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.

Study of Sacituzumab Govitecan Versus Treatment of Physician's Choice in Patients With Hormone Receptor-positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Negative (HR+/HER2-) Metastatic Breast Cancer Who Have Received Endocrine Therapy

Breast

The goal of this clinical study is to see if sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG) can improve life
spans of people with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer and their tumor does not grow or
spread when compared to current available standard treatments, such as paclitaxel,
nab-paclitaxel or capecitabine. The primary objective is to compare the effect of SG relative
to the treatment of physician's choice (TPC) on progression-free survival (PFS).

Mismatched Related Donor versus Matched Unrelated Donor Stem Cell Transplantation for Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults with Acute Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Multiple Cancer Types

This phase III trial compares hematopoietic (stem) cell transplantation (HCT) using mismatched related donors (haploidentical [haplo]) versus matched unrelated donors (MUD) in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). HCT is considered standard of care treatment for patients with high-risk acute leukemia and MDS. In HCT, patients are given very high doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, which is intended to kill cancer cells that may be resistant to more standard doses of chemotherapy; unfortunately, this also destroys the normal cells in the bone marrow, including stem cells. After the treatment, patients must have a healthy supply of stem cells reintroduced or transplanted. The transplanted cells then reestablish the blood cell production process in the bone marrow. The healthy stem cells may come from the blood or bone marrow of a related or unrelated donor. If patients do not have a matched related donor, doctors do not know what the next best donor choice is or if a haplo related donor or MUD is better. This trial may help researchers understand whether a haplo related donor or a MUD HCT for children with acute leukemia or MDS is better or if there is no difference at all.

A Randomized Study Investigating Preoperative Chemotherapy Followed by Surgery versus Surgery Alone in Patients with High Risk Retroperitoneal Sarcoma, STRASS2 Trial

Sarcoma

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy (doxorubicin or epirubicin hydrochloride [epirubicin] with ifosfamide or dacarbazine) before standard surgery versus surgery alone in improving long-term survival in patients with retroperitoneal sarcomas that are able to be removed by surgery (resectable). Chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin, epirubicin, ifosfamide, and dacarbazine, 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. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and easier to remove and may increase patient survival, compared to surgery alone.

Tabelecleucel for Solid Organ or Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Participants With Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (EBV+ PTLD) After Failure of Rituximab or Rituximab and Chemotherapy

Hematologic

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical benefit and characterize the safety
profile of tabelecleucel for the treatment of Epstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant
lymphoproliferative disease (EBV+ PTLD) in the setting of (1) solid organ transplant (SOT)
after failure of rituximab and rituximab plus chemotherapy or (2) allogeneic hematopoietic
cell transplant (HCT) after failure of rituximab.

Venetoclax in Children With Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

Multiple Cancer Types

A study to evaluate if the randomized addition of venetoclax to a chemotherapy backbone
(fludarabine/cytarabine/gemtuzumab ozogamicin [GO]) improves survival of
children/adolescents/young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 1st relapse who are
unable to receive additional anthracyclines, or in 2nd relapse.

(Peak) A Phase 3 Randomized Trial of CGT9486+Sunitinib vs. Sunitinib in Subjects With Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

GIST

This is a Phase 3, open-label, international, multicenter study of CGT9486 in combination
with sunitinib. This is a multi-part study that will enroll approximately 426 patients. Part
1 consists of two evaluations: 1) confirming the dose of an updated formulation of CGT9486 to
be used in subsequent parts in approximately 20 patients who have received at least one prior
line of therapy for GIST and 2) evaluating for drug-drug interactions between CGT9486 and
sunitinib in approximately 18 patients who have received at least two prior tyrosine kinase
inhibitors (TKIs) for GISTs. The second part of the study will enroll approximately 388
patients who are intolerant to, or who failed prior treatment with imatinib only and will
compare the efficacy of CGT9486 plus sunitinib to sunitinib alone with patients being
randomized in a 1:1 manner.

A Study of Encorafenib Plus Cetuximab With or Without Chemotherapy in People With Previously Untreated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Multiple Cancer Types

The purpose of this study is to evaluate two study medicines (encorafenib plus cetuximab)
taken alone or together with standard chemotherapy for the potential treatment of colorectal
cancer that:

- has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic);

- has a certain type of abnormal gene called "BRAF"; and

- has not received prior treatment.

Participants in this study will receive one of the following study treatments:

- Encorafenib plus cetuximab: These participants will receive encorafenib by mouth at home
every day and cetuximab once every two weeks by intravenous (IV) infusion (an injection
into the vein) at the study clinic.

- Encorafenib plus cetuximab with chemotherapy: These participants will receive
encorafenib and cetuximab in the way described in the bullet above. Additionally, they
will receive standard chemotherapy by IV infusion and oral treatment at home.

- Chemotherapy alone: These participants will receive chemotherapy, the standard treatment
for this condition, by IV infusion at the study clinics and oral treatment at home.

The study team will monitor how each participant responds to the study treatment for up to
about 3 years.

Testing the Addition of Daratumumab-Hyaluronidase to Enhance Therapeutic Effectiveness of Lenalidomide in Smoldering Multiple Myeloma, The DETER-SMM Trial

Multiple Myeloma

This phase III trial studies how well lenalidomide and dexamethasone works with or without daratumumab-hyaluronidase in treating patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, 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. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone lower the bodys immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Daratumumab-hyaluronidase is a monoclonal antibody, daratumumab, that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread, and hyaluronidase, which may help daratumumab work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving lenalidomide and dexamethasone with daratumumab-hyaluronidase may work better in treating patients with smoldering myeloma.
