Gabapentin plus Ketamine for the Prevention of Acute and Chronic Pain in Patients with Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer Undergoing Chemoradiation
Multiple Cancer Types
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of a combination of gabapentin and ketamine and to see how well it works to prevent acute and chronic pain in patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy (chemoradiation) for head and neck cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Gabapentin is a medication that is commonly used to treat nerve related pain. Specifically, it has been used to treat pain involving the mouth, throat and nasal passages in head and neck cancer patients treated with radiation. Ketamine is a type of general anesthetic that blocks pathways to the brain involved with sensing pain. This trial may help doctors determine how patients tolerate the combination of gabapentin and ketamine and to find the correct dosing for ketamine in those taking gabapentin. This will be the basis for a future, larger study to look at how effective this combination is at reducing and/or preventing pain in head and neck cancer patients.

A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Multiple Treatment Combinations in Patients With Metastatic or Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Multiple Cancer Types
This is an umbrella study evaluating the efficacy and safety of multiple treatment
combinations in participants with metastatic or inoperable locally advanced breast cancer.
The study will be performed in two stages. During Stage 1, four cohorts will be enrolled in
parallel in this study:
Cohort 1 will consist of Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive participants who have
received no prior systemic therapy for metastatic or inoperable locally advanced
triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) (first-line [1L] PD-L1+ cohort).
Cohort 2 will consist of participants who had disease progression during or following 1L
treatment with chemotherapy for metastatic or inoperable locally-advanced TNBC and have not
received cancer immunotherapy (CIT) (second-line [2L] CIT-naive cohort).
Cohort 3 will consist of participants with locally-advanced or metastatic HR+, HER2-negative
disease with PIK3CA mutation who may or may not have had disease progression during or
following previous lines of treatment for metastatic disease (HR+cohort).
Cohort 4 will consist of participants with locally-advanced or metastatic HER2+ /HER2-low
disease with PIK3CA mutation who had disease progression on standard-of-care therapies (HER2+
/HER2-low cohort).
In each cohort, eligible participants will initially be assigned to one of several treatment
arms (Stage 1). In addition, participants in the 2L CIT-nave cohort who experience disease
progression, loss of clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity during Stage 1 may be
eligible to continue treatment with a different treatment combination (Stage 2), provided
Stage 2 is open for enrollment.

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.

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.

Comparing the Combination of Selinexor-Daratumumab-Velcade-Dexamethasone (Dara-SVD) with the Usual Treatment (Dara-RVD) for High-Risk Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma
This phase II trial compares the combination of selinexor, daratumumab, Velcade (bortezomib), and dexamethasone (Dara-SVD) to the usual treatment of daratumumab, lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-RVD) in treating patients with high-risk newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Selinexor is in a class of medications called selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE). It works by blocking a protein called CRM1, which may keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Bortezomib blocks several molecular pathways in a cell and may cause cancer cells to die. It is a type of proteasome inhibitor and a type of dipeptidyl boronic acid. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Lenalidomide is in a class of medications called immunomodulatory agents. It works by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. The drugs daratumumab, lenalidomide, bortezomib, dexamethasone and selinexor are already approved by the FDA for use in myeloma. But selinexor is not used until myeloma comes back (relapses) after initial treatment. Giving selinexor in the initial treatment may be a superior type of treatment for patients with high-risk newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Testing the Use of Neratinib or the Combination of Neratinib and Palbociclib Targeted Treatment for HER2+ Solid Tumors (A ComboMATCH Treatment Trial)
This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial compares the effect of neratinib to the combination of neratinib and palbociclib in treating patients with HER2 positive solid tumors. Neratinib and palbociclib are in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Giving neratinib and palbociclib in combination may shrink or stabilize cancers that over-express a specific biomarker called HER2.
