This study aims to improve cancer survivorship care work by refining how primary care providers and cancer specialists share responsibilities. Researchers want to understand how technology can help these teams communicate more clearly and effectively to coordinate care for survivors. The study team will use surveys, conduct interviews and organize focus groups for interested and eligible participants as methods of data collection to inform the research. Oncologists, Primary Care Physicians, administrative leads and colon or rectal cancer survivors that meet the eligibility criteria will complete surveys, engage in interviews and group discussions from each perspective to learn strategies to improve care, including who should handle which parts of survivorship care. Using this information, the team will create an intervention plan called PRIMES that outlines strategies to overcome common barriers. The ultimate goal is to help survivors receive better and more coordinated follow‑up care.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple-negative breast cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer (or gastroesophageal cancer), head and neck squamous cell cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, or cervical cancer. The study is testing and investigational drug called NRM-823. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NRM-823 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. The study drug is given as an injection into the stomach (or another place, like the thigh). An injection is like a shot between the skin and muscle so that the drug can enter your body. Participants can expect to be on this study until the first radiographic disease progression.
Cancer caregivers in emerging and young adulthood (ages 18-35) are an underresearched and unsupported group of caregivers, and yet they are not uncommon. To address this critical support gap, the goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a caregiving support intervention specifically tailored for emerging and young adults caring for a parent with cancer. This phase of the study is intended to capture feedback on the intervention via focus groups with emerging and young adult caregivers of a parent with cancer.
This research study aims to better understand how the immune system functions in human diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammation. We will collect small amounts of tissue that are already being removed during routine surgeries, such as liver transplants or colorectal cancer resections. These tissues would otherwise be discarded. By studying immune cells and molecules within these samples, our team hopes to uncover how inflammation and immune signaling contribute to disease progression. The ultimate goal is to identify new ways to diagnose, monitor, or treat these conditions in the future. Participation does not involve any extra procedures or risk beyond the surgery already being performed.
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 study is for patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) originating outside of the lung. This study is being done to see if the combination of atezolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide better or worse than a platinum drug and etoposide for patients with advance or metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma originating outside the lung
