy.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The investigational drug in this study is lurbinectedin. Investigational means it is not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of lurbinectedin in combination with atezolizumab versus atezolizumab alone in participants with ES-SCLC. Atezolizumab is already approved for treatment of ES-SCLC.
There are two phases of treatment. During the induction phase of the treatment, participants will receive 4 cycles of carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab. One treatment cycle is 3 weeks long. During the maintenance phase of the treatment, participants will be placed in one of the following treatment groups: Arm A will receive atezolizumab and lurbinectedin given as an infusion (into the vein) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle; Arm B will receive atezolizumab given as an infusion (into the vein) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.
During this study, participants will have visits approximately every 3 weeks while receiving treatment. Visits may last 3-6 hours. After the final dose, the study doctor will follow up about every 3 months. The total time in the study will depend on how the ES-SCLC responds to treatment. This could range from 1 day to more than 4 years.
The purpose of this research study is to find new ways of detecting and treating Hodgkin lymphoma and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (a cancer of mature B-lymphocytes). It is a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of cancer that originates in cells of the immune system, called lymphocytes. The information we learn by doing this research study may help study doctors identify new ways of treating your type of lymphoma. Participants in this study will provide archival (stored) tissue and blood samples. Participation is expected to last about 8 months. The risks and discomforts of this study are minimal. All blood specimens requested for this study will be collected at the time of routine procedures.
This study is for patients with cancer and is being done to see if blood samples from patients with and without certain types of cancer help researchers develop a future blood test for use in detecting cancer early.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using a combination of pembrolizumab and olaparib when given before and after standard chemoradiation therapy in treating locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Pembrolizumab and olaparib are drugs that are approved for treatment of different cancers including lung, head and neck, breast and prostate cancer. However, FDA has not approved use of these two drugs together in treating head and neck cancer.
Treatment will be offered in three phases. In the induction phase, participants will receive a single infusion of pembrolizumab and will take olaparib tablets twice daily for total of 21 days. Participants will move to the chemoradiation phase, where they will receive radiation therapy and chemotherapy per routine standard care, for a total of 7 weeks. Chemoradiation therapy is done on a daily basis (excluding weekends), and chemotherapy therapy will involve a cisplatin infusion once weekly. At the conclusion of this phase, participants start the maintenance phase, which involves treatment with pembrolizumab and olaparib in cycles that are 42-days long. Treatment will include a single pembrolizumab infusion during each cycle and taking olaparib tablets twice daily during each cycle. Total number of cycles to be completed in the maintenance phase are 8 cycles. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 6.5 years.
The purpose of this research study is to gain patient feedback around their Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) diagnosis, including symptoms and quality of life with different NET treatments, factors that influence the order of treatments given, and how the order of NET treatments affect patient's quality of life, symptoms and survival. The main eligibility criteria for this study are being 18 or older and receiving the diagnosis of a neuroendocrine tumor on or after January 1st, 2019. Participation will last about 18 months, involving the completion of four electronic or paper surveys spaced six months apart. The first survey will take about 40 minutes to complete, while the other three surveys may take about 20 minutes each to complete. Participants will be compensated for their time and participation in this research study.
This study is for adult male and female subjects that have been diagnosed with B-cell leukemias and lymphomas. In this research study, some of the subjects immune cells (called T cells) will be taken during a procedure called ‘apheresis', and genetically modified in the laboratory, in order to recognize a protein on the cancer cells. The investigational treatment in this study is called CD19-CD34t metabolically programmed CAR-T cells. The purpose of this study is to test whether these genetically CD19-CD34 CAR T-cells when re-introduced back into the body, will be able to safely and effectively attack the cancer cells. The investigators also want to determine the dose of genetically modified CD19-CD34 CAR T-cells which can be safely administered to subjects. Subjects can expect to be in this study for up to 15 years.
