SM-88 Maintenance Therapy for Advanced Ewing's Sarcoma and as Salvage Therapy for Sarcoma
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of SM-88, a combination metabolic cancer treatment, in two study cohorts: - Clinically advanced Ewing's Sarcoma patients who have not progressed at the conclusion of systemic treatment - Clinically advanced sarcoma patients in the salvage treatment setting Up to 24 efficacy evaluable patients (up to 12 per cohort) will be enrolled. Study patients will receive oral SM-88, with scheduled safety and efficacy evaluations.

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.

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

Spectroscopic MRI-Guided Radiation Therapy Planning in Glioblastoma
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of spectroscopic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiation therapy and how well it works in treating patients with newly-diagnosed glioblastoma or gliosarcoma. Spectroscopic MRI can show doctors where the extent of tumor is in the brain beyond current clinical MRI scans by mapping areas of high tumor metabolism. Radiation therapy uses high energy beams to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Spectroscopic MRI-guided radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with glioblastoma or gliosarcoma.

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.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy with or Without Nivolumab in Treating Patients with Stage I-IIA or Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy with or without nivolumab works in treating patients with stage I-IIA non-small cell lung cancer or cancer that has come back. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy and nivolumab may...

Stereotactic Radiation and Nivolumab in the Management of Metastatic Breast Cancer Brain Metastases
This study is to find out if administration of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) given after Nivolumab will improve overall response rate/anti-tumor activity in patients with metastatic breast cancer with brain metastases.

Stereotactic Radiation in Patients With Small Cell Lung Cancer and 1-10 Brain Metastases
This research study is studying stereotactic radiation (focused/pinpoint radiation that targets each individual tumor but not the surrounding brain) instead of whole-brain radiation (radiation targeting the entire brain) as a possible treatment for patients with small cell lung cancer and 1-10 brain metastases. The intervention involved in this study is: -Stereotactic (focused, pinpoint) radiation
