Summary

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.

A Phase 1B Dose Escalation Study Of Metabolically Fit CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells With CD34 Selection Markers In Adult Patients With Relapsed Or Refractory CD19 B- Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma And Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Summary

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.

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with advanced cancer. The purpose of this study is to find subjects with advanced cancer that had an exceptional disease response (improvement) while being treated with standard immunotherapy agents. This study will monitor their progression through a series of blood draws. Subjects will either continue immunotherapy or have completed immunotherapy. Participation in the study will take about 6 visits over a period of about 2 years. During this time the study team will follow your care by clinic visit, phone contact and/or medical record review every three months to collect information on the status of your cancer. This is not a treatment study.

This study will test the how well the drug combination works and how safe it is. The subject will be given the study drug combination in 21 day cycles. At any given visit, the subject may undergo procedures, such as a physical exam, blood samples, bone marrow biopsies, and imaging scans. The subject may remain in the study for up to approximately 2 years.

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) and MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome). This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called Sea-CD70. This study will find out if the drug is safe and tolerable, and find out the maximum tolerated dose (highest dose of a drug or treatment that does not cause unacceptable side effects) or recommended dose for the next phase of clinical study. The subject will be given the study drug in 28 day cycles. At any given visit, the subject may undergo procedures, such as a physical exam, blood samples, ECG (electrocardiogram), or a bone marrow exam. The subject may remain in the study for up to approximately 3 years.

An Open-Label, Phase 2 Trial of Nanatinostat in Combination with Valganciclovir in Patients with Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive (EBV+) Relapsed/Refractory Lymphomas (NAVAL-1)

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with relapsed (the disease has gotten worse after a period of improvement) or refractory (the disease does not respond to treatment) Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive (EBV+) lymphomas.

The investigational drug in this study is Nanatinostat. Investigational means it is not approved by the United States' Food and Drug Administration (US FDA). Nanatinostat is a tablet that will be taken by mouth once a day.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of the combination therapy, nanatinostat and valganciclovir, on treating lymphoma cancers. Valganciclovir is an approved anti-viral drug (a drug that fights against virus in your body), which has been used in the prevention and treatment of infection caused by a virus called cytomegalovirus (CMV), which is similar to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The safety and effectiveness of nanatinostat on its own will also be reviewed in a small subset of patients.

Participants can expect to receive treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity/ side effects, or participants withdraw. Participants can expect to be in follow up for up to 5 years.
