Summary

This study is to compare the usual treatment (radiation plus temozolomide alone) to using the study treatment (usual treatment plus the study drug, vorasidenib). The addition of the study drug, vorasidenib, to the usual treatment could shrink or stabilize your cancer. The study drug is FDA (Food and Drug Administration approved. The study drug will be given orally. The study will randomize (the computer will pick the group that the participant will be enrolled in) participant to Group 1 or Group 2.

Summary

Patients are matched with this clinical trial based on their biomarker test results in the myeloMATCH study. This treatment trial is for adults (ages 18-59) with high-risk AML who have not started treatment yet. Doctors consider AML high risk if it has certain biomarkers that can make it harder to treat. Treatment plans for AML often involve several phases of treatment. The first phase aims to get rid of as many leukemia cells as possible. It helps make it easier for further treatment to keep the cancer under control. Usually, the first treatment patients receive for AML is a combination of 2 chemotherapy drugs, daunorubicin and cytarabine. The purpose of this study is to learn if other options for first treatment may work better for people with high-risk AML. The study doctors will test 4 new treatments and compare them to the usual chemotherapy. This is important because knowing AML is high-risk gives doctors more information about the cancer and how to treat it. People with high-risk AML may benefit from a different approach to treatment. Improving options for people in the first phase of treatment could make further phases of treatment more successful.

Summary

This study is for patients diagnosed with early-stage melanoma and are the age of 75 or older. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is treatment with two surgical procedures, a wide local excision (WLE) plus a sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy, followed by immunotherapy. The purpose of this study is to find if performing the WLE alone is just as effective as the usual approach and if it leads to improvements in patients' overall well-being.

A wide local excision (A wide local excision (WLE) is a surgical procedure performed to cut out an abnormal lesion and some surrounding normal tissue; this is sometimes followed by a sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy, in which lymph nodes that cancer cells could spread to are removed as well. Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses your body's immune system to identify and attack cancer cells.

Patients may participate in this study for up to 5 years. Procedures include a surgical biopsy, surveys, and regular visits with your doctor including follow-up study visits or phone calls every 6 months. There will be about 428 people taking part in this study, approximately 39 participants will be enrolled at MUSC.

Risks include infection, scarring, and bleeding. Participants 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.

TulmiSTAR-02: A Two-part Phase I Dose Escalation Study of Tulmimetostat (DZR123) in Combination with Darolutamide or Abiraterone Followed by Open-label, Randomized, Phase II Dose Expansion Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Tulmimetostat in Combination with Darolutamide Versus Darolutamide Alone in Patients with Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).This study is testing an investigational drug called Tulmimetostat, which will be given in combination with standard prostate cancer treatments: Darolutamide or Abiraterone. "Investigational" means that Tulmimetostat has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to determine the safety and potential benefits of Tulmimetostat when given with Darolutamide or Abiraterone. The study will also evaluate whether adding Tulmimetostat can delay the progression of prostate cancer compared to treatment with Darolutamide alone. Participants will receive the study drug by mouth, along with standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Those receiving abiraterone will also take a low-dose corticosteroid (prednisone or prednisolone) to help prevent side effects. Participants can expect to be in the study as long as they are benefiting from treatment or until the study ends. During the first 4 weeks, study visits will occur on Days 1, 2, 8, 15, and 22. Beginning with Cycle 2, participants will have visits on Day 1 of every 4-week cycle. At study visits, participants will undergo health assessments such as physical exams, blood and urine tests, heart monitoring (ECG), imaging scans (CT or MRI), and health questionnaires. Some participants may also have an optional biopsy. A total of 8 patients will be enrolled locally over the course of 32 months.

Summary

This study is for participants with symptoms of mast cell activation (SMAC). The primary purpose of this study is to learn about clonal mast cell diseases. Clonal mast cell diseases are hard to diagnose because symptoms are not specific, and they can overlap with other diseases. The tools currently used by doctors to look for clonal mast cell diseases in the blood may not identify all patients. This study is being done to develop an investigational blood test that looks for a change in a gene called KIT. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Two types of blood tests will be compared against each other. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for about 6 months.

Summary

This study is for patients diagnosed with recurrent/persistent PD-LI enriched squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and undergoing salvage surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment of surgery alone, to using chemotherapy (cisplatin and paclitaxel) or chemo-immunotherapy [carboplatin and paclitaxel with cemiplimab (REGN2810)] plus the usual treatment.

Carboplatin, cisplatin, paclitaxel, and cemiplimab are FDA approved to treat head and neck cancers. This study seeks to answer if adding chemotherapy or chemo-immunotherapy before surgery extends the length of time without your cancer returning compared to the surgery alone.

Patients may participate in this study for up to 3 years. Procedures surgery, blood tests, chemotherapy, and regular visits with your doctor including follow-up study visits or phone calls every 3 months. There will be about 180 people taking part in this study, approximately x participants will be enrolled at MUSC.

Risks include hair loss, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, anemia, infection, and fever. Participants 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.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been newly diagnosed with GCB Subtype of Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). This study is testing an investigational drug called zilovertamab vedotin. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the study, participants will be randomized to two different groups (like flipping a coin). The first group will receive zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP [rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone]. The second group will receive the standard care regimen: polatuzumab vedotin plus R-CHP. The drugs will be given through an IV, and prednisone may be given to participants by mouth. The primary purpose of the study is to learn if zilovertamab vedotin plus R-CHP is safe and effective for treating DLBCL. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for up to 5.5 years. The first six months will be participation in treatment, and the following five years will be follow-up.
