Sirolimus in Combination With Metronomic Chemotherapy in Children With Recurrent and/or Refractory Solid and CNS Tumors
This study aims to determine the efficacy of daily sirolimus and celecoxib, with low dose etoposide alternating with cyclophosphamide for pediatric participants with relapsed or refractory tumors.

Social Emotional Development in Young Children With Cancer
Many children with cancer are diagnosed in early childhood, and as such, will likely miss key social experiences such as participation in preschool or kindergarten, playing on playgrounds, and other normative experiences. In typically-developing children, it is known that these experiences - and the skills that are learned during them - are critical to later well-being. Very little is known about the psychological functioning of young children with cancer, as studies have predominantly focused on those who are older (at least 8 years of age). This study will explicitly assess social functioning in preschool-aged children with cancer and follow the development of their...

Sonidegib and Pembrolizumab in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
This phase I trial studies the best dose of sonidegib when given together with pembrolizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with solid tumor that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Sonidegib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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. Giving sonidegib and pembrolizumab may work better than standard treatment in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Sorafenib and Cyclophosphamide/Topotecan in Patients With Relapsed and Refractory Neuroblastoma
This study will combine three drugs: sorafenib, cyclophosphamide and topotecan. Adding sorafenib to cyclophosphamide and topotecan may increase the effectiveness of this combination. The investigators first need to find out the highest dose of sorafenib that can be given safely together with cyclophosphamide and topotecan. This is the first study to test giving these three drugs together and will help determine the highest dose of sorafenib that can safely be given together with cyclophosphamide and topotecan to patients with resistant/relapsed neuroblastoma.

Spanish Study for Molecular Characterization of Thyroid Carcinoma
This project is a retrospective observational study based on the molecular characterization of a Spanish population of patients with refractory radio-iodine differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) with advanced and / or metastatic disease undergoing systemic treatment, or under clinical observation. Three diagnostic techniques will be performed on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor samples from the study population: immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence by in situ hybridization (FISH) as well as Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques by means of DNA and RNA analysis (Ion Platform Torrent - Oncomine Focus Assay, 52 gene...

Spatiotemporal Dimensions of Metabolism in Autochthonous Tumors of GBM Patients
To learn how altered metabolism in GBM causes tumor growth and resistance to drug therapy. In this pilot research study, we will dose GBM patients with a form of nicotinamide (a natural vitamin) that we can track. The nicotinamide will be converted to methyl nicotinamide (MeNAM) in the tumor. We will measure how fast the nicotinamide is converted to methyl nicotinamide. We believe that the speed of this chemical reaction in the tumor (fast versus slow) may be correlated with GBM aggressiveness

Spontaneous Regression in Metastatic Melanoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to collect blood and clinical data from patients with metastatic melanoma and renal cell cancer who have experienced spontaneous regression for studies of immune response and other factors that may influence these occurrences.

SRS for NSCLC With Oligo-residual Intracranial Disease After First-line 3rd Generation EGFR-TKI
Despite the impressive response rate to third-generation EGFR-TKIs, resistance inevitably develops in most patients. Stereotactic radiotherapy plays a growing role in the management of patients with brain metastasis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic radiotherapy for oligo-residual intracranial disease after first-line third-generation EGFR Inhibitors.

START: Safety and Anti-Tumor Activity of PeptiCRAd-1 in Treatment of Cancer
This study is being conducted to explore the immunological mechanism of action of Peptide-coated Conditionally Replicating Adenovirus-1 (PeptiCRAd-1) plus Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy in multiple cancer types, as well as to obtain early information on the safety of this combination therapy.

Step Count Monitoring as a Measure of Physical Activity in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioma Undergoing Radiation Therapy
This trial studies the feasibility of monitoring step count as a measure of physical activity in patients with newly diagnosed glioma undergoing radiation therapy. Physical activity measured by step count may help to improve the quality of life and symptoms for patients with newly diagnosed glioma.
