Ipilimumab, Nivolumab, and Ciforadenant as First-Line Therapy for Stage IV Renal Cell Carcinoma

Multiple Cancer Types

This phase 1b/2 trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of ciforadenant in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab as initial (first-line) therapy for patients with stage IV renal cell carcinoma. Ciforadenant may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ciforadenant in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab may help control the disease.

Evexomostat Plus Alpelisib and Fulvestrant in Women With the PIK3CA Mutation With HR+/Her2- Breast Cancer

The PIK3CA gene is frequently mutated in breast cancer, leading to disease aggressiveness and
patient mortality. Alpelisib, a small molecule that inhibits the activity of the PIK3CA gene
product PI3K, has demonstrated clinical benefit in cancer patients with this gene mutation.
However, hyperglycemia, an on-target toxicity associated with alpelisib that leads to
hyperinsulinemia, limits the drug's clinical efficacy and induces high grade hyperglycemia in
patients with baseline metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance and/or elevated HbA1c.
Restoring insulin sensitivity and reduction in circulating concentrations of insulin have
been reported to improve the activity of alpelisib.

Evexomostat (SDX-7320) is a polymer-conjugate of a novel small molecule methionine
aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2) inhibitor that has demonstrated the ability to reduce
alpelisib-induced hyperglycemia in multiple animal experiments and has demonstrated
synergistic anti-tumor activity independent of changes in glucose or insulin. Evexomostat was
well tolerated in a Phase 1 safety study in late-stage cancer patients and showed
improvements in insulin resistance for patients that presented with baseline elevated
insulin. Overall, the most common treatment-emergent adverse events with evexomostat (TEAEs)
were fatigue (44%), decreased appetite (38%), constipation and nausea (each 28%), and
diarrhea (22%). All other TEAEs occurred at an incidence <20%.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety of the triplet drug combination
(alpelisib, fulvestrant plus evexomostat), to test whether evexomostat, when given in
combination with alpelisib and fulvestrant will reduce the number and severity of
hyperglycemic events and/or reduce the number of anti-diabetic medications needed to control
the hyperglycemia for patients deemed at risk for alpelisib-induced hyperglycemia (baseline
elevated HbA1c or well-controlled type 2 diabetes), and to assess preliminary anti-tumor
efficacy and changes in key biomarkers and quality of life in this patient population.

Itacitinib for the Treatment Steroid Refractory Immune Related Adverse Events Arising from Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Miscellaneous

This phase II trial tests how well itacitinib works in in patients with immune related adverse events (irAEs) arising from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) that do not respond to steroids (steroid refractory). Steroids are the usual treatment for these side effects. However, sometimes steroids do not improve or fix the side effects. Giving itacitinib may be effective in treating patients with known or suspected problems coming from ICIs, that do not resolve or improve with steroids, by reducing the patient's immune system response that can cause the irAEs.

First in Human Study of Ziftomenib in Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Multiple Cancer Types

This first-in-human (FIH) dose-escalation and dose-validation/expansion study will assess
ziftomenib, a menin-MLL(KMT2A) inhibitor, in patients with relapsed or refractory acute
myeloid leukemia (AML) as part of Phase 1. In Phase 2, assessment of ziftomenib will continue
in patients with NPM1-m AML.

Study of DF1001 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Multiple Cancer Types

DF1001-001 is a study of a new molecule that targets natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell
activation signals to specific receptors on cancer cells. The study will occur in two phases.
The first phase will be a dose escalation phase, enrolling patients with various types of
solid tumors that express human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). The second phase
will include a dose expansion using the best dose selected from the first phase of the study.
Multiple cohorts will be opened with eligible patients having either HER2 activated non-small
cell lung cancer, hormone receptor (HR) positive HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer, or
HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. DF1001-001 will be administered as monotherapy or in
combination; combinations are DF1001 + nivolumab, DF1001 + Nab paclitaxel, and DF1001 +
sacituzumab govitecan-hziy.

Testing Atezolizumab Alone or Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab in People with Advanced Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma

Sarcoma

This phase II trial studies how well atezolizumab or atezolizumab plus bevacizumab works in treating patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma that has not been treated, has spread from where it started to other places in the body (advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Atezolizumab works by unblocking the immune system, allowing the immune system cells to recognize and then attack tumor cells. Bevacizumab works by controlling the growth of new blood vessels. Giving atezolizumab alone or atezolizumab with bevacizumab may shrink the cancer.

Tiragolumab and Atezolizumab for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 Deficient Tumors

Pediatrics

This phase I/II trial studies how well tiragolumab and atezolizumab works when given to children and adults with SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficient tumors that that has either come back (relapsed) or does not respond to therapy (refractory). SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficiency means that tumor cells are missing the SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 genes, seen with some aggressive cancers that are typically hard to treat. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as tiragolumab and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

(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.

Multiple Cancer Types

This is a prospective, multi-center, Phase II study of hematopoietic cell transplantation
(HCT) using human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched unrelated donors (MMUD) for peripheral
blood stem cell transplant in adults and bone marrow stem cell transplant in children.
Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) will be
used for for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. This trial will study how well
this treatment works in patients with hematologic malignancies.

Treosulfan-Based Conditioning Regimen before a Blood or Bone Marrow Transplant for the Treatment of Bone Marrow Failure Diseases (BMT CTN 1904)

Multiple Cancer Types

This phase II trial tests whether treosulfan, fludarabine, and rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) work when given before a blood or bone marrow transplant (conditioning regimen) to cause fewer complications for patients with bone marrow failure diseases. Chemotherapy drugs, such as treosulfan, 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. Fludarabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. rATG is used to decrease the body's immune response and may improve bone marrow function and increase blood cell counts. Adding treosulfan to a conditioning regimen with fludarabine and rATG may result in patients having less severe complications after a blood or bone marrow transplant.
