Testing the Use of the Immunotherapy Drugs Ipilimumab and Nivolumab Plus Radiation Therapy Compared to the Usual Treatment (Temozolomide and Radiation Therapy) for Newly Diagnosed MGMT Unmethylated Glioblastoma
This phase II/III trial compares the usual treatment with radiation therapy and temozolomide to radiation therapy in combination with immunotherapy with ipilimumab and nivolumab in treating patients with newly diagnosed MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma. Radiation therapy uses high energy photons to kill tumor and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Temozolomide, may not work as well for the treatment of tumors that have the unmethylated MGMT. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies called immune...

Testing Treatment With Encorafenib and Binimetinib Before Surgery for Melanoma With Lymph Node Involvement
This phase II trial studies how well encorafenib and binimetinib work before surgery in treating patients with BRAF V600-mutated stage IIIB-D melanoma that has spread to the lymph nodes. Encorafenib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This trial also studies how well 18F-FLT positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in predicting the response of melanoma to encorafenib and binimetinib. 18F-FLT is an imaging agent, sometimes called a tracer. PET and CT are types of imaging scans. Using 18F-FLT PET/CT together with encorafenib and binimetinib may provide more information on melanoma...

The Impact of an Antibiotic (Cefazolin) Before Surgery on the Microbiome in Patients With Stage I-II Melanoma
This phase I trial investigates the impact of cefazolin before surgery on the microbiome in patients with stage I-II melanoma. Antibiotics, such as cefazolin, given at the time of surgery may cause a significant change in the microbes (like bacteria and viruses) found in the stomach and intestines. This trial may help researchers learn if any changes in microbes affect the body's ability to respond to surgery and cancer.

Therapeutic Trial for Patients With Ewing Sarcoma Family of Tumor and Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumors
This protocol will study treatment for Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) and desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT). Participants with ESFT will be divided into two treatment groups, A or B, based on tumor characteristics. Group A (standard risk) participants have tumor that is not in the pelvis, has not spread to other parts of the body, and are less than 14 years of age. Because previous clinical trials have shown that standard treatment is very effective for children whose tumors have these characteristics, these participants will receive standard treatment. Group B (high risk) participants are 14 years of age or older or have tumor in the pelvis, or the tumor has...

Therapy for Children With Advanced Stage Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood, with nearly 50% of patients presenting with widespread metastatic disease. The current treatment for this group of high-risk patients includes intensive multi-agent chemotherapy (induction) followed by myeloablative therapy with stem-cell rescue (consolidation) and then treatment of minimal residual disease (MRD) with isotretinoin. Recently a new standard of care was established by enhancing the treatment of MRD with the addition of a monoclonal antibody (ch14.18) which targets a tumor-associated antigen, the disialoganglioside GD2, which is uniformly expressed by neuroblasts. Despite improvement in 2-year...

The Study of JS001 Compared to High-Dose Interferon In Patients With Mucosal Melanoma That Has Been Removed by Surgery
This is a phase II randomized, control, multi-center study of recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 mAb for injection compared to high-Dose interferon in patients with mucosal melanoma that has been removed by surgery.

TIL and Anti-PD1 in Metastatic Melanoma
The ACTME study is an investigator initiated, single center phase I/II clinical trial for patients with progressive unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma. The trial consists of both a phase I part to determine safety and feasibility and a phase II part to evaluate first clinical activity of IFN-alpha, nivolumab and TIL. The treatment with IFN-alpha will be added after the combination of TIL and nivolumab has proven to be safe.

Tipifarnib for the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors, Lymphoma, or Histiocytic Disorders With HRAS Gene Alterations, a Pediatric MATCH Treatment Trial
This phase II pediatric MATCH trial studies how well tipifarnib works in treating patients with solid tumors that have recurred or spread to other places in the body (advanced), lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders, that have a genetic alteration in the gene HRAS. Tipifarnib may block the growth of cancer cells that have specific genetic changes in a gene called HRAS and may reduce tumor size.

Tiragolumab and Atezolizumab in Patients with Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Untreated Brain Metastases
This clinical trial is aimed at the evaluation of the safety and clinical activity of tiragolumab in combination with atezolizumab with or without chemotherapy in the first line treatment of metastatic non-squamous NSCLC patients with asymptomatic untreated brain metastases.
