Comparing the Effectiveness of Less Invasive Procedures With the Current Standard of Care for the Treatment of Older Adults With Early-Stage Melanoma
Melanoma
Melanoma
This phase III trial compares the effect of wide local excision (WLE) alone to usual care with WLE plus sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for the treatment of older adults with early-stage melanoma. A WLE is a surgical procedure performed to cut out an abnormal lesion and some surrounding normal tissue. This is sometimes followed by a SLN biopsy, in which lymph nodes that tumor cells could spread to are removed as well. Using WLE alone may be just as effective as usual care in treating older adults with early-stage melanoma.

Testing the Addition of the Anti-cancer Drug Venetoclax and/or the Anti-cancer Immunotherapy Blinatumomab to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment for Infants With Newly Diagnosed KMT2A-rearranged or KMT2A-non-rearranged Leukemia
This phase II trial tests the addition of venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to usual chemotherapy for treating infants with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with a KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-rearranged \[R\]) or without a KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-germline \[G\]). Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Blinatumomab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Adding venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to standard chemotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with ALL than standard chemotherapy alone, but it may also cause more side effects. This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of adding venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to chemotherapy for the treatment of infants with KMT2A-R or KMT2A-G ALL.

Pilot Study of Bone Mineral Density Changes During Anti-PD-1 Immunotherapy
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment and work by blocking protein interactions that normally prevent the immune system from recognizing and destroying cancer cells. However, these agents, now approved for over 15 types of cancers and for both early-stage and metastatic disease, are capable of causing inflammation in any organ system of the body that can lead to organ damage, dysfunction, and even death in rare cases. Some patients may suffer acute and treatable complications like joint pain, but some may have irreversible complications like hypothyroidism that requires daily, life-long medication. It is therefore important to fully understand the different types of damage ICIs can cause to better monitor patients receiving ICI therapy.
A rising concern from recent reports in the literature is that ICIs may weaken bone and increase the risk of fractures. In this study, the investigators aim to characterize how ICIs impact the bone by examining several factors in patients undergoing curative-intent ICI treatment either alone or in combination with chemotherapy: bone mineral density, bone volume, and markers of bone turnover in the blood. The study will use two imaging techniques to assess bone mineral density and volume. DXA (dual X-ray absorptiometry) imaging uses low-dose X-rays to measure how dense (or strong) bones are and is often used to diagnose or assess the risk of osteoporosis. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) is a 3D imaging technology that can quantify bone structure and volume and offers high resolution that can be used to assess bone in smaller bones of the peripheral skeleton.
The investigators hypothesize that ICI treatment will weaken bones and increase the risk of fractures. As ICI therapy is relatively new, a rising number of patients may be at risk of fractures or have low bone density that is not being monitored because there are no guidelines in place notifying physicians of this potential risk to patients. This is study will provide important preliminary data that will be the basis for larger studies in the future aiming to better monitor and potentially treat bone weakening in patients treated with ICIs to reduce the pain, inconvenience, and complications from fragility fractures.

Study Evaluating [18F]NOTA-ABY030 for Safety and Tolerability of Indeterminate Primary and/or Metastatic Disease in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Head/Neck
Head/Neck
This Phase I, single-institution, open-label study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and diagnostic performance of \[18F\]NOTA-ABY030 PET/CT in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who present with indeterminate lesions on standard imaging. The investigational agent is a radiolabeled anti-EGFR affibody designed for rapid clearance and improved tumor-to-background contrast. All participants will receive a 50 mg cetuximab loading dose followed by a bolus of \[18F\]NOTA-ABY030, with PET/CT imaging performed at defined intervals to assess biodistribution and lesion uptake. The primary objective is to determine safety and tolerability; secondary objectives include radiation dosimetry and comparison of sensitivity and specificity to conventional imaging modalities (MRI, CT, and \[18F\]FDG-PET/CT). This approach aims to improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce unnecessary biopsies, and streamline treatment decisions for patients with HNSCC.

Evaluation of RBS2418 in Combination With Tremelimumab Plus Durvalumab in Participants With Advanced Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Liver
Liver
RBS2418 is a targeted immune modulator that inhibits ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1). It is designed to promote anti-tumor immunity by preserving endogenous 2'-3' cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) from hydrolysis, thereby activating antigen-presenting cells and promoting robust T cell activation. Ideally, RBS2418 acts synergistically with CTLA-4 inhibitors, such as those in the STRIDE regimen (Tremelimumab plus Durvalumab). The hypothesis is that RBS2418 combined with STRIDE will be safe, well-tolerated, highly immunogenic, and enhance anti-tumor responses in adult participants with advanced, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) compared to STRIDE alone.
