This clinical trial will evaluate DS-6000a in participants with advanced renal cell carcinoma
(RCC) and ovarian cancer (OVC). The main goals of this study will be to investigate the
recommended dose of DS-6000a that can be given safely to participants, assess the side
effects of DS-6000a, and evaluate the effectiveness of DS-6000a.

This is a Phase 1b open-label, 2-part study in 2 treatment groups. The 2 treatment groups are
as follows:

Treatment Group 1: OP-1250 in combination with ribociclib (KISQALI, Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Corporation).

Treatment Group 2: OP-1250 in combination with alpelisib (PIQRAY, Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Corporation).

This phase II clinical trial tests how well rigosertib plus pembrolizumab workings in treating patients with melanoma which cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic), and that has not responded to previous treatment with PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors (refractory). Rigosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may change the immune system to make immunotherapy more effective. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving rigosertib in combination with pembrolizumab may be more effective in treating patients with unresectable metastatic melanoma that has not responded to previous treatment with PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors than giving either drug alone.

This phase III trial compares the effect of a metabolism informed smoking treatment (MIST) to standard therapy to help Medicaid and Medicare patients quit smoking. Quitting smoking can help prevent smoking-related diseases like cancer and heart disease and can help patients live longer. MIST includes a free screening blood test to show how fast the body breaks down nicotine in order to help people quit smoking. The screening test is the first step to a study that may help doctors choose the best medication to quit smoking.

This phase II trial tests whether using genetic testing of tumor tissue to select the optimal treatment regimen works in treating patients with clear cell renal cell (kidney) cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced or metastatic). The current Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved regimens for advanced kidney cancer fall into two categories. One treatment combination includes two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab plus ipilimumab), which are delivered by separate intravenous infusions into a vein. The other combination is one immunotherapy drug (nivolumab infusion) plus an oral pill taken by mouth (cabozantinib). Nivolumab and ipilimumab are immunotherapies which release the brakes of the immune system, thus allowing the patient's own immune system to better kill cancer cells. Cabozantinib is a targeted therapy specifically designed to block certain biological mechanisms needed for growth of cancer cells. In kidney cancer, cabozantinib blocks a tumors blood supply. The genetic (DNA) makeup of the tumor may affect how well it responds to therapy. Testing the makeup (genes) of the tumor, may help match a treatment (from one of the above two treatment options) to the specific cancer and increase the chance that the disease will respond to treatment. The purpose of this study is to learn if genetic testing of tumor tissue may help doctors select the optimal treatment regimen to which advanced kidney cancer is more likely to respond.

This phase II trial studies the effect of hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by immediate 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 immediate surgery may allow patients with sarcomas to be treated in a much more rapid and convenient fashion.

This phase II trial studies the side effects of ifetroban in treating patients with malignant solid tumors that are at high risk of coming back after treatment (recurrent) and spreading throughout the body (metastatic). Platelets are a type of blood cells that help with clotting. Cancer cells stick to platelets and ride on them to get to different parts of the body. Drugs, such as ifetroban, may help these platelets become less "sticky," and reduce the chance of cancer cells spreading to other places in the body.
