Sparing Bone Marrow in Patients with Stage IIB-IV Lung Cancer, VMAT Trial
Lung
Lung
This phase II trial tests whether designing radiation to avoid bone marrow in the spine (vertebral bone marrow) leads to less reduction of white blood cell counts (lymphopenia) in patients with lung cancer. This sparing technique could lead to better disease control and outcome.

Hypofractionated Radiotherapy followed by Surgery for the Treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcomas
Sarcoma
Sarcoma
This phase II trial studies the effect of hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by surgery in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Giving hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by surgery may allow patients with sarcomas to be treated in a much more rapid and convenient fashion.

Gabapentin plus Ketamine for the Prevention of Acute and Chronic Pain in Patients with Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer Undergoing Chemoradiation
Multiple Cancer Types
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of a combination of gabapentin and ketamine and to see how well it works to prevent acute and chronic pain in patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy (chemoradiation) for head and neck cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Gabapentin is a medication that is commonly used to treat nerve related pain. Specifically, it has been used to treat pain involving the mouth, throat and nasal passages in head and neck cancer patients treated with radiation. Ketamine is a type of general anesthetic that blocks pathways to the brain involved with sensing pain. This trial may help doctors determine how patients tolerate the combination of gabapentin and ketamine and to find the correct dosing for ketamine in those taking gabapentin. This will be the basis for a future, larger study to look at how effective this combination is at reducing and/or preventing pain in head and neck cancer patients.

CIBMTR Research Database
Hematologic
Hematologic
The primary purpose of the Research Database is to have a comprehensive source of
observational data that can be used to study HSC transplantation and cellular therapies.
A secondary purpose of the Research Database is to have a comprehensive source of data to
study marrow toxic injuries.
Objectives:
To learn more about what makes stem cell transplants and cellular therapies work well such
as:
- Determine how well recipients recover from their transplants or cellular therapy;
- Determine how recovery after a transplant or cellular therapy can be improved;
- Determine how a donor's or recipient's genetics impact recipient recovery after a
transplant or cellular therapy;
- Determine how access to transplant or cellular therapy for different groups of patients
can be improved;
- Determine how well donors recover from the collection procedures.

Vincristine Pharmacokinetics in Infants
Pediatrics
Pediatrics
This pilot trial compares drug exposure levels using a new method for dosing vincristine in infants and young children compared to the standard dosing method based on body surface area (BSA) in older children. Vincristine is an anticancer drug used to a variety of childhood cancers. The doses anticancer drugs in children must be adjusted based on the size of the child because children vary significantly in size (height, weight, and BSA) and ability to metabolize drugs from infancy to adolescence. The dose of most anticancer drugs is adjusted to BSA, which is calculated from a patients weight and height. However, infants and young children have more severe side effects if the BSA is used to calculate their dose, so new dosing models have to be made to safely give anticancer drugs to the youngest patients. This new method uses a BSA-banded approach to determine the dose. Collecting blood samples before and after a dose of the drug will help researchers determine whether this new vincristine dosing method results in equivalent drug levels in the blood over time in infants and young children compared to older children.

Evaluation of Patient Reported Outcomes in Patients with Digestive System and Lung Neuroendocrine Cancer, NET-PRO study
Gastrointestinal
Gastrointestinal
This study evaluates the patient reported outcomes in patients with digestive system neuroendocrine cancer and lung neuroendocrine cancer. Patients with neuroendocrine cancer usually have a high symptom burden which may have a negative effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Patient questionnaires gather information describing symptoms and effect on quality of life, cancer type and any treatments received. Studying quality of life in patients receiving treatment for neuroendocrine cancers may help identify the effects of treatment and improve future treatment plans. Information gathered from this study may help researchers understand whether patient's diagnosis, symptoms, and order of cancer treatments have any effect on quality of life.

Biomarker Verification in Pediatric Chronic GvHD: ABLE 2.0 / PTCTC GVH 1901 Study
This study will validate a previously developed pediatric prognostic biomarker algorithm
aimed at improving prediction of risk for the later development of chronic graft-versus-host
disease (cGvHD) in children and young adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell
transplant.
By developing an early risk stratification of patients into low-, intermediate-, and
high-risk for future cGvHD development (based upon their biomarker profile, before the onset
of cGvHD), pre-emptive therapies aimed at preventing the onset of cGvHD can be developed
based upon an individual's biological risk profile.
This study will also continue research into diagnostic biomarkers of cGvHD, and begin work
into biomarker models that predict clinical response to cGvHD therapies.
