Diuretic Tuner Clinical Decision Support
This purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a mobile phone application in
helping to control body swelling in patients with kidney problems. The application will help
in the day to day adjustments in diuretic medication dosing.
Participants in this study will have an application loaded on to their mobile phone by the
study team and be taught how to use it over a 2 hour visit. Participants will need to check
their blood pressure and weight daily and enter this information into the mobile phone
application every day. Participants will need to follow daily instructions in their
medication dosing provided by the application. There will be periodic blood testing. This
will happen at 2 weeks, 90 days, and up to 4 other times if necessary. At the end of the
study there is a 2 hour study visit during which participants will answer a survey. The total
length of the study is 90 days.

Testing the Addition of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) to Chemotherapy Before Surgery for Patients With High-Grade Upper Urinary Tract Cancer
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, 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 methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine 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. Durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared to chemotherapy alone.

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.

A Study of Combination Chemotherapy for Patients With Newly Diagnosed DAWT and Relapsed FHWT
This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors (DAWT) or favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) that have come back (relapsed). Drugs used in chemotherapy regimens such as UH-3 (vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, etoposide, and irinotecan) and ICE/Cyclo/Topo (ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and topotecan) 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. This trial may help doctors find out what effects, good and/or bad, regimen UH-3 has on patients with newly diagnosed DAWT and standard risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with only 2 drugs for the initial WT) and regimen ICE/Cyclo/Topo has on patients with high and very high risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with 3 or more drugs for the initial WT).
* Patients with newly diagnosed stages 2 - 4 diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor must be enrolled on APEC14B1, consented to Part A - Eligibility Screening, and have received an initial stratum assignment showing DAWT (if anaplasia first identified at diagnostic, pre-treatment nephrectomy or biopsy) or a final stratum assignment showing DAWT (if anaplasia first noted at delayed nephrectomy) prior to enrollment on AREN1921. Prior enrollment on APEC14B1 is not an eligibility requirement for patients with relapsed favorable histology Wilms tumor.
* Patients must be =\< 30 years old at study enrollment
* Patients with the following diagnoses are eligible for this study:
* Newly diagnosed stages 2 - 4 diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor as confirmed by central review

* Standard-Risk relapse: Patients who received two chemotherapy agents for frontline therapy; primarily actinomycin D and vincristine
* High-Risk relapse: Patients who received three chemotherapy agents for frontline therapy; primarily vincristine, actinomycin D and doxorubicin or vincristine, actinomycin D and irinotecan
* Very High-Risk relapse: Patients who received four or more chemotherapy agents as part of initial therapy; primarily regimen M or its variations
* Patients with newly diagnosed DAWT must have had histologic verification of the malignancy. For relapsed FHWT patients, biopsy to prove recurrence is encouraged, but not required

Testing the Effectiveness of Two Immunotherapy Drugs (Nivolumab and Ipilimumab) With One Anti-cancer Targeted Drug (Cabozantinib) for Rare Genitourinary Tumors
This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib works in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with rare genitourinary (GU) tumors that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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. Giving cabozantinib, nivolumab, and ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with genitourinary tumors that have no treatment options compared to giving cabozantinib, nivolumab, or ipilimumab alone.

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

* 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)

Minimal change disease (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and Membranous
nephropathy (MN), generate an enormous individual and societal financial burden, accounting
for approximately 12% of prevalent end stage renal disease (ESRD) cases (2005) at an annual
cost in the US of more than $3 billion. However, the clinical classification of these
diseases is widely believed to be inadequate by the scientific community. Given the poor
understanding of MCD/FSGS and MN biology, it is not surprising that the available therapies
are imperfect. The therapies lack a clear biological basis, and as many families have
experienced, they are often not beneficial, and in fact may be significantly toxic. Given
these observations, it is essential that research be conducted that address these serious
obstacles to effectively caring for patients.
In response to a request for applications by the National Institutes of Health, Office of
Rare Diseases (NIH, ORD) for the creation of Rare Disease Clinical Research Consortia, a
number of affiliated universities joined together with The NephCure Foundation the NIDDK,
the ORDR, and the University of Michigan in collaboration towards the establishment of a
Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) Rare Diseases Clinical Research Consortium.
Through this consortium the investigators hope to understand the fundamental biology of
these rare diseases and aim to bank long-term observational data and corresponding
biological specimens for researchers to access and further enrich.

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;
• Aged greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of informed consent;
• Recent use of an FDA-approved immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI, defined as
administered an immune checkpoint inhibitor ≤ 6 months of myocarditis diagnosis),
alone or in combination with other cancer therapies (i.e. chemotherapy, radiation
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
of solumedrol per day for myocarditis within 24 hours of first administration of study
drug;
• 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
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1,500/μL
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) <20 times the
upper limit of the institutional normal ranges;
• Women of childbearing potential (i.e., not postmenopausal, or surgically sterilized)
must have a negative highly sensitive urine or serum pregnancy test prior to
randomization. Participating women of childbearing potential must be willing to
consistently use effective methods of contraception from screening until at least 90
days after administration of the last dose of study drug. Participating men must also
be willing to consistently use effective methods of contraception from screening until
at least 90 days after administration of the last dose of study drug; and
• Must be willing and able to abide by all study requirements and restrictions.
Exclusion Criteria:
• Must not have experienced any of the following (as defined in the section on the
primary endpoint) in the 30-day period prior to randomization:
• A sudden cardiac arrest
• Cardiogenic shock as defined. A significant bradyarrhythmia (Mobitz type II
second degree atrioventricular block or third degree (complete) atrio-ventricular
(AV) block, for which an intervention with a temporary or permanent pacemaker is
completed or recommended).
• A significant tachyarrhythmia (ventricular fibrillation of any duration or
sustained ventricular tachycardia (>30 seconds, >120 beats per minute); or a
ventricular tachyarrhythmia requiring intervention.
• Recent (≤2 month) exposure to abatacept or belatacept.
• Concurrent or recent (≤2 month) use of the following non-corticosteroid
immunosuppressive therapies prior to randomization: mycophenolate, JAK STAT inhibitors
(including but not limited to upadacitinib, tofacitinib, baricitinib, and filgotinib),
tacrolimus, anti-thymocyte globulin, alemtuzumab, infliximab, and plasma exchange. The
use of intravenous immunoglobulin is permitted prior to randomization and during study
treatment.
• Currently enrolled in another interventional study utilizing systemic agents for the
management of ICI-related toxicities.
• Female who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or is considering becoming pregnant during the
study or for approximately 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
• Male who is considering fathering a child or donating sperm during the study or for
approximately 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
• Any active, chronic, or recurrent viral infection that, based on the investigator's
clinical assessment, makes the participant an unsuitable candidate for the study.
These may include hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV), recurrent or
disseminated (even a single episode) herpes zoster, and disseminated (even a single
episode) herpes simplex. Active HBV and HCV are defined as: HBV: hepatitis B surface
antigen (HBs Ag) positive (+) or detected sensitivity on the HBV deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) qualitative test for Hepatitis B core antibody
(HBc Ab) positive (+) participants; HCV: HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) detectable in any
participant with anti-HCV antibody (HCV Ab). Patients with active Covid-19 infection
will be excluded. This is defined as the period of ongoing symptoms in the setting of
a positive Covid-19 test, or until 10 days after symptom onset and after resolution of
fever for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications.
• Known active tuberculosis (TB), history of incompletely treated TB, suspected or known
extrapulmonary TB, suspected or known systemic bacterial or fungal infections;
• Receipt of any live vaccine within four weeks prior to the first dose of study drug,
or expected need of live vaccination during study participation including at least 90
days after the last dose of IV study drug.
• Any medical condition that could interfere with, or for which the treatment might
interfere with, the conduct of the study or interpretation of the study results, or
that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, increase the risk of the participant
by participating in the study.
• Any factors that, in the Investigator's opinion, are likely to interfere with study
procedures, such as history of noncompliance with scheduled appointments.
