Adjuvant Chemotherapy for High-risk Retinoblastoma After Enucleation
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 3 cycles of chemotherapy(CEV) is not inferior to 6 cycles of chemotherapy(CEV) in the treatment of Stage I enucleated retinoblastoma.

Adjuvant, Combined Interleukin 2 (Proleukin) and DTIC (Dacarbazine) in High-risk Melanoma Patients
The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of the two cancer drugs, Dacarbazine (DTIC) and a low-dose of Proleukin (IL2), would provide a less toxic and more effective treatment for melanoma than currently available treatments for people with high-risk melanoma. Dacarbazine (DTIC) and Proleukin (IL2) are both FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of melanoma.

Adjuvant Dendritic Cell Immunotherapy for Pediatric Patients With High-grade Glioma or Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma
Childhood aggressive gliomas are rare brain tumors with very poor prognosis. Due to the tumor's location and infiltrative nature, surgical removal is not always possible, and even when resection is performed and combined with chemo- and/or radiotherapy, tumor cells frequently persist, eventually giving rise to tumor recurrence. A promising strategy to eradicate persisting tumor cells is vaccination with dendritic cells (DC). DC are immune cells that play an important role in organizing the body's defense against cancer. The goal of DC vaccination is to activate these natural anti-tumor defense mechanisms to delay or prevent tumor progression or recurrence. Previous clinical...

Adjuvant Dendritic Cell-immunotherapy Plus Temozolomide in Glioblastoma Patients
In this phase I/II trial, the primary objective is to determine overall and progression-free survival of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma when autologous Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) messenger (m)RNA-loaded dendritic cell (DC) vaccination is added to adjuvant temozolomide maintenance treatment following (sub)total resection and temozolomide-based chemoradiation.

Adjuvant Encorafenib and Binimetinib in High-risk Stage II Melanoma With a BRAF Mutation.
The purpose of the Columbus-AD study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 12 months of encorafenib in combination with binimetinib in adjuvant setting of BRAF V600E/K mutant stage IIB/C melanoma versus the current standard of care (surveillance).

Adjuvant Nivolumab & Low Dose Ipilimumab for Stage III & Resected Stage IV Melanoma
Effective adjuvant treatment can increase cure in patients with high-risk resected melanoma. High dose interferon is a standard of care in the adjuvant setting but is highly toxic and marginally effective. The combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab is the most active regimen in patients with advanced melanoma so there is clear rationale to test this regimen in the adjuvant setting. Investigators are testing if nivolumab 3mg/kg every 2 weeks with 1mg/kg ipilimumab every 6 weeks in the high risk adjuvant setting. The duration of therapy will be six months.

Adjuvant Nivolumab Treatment in Stage II (IIA, IIB, IIC) High-risk Melanoma
Stage II patients with primary surgical treatment of cuMM are often at risk for recurrence of their disease. This risk may be reduced by adjuvant systemic treatment. Due to toxicities of adjuvant therapies the aim is to identify patients at high risk for relapse and to administer adjuvant treatment only to these patients. Thus an optimal balance between insufficient treatment vs. overtreatment has to be found. To define these patients a prognostic biomarker test will be used in addition to conventional AJCC staging. AJCC staging takes into account several prognostic factors. However, to subdivide stage II melanoma patients into having a low or high risk for relapse further...

Adjuvant Therapy of Completely Resected Merkel Cell Carcinoma With Immune Checkpoint Blocking Antibodies vs Observation
Primary objective: To estimate the efficacy of adjuvant nivolumab monotherapy in completely resected MCC patients Primary endpoint: Disease-free survival (DFS) rate evaluated at 12, 24 and 48 months after date of randomization Secondary Objectives: To describe the safety profile and additional efficacy parameters of the nivolumab treatment in MCC Secondary endpoints: - Adverse events according to CTCAE, Version 4.0 criteria, that are related to the administration of nivolumab - Disease-free survival (DFS) - Overall survival (OS) and OS rates at 12, 24 and 48 months after randomization Explorative Endpoints: - Distant-metastases-free survival...

Adjuvant Treatment Determined By Pathological Response To Neoadjvuant Nivolumab
Subjects with resectable melanoma will receive neoadjuvant nivolumab followed by surgical resection. Post-operatively, subjects will receive open-label treatment with up to 1 year of adjuvant nivolumab or ipilimumab plus nivolumab as determined by pathologic response at the time of resection.

A Dose-escalating Pilot Study of Orelabrutinib for Newly-diagnosed PCNSL
This is a single arm, single center, open label pilot study of Orelabrutinib combined with Rituximab, high-dose (HD) Methotrexate and Dexamethasone in newly-diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphpoma (PCNSL). The purpose is to evaluate the safety and to find the optimal dose of Orelabrutinib and Methotrexate in this combination treatment for newly-diagnosed PCNSL patients.
