This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that has returned (recurrent) or spread after previous treatment (metastatic). The investigational drug in this study is lenvatinib. The study will also use lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab, which is also experimental. The purposes of this study are to: test the safety of the study drugs, lenvatinib alone, pembro and lenvatinib together, and standard chemotherapies alone in the treatment of HNSCC; see how well the combination of pembro and lenvatinib works, compared to standard chemotherapies; and see if participants who get pembro and lenvatinib live longer than those who are treated with standard chemotherapies. Participants can expect to be on this study for about 48 months.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with advanced or resistant skin cancer (melanoma), non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), certain types of solid tumors, or bladder cancer (UBC). The investigational drug in this study is RP1. RP1 is a herpes simplex virus (a microscopic life form commonly known as the "cold sore virus") that has been genetically changed to grow in and destroy cancer cells. This treatment will be injected directly into tumors. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and how well RP1 works when it is injected into certain types of solid tumors in combination with another cancer drug, called nivolumab. Participants can expect to be in this study for about 2 to 3 years.
The objective of this study is to obtain viable mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from umbilical cords in uncomplicated planned cesarean deliveries. Potential donors will be screened prior to donation of umbilical cords to confirm no infectious disease, viruses and/or diseases. The overall goal is to obtain MSCs from healthy donors for eventual transfusion into patients for potential treatment of diseases, such as chronic pancreatitis, systemic sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, COVID 19, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and other diseases in studies approved by the IRB. We also want to store the cells as repository for other potential therapy.
This study is for women who have experienced a sexual assault in the past one year and use alcohol. The research involves completing a five to seven week behavioral treatment for stress and alcohol use. Participants will complete surveys during visits. Participants may also be asked to complete brief daily assessments on their smart phones.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or large B-cell lymphomas. The investigational drug in this study is CTL019 (Tisagenlecleucel). The purpose of this study is to provide the investigational drug as a possible cancer treatment that would otherwise be unavailable. Patients can expect to be in this study for up to 3 months and in follow up for 15 years.
The purpose of this study is to gather feedback to inform the development of a web-based tool that provides screening and education about alcohol use following interpersonal violence. People who have experienced sexual assault or domestic violence in the last year and drink alcohol, or are currently in treatment for alcohol use, will be asked to provide feedback about a web-based tool for alcohol use. 60-minute interviews will be conducted and will involve viewing the content of the web-based tool and providing feedback. Additionally, feedback given during interviews will be analyzed and then individuals who have used the web-based tool will complete a survey following the tool use if they report using substances. The tool will be tested for use with English and Spanish speakers.
Additionally, the web-based tool will be adapted for use among SMW and TGD survivors of sexual assault. Two areas of the original tool will be adapted: 1) psychoeducation and normative feedback will be made specific to SMW and TGD people's experiences, and 2) sexual and gender minority stress content will be added (i.e., information about sexual and gender-identity related stressors and their association with distress and alcohol use). We will gather feedback via qualitative interviews from 30 SMW and TGD survivors of sexual assault who report alcohol misuse or heavy drinking in the past month.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) . The investigational drug in this study is AG-120. The purpose of this study is to identify and test the highest dose of AG-120 that can be given safely. Participants can expect to be in the study for as long as the study doctor feels it is in the participants best interest.
This study if for patients that have a blood disease and it's been determined that the best option for treating that blood disease is a cord blood transplant. Cord blood (CB) is blood that is taken from the umbilical cord and placenta of healthy newborn babies after childbirth. The cord blood collected from a newborn baby is called a cord blood unit. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers cord blood to be a biological drug. These are considered "investigational" products. This study will evaluate the safety of administration of the investigational cord blood units by carefully documenting all infusion-related problems.
The primary purposes of this study are to:
•Provide access to cord blood units for recipients whose best choice for a cord blood unit(s) do not meet all FDA standards, but do meet standards set by the NMDP on this study.
•Assess how well and how quickly blood counts return to normal after transplant in recipients on this study.
This study is for patients enrolled on COG protocols.. The main purpose of this study is to develop a mechanism for tracking and retaining patients enrolled on COG
protocols. Participants can expect to be in the study for life or until requested by participant.
