This phase III trial compares the effect of usual treatment of chemotherapy and steroids and a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) to the same treatment plus blinatumomab. Blinatumomab is a Bi-specific T-Cell Engager (BiTE) that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. The information gained from this study may help researchers determine if combination therapy with steroids, TKIs, and blinatumomab work better than the standard of care.

This phase III trial compares the addition of total ablative therapy to the usual systemic therapy versus the usual systemic therapy alone in treating patients with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to up to 4 body sites (limited metastatic). The usual approach for patients who are not participating in a study is treatment with intravenous (through a vein) and/or oral medications (systemic therapy) to help stop the cancer sites from getting larger and the spread of the cancer to additional body sites. The ablative local therapy will consist of very focused, intensive radiotherapy called stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) with or without surgical resection and/or microwave ablation, which is a procedure where a needle is temporarily inserted in the tumor and heat is used to destroy the cancer cells. The addition of ablative local therapy to the usual approach of systemic therapy could be more effective than usual chemotherapy alone by increasing the life of patients with limited metastatic colorectal cancer.

This phase I/Ib trial identifies the side effects and best dose of abemaciclib when given together with olaparib in treating patients with ovarian cancer that responds at first to treatment with drugs that contain the metal platinum but then comes back within a certain period (recurrent platinum-resistant). Abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Adding abemaciclib to olaparib may work better to treat recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab
(MK-3475) in participants from previous Merck pembrolizumab-based parent studies who
transition into this extension study.

This study will consist of three phases: 1) First Course Phase, 2) Survival Follow-up Phase
or 3) Second Course Phase. Each participant will transition to this extension study in one of
the following three phases, depending on the study phase they were in at the completion of
the parent study. Participants who were in the First Course Phase of study treatment with
pembrolizumab or lenvatinib in their parent study will enter the First Course Phase of this
study and complete up to 35 doses or more every 3 weeks (Q3W) or 17 doses or more every 6
weeks (Q6W) of study treatment with pembrolizumab or a pembrolizumab-based combination or
lenvatinib according to arm assignment. Participants who were in the Follow-up Phase in the
parent study (post-treatment or Survival Follow-up Phase) will enter the Survival Follow-up
Phase of this study. Participants who were in the Second Course Phase in their parent study
will enter Second Course Phase of this study and complete up to 17 doses Q3W or 8 doses Q6W
of study treatment with pembrolizumab or a pembrolizumab-based combination according to arm
assignment.

Any participant originating from a parent trial where crossover to pembrolizumab was
permitted upon disease progression may be eligible for 35 doses as Q3W or 17 doses Q6W of
pembrolizumab (approximately 2 years), if they progress while on the control arm and
pembrolizumab is approved for the indication in the country where the potential eligible
crossover participant is being evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether the study drug, LY3537982, is safe and
effective in cancer patients who have a specific genetic mutation (KRAS G12C). Patients must
have already received or were not able to tolerate the standard of care, except for specific
groups who have not had cancer treatment. The study will last up to approximately 4 years.

This study is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, dose-escalation, open-label trial to assess safety,
tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of TP-3654 in patients with intermediate
or high-risk primary or secondary MF.

CB010A is a study evaluating safety, emerging efficacy, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity
of CB-010 in adults with relapsed/refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma after
lymphodepletion consisting of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine.

This phase II/III trial tests the role of DNA released from tumor cells into the blood in guiding the use of immunotherapy (nivolumab alone or with relatlimab) after surgical removal of the bladder for bladder cancer treatment. DNA is material found inside all of our cells that acts as a blueprint for how cells function. Tumor cells often have abnormal DNA that looks different than DNA in normal cells. A new test called Signatera has been developed that can detect bladder cancer DNA in the blood which might indicate the presence of bladder tumor cells somewhere in the body. 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. Relatlimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help doctors determine if the Signatera test can better identify which patients need an additional treatment with immunotherapy to help prevent bladder cancer from coming back after surgery.

This phase II trial studies the effect of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate compared to the usual treatment (everolimus) in treating patients with somatostatin receptor positive bronchial neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Radioactive drugs, such as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and may reduce harm to normal cells. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may be more effective than everolimus in shrinking or stabilizing advanced bronchial neuroendocrine tumors.

This phase II trial studies how well TPIV100 and sargramostim work in treating patients with HER2 positive, stage I-III breast cancer that has residual disease after chemotherapy prior to surgery. It also studies why some HER2 positive breast cancer patients respond better to chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. TPIV100 is a type of vaccine made from HER2 peptide that may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express HER2. Sargramostim increases the number of white blood cells in the body following chemotherapy for certain types of cancer and is used to alert the immune system. It is not yet known if TPIV100 and sargramostim will work better in treating patients with HER2 positive, stage I-III breast cancer.
