KaCrole Higgins was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. “In May 2020, I found a lump in my breast. I cried. By June, it was diagnosed as breast cancer, triple positive, stage 1A. While getting this cancer diagnosis was devastating, it also became an opportunity. Suddenly, the cancer gave me clarity. It gave me clarity about what was important, what was good in my life, what was toxic in my life, and what I needed to do.” Click below to read more of KaCrole’s story

Avelumab or Hydroxychloroquine with or without Palbociclib for the Treatment of Stage II-III Breast Cancer, PALAVY Study

Breast

This phase II trial investigates the effect of avelumab or hydroxychloroquine sulfate with or without palbociclib in treating patients with stage II-III breast cancer that is positive for disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) after curative therapy. DTCs are breast cancer cells that are asleep (dormant) in the bone marrow. There are multiple ways in which these cells stay alive, and three of these mechanisms are inhibited by the drugs in this trial. First, dormant cancer cells need a protein signal pathway involving CDK 4/6 to start dividing once they wake up in order to survive as an active cancer cell. Palbociclib works by blocking the CDK 4/6 protein and by doing so may limit the dormant cancer cell from being able to survive. In addition, palbociclib may also help both of the other drugs in the trial to work better. Second, dormant cancer cells also use a process called autophagy to generate their own nutrition, which can allow them to stay asleep. Hydroxychloroquine has been shown to block autophagy, which leads to starvation of the cells. Third, dormant cancer cells are able to hide from the bodys immune system. The immune system sends a type of cell called T cells throughout the body to detect and fight infections and diseasesincluding cancers. One way the immune system controls the activity of T cells is through the PD-1/PD-L1 (programmed cell death protein-1) pathway. However, some cancer cells hide from T-cell attack by taking control of the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction and this stops T cells from attacking cancer cells. Avelumab is an antibody designed to block the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and helps the immune system in detecting and fighting dormant cancer cells. Because palbociclib, hydroxychloroquine, and avelumab work on the mechanisms that keep the dormant cells alive, taking one or a combination of these drugs may be able to eliminate DTCs.

Nivolumab and Ipilimumab for the Treatment of Patients with Locally Advanced, Metastatic, or Unresectable Liver Cancer

Liver

This phase II trial tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab works to shrink tumors in patients with liver cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Nivolumab and ipilimumab may be effective in killing tumor cells in patients with liver cancer.

RBS2418 Evaluation in Subjects With Unresectable or Metastatic Tumors

Phase I

RBS2418 (investigational product) is a specific immune modulator, working through
ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I (ENPP1), designed to lead to anti-tumor
immunity by increasing endogenous 2'-3'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine
monophosphate (cGAMP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP levels) and reducing adenosine
production in the tumors. RBS2418 has the potential to be an important therapeutic option for
subjects both as monotherapy and in combination with checkpoint blockade. This study is an
open-label, multi-site Phase 1a/1b study of RBS2418, a selective ENPP1 inhibitor, in
combination with pembrolizumab or as a monotherapy in subjects with advanced unresectable,
recurrent or metastatic tumors.

A Clinical Trial of Four Medicines (Elranatamab Plus Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone or Maplirpacept) in People With Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination
of elranatamab and carfilzomib and dexamethasone or elranatamab and maplirpacept.

There are 2 parts to this study. Part 1 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of
elranatamab when given in combination with carfilzomib plus dexamethasone. Part 2 has 2 arms.
The first will evaluate the safety and tolerability of elranatamab when given in combination
with maplirpacept. The second will identify the optimal dose(s) of elranatamab plus
maplirpacept.

All study medicines are given over 4-week cycles. Everyone taking part in this study will
receive elranatamab as a shot under the skin. Participants in Part 1 will also receive weekly
carfilzomib as an IV infusion (given directly into a vein) and dexamethasone either by mouth
(as a pill) or by IV infusion. Participants in Part 2 will receive elranatamab in combination
with maplirpacept as an IV infusion (given directly into a vein)

The investigators will examine the experiences of people receiving the study medicines. This
will help determine if the study medicines are safe and can be used for multiple myeloma
treatment. Participants will take part in this study for about 2 years after the first dose.

A Trial to Learn if Odronextamab is Safe and Well-tolerated and How Well it Works Compared to Rituximab Combined With Different Types of Chemotherapy for Participants With Follicular Lymphoma

This study is researching an experimental drug called odronextamab, referred to as study
drug. The study is focused on participants with previously untreated follicular lymphoma (a
type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma or NHL).

This study will be made up of two parts: Part 1 (non-randomized) and Part 2 (randomized -
controlled). The aim of Part 1 of the study is to see how safe and tolerable the study drug
is. The aim of Part 2 of the study is to see how the study drug works compared to rituximab
and chemotherapy (the current standard of care for NHL). Standard of care means the usual
medication expected and used when receiving treatment for a condition.

The study is looking at several other research questions, including:

- What side effects may happen from taking the study drug

- How much study drug is in your blood at different times

- Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less
effective or could lead to side effects)

- The impact from the study drug on your quality of life and ability to complete routine
daily activities.

Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Followed by Niraparib for Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal and Fallopian Tube Cancer

Patients will be registered prior to, during or at the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy
(Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours and Carboplatin AUC 6 IV on Day 1 every 21 days for 3-4
cycles). Registered patients who progress during neoadjuvant chemotherapy will not be
eligible for iCRS and will be removed from the study.

Following completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, interval cytoreductive surgery (iCRS) will
be performed in the usual fashion in both arms. Patients will be randomized at the time of
iCRS (iCRS must achieve no gross residual disease or no disease >1.0 cm in largest diameter)
to receive HIPEC or no HIPEC. Patients randomized to HIPEC (Arm A) will receive a single dose
of cisplatin (100mg/m2 IP over 90 minutes at 42 C) as HIPEC. After postoperative recovery
patients will receive standard post-operative platinum-based combination chemotherapy.
Patients randomized to surgery only (Arm B) will receive postoperative standard chemotherapy
after recovery from surgery.

Both groups will receive an additional 2-3 cycles of platinum-based combination chemotherapy
per institutional standard (Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours and Carboplatin AUC 6 IV on
Day 1 every 21 days for 2-3 cycles) for a maximum total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy
(neoadjuvant plus post-operative cycles) followed by niraparib individualized dosing until
progression or 36 months (if no evidence of disease).

Adding Nivolumab to Usual Treatment for People with Advanced Stomach or Esophageal Cancer, The PARAMMUNE Trial

This phase II/III trial compares the addition of nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab to paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with gastric or esophageal adenocarcinoma that that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). 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. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Adding nivolumab to ramucirumab and paclitaxel may work better to treat patients with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer.
