Oral Decitabine/Cedazuridine (DEC-C) in Combination With Nivolumab for Patients With Mucosal Melanoma
Activation of the RIG-I innate immune pathway and increased expression of tumor antigens and pro-immune genes by DEC-C during Nivolumab treatment may enhance the frequency and activity of anti-tumor immune cells (CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, NK cells) and reduce the frequency and activity of immunosuppressive cells. This may increase the overall effectiveness and success of Nivolumab treatment. This pilot clinical trial will demonstrate whether combinatorial immunotherapeutic approaches that target epigenetic immune repression and RIG-I activity can favorably alter the tumor immune cell microenvironment and benefit patients with mucosal melanoma.

Osimertinib With or Without Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With EGFR Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Brain Metastases
This phase II trial studies how well osimertinib with or without bevacizumab works in treating patients with EGFR positive non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab may stop or slow non-small cell lung cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving osimertinib with or without bevacizumab may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Overall and Disease Specific Survival in Patients With Confirmed MEN1 With or Without PNET (Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors)
OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of estrogen on the development of the PNET in MEN1 patients. The secondary objective is to evaluate the overall survival and disease specific survival in patients who have confirmed MEN1 with or without PNET and a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in relation to their hormone status. The secondary objective is to evaluate clinicopathologic features in relation to hormone status.

Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection Program
Early detection testing is recommended for individuals at elevated risk for the development of Pancreatic Cancer. This Protocol will define sufficiently elevated risk as either equal to or greater than five times the general population risk, or five times the average risk (1.5%) of developing pancreatic cancer by age 70; that is a 7.5% lifetime risk. Our inclusion criteria has a strong focus on the risk for pancreatic cancer imparted by the presence of hereditary cancer genes, as well as by family history. Enrolled subjects will undergo Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) alternating with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), every six to 12 months, for up to 5 years.

Parental Decision-Making for Children With Relapsed Neuroblastoma
Parental decision-making for children with advanced cancer is complex. Many parents have overly optimistic beliefs about prognosis and as a result choose aggressive measures even at the end of life, which are associated with greater suffering. Yet most parents wish to limit suffering, and in retrospect, many regret choices for cancer treatment for advanced cancer. These findings suggest that parents do not always have the information they need to make decisions that reflect their preferences. The proposed study will evaluate parental decision-making in advanced cancer, addressing gaps in the literature in 3 important respects. 1) Previous work on decision-making for children...

Patient-derived Glioma Stem Cell Organoids
Rationale: Glioblastoma (GM) is the most frequent incurable adult brain tumor with median survival of 15 months after diagnosis, despite extensive treatment with surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Tumor recurrence is inevitable after which life prolonging therapies are no longer available. The development of new treatments for GM is being hampered by inter-and intratumoral heterogeneity of tumors and their microenvironment, which currently cannot be predicted accurately with current diagnostics. Objective: To establish primary patient derived organoid cultures from GM to study mechanisms that contribute to aggressive tumor growth and treatment resistance in...

Pazopanib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Progressive Carcinoid Tumors
This randomized phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with carcinoid tumors that are growing, spreading, or getting worse. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Pembrolizumab and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy or Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab when given together with chemoradiotherapy or radiation therapy in treating patients with small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. Giving pembrolizumab with chemoradiotherapy or radiation therapy may be a better treatment for small cell lung cancer.
