Dinutuximab With Chemotherapy, Surgery and Stem Cell Transplantation for the Treatment of Children With Newly Diagnosed High Risk Neuroblastoma
This phase III trial tests how well the addition of dinutuximab to Induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgical resection of the primary tumor, radiation, stem cell transplantation, and immunotherapy works for treating children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma. Dinutuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called GD2, which is found on the surface of neuroblastoma cells, but is not present on many healthy or normal cells in the body. When dinutuximab binds to the neuroblastoma cells, it helps signal the immune system to kill the tumor cells. This helps the cells of the immune system kill the cancer cells, this is a type of immunotherapy. When chemotherapy and immunotherapy are given together, during the same treatment cycle, it is called chemoimmunotherapy. This clinical trial randomly assigns patients to receive either standard chemotherapy and surgery or chemoimmunotherapy (chemotherapy plus dinutuximab) and surgery during Induction therapy. Chemotherapy drugs administered during Induction include, cyclophosphamide, topotecan, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, and doxorubicin. These drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing or by stopping them from spreading. Upon completion of 5 cycles of Induction therapy, a disease evaluation is completed to determine how well the treatment worked. If the tumor responds to therapy, patients receive a tandem transplantation with stem cell rescue. If the tumor has little improvement or worsens, patients receive chemoimmunotherapy on Extended Induction. During Extended Induction, dinutuximab is given with irinotecan, temozolomide. Patients with a good response to therapy move on to Consolidation therapy, when very high doses of chemotherapy are given at two separate points to kill any remaining cancer cells. Following, transplant, radiation therapy is given to the site where the cancer originated (primary site) and to any other areas that are still active at the end of Induction. The final stage of therapy is Post-Consolidation. During Post-Consolidation, dinutuximab is given with isotretinoin, with the goal of maintaining the response achieved with the previous therapy. Adding dinutuximab to Induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgical resection of the primary tumor, radiation, stem cell transplantation, and immunotherapy may be better at treating children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma.

A Study Using Nivolumab, in Combination With Chemotherapy Drugs to Treat Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)
This phase II trial tests effects of nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy drugs prior to radiation therapy patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Researchers want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, adding nivolumab to chemotherapy has on patients with newly diagnosed NPC. In addition, they want to find out if children with NPC may be treated with less radiation therapy and whether this decreases the side effects of therapy.

Optimization of Saturation Targets And Resuscitation Trial (OptiSTART) (OptiSTART)
This study is designed to answer one of the fundamental gaps in knowledge in the
resuscitation of preterm infants at birth: What is the optimal target oxygen saturation
(SpO2) range that increases survival without long-term morbidities? Oxygen (O2) is routinely
used for the stabilization of preterm infants in the delivery room (DR), but its use is
linked with mortality and several morbidities including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). To
balance the need to give sufficient O2 to correct hypoxia and avoid excess O2, the neonatal
resuscitation program (NRP) recommends initiating preterm resuscitation with low (≤ 30%)
inspired O2 concentration (FiO2) and subsequent titration to achieve a specified target SpO2
range. These SpO2 targets are based on approximated 50th percentile SpO2 (Sat50) observed in
healthy term infants. However, the optimal SpO2 targets remain undefined in the preterm
infants. Recent data suggest that the current SpO2 targets (Sat50) may be too low. The
investigators plan to conduct a multicenter RCT of Sat75 versus Sat50 powered for survival
without BPD. The investigators will randomize 700 infants, 23 0/7- 30 6/7 weeks' GA, to 75th
percentile SpO2 goals (Sat75, Intervention) or 50th percentile SpO2 goals (Sat50, control).
Except for the SpO2 targets, all resuscitations will follow NRP guidelines including an
initial FiO2 of 0.3. In Aim 1, the investigators will determine whether targeting Sat75
compared to Sat50 increases survival without lung disease (BPD). In addition, the
investigators will compare the rates of other major morbidities such as IVH. In Aim 2, the
investigators will determine whether targeting Sat75 compared to Sat50 increases survival
without neurodevelopmental impairment at 2 years of age. In Aim 3, the investigators will
determine whether targeting Sat75 compared to Sat50 decreases oxidative stress.

A Study With Tovorafenib (DAY101) as a Treatment Option for Progressive, Relapsed, or Refractory Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and activity of tovorafenib (DAY101) in treating patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), has come back (relapsed) after previous treatment, or does not respond to therapy (refractory). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of disease that occurs when the body makes too many immature Langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell). When these cells build up, they can form tumors in certain tissues and organs including bones, skin, lungs and pituitary gland and can damage them. This tumor is more common in children and young adults. DAY101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Using DAY101 may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Long Term Efficacy and Safety of Orlistat for Type 1 Hyperlipoproteinemia
Type I hyperlipoproteinemia (T1HLP, also known as familial chylomicronemia syndrome or FCS)
is a rare diseasewhere the blood triglycerides (fats) are very high. It is caused by lack of
certain enzymes and proteins in the bodythat are important in disposing circulating fats from
blood. Treatment of T1HLP patients who have very high levels of blood fats (≥ 1,000 mg/dL) is
challenging as conventional triglyceride-lowering medications, such as fibrates and fishoil,
are ineffective.
The purpose of this trial is to study the long-term efficacy and safety of orlistat for
reducing blood triglyceride levels in patients with T1HLP.
• Type I hyperlipoproteinemia confirmed by bi-allelic disease-causing variants in any
one of the T1HLP genes (LPL, APOC2, APOA5, LMF1, GPIHBP1, or GCKR).

A Study of Revumenib in Combination With Chemotherapy for Patients Diagnosed With Relapsed or Refractory Leukemia
This phase II trial tests the safety and best dose of revumenib in combination with chemotherapy, and evaluates whether this treatment improves the outcome in infants and young children who have leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) and is associated with a KMT2A (MLL) gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R). Leukemia is a cancer of the white blood cells, where too many underdeveloped (abnormal) white blood cells, called "blasts", are found in the bone marrow, which is the soft, spongy center of the bones that produces the three major blood cells: white blood cells to fight infection; red blood cells that carry oxygen; and platelets that help blood clot and stop bleeding. The blasts crowd out the normal blood cells in the bone marrow and spread to the blood. They can also spread to the brain, spinal cord, and/or other organs of the body. The leukemia cells of some children have a genetic change in which a gene (KMT2A) is broken and combined with other genes that typically do not interact with one another; this is called "rearranged". This genetic rearrangement alters how other genes are turned on or off in the cell, turning on genes that drive the development of leukemia. Patients with KMT2A rearrangement have higher risk for cancer coming back after treatment. Revumenib is an oral medicine that directly targets the changes that occur in a cell with a KMT2A rearrangement and has been shown to specifically kill these leukemia cells in preclinical laboratory settings and in animals. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, prednisone, asparaginase, fludarabine and cytarabine work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial is being done to find out if the combination of revumenib and chemotherapy would be safe and/or effective in treating infants and young children with relapsed or refractory KMT2A-R leukemia.
* Patients must be 1 month to \< 6 years old at the time of study enrollment and must have had initial diagnosis of leukemia at \< 2 years old.
* Patients must have KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage (ALAL), or mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), which is determined to be refractory or in first marrow relapse. All patients must undergo cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing of a relapsed/refractory blast sample at a Children's Oncology Group (COG)-approved laboratory for KMT2A-R status determination and the presence of a KMT2A- rearrangement must be confirmed by central review. Cytogenetics results must be submitted for central review by Day 10 of protocol therapy, for confirmation of KMT2A-R status. Patients enrolled with refractory disease may utilize initial diagnostic cytogenetics for eligibility and submission for central review if testing was performed at a COG approved laboratory. Patients will be eligible to remain on protocol therapy if KMT2A-R is confirmed by central review. Additional methods of assessing for KMT2A-R may be considered if FISH does not detect the rearrangement.
* Disease status at time of enrollment must be one of the following:
* First relapse (untreated): Any recurrence of marrow disease, with or without other extramedullary sites(s), at any point after achieving remission ("remission-1", per definition below) and meeting one of the below criteria. Patients must not have received any disease-directed therapy for the marrow relapse prior to enrollment, other than permitted cytoreduction.
* Relapse M1: M1 morphology (\< 5% blasts) + at least 2 confirmatory tests showing \>= 1% blasts (testing includes flow, cytogenetics, polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\]/next-generation sequencing \[NGS\] of immunoglobulin \[Ig\]/T-cell receptor \[TCR\] rearrangement, and/or PCR or NGS of fusion gene identical to diagnosis), OR

Additionally, patients must have fully recovered from all acute toxic effects of prior therapy.
* NOTE: Cytoreduction with hydroxyurea and/or corticosteroids is permitted prior to enrollment for patients with WBC \>= 50,000/uL, and by provider discretion regardless of WBC, to reduce potential risk of differentiation syndrome with revumenib initiation. Hydroxyurea and/or corticosteroids may be given for up to 7 days, with no wash-out required.
* NOTE: No waiting period is required for patients having received intrathecal cytarabine, methotrexate, and/or hydrocortisone.

A Study to Compare Standard Therapy to Treat Hodgkin Lymphoma to the Use of Two Drugs, Brentuximab Vedotin and Nivolumab
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding immunotherapy (brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab) to standard treatment (chemotherapy with or without radiation) to the standard treatment alone in improving survival in patients with stage I and II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is made of a monoclonal antibody called brentuximab that is linked to a cytotoxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive lymphoma cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, dacarbazine, and procarbazine hydrochloride work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding immunotherapy to the standard treatment of chemotherapy with or without radiation may increase survival and/or fewer short-term or long-term side effects in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma compared to the standard treatment alone.
* Patients must be 5 to 60 years of age at the time of enrollment

A Study to Test a Medicine (Fitusiran) Injected Under the Skin for Preventing Bleeding Episodes in Male Adolescent or Adult Participants With Severe Hemophilia (ATLAS-NEO)
This is a multicenter, multinational, open-label, one-way cross-over, Phase 3, single-arm
study for treatment of hemophilia.
The purpose of this study is to measure the frequency of treated bleeding episodes with
fitusiran in male adult and adolescent (≥12 years old) participants with hemophilia A or B,
with or without inhibitory antibodies to factor VIII or IX who have switched from their prior
standard of care treatment.
The total study duration will be up to approximately 50 months (200 weeks, 1 study month is
equivalent to 4 weeks) and will include:
- A screening period up to approximately 60 days,
- A standard of care (SOC) period of approximately 6 study months (24 weeks),
- A fitusiran treatment period of approximately 36 study months (144 weeks),
- An antithrombin (AT) follow-up period of approximately 6 study months (24 weeks) but may
be shorter or longer depending on individual participants AT recovery.
The frequency for telephone visits will be approximately every 2 weeks. For site visits the
frequency will be approximately every 8 weeks during the SOC period and approximately every 4
weeks during the fitusiran treatment period. If applicable and if allowed by local
regulation, home and/or remote visits may be conducted during the study

A Trial Comparing Unrelated Donor BMT with IST for Pediatric and Young Adult Patients with Severe Aplastic Anemia (TransIT, BMT CTN 2202) (TransIT)
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.
To be eligible to participate in the randomized trial, an individual must meet all the following criteria:
• Provision of signed and dated informed consent form for the randomized trial by patient and/or legal guardian.
• Age ≤25 years old at time of randomized trial consent.
• Confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic SAA, defined as:
• Bone marrow cellularity \<25%, or \<30% hematopoietic cells.
• Two of three of the following (in peripheral blood): neutrophils \<0.5 x 10\^9/L, platelets \<20 x 10\^9/L, absolute reticulocyte count \<60 x 10\^9/L or hemoglobin \<8 g/dL.
• No suitable fully matched related donor available (minimum 6/6 match for HLA-A and B at intermediate or high resolution and DRB1 at high resolution using DNA based typing).
• At least 2 unrelated donors noted on NMDP search who are well matched (9/10 or 10/10 for HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, and DQB1 using high resolution).
• In the treating physician's opinion, no obvious contraindications precluding them from BMT or IST.
Exclusion Criteria:
• Presence of Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS). The diagnosis of Fanconi anemia must be excluded by diepoxybutane (DEB) or equivalent testing on peripheral blood or marrow. Telomere length testing should be sent on all patients to exclude Dyskeratosis Congenita (DC), but if results are delayed or unavailable and there are no clinical manifestations of DC, patients may enroll. If patients have clinical characteristics suspicious for Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, this disorder should be excluded by pancreatic isoamylase testing or gene mutation analysis (note: pancreatic isoamylase testing is not useful in children \<3). Other testing per center may be performed to exclude IBMFS.
• Clonal cytogenetic abnormalities or Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) pattern consistent with pre- myelodysplastic syndrome (pre-MDS) or MDS on marrow examination.
• Known severe allergy to ATG.
• Prior allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplant.
• Prior solid organ transplant.
• Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
• Active Hepatitis B or C. This only needs to be excluded in patients where there is clinical suspicion of hepatitis (e.g., elevated LFTs).
• Female patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
• Prior malignancies except resected basal cell carcinoma or treated cervical carcinoma in situ.
• Disease modifying treatment prior to study enrollment, including but not limited to use of androgens, eltrombopag, romiplostim, or immune suppression. Note: Supportive care measures such as G-CSF, blood transfusion support and antibiotics are allowable
A Trial to See if the Combination of Fianlimab With Cemiplimab Works Better Than Pembrolizumab for Preventing or Delaying Melanoma From Coming Back After it Has Been Removed With Surgery
This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN3767, also known as fianlimab (R3767), when combined with another medication called cemiplimab (each individually called a "study drug" or called "study drugs" when combined) compared with an approved medication called pembrolizumab.
The objective of this study is to see if the combination of fianlimab and cemiplimab is an effective treatment compared to pembrolizumab in patients that have had melanoma removal surgery but are still at high risk for the recurrence of the disease. Pembrolizumab is an approved treatment in some countries in this clinical setting.
The study is looking at several other research questions, including:
* What side effects may happen from receiving the study drugs.
* How much study drug is in the blood at different times.
* Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects). Antibodies are proteins that are naturally found in the blood stream that fight infections.
* How administering the study drugs might improve quality of life.
• All patients must be either stage IIB, IIC, III, or stage IV per American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition and have histologically confirmed melanoma that is completely surgically resected in order to be eligible as defined by the protocol
• Complete surgical resection must be performed within 12 weeks prior to randomization, and enrollment may occur only after satisfactory wound healing from the surgery
• All patients must have disease-free status documented by a complete physical examination and imaging studies within 4 weeks prior to randomization, as described in the protocol

Percutaneous Intervention Versus Observational Trial of Arterial Ductus in Low Weight Infants (PIVOTAL)
Patent Ductus Arteriosus is a developmental condition commonly observed among preterm
infants. It is a condition where the opening between the two major blood vessels leading from
the heart fail to close after birth. In the womb, the opening (ductus arteriosus) is the
normal part of the circulatory system of the baby, but is expected to close at full term
birth. If the opening is tiny, the condition can be self-limiting. If not,
medications/surgery are options for treatment.
There are two ways to treat patent ductus arteriosus - one is through closure of the opening
with an FDA approved device called PICCOLO, the other is through supportive management
(medications). No randomized controlled trials have been done previously to see if one of
better than the other. Through our PIVOTAL study, the investigators aim to determine is one
is indeed better than the other - if it is found that the percutaneous closure with PICCOLO
is better, then it would immediately lead to a new standard of care. If not, then the
investigators avoid an invasive costly procedure going forward.

Standardizing Treatments for Pulmonary Exacerbations - Aminoglycoside Study (STOP360AG)
The purpose of this study is to look at pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic
fibrosis (CF) that need to be treated with antibiotics given through a tube inserted into a
vein (intravenous or IV). A pulmonary exacerbation is a worsening of respiratory symptoms in
people with CF that needs medical intervention. Both doctors and CF patients are trying to
understand the best way to treat pulmonary exacerbations. This study is trying to answer the
following questions about treating a pulmonary exacerbation:
- Do participants have the same improvement in lung function and symptoms if they are
treated with one type of antibiotic (called beta-lactams or β-lactams) versus taking two
different types of antibiotics (tobramycin and β-lactams)?
- Is taking one type of antibiotic just as good as taking two types?
