Intra-nasalKetorolacfor Acute Ureteral Stent-associated Pain Following Ureteroscopy for Stone Disease
Objective: To improve quality-of-life and health care delivery to patients receiving ureteral stents.
Specific Aims: Evaluate the feasibility, practicality, and qualitative outcomes of utilizing intra-nasal ketorolac in patients with indwelling ureteral stents (Phase I), followed by a randomized trial comparing two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, intra-nasal Ketorolac versus oral Diclofenac.
Hypotheses: Due to its favorable pharmacokinetics in relieving acute pain, investigators expect improved pain scores and a lower rate of unplanned clinical encounters in patients receiving intra-nasal ketorolac compared to those taking oral diclofenac following ureteroscopic surgery for urolithiasis.
Study Rationale: Following ureteroscopic management of urolithiasis, patient with indwelling ureter stents have higher levels of discomfort compared to those without a ureter stent. Prior studies showed that intramuscular Ketorolac at time of ureter stent removal decreased the incidence of unplanned clinical encounters. Furthermore, onset of analgesic effect by intra-nasal ketorolac is faster than its oral form, and similar its intramuscular and intravenous counterparts.

A Study Using Nivolumab, in Combination With Chemotherapy Drugs to Treat NasopharyngealCarcinoma (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.

Testing an Immunotherapy Anti-cancer Drug, Nivolumab, for Advanced Cancers in Patients With Autoimmune Disorders, AIM-NIVO
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works alone and in combination with other treatments, such as ipilimumab, cabozantinib, platinum containing therapy, and fluoropyrimidine, in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib blocks certain proteins, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Cabozantinib is a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor and a type of angiogenesis inhibitor. Chemotherapy drugs, such as platinum containing therapies and fluoropyrimidine, 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. Giving nivolumab alone and in combination with other treatments, including ipilimumab, cabozantinib, platinum containing therapy, or fluoropyrimidine, may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and advanced, metastatic, or unresectable cancer.
* Patients can have either histologically confirmed malignancy that is radiologically evaluable and metastatic or unresectable, or have a malignancy for which a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor has been approved in the adjuvant setting, as well as the neoadjuvant or perioperative setting in which such treatment is considered standard of care or has been approved. Eligible tumor types include solid tumors and malignancies in which there is known evidence of clinical activity for single agent PD-1 or PD-L1 antibodies. Nivolumab or other PD1/PD-L1 inhibitors are FDA-approved for the treatment of melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Merkel cell cancer, bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cervical cancer, head and neck cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), metastatic small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and any solid tumor with microsatellite instability (MSI)-high status confirmed. Patients with HL are eligible but must follow standard response criteria. Additional tumor types may be eligible on a case by case basis upon discussion with principal investigator (PI)
* Patients enrolling on the trial for adjuvant use will be restricted to those with histology for which a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor has been approved in the adjuvant setting including but not limited to NSCLC, melanoma, RCC, cervical cancer, and bladder cancer
* Patients enrolled on the study can receive Nivolumab with other FDA-approved combinations according to the FDA package insert, including, but not limited to ipilimumab, cabozantinib or chemotherapy
* Patients who have previously received other forms of immunotherapy (high-dose \[HD\] IL-2, IFN, CTLA-4) are allowed. Patients must not have received cytokine immunotherapy for at least 4 weeks before nivolumab administration. Patients who have received prior anti-CTLA4 will be allowed and the washout period is 6 weeks

* Creatinine ULN OR glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 30 mL/min (if using the Cockcroft-Gault formula)
* Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective antiretroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
* If evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy if indicated
* If history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, must be treated with undetectable HCV viral load
* Patients with new or progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or leptomeningeal disease are eligible if the treating physician determines that immediate central nervous system (CNS) specific treatment is not required and is unlikely to be required for at least 4 weeks (or scheduled assessment after the first cycle of treatment), and a risk-benefit analysis (discussion) by the patient and the investigator favors participation in the clinical trial
* The effects of nivolumab on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. WOCBP receiving nivolumab will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 5 months after the last dose of investigational product. Men receiving nivolumab and who are sexually active with WOCBP will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 7 months after the last dose of investigational product
* Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin \[HCG\]) within 24 hours prior to the start of nivolumab. Women must not be breastfeeding. Women who are not of childbearing potential (i.e., who are postmenopausal or surgically sterile as well as azoospermic men) do not require contraception
* WOCBP is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy), tubal ligation, or who is not postmenopausal. Menopause is defined clinically as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In addition, women under the age of 55 must have a documented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level less than 40 mIU/mL
* These durations have been calculated using the upper limit of the half-life for nivolumab (25 days) and are based on the protocol requirement that WOCBP use contraception for 5 half-lives plus 30 days, and men who are sexually active with WOCBP use contraception for 5 half-lives plus 90 days
* Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she (or the participating partner) should inform the treating physician immediately. Patients can resume treatment upon termination of a pregnancy or the completion of a successful pregnancy
* Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
* Patients with more than one autoimmune disease are eligible. The treating physician would determine which autoimmune disease is dominant and the patient would be treated under that specific cohort (Please note: Patients with more than one autoimmune disease should receive assessments for all previously diagnosed autoimmune diseases. For example, a patient with psoriasis and IBD might be enrolled in the IBD cohort. Disease assessments for both psoriasis and IBD should be obtained, as per protocol. Case report forms \[CRFs\] for all relevant autoimmune diseases should be utilized. However, all additional cohort requirements will be considered optional and only the assessments from the assigned cohort will be considered mandatory)

LISA in the Delivery Room for Extremely Preterm Infants (DRLISA)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of LISA used in the delivery room (DR) in
decreasing the intubation rates in preterm infants at 23-25 weeks gestational age (GA),
during first 72 hours compared to the standard approach of stabilization on nasal CPAP in the
DR and administering surfactant in the NICU.
Infants in both groups will be resuscitated per NRP algorithm. Infants who maintain a stable
HR and respiratory effort on CPAP will qualify for the intervention. Infants in Group 1
(Intervention arm) will receive LISA in DR. CPAP will be titrated between 5-8 cm H20 after
LISA. Infants in Group 2 (Control arm) will be transferred to NICU on CPAP. The CPAP level
will be increased stepwise every 30 minutes to 7 cm H2O if FiO2 ≥0.3. Infants requiring CPAP
7 at FiO2 ≥0.3 will receive LISA. CPAP will be titrated between 5-8 cm H20 after LISA.
Infants in both arms requiring CPAP 7 and FiO2 >0.8 at 20 MOL in the delivery room will be
intubated in DR. Any infant with a heart rate not responding with appropriate PPV will be
intubated in the DR. CXR will be obtain on admission and umbilical lines will be placed.
Infants in both arm who require FiO2 ≥0.6 for ≥1 hour, apnea requiring stimulation 3 times
within one hour or ≥6 over 6 hour period, any apnea requiring PPV, or CO2 >0.65 in two
consecutive blood gases drawn over two hours will be considered as reasons for intubation
after LISA.
Primary outcome is the need for MV within 72 hours of life, secondary outcome includes need
for MV during first week of life and during hospital stay, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD),
intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), spontaneous intestinal
perforation (SIP), need for treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), composite death or
BPD and mortality. This is a feasibility trial with the intention to enroll 30 infants in
each arm of the study over three years.
• Infants born 23 -25 weeks GA
• Resuscitated without requiring intubation and maintaining HR >100, oxygen saturation
per NRP goal saturation limits and regular respiratory effort on CPAP
Abatacept in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Myocarditis (ATRIUM)
The primary aim is to test whether abatacept, as compared to placebo, is associated with a
reduction in major adverse cardiac events (MACE) among participants hospitalized with
myocarditis secondary to an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). The primary outcome, MACE, is
a composite of first occurrence of cardiovascular death, non-fatal sudden cardiac arrest,
cardiogenic shock, significant ventricular arrythmias, significant bradyarrythmias, or
incident heart failure.
• Must have provided informed consent in a manner approved by the Investigator's
Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to any study-related procedure being performed.
If a participant is unable to provide informed consent due to his/her medical
condition, the participant's legally authorized representative may consent on behalf
of the study participant, as permitted by local law and institutional Standard
Operating Procedures;

therapy or targeted therapy). The FDA-approved ICI could be given as part of a
clinical trial but not in combination with a new investigational agent which may cause
myocarditis;
• A diagnosis of myocarditis.
• Hospitalized at the time of randomization;
• On 1000 mg of solumedrol per day for myocarditis or with an intent to initiate 1000 mg

• Serum evidence of ongoing myocardial injury: Serum evidence of ongoing myocardial
injury will be defined as an institutional troponin (either conventional or
high-sensitivity troponin I or T, using the standard institutional assay) with a value
that is ≥5 times the upper limit of the reference standard normal for that
institution. The troponin assay may be adjusted based on sex depending on
institutional standards. This value of troponin of ≥5 times above the institutional
upper limits of normal value must be noted within 10 days prior to potential
randomization. The 10-day period can be in the outpatient or inpatient setting. For
example, a participant with a troponin value that on one occasion was ≥5 times the
upper limits of institutional normal in the 10-day window prior to potential
randomization (whether in the inpatient or outpatient setting), but later decreases
below that threshold, typically due to starting corticosteroids, would still be
considered eligible;
• The following laboratory parameters, not older than 48 hours at the time of
randomization, and measured as part of usual care:
• Total white blood cell (WBC) count >2,500/μl
