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 |
If Landon Ryan had been diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma 10, 20 or 30 years ago, she might not be here today with nearly perfect vision.Thanks to recent improvements in the treatment for this rare form of cancer that almost exclusively affects children under the age of 5, the diagnosis had the power to change Landon’s life when she was 11 months old, but not to take it — or her eyesight.

Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced or Advanced Solid Tumors, The ComboMATCH Screening Trial
Multiple Cancer Types
This ComboMATCH patient screening trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.

(Z)-Endoxifen for the Treatment of Premenopausal Women With ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer
Breast
Breast
This open-label research study is studying (Z)-endoxifen as a possible treatment for pre-menopausal women with ER+/HER2- breast cancer. (Z)-endoxifen belongs to a group of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators or "SERM", which help block estrogen from attaching to cancer cells. This study has two parts: a pharmacokinetic part and a treatment part.
The PK part (how the body processes the drug) will enroll about 18 participants. All participants will take (Z)-endoxifen capsules daily. Twelve participants will be randomly assigned (50/50 chance) to take (Z)-endoxifen alone or (Z)-endoxifen with a monthly injection of goserelin a drug that temporarily stops the ovaries from making estrogen. This part will help determine the best dose of (Z)-endoxifen by measuring the drug levels in the blood and how long the body takes to remove it.
The Treatment Cohort has been simplified to a single study arm (Z)-endoxifen + goserelin. Up to 20 participants will be enrolled that have a baseline Ki-67 10% and 45 participants will be enrolled that have a baseline Ki-67\>10%.
A key goal of the study is to see if (Z)-endoxifen can slow down or stop tumor growth as measured by a reduction in Ki-67 levels. Tumor tissue samples will be taken by breast biopsy after about 4 weeks of treatment to check levels of this biomarker. If the tumor shows signs of response, participants can continue treatment for up to 24 weeks or until they have surgery.
Study participation is up to 6 months (24 weeks of treatment) followed by surgery and a one-month follow up visit.

A Study of a New Way to Treat Children and Young Adults With a Brain Tumor Called NGGCT
Multiple Cancer Types
This phase II trial studies the best approach to combine chemotherapy and radiation therapy (RT) based on the patient's response to induction chemotherapy in patients with non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT) that have not spread to other parts of the brain or body (localized). This study has 2 goals: 1) optimizing radiation for patients who respond well to induction chemotherapy to diminish spinal cord relapses, 2) utilizing higher dose chemotherapy followed by conventional RT in patients who did not respond to induction chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide, and thiotepa, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays or high-energy protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Studies have shown that patients with newly-diagnosed localized NGGCT, whose disease responds well to chemotherapy before receiving radiation therapy, are more likely to be free of the disease for a longer time than are patients for whom the chemotherapy does not efficiently eliminate or reduce the size of the tumor. The purpose of this study is to see how well the tumors respond to induction chemotherapy to decide what treatment to give next. Some patients will be given RT to the spine and a portion of the brain. Others will be given high dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant before RT to the whole brain and spine. Giving treatment based on the response to induction chemotherapy may lower the side effects of radiation in some patients and adjust the therapy to a more efficient one for other patients with localized NGGCT.

Targeted Treatment for Metastatic Prostate Cancer, The PREDICT Trial
Prostate
Prostate
This phase II trial evaluates whether genetic testing in prostate cancer is helpful in deciding which study treatment patients are assigned. Patient cancer tissue samples are obtained from a previous surgery or biopsy procedure and tested for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) abnormalities or mutations in their cancer. Valemetostat tosylate is in a class of medications called EZH1/EZH2 inhibitors. It blocks proteins called EZH1 and EZH2, which may help slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Cabazitaxel injection is in a class of medications called microtubule inhibitors. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of tumor cells. Abiraterone acetate blocks tissues from making androgens (male hormones), such as testosterone. This may cause the death of tumor cells that need androgens to grow. It is a type of anti-androgen. Enzalutamide is in a class of medications called androgen receptor inhibitors. It works by blocking the effects of androgen (a male reproductive hormone) to stop the growth and spread of tumor cells. Lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan is in a class of medications called radiopharmaceuticals. It works by targeting and delivering radiation directly to tumor cells which damages and kills these cells. Assigning patients to targeted treatment based on genetic testing may help shrink or slow the cancer from growing

A Study Using Nivolumab, in Combination With Chemotherapy Drugs to Treat Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)
This phase II trial tests effects of nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy drugs prior to radiation therapy patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). 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. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Researchers want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, adding nivolumab to chemotherapy has on patients with newly diagnosed NPC. In addition, they want to find out if children with NPC may be treated with less radiation therapy and whether this decreases the side effects of therapy.

Identifying Effective and Cost-Conscious Maintenance Daratumumab Dosing
Multiple Myeloma
Multiple Myeloma
This phase II trial tests daratumumab given at a reduced frequency with lenalidomide for maintenance therapy for the cost effective treatment of patients with multiple myeloma post stem cell transplant. Darzalex Faspor (also known as Daratumumab-hyaluronidase) is a combination of two drugs used alone or with other drugs to treat adults with certain types of multiple myeloma or light chain amyloidosis. Daratumumab 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. Hyaluronidase allows daratumumab to be given by injection under the skin. Daratumumab and hyaluronidase can be given in less time than daratumumab alone, which is given as an infusion. Lenalidomide may stop or slow cancer cells by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Daratumumab-hyaluronidase is typically given every 4 weeks per standard of care. Giving it every 8 weeks for the first year followed by every 16 weeks for years 2 through 4 in combination with lenalidomide may be equally as effective and reduce costs and treatment visits for patients with multiple myeloma post stem cell transplant.

A Randomized Study of ASTX727 With or Without Iadademstat in Advanced Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs)
Leukemia
Leukemia
This phase II trial compares the effect of ASTX727 in combination with iadademstat to ASTX727 alone in treating patients with accelerated or blast phase Philadelphia chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). ASTX727 is a combination of two drugs, cedazuridine and decitabine. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Iadademstat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving ASTX727 in combination with iadademstat may be more effective than ASTX727 alone in treating patients with accelerated or blast phase Philadelphia chromosome negative MPNs.
