This trial collects data on response to low-dose skin electron therapy in patients with stage IB-IIIA mycosis fungoides that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or has come back (relapsed). Collecting data on patient's response to therapy, both in terms of changes in the skin and in terms of quality of life following treatment, may help doctors better predict response to therapy.

This study measures the impact of patient-specific 3D specimen maps on adjuvant radiation treatment volumes and doses to critical organs.

This clinical trial evaluates different nerve patterns to the throat muscles (stylopharyngeus and pharyngeal constrictor) and what they look like in different patients by measuring and photographing them in the neck during surgery when the nerves are dissected (separated into pieces) as part of regular surgical care. Researchers think that some of the muscles in the neck might be useful for treating a condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This happens when muscles of the throat relax at night and the airway becomes blocked. Blockage of airflow leads to drops in oxygen levels and can disturb sleep by forcing a persons brain to wake to restore airway muscles so they can breathe. This trial may help researchers provide a new way to treat OSA that may be better than the current standard ones.

This Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-finding study is intended to evaluate the safety and
tolerability, PK, PD, and efficacy of INCB000928 administered as monotherapy or in
combination with ruxolitinib in participants with MF who are transfusion-dependent or
presenting with symptomatic anemia. This study will consist of 2 parts: dose escalation and
expansion.

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).

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability and to determine
the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of E7386 in combination with other anticancer drug(s).

A Phase 2 Study of Evorpacept (ALX148) in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With
Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

This phase II trial studies the effects of niraparib in combination with dostarlimab prior to surgery in treating BRCA-mutated or PALB2-mutated stage I-III breast cancer. Niraparib is a PARP inhibitor, which means that it blocks an enzyme (proteins that help chemical reactions in the body occur) in cells called PARP. PARP helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Dostarlimab stimulates the immune system by blocking the PD-1 pathway. The PD-1 pathway controls the bodys natural immune response, but for some types of cancer, the immune system does not work as it should and is prevented from attacking tumors. Dostarlimab works by blocking the PD-1 pathway, which may help your immune system identify and catch tumor cells. Giving niraparib in combination with dostarlimab may work better against the tumor and maximize tumor shrinkage before surgery.

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.
