A Study to Compare Treatment With the Drug Selumetinib Alone Versus Selumetinib and Vinblastine in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Low-Grade Glioma
This phase III trial investigates the best dose of vinblastine in combination with
selumetinib and the benefit of adding vinblastine to selumetinib compared to selumetinib
alone in treating children and young adults with low-grade glioma (a common type of brain
cancer) that has come back after prior treatment (recurrent) or does not respond to therapy
(progressive). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking a protein that lets tumor cells
grow without stopping. Vinblastine blocks cell growth by stopping cell division and may kill
cancer cells. Giving selumetinib in combination with vinblastine may work better than
selumetinib alone in treating recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma.

Comparison of Chemotherapy Before and After Surgery Versus After Surgery Alone for the Treatment of Gallbladder Cancer
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy before and after surgery
versus after surgery alone (usual treatment) in treating patients with stage II-III
gallbladder cancer. 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. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the
tumor smaller; therefore, may reduce the extent of surgery. Additionally, it may make it
easier for the surgeon to distinguish between normal and cancerous tissue. Giving
chemotherapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. This study will determine
whether giving chemotherapy before surgery increases the length of time before the cancer may
return and whether it will increase a patient's life span compared to the usual approach.

Comparing the Outcome of Immunotherapy-Based Drug Combination Therapy With or Without Surgery to Remove the Kidney in Metastatic Kidney Cancer, the PROBE Trial (PROBE)
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding surgery to a standard of care
immunotherapy-based drug combination versus a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug
combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in
the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab,
ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer,
and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib may stop the
growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Surgery to
remove the kidney, called a nephrectomy, is also considered standard of care; however,
doctors who treat kidney cancer do not agree on its benefits. It is not yet known if the
addition of surgery to an immunotherapy-based drug combination works better than an
immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer.

T-DM1 and Tucatinib Compared With T-DM1 Alone in Preventing Relapses in People With High Risk HER2-Positive Breast Cancer, the CompassHER2 RD Trial
This phase III trial studies how well trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and tucatinib work in
preventing breast cancer from coming back (relapsing) in patients with high risk, HER2
positive breast cancer. T-DM1 is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a
chemotherapy drug, called DM1. Trastuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches
to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors,
and delivers DM1 to kill them. Tucatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some
of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving T-DM1 and tucatinib may work better in
preventing breast cancer from relapsing in patients with HER2 positive breast cancer compared
to T-DM1 alone.
• HER2-positive status will be based on pretreatment biopsy material and defined as an
immunohistochemistry (IHC) score of 3+ and/or positive by in situ hybridization (ISH)
according to current American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) College of American
Pathologists (CAP) guidelines. Central testing is not required
* Known hormone receptor (HR) status as defined by ASCO/CAP guidelines (based on
pretreatment biopsy material). Hormone receptor positive status can be determined by
either known positive estrogen receptor (ER) or known positive progesterone receptor
(PR) status; hormone receptor negative status must be determined by both known
negative ER and known negative PR
• Patients with clinical stage T1-4, N0-3 disease at presentation and residual invasive
disease postoperatively as defined above are eligible. (Note: Patients with T1a/bN0
tumors are not eligible at initial breast cancer diagnosis are not eligible)
• Patients with residual HR-negative, HER2 positive (+) disease in the breast and/or
lymph nodes per the surgical pathology report are eligible; however, patients with HR+
HER2+ cancers must have node-positive residual disease per the surgical pathology
report in order to qualify for the study. The presence of residual invasive disease in
the breast is not mandatory for these patients
• Patients with weakly ER-positive (1-10%) breast cancer (based on the pretreatment core
biopsy) are eligible even if they have node-negative disease per the surgical
pathology report
• The residual disease tissue (breast and/or lymph nodes) is not required to be
HER2-positive, as eligibility for NCI-2020-03770 (A011801) is based on a positive HER2
status at the time of the initial breast cancer diagnosis
* Note: The presence of micrometastases in lymph nodes after preoperative therapy
counts as residual disease, whereas the presence of isolated tumor cells does not
• Patients with synchronous bilateral invasive disease are eligible provided both
lesions were confirmed to be HER2-positive, and at least one of the lesions meets the
criteria outlined above. Multifocal disease is allowed, as long as the largest
biopsied breast tumor was HER2-positive
• Patients must have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with one of the following
regimens: docetaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab (THP), paclitaxel/methotrexate/cisplatin
(TMP), doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide/paclitaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab (AC-TH(P));
docetaxel/carboplatin/trastuzumab/pertuzumab (TCH(P));
fluorouracil/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide-docetaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab
(FAC-TH(P)), or
fluorouracil/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide-docetaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab (FEC-TH(P)).
Note: apart from TCHP, where T is docetaxel, treatment with docetaxel or paclitaxel is
acceptable
• Prior receipt of T-DM1 in the neoadjuvant setting is not allowed.
• Prior treatment must have consisted of >= 6 cycles of chemotherapy and
HER2-directed therapy, with a total duration of >= 12 weeks, including at least 9
weeks of preoperative taxane and trastuzumab with or without pertuzumab (or Food
and Drug Administration [FDA]-approved biosimilars). Patients who have received
at least 9 weeks of preoperative taxane, pertuzumab and margetuximab are also
eligible if they received >= 6 cycles of systemic therapy prior to enrollment.
Note: Patients who complete at least nine of a planned twelve doses of weekly
paclitaxel, or three of a planned four doses of docetaxel, but discontinue
prematurely due to toxicity are eligible. Patients receiving dose-dense
chemotherapy regimens are also eligible. Prior use of nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane)
instead of paclitaxel or docetaxel is permitted. Prior use of subcutaneous
trastuzumab (Hylecta) and subcutaneous trastuzumab and pertuzumab (Phesgo) is
also allowed.
• Patients who received neoadjuvant systemic therapy which included experimental
HER2-targeted therapy/therapies are potentially eligible, as long as the
investigational agent was not a HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (e.g.
T-DM1, DS-8201a [trastuzumab deruxtecan]) or a HER2 targeted tyrosine kinase
inhibitor (TKI) (e.g. tucatinib, lapatinib, neratinib).
• Patients may have received =< 1 cycles of T-DM1 in the adjuvant setting. Note: These
patients will be randomized to receive a further 14 cycles of T-DM1 and
tucatinib/placebo as tolerated. The most recent cycle of T-DM1 should have been
administered =< 5 weeks prior to registration
* Note: Both of the following two criteria need to be met for the patient to be
eligible for this study
• An interval of no more than 12 weeks between the completion date of the last
definitive treatment (e.g. postoperative chemotherapy or radiation, or if neither
given, breast surgical date) and the date of registration. Concurrent radiation
therapy is permitted while receiving study treatment
• Patients must be registered on study within =< 180 days of the date of the most
recent definitive breast cancer surgery (not including reconstructive surgery)
• All systemic chemotherapy should have been completed preoperatively unless
participating in EA1181 (CompassHER2 pathologic complete response [pCR]) or the BIG
DECRESCENDO Trial (which is very similar to CompassHER2 pCR in terms of study design,
drugs, and eligibility). However, patients who received 4 cycles of neoadjuvant THP
off study can receive a further 2-4 cycles of chemotherapy postoperatively to meet
eligibility for A011801. Patients who participated in EA1181 or MA41 and proceeded to
surgery immediately after the de-escalated trial regimen must receive postoperative
chemotherapy to complete a total of >= 6 cycles of systemic treatment prior to
enrollment on A011801, as outlined above (e.g. 4 cycles pre-operatively, and 2 cycles
post-operatively). The postoperative chemotherapy regimen prescribed is at the
discretion of the treating oncologist (i.e. 2-4 cycles AC or THP, other). Continuation
of trastuzumab + pertuzumab (HP) pre- or post-operatively as maintenance therapy
(while awaiting a surgical date or an official pathology report) is allowed for all
study participants
• Toxicities related to prior systemic treatment should have resolved or be at baseline,
apart from alopecia and peripheral neuropathy =< grade 1
• Adequate excision: surgical removal of all clinically evident disease in the breast
and lymph nodes as follows:
• Breast surgery: total mastectomy with no gross residual disease at the margin of
resection, or breast-conserving surgery with histologically negative margins of
excision
• For patients who undergo breast-conserving surgery, the margins of the resected
specimen must be histologically free of invasive tumor and ductal carcinoma in
situ (DCIS) as determined by the local pathologist. If pathologic examination
demonstrates tumor at the line of resection, additional operative procedures may
be performed to obtain clear margins. If tumor is still present at the resected
margin after re-excision(s), the patient must undergo total mastectomy to be
eligible. Patients with margins positive for classic lobular carcinoma in situ
(LCIS) are eligible without additional resection
• Lymph node surgery ** The axilla needs to be evaluated with either sentinel node
biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection. If patients have a sentinel lymph node
biopsy and sentinel nodes are negative, no further axillary treatment is
necessary. If patients have isolated tumor cells (ITCs) in the setting of
residual breast disease, at least one of the following is required: axillary
lymph node dissection (ALND) or planned nodal irradiation. If patients have
micro- or macro-metastatic nodal disease, ALND and planned nodal irradiation are
required. Of note, co-enrollment on Alliance A011202 is not allowed
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,000/mm^3
• Hemoglobin >= 8 g/dL (Note: packed red blood cells [PRBC] transfusion is not permitted

multiple-gated acquisition (MUGA) after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and no
decrease in LVEF by more than 15% absolute percentage points from the pre-chemotherapy
LVEF. Or, if pre-chemotherapy LVEF was not assessed, the screening LVEF must be >= 55%
after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Note: LVEF assessment may be repeated
once up to 3 weeks following the initial screening assessment to assess eligibility
Exclusion Criteria:
• No adjuvant treatment with any anti-cancer investigational drug within 28 days prior
to registration

EA2176: Phase 3 Clinical Trial of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel +/- Nivolumab in Metastatic Anal Cancer Patients
This phase 3 trial compares the addition of nivolumab to chemotherapy (carboplatin and
paclitaxel) versus usual treatment (chemotherapy alone) for the treatment of anal cancer that
has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). 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
carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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 together with carboplatin and paclitaxel may help doctors find out if the
treatment is better or the same as the usual approach.

Combination of Novel Therapies for CKD Comorbid Depression (CONCORD)
The overall goal of the study is to determine if treatment of a Major Depressive Disorder
(MDD) improves the outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We showed that MDD
is present in 25% of CKD patients and independently associated with progression to End-Stage
Kidney Disease, hospitalization, and death. Depression is also associated with lower quality
of life (QOL), fatigue, poor sleep, and non-adherence to diet and medications. However,
evidence for efficacy and tolerability of commonly-used antidepressant medications or
nonpharmacologic treatments are limited in CKD patients. Our group was the first to conduct a
double-blind randomized controlled trial for MDD treatment in 201 patients with non-dialysis
CKD, and showed that sertraline, a commonly used selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor
(SSRI), was no more efficacious than placebo for improving depressive symptoms. It becomes
imperative to test novel strategies to treat MDD in CKD. We propose to compare with a control
group, the efficacy and tolerability of two novel treatment strategies - (1) Behavioral
Activation Teletherapy (BAT) for 16 weeks, with the addition of bupropion, a non-SSRI
antidepressant, at 8 weeks for patients whose depression has not remitted (non-remitters);
and (2) bupropion for 16 weeks, with the addition of BAT at 8 weeks for non-remitters. In Aim
1, we will investigate the efficacy and tolerability of these 2 strategies vs. control for
improvement in a primary endpoint of depressive symptoms in 201 patients (67 per group) with
non-dialysis CKD stages 3b-5 and MDD at 2 sites, randomized 1:1:1 to either strategy or a
control group of Clinical Management plus placebo. We hypothesize that either approach vs.
control will result in a minimal clinically important difference of 2 points improvement in
depressive symptoms, as ascertained blindly by the Quick Inventory of Depressive
Symptomatology. In Aim 2 we will investigate the efficacy and tolerability of 8 weeks of (1)
single-blind BAT plus placebo or (2) double-blind bupropion plus Clinical Management vs.
control for improvement in depressive symptoms. In Aim 3, we will compare the efficacy of
these 2 treatments strategies vs. control for improvement in CKD patient-centered outcomes
including a. adherence to medications and healthcare visits; b. fatigue; c. sleep; and d.
overall functioning. A clinical trial is urgently needed to address the evidence gap that
exists for MDD treatment in CKD patients.

Treating Prostate Cancer That Has Come Back After Surgery With Apalutamide and Targeted Radiation Based on PET Imaging
This phase III trial tests two questions by two separate comparisons of therapies. The first
question is whether enhanced therapy (apalutamide in combination with abiraterone +
prednisone) added to standard of care (prostate radiation therapy and short term androgen
deprivation) is more effective compared to standard of care alone in patients with prostate
cancer who experience biochemical recurrence (a rise in the blood level of prostate specific
antigen [PSA] after surgical removal of the prostate cancer).
A second question tests treatment in patients with biochemical recurrence who show prostate
cancer spreading outside the pelvis (metastasis) by positron emission tomography (PET)
imaging. In these patients, the benefit of adding metastasis-directed radiation to enhanced
therapy (apalutamide in combination with abiraterone + prednisone) is tested.
Diagnostic procedures, such as PET, may help doctors look for cancer that has spread to the
pelvis. Androgens are hormones that may cause the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgens by the tumor
cells. Metastasis-directed targeted radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor
cells and shrink tumors that have spread. This trial may help doctors determine if using PET
results to deliver more tailored treatment (i.e., adding apalutamide, with or without
targeted radiation therapy, to standard of care treatment) works better than standard of care
treatment alone in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.

HYPORT: A Phase I/II Study of Hypofractionated Post-operative Radiation Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer
There is a strong radiobiological and economic rationale for hypofractionated radiation
therapy in head and neck cancer. Phase 1 of the trial aims to assess the acute toxicity and
tolerability of hypofractionated radiation therapy in the post-operative setting, and to
determine the dose/fractionation for Phase 2. Phase 2 aims to establish non-inferiority of
swallowing-related quality of life and to assess the toxicity and efficacy of
hypofractionated radiation therapy compared to conventionally fractionated radiation therapy
in the post-operative setting.
