This phase II trial studies the effect of the combination of ramucirumab and trifluridine/tipiracil or paclitaxel in treating patients with previously treated gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Ramucirumab may damage tumor cells by targeting new blood vessel formation. Trifluridine/tipiracil is a chemotherapy pill and that may damage tumor cells by damaging their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Paclitaxel may block cell growth by stopping cell division which may kill tumor cells. Giving ramucirumab and trifluridine/tipiracil will not be worse than ramucirumab and paclitaxel in treating gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well the combination of avelumab with liposomal doxorubicin with or without binimetinib, or the combination of avelumab with sacituzumab govitecan works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that is stage IV or is not able to be removed by surgery (unresectable) and has come back (recurrent). Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors like avelumab require activation of the patient's immune system. This trial includes a two week induction or lead-in of medications that can stimulate the immune system. It is our hope that this induction will improve the response to immunotherapy with avelumab. One treatment, sacituzumab govitecan, is a monoclonal antibody called sacituzumab linked to a chemotherapy drug called SN-38. Sacituzumab govitecan is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as TROP2 receptors, and delivers SN-38 to kill them. Another treatment, liposomal doxorubicin, is a form of the anticancer drug doxorubicin that is contained in very tiny, fat-like particles. It may have fewer side effects and work better than doxorubicin, and may enhance factors associated with immune response. The third medication is called binimetinib, which may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth, and may help activate the immune system. It is not yet known whether giving avelumab in combination with liposomal doxorubicin with or without binimetinib, or the combination of avelumab with sacituzumab govitecan will work better in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of VBI-1901 in subjects
with recurrent malignant gliomas (glioblastoma, or GBM).

This phase II trial studies how well ruxolitinib before surgery works in preventing breast cancer in patients with high risk and precancerous breast conditions. Ruxolitinib may changes the breast cell when administered to participants with precancerous breast conditions. Ruxolitinib may stop the growth of cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Genes contain genetic code which tell the body which proteins to make. Many types of cancer
are caused by changes, or mutations, in a gene called KRAS. Researchers are looking for ways
to stop the actions of abnormal proteins made from the mutated KRAS gene. The so-called G12D
mutation in the KRAS gene is common in people with some solid tumors.

ASP3082 is a potential new treatment for certain solid tumors in people who have the G12D
mutation in their KRAS gene. Before ASP3082 is available as a treatment, the researchers need
to understand how it is processed by and acts upon the body. This information will help find
a suitable dose and to check for potential medical problems from the treatment.

People in this study will be adults with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid
tumors with the G12D mutation in their KRAS gene (G12D mutation). Locally advanced means the
cancer has spread to nearby tissue. Unresectable means the cancer cannot be removed by
surgery. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. They will have
been previously treated with standard therapies or refused to receive those treatments. In
the European Union (EU) and South Korea, people who have refused to receive treatment with
standard therapies cannot take part.

The main aims of the study are: to check the safety of ASP3082 by itself and together with
cetuximab (a common cancer medicine), how well it is tolerated, and to find a suitable dose
of ASP3082 by itself and together with cetuximab.

This is an open-label study. This means that people in this study and clinic staff will know
that they will receive ASP3082.

This study will be in 2 parts. In Part 1, different small groups of people will receive lower
to higher doses of ASP3082, by itself, or together with cetuximab. Only people with
colorectal cancer will receive ASP3082 together with cetuximab. Any medical problems will be
recorded at each dose. This is done to find suitable doses of ASP3082 by itself or together
with cetuximab to use in Part 2 of the study. The first group will receive the lowest dose of
ASP3082. A medical expert panel will check the results from this group and decide if the next
group can receive a higher dose of ASP3082. The panel will do this for each group until all
groups have received ASP3082 (by itself or together with cetuximab) or until suitable doses
have been selected for Part 2.

In Part 2, other different small groups of people will receive ASP3082 by itself or together
with cetuximab, with the most suitable doses worked out from Part 1. This will help find a
more accurate dose of ASP3082 to use in future studies.

ASP3082, and cetuximab (if used), will be given through a vein. This is called an infusion.
Each treatment cycle is 21 days long. They will continue treatment until: they have medical
problems from the treatment they can't tolerate; their cancer gets worse; they start other
cancer treatment; they ask to stop treatment; they do not come back for treatment.

People will visit the clinic on certain days during their treatment, with extra visits during
the first 2 cycles of treatment. During these visits, the study doctors will check for any
medical problems from ASP3082 by itself or together with cetuximab. At some visits, other
checks will include a medical examination, echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition
(MUGA) scan, blood and urine tests and vital signs. Vital signs include temperature, pulse,
breathing rate, and blood pressure. (Blood oxygen levels will also be checked for people
treated with ASP3082 together with cetuximab.) Tumor samples will be taken during certain
visits during treatment and when treatment has finished.

People will visit the clinic within 7 days after stopping treatment. The study doctors will
check for any medical problems from ASP3082 by itself or together with cetuximab. Other
checks will include a medical examination, echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition
(MUGA) scan, urine and blood tests and vital signs. After this, people will continue to visit
the clinic every 9 weeks. This is to check the condition of their cancer. They will do this
until 45 weeks after treatment stopped, or if their cancer is worse, they start other cancer
treatment, they ask to stop treatment, or they do not come back for treatment.

Also, people may visit the clinic at 30 days and 90 days after stopping treatment. At the
30-day visit, the study doctors will check for any medical problems from ASP3082 by itself or
together with cetuximab. People will have their vital signs checked and have some bloo

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disease characterized by the growth of clonal plasma
cells in the bone marrow. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and toxicity of
ABBV-453 in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Adverse events and change
in disease activity will be assessed.

ABBV-453 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R MM. Part 1 will
be a monotherapy dose escalation phase to determine the best dose of ABBV-453. In Part 2,
participants are placed in 1 of 3 groups called treatment arms. Each group receives a
different treatment. Approximately 28 to 48 adult participants in Part 1 and 150 to 312 adult
participants in Part 2 with R/R MM will be enrolled in the study in approximately 70 sites
worldwide.

In Part 1 and the Japan Cohort, Participants will receive oral ABBV-453 tablets once daily
(QD) in 28-day cycles. In Part 2, Arm 1, participants will receive continuous doses of oral
ABBV-453 tablets QD in combination with oral dexamethasone tablets once weekly in 28-day
cycles. In Part 2, Arm 2, participants will receive continuous doses of oral ABBV-453 tablets
QD in combination with subcutaneous injections of daratumumab every 1 to 4 weeks and oral
dexamethasone tablets once weekly in, 28-day cycles. In Part 2, Arm 3, participants will
receive continuous doses of oral ABBV-453 tablets QD in combination with subcutaneous
injections of daratumumab every 1 to 4 weeks, oral lenalidomide capsules QD on Days 1-21, and
oral dexamethasone tablets once weekly, in 28-day cycles.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their
standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved
institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by
medical assessments, blood tests, and side effects.

This phase II trial studies how well talazoparib works for the treatment of breast cancer with a BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 gene mutation that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Talazoparib is a study drug that inhibits (stops) the normal activity of certain proteins called poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases also called PARPs. PARPs are proteins that help repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as talazoparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. PARPs are needed to repair mistakes that can happen in DNA when cells divide. If the mistakes are not repaired, the defective cell will usually die and be replaced. Cells with mistakes in their DNA that do not die can become tumor cells. Tumor cells may be killed by a study drug, like talazoparib, that stops the normal activity of PARPs. Talazoparib may be effective in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.

Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA) is a rare condition in which the body stops producing enough new
blood cells. SAA can be cured with immune suppressive therapy or a bone marrow transplant.
Regular treatment for patients with aplastic anemia who have a matched sibling (brother or
sister), or family donor is a bone marrow transplant. Patients without a matched family donor
normally are treated with immune suppressive therapy (IST). Match unrelated donor (URD) bone
marrow transplant (BMT) is used as a secondary treatment in patients who did not get better
with IST, had their disease come back, or a new worse disease replaced it (like leukemia).

This trial will compare time from randomization to failure of treatment or death from any
cause of IST versus URD BMT when used as initial therapy to treat SAA.

The trial will also assess whether health-related quality of life and early markers of
fertility differ between those randomized to URD BMT or IST, as well as assess the presence
of marrow failure-related genes and presence of gene mutations associated with MDS or
leukemia and the change in gene signatures after treatment in both study arms.

This study treatment does not include any investigational drugs. The medicines and procedures
in this study are standard for treatment of SAA.

This is a global, multicenter Phase 1/3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of
selinexor plus ruxolitinib in JAK inhibitor (JAKi) treatment-nave myelofibrosis (MF)
participants. The study will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1 (open-label) and Phase 3
(double-blind). Phase 1 (enrollment completed) was an open-label evaluation of the safety and
recommended dose (RD) of selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib and included a dose
escalation using a standard 3+3 design (Phase 1a) and a dose expansion part (Phase 1b). In
Phase 3, JAKi treatment-nave MF participants are enrolled in 2:1 ratio to receive the
combination therapy of selinexor + ruxolitinib or the combination of placebo + ruxolitinib.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, dose-limiting toxicity
(DLT) and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose(s) for expansion
(RDE) of INCA033989 administered in participants with myeloproliferative neoplasms.
