Ruxolitinib and Chemotherapy in Adolescents and Young Adults With Ph-like Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
This study will test if adding ruxolitinib to standard multi-drug chemotherapy regimen will be safe and tolerated in adolescents and young adults with newly diagnosed Ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
* Newly diagnosed de novo B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as determined by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Patients must have unequivocal diagnosis of precursor B ALL. This includes an institutional immunophenotyping report that is to assign B-lineage or T-lineage.
* "Ph-like" signature, as determined by low density micro-array (LDA) card
* Jak-targetable genetic signature as defined by any of the following:
* Cytokine receptor-like factor 2 (CRLF2) rearranged (JAK2 mutant or wild-type)
* JAK2 or erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) fusions.
* Other JAK pathway alterations at the discretion of the principle investigator including, but not limited to:
* SH2B adaptor protein 3 (SH2B3) deletions
* Interleukin-7 receptor subunit alpha (IL7RA) mutations
* Prior therapy
* Prior to starting ruxolitinib, patients must have completed a 4-drug induction regimen with intrathecal chemotherapy (modified aBFM regimen or equivalent) as per the institutional standard of care. Recommended induction treatment is outlined in Section 5.1.2.
* No additional prior therapy for acute leukemia except emergency therapy (corticosteroids or hydroxyurea) for blast cell crisis, superior vena cava syndrome, or renal failure due to leukemic infiltration of the kidneys. When indicated, leukapheresis or exchange transfusion is recommended to reduce the white blood cell count (WBC).
* Screening may occur at any point prior to or during induction therapy
* Age ≥ 18 years and \< 40 years. Because this is specifically a study of the adolescent and young adult population and no adverse event data are currently available on the use of this pediatric-based chemotherapy regimen in patients ≥ 40 years of age, older adults are excluded from this study, but may be eligible for future trials.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60%)
* Platelet count \> 25,000/uL.
* Patients must have normal organ function as defined below:
* total bilirubin ≤ 2 mg/dL
* aspartate aminotransferase (AST) / alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × institutional upper limit of normal
* creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal.
* Because the therapeutic agents used in this study are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential 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. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation.
* Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients who are receiving any other investigational agent.
* Patients with a "currently active" second malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancers. Patients are not considered to have a "currently active" malignancy if they have completed therapy and are free of disease for ≥ 3 years.
* History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to ruxolitinib or other agents used in study.
* Use of any potent cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitor or inducer within 5 half-lives before the first dose of the study drug. Potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 include systemic ketoconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin, itraconazole, nefazodone, and telithromycin. At the fluconazole dose of 200mg daily used this regimen, there is minimal inhibition of CYP3A4 \[36\] and therefore fluconazole is not prohibited on this trial and no dose modifications should be made in the presence of fluconazole.
Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated list such as http://medicine.iupui.edu/clinpharm/ddis/table.aspx; medical reference texts such as the Physicians' Desk Reference may also provide this information. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product.
* Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
* Pregnant women are excluded from this study because ruxolitinib is a class C agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with ruxolitinib breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with ruxolitinib. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study.
* Down Syndrome due to the likelihood of excessive toxicity resulting. These patients should be treated in consultation with a pediatric oncologist.
* Burkitt type leukemia
* Ph+ ALL at time of diagnosis
A Study of Mevrometostat for Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory SCLC, Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer, and Follicular Lymphoma
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called Mevrometostat) for the possible treatment of Relapsed/ Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) and Follicular Lymphoma (FL).

Part 3, which is open for enrollment is seeking men who:
* have Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) and
* have previously received treatment for CRPC and have progressed from the last treatment
All participants in Part 3 of this study will receive mevrometostat and/ or enzalutamide. Part 3 consists of 2 sub studies each has an assessment phase and a maintenance phase. The Part 3 DDI substudy consist of 2 cohorts, Cohort 1 (monotherapy cohort) and Cohort 2 (Combination cohort).
In the assessment phase:
* participants in the BE substudy will take 3 single doses of mevrometostat by mouth over 3 periods.
* participants in the DDI substudy Cohort 1 (monotherapy cohort) will take mevrometostat 2 times a day and/or itraconazole 1 time a day based on a present schedule.
* participants in the DDI substudy Cohort 2 (combination cohort) will take mevrometostat 2 times a day, enzalutamide 1 time a day, and/or itraconazole 1 time a day based on a present schedule.
After completion of the assessment phase, participants will enter the maintenance phase where they will receive mevrometostat 2 times a day and enzalutamide 1 time a day by mouth until their cancer is no longer responding.
The study will look at the experiences of participanrs receiving the study medicine. This will help see if the study medicine is safe and effective.

S1501 Dual Observational and Randomized Cohort Study of Patients With Metastatic HER-2+ Breast Cancer at Risk of Cardiac Toxicity
This trial has two cohorts of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. All patients must be receiving trastuzumab-based treatment. Both cohorts are being observed for cardiac toxicity. The largest cohort (currently open to accrual) is observational, and contains patients who are taking a beta blocker, ACE inhibitor, or ARB as well as their trastuzumab-based treatment. The goal is to understand how common cardiac problems are in this group of patients at high risk. The smaller cohort (currently closed to accrual) is randomized. Patients in this second cohort are randomized to either carvedilol or no treatment, with the goal of seeing whether carvedilol (used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure) may prevent the heart from side effects of chemotherapy.

Testing the Addition of 131I-MIBG or Lorlatinib to Intensive Therapy in People With High-Risk Neuroblastoma (NBL)
This phase III trial studies iobenguane I-131 or lorlatinib and standard therapy in treating younger patients with newly-diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma. Radioactive drugs, such as iobenguane I-131, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. Lorlatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving iobenguane I-131 or lorlatinib and standard therapy may work better compared to lorlatinib and standard therapy alone in treating younger patients with neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma.

Active Surveillance, Bleomycin, Etoposide, Carboplatin or Cisplatin in Treating Pediatric and Adult Patients With Germ Cell Tumors
This phase III trial studies how well active surveillance help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors for recurrence after their tumor is removed. When the germ cell tumor has spread outside of the organ in which it developed, it is considered metastatic. Chemotherapy drugs, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, 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. The trial studies whether carboplatin or cisplatin is the preferred chemotherapy to use in treating metastatic standard risk germ cell tumors.
* There is no age limit for the low risk stratum (stage I ovarian immature teratoma and stage I non-seminoma or seminoma malignant GCT \[all sites\])
* Standard risk 1: Patients must be \< 11 years of age at enrollment

The pathology report of initial surgery should be provided
* Patients may be enrolled without histologic or cytologic confirmation in the rare case where there are exceptionally raised tumor markers (alpha fetoprotein \[AFP- ≥ 500 ng/mL or HCG ≥ 500 IU/L) and radiologic features consistent with GCT. In addition, the treating clinician must deem that the patient's tumor is not suitable for upfront resection and that a biopsy is not in the patient's best interest; or that there is a need to start therapy urgently

The purpose of this research study is to develop a method of using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate lung tumors and other thoracic malignancies. An MRI is a scanning device that uses magnets to make images (pictures) of the body. This study is being done to determine what series of reactions (metabolic pathways) pulmonary nodules use as they burn sugar as fuel for growth. The manner in which the tumor burns (metabolizes) sugar for fuel is being investigated by using a natural, slightly modified, sugar solution (13C-glucose) and studying a small sample of the tumor once it is removed at the time of surgery.
• Patients must have known or probable malignant lesions requiring surgical biopsy or excision.

Natural History Study of and Genetic Modifiers in Spinocerebellar Ataxias
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are genetic neurological diseases that cause imbalance, poor coordination, and speech difficulties. There are different kinds of SCAs and this study will focus on types 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 27B, and RFC1-ataxia (SCA 1, SCA 2, SCA 3, also known as Machado-Joseph disease, SCA 6, SCA 7, SCA 8, SCA 10, SCA27B, and RFC1-ataxia, also known as CANVAS). The diseases are rare, slowly progressive, cause increasingly severe neurological difficulties, and are variable across and within genotypes. The purpose of this research study is to bring together a group of experts in the field of SCA for the purpose of learning more about the disease.
The research questions are:
1. How do these diseases progress over time?
2. What are the best ways to measure the progression?
3. Do some genes, other than the gene that is abnormal in these diseases, have any effect on the way the disease behaves?
This is a nationwide study and the investigators expect that 1400 patients will participate all over North America. The participants will remain in the study for an indeterminate period of time, for as long as they are willing to participate. Study visits will be done every 12 months.
Within the broader CRC-SCA, there is an Imaging Sub-study aiming to identify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers sensitive to the onset and progression of common SCAs. To accomplish this, participants attend annual visits involving a neurological exam, surveys, a blood draw, and an MRI scan. Participants can attend visits at one of three US locations - Minneapolis, MN; Gainesville, FL; or Dallas, TX and two European locations - Paris, France and Bonn, Germany. Eligible participants must either have SCA1, 2, or 3 or have been a participant of the previous READISCA study (NCT03487367). Gene-positive participants must have a SARA score less than 10; however, there is no SARA limit for participants previously enrolled in READISCA. All participants must be 18 years or older. Gene-negative participants should be 25-65 years old.
* Affected individuals aged 6 or above with symptoms and/or signs of ataxia with genetic confirmation of SCA 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 27B, or RFC1-ataxia either in themselves or first degree family member.
* Any individual aged 18 or above with a definite molecular diagnosis of SCA 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 27B, or RFC1-ataxia.
* Former participants of the READISCA (NCT03487367) study.
* Willingness to participate in the study and ability to give informed consent
* For MRI Sub-Study only: Previous READISCA enrollees; individuals aged 18 or above with a genetic confirmation of SCA1, 2, or 3 and a SARA score \<10 at MRI pre-screening; Healthy control participants without neurological condition.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Exclusion of SCA 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 27B, or RFC1-ataxia by previous DNA testing.
* A lack of willingness to participate in the study
* For MRI Sub-study only: Inability to undergo MRI scanning, pregnancy, and other neurological diseases than those of interest.

PROCEDURE: Assessment of Therapy Complications, OTHER: Questionnaire Administration
The NICHD Neonatal Research Network's Follow-Up study is a multi-center cohort in which surviving extremely low birth-weight infants born in participating network centers receive neurodevelopmental, neurosensory and functional assessments at 22-26 months corrected age (Infants born prior to July 1, 2012 were seen at 18-22 months corrected age). Data regarding pregnancy and neonatal outcome are collected prospectively. The goal is to identify potential maternal and neonatal risk factors that may affect infant neurodevelopment.
* Infants inborn at NRN centers
* \<27 weeks gestational age
* Infants enrolled in one or more additional NICHD NRN Follow-up studies. For infants that do not meet the inclusion criteria above, inclusion and exclusion criteria are determined by the criteria for the additional trial(s). In these cases, infants that are larger than 1,000 grams and/or older than 27 weeks may be included in the FU Study.
Note: These inclusion criteria were changed as of 1/1/2008. Prior to this date, infants with birth weights between 401 and 1500 grams who were admitted to NRN NICUs within 14 days of birth were included in the database.

The US food and Drug Administration (FDA) originally approved INTACS prescription inserts in
April 1999 for the correction of low levels of nearsightedness (-1.00 to -3.00 diopters).
Additional clinical data have shown that INTACS are safe for the treatment of keratoconus,
in July 2004, FDA approved INTACS inserts for the treatment of keratoconus as a Humanitarian
Use Device (FDA approval letter attached). The statute and the implementing regulation of
FDA (21 CFR 814.124 (aj) require IRB review and approval before a HUD is used.INTACS
prescription inserts are composed of two clear segments, each having an arc length of 150°,
they are manufactured form a biomedical material called polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and
are available in three thicknesses. Two INTACS inserts ranging from 0.250mm to 0.350mm may
be implanted depending on the orientation of the cone and the amount of myopia and
astigmatism to be reduced.

RATIONALE
The accrual of data from the laboratory and from epidemiologic and prevention trials has
improved the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus
(T1DM). Genetic and immunologic factors play a key role in the development of T1DM, and
characterization of the early metabolic abnormalities in T1DM is steadily increasing.
However, information regarding the natural history of T1DM remains incomplete. The TrialNet
Natural History Study of the Development of T1DM (Pathway to Prevention Study) has been
designed to clarify this picture, and in so doing, will contribute to the development and
implementation of studies aimed at prevention of and early treatment in T1DM.
Purpose:
TrialNet is an international network dedicated to the study, prevention, and early treatment
of type 1 diabetes. TrialNet sites are located throughout the United States, Canada,
Finland, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand. TrialNet is
dedicated to testing new approaches to the prevention of and early intervention for type 1
diabetes.
The goal of the TrialNet Natural History Study of the Development of Type 1 Diabetes is to
enhance our understanding of the demographic, immunologic, and metabolic characteristics of
individuals at risk for developing type 1 diabetes.
The Natural History Study will screen relatives of people with type 1 diabetes to identify
those at risk for developing the disease. Relatives of people with type 1 diabetes have
about a 5% percent chance of being positive for the antibodies associated with diabetes.
TrialNet will identify adults and children at risk for developing diabetes by testing for
the presence of these antibodies in the blood. A positive antibody test is an early
indication that damage to insulin-secreting cells may have begun. If this test is positive,
additional testing will be offered to determine the likelihood that a person may develop
diabetes. Individuals with antibodies will be offered the opportunity for further testing to
determine their risk of developing diabetes over the next 5 years and to receive close
monitoring for the development of diabetes.
• Individuals 1 to 45 years old who have an immediate family member with type 1
diabetes (such as a child, parent, or sibling)
• Individuals 1-20 years old who have an extended family member with type 1 diabetes
(such as a cousin, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, grandparent, or half-sibling)
Exclusion Criteria:
To be eligible a person must not:
• Have diabetes already
• Have a previous history of being treated with insulin or oral diabetes medications.
• Currently be using systemic immunosuppressive agents (topical and inhaled agents are
acceptable)
• Have any known serious diseases

A Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Pediatric Participants With an Advanced Solid Tumor or Lymphoma (MK-3475-051/KEYNOTE-051)
This is a two-part study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in pediatric participants who have any of
the following types of cancer:
- advanced melanoma (6 months to <18 years of age),
- advanced, relapsed or refractory programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive malignant
solid tumor or other lymphoma (6 months to <18 years of age),
- relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (rrcHL) (3 years to <18 years of age),
or
- advanced relapsed or refractory microsatellite-instability-high (MSI-H) solid tumors (6
months to <18 years of age).
Part 1 will find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD), confirm
the dose, and find the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for pembrolizumab therapy. Part 2 will
further evaluate the safety and efficacy at the pediatric RP2D.

to children with either advanced melanoma; a PD-L1 positive advanced, relapsed or refractory
solid tumor or other lymphoma; advanced, relapsed or refractory MSI-H solid tumor; or rrcHL,
will result in an Objective Response Rate (ORR) greater than 10% for at least one of these
types of cancer.

Safety Study of Cord Blood Units for Stem Cell Transplants
Background:
- Cord blood is blood that is taken from the umbilical cord and placenta of healthy newborns
after childbirth. The cord blood collected from a baby is called a cord blood unit. Cord
blood units are stored frozen in public cord blood banks. About 10,000 cord blood
transplants have been performed in children and adults for blood cancers and other diseases
in the world. These transplants have helped save lives and improve treatments. However, not
all available units of cord blood have been collected, stored, and licensed according to
specific government requirements. These unlicensed units can still be used in transplant,
but they can only be given as part of specific research studies. This study will evaluate
the safety of giving these unlicensed units by recording any problems that may occur during
and after giving the cord blood.
Objectives:
- To test the safety and effectiveness of unlicensed cord blood units in people who need
stem cell transplants.
Eligibility:
- Individuals who are scheduled to have a stem cell transplant.
Design:
- Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam.
- Participants will receive the cord blood unit as part of their stem cell transplant
procedure. The transplant will be performed according to the current standard of care
for the procedure.
- After the transplant, participants will be monitored for up to 1 year. Any problems or
side effects from the transplant will be treated as necessary. All outcomes will be
reported to the National Cord Blood Program and to the Center for International Blood
and Marrow Transplant.
• INCLUSION CRITERIA:
• Patients of any age or either gender with indications for receipt of investigational
HPC-CORD BLOOD who are participating in an NIH-IRB approved clinical trial for
unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
• Signed informed consent (and assent when applicable).
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
