Thoracotomy Versus Thoracoscopic Management of Pulmonary Metastases in Patients With Osteosarcoma
This phase III trial compares the effect of open thoracic surgery (thoracotomy) to thoracoscopic surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or VATS) in treating patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung (pulmonary metastases). Open thoracic surgery is a type of surgery done through a single larger incision (like a large cut) that goes between the ribs, opens up the chest, and removes the cancer. Thoracoscopy is a type of chest surgery where the doctor makes several small incisions and uses a small camera to help with removing the cancer. This trial is being done evaluate the two different surgery methods for patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung to find out which is better.
* Patients must be \< 50 years at the time of enrollment.
* Patients must have =\< 4 nodules per lung consistent with or suspicious for metastases, with at least one of which being \>= 3 mm and all of which must be =\< 3 cm size.
* Note: Patient must have eligibility confirmed by rapid central imaging review.
* Lung nodules must be considered resectable by either open thoracotomy or thoracoscopic surgery. Determination of resectability is made by the institutional surgeon.
* Patients must have a histological diagnosis of osteosarcoma.
* Patients must have evidence of metastatic lung disease at the time of initial diagnosis, or at time of 1st recurrence following completion of therapy for initially localized disease.
* Patients with newly diagnosed disease must have completed successful gross tumor resection for their primary tumor or surgical local control of primary tumor must be planned to be performed simultaneously with thoracic surgery.
* Newly diagnosed patients must be receiving or recently completed (within 60 days) systemic therapy considered by the treating physician to be standard treatment for newly diagnosed osteosarcoma (eg, cisplatin-doxorubicin or ifosfamide-based drug regimens) at the time of enrollment on this study. Dose and drug modifications for toxicity do not exclude patients from participation.
* Patients at time of 1st recurrence must have completed systemic therapy for their initial primary tumor, considered by the treating physician to be standard treatment for newly diagnosed osteosarcoma (eg, cisplatin-doxorubicin or ifosfamide-based drug regimens) at the time of enrollment on this study. Dose and drug modifications for toxicity do not exclude patients from participation.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with unresectable primary tumor.
* Patients with pulmonary metastatic lesions that would require anatomic resection (lobectomy or pneumonectomy) or lesions that are defined as "central" (i.e., central lesion involves or is proximal to segmental bronchi and peripheral is lesion distal to segmental bronchi).
* Patients with chest wall or mediastinal based metastatic lesions, or with significant pleural effusion.
* Patients with disease progression at either the primary or pulmonary metastatic site while on initial therapy. Note: Once the patient has been enrolled on the study, additional computed tomography (CT) scans are not anticipated prior to thoracic surgery. Note: Some variation in nodule size measurements over the course of pre-operative therapy is anticipated and does not qualify for exclusion unless deemed true disease progression by the primary treatment team.
* Patients with evidence of extrapulmonary metastatic disease.
* Patients who received therapeutic pulmonary surgery for lung metastasis prior to enrollment.
* All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent.
* All institutional, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) requirements for human studies must be met.

Evaluating the Addition of the Immunotherapy Drug Atezolizumab to Standard Chemotherapy Treatment for Advanced or Metastatic Neuroendocrine Carcinomas That Originate Outside the Lung
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of immunotherapy with atezolizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus standard therapy alone for the treatment of poorly differentiated extrapulmonary (originated outside the lung) neuroendocrine cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). The other aim of this trial is to compare using atezolizumab just at the beginning of treatment versus continuing it beyond the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cisplatin and carboplatin are in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds that work by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair, and it may kill cancer cells. Giving atezolizumab in combination with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide may work better in treating patients with poorly differentiated extrapulmonary neuroendocrine cancer compared to standard therapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide alone.
* Participants must have histologically-confirmed (local site pathological confirmation sufficient) extrapulmonary poorly differentiated, neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC)

All known sites of disease must be assessed and documented on the Baseline Tumor Assessment Form
* Participants must have brain MRI (or CT head with contrast if there is contraindication to MRI brain) if clinically indicated within 28 days prior to registration.

Testing the Addition of a Type of Drug Called Immunotherapy to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, an ALCHEMIST Treatment Trial (Chemo-IO [ACCIO])
This phase III ALCHEMIST treatment trial tests the addition of pembrolizumab to usual chemotherapy for the treatment of stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, 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 cisplatin, pemetrexed, carboplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, 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 pembrolizumab with usual chemotherapy may help increase survival times in patients with stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.

Osimertinib With or Without Bevacizumab as Initial Treatment for Patients With EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancer
This phase III trial compares the effect of bevacizumab and osimertinib combination vs. osimertinib alone for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of the lungs (stage IIIB-IV) and has a change (mutation) in a gene called EGFR. The EGFR protein is involved in cell signaling pathways that control cell division and survival. Sometimes, mutations in the EGFR gene cause EGFR proteins to be made in higher than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This causes cancer cells to divide more rapidly. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking EGFR that is needed for cell growth in this type of cancer. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving osimertinib with bevacizumab may control cancer for longer and help patients live longer as compared to osimertinib alone.
* Patient must have a pathologically-confirmed diagnosis of non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
* Patient must have advanced disease, defined as - either stage IV disease, stage IIIB disease not amenable to definitive multi-modality therapy, or recurrent disease after a prior diagnosis of stage I-III disease.

Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Autoimmune Disorders and Advanced, Metastatic, or Unresectable Cancer
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. 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.
* 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. 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 is Food and Drug Administration (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 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

* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 5 x institutional ULN or =\< 8 x institutional ULN for patients with liver metastases or an autoimmune disease that is contributing to the elevation of these values
* 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) 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

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) Dose-Escalation Study for Brain Metastasis (SRS)
SRS dose escalation for brain metastases in radiation-naïve patients will establish true tolerable doses, which may exceed the current standard doses. This may lead to an improvement in local control, patient survival, and/or quality-of life.
Inclusion Criteria
• Biopsy-proven non-hematopoietic malignancy, except for small cell lung cancer, germ cell cancer, or unknown primary tumor.
• Radiographic evidence by MRI (or by CT scan with CT contrast if ineligible or intolerant of MRI) of brain metastasis. (If patient is unable to tolerate MRI contrast, an MRI without contrast is acceptable if lesions are visible)
• All brain metastases must be outside the brain stem (midbrain, pons and medulla).
• Patient must have 10 or less brain metastases.
• The maximum diameter of any lesion must be less than or equal to 3.0 cm.
• Previous treatment with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or any targeted agents are allowed provided that:
* Radiation was not to the brain.
* Surgery to the brain was \> 7 days prior to SRS and there remains at least one additional brain metastasis that can be targeted with SRS
• Age ≥ 18 years.
• ECOG Performance Score of 2 or better/Karnofsky Performance Status score of 50-60 or better.
• All men, as well as women of child-bearing potential 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 participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, marital status, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria:
* Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
* Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months).
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
• Patients had craniotomy and surgery to the brain within 7 days from the date of SRS.
• Patients with leptomeningeal metastasis.
NOTE: For the purposes of exclusion, LMD is a clinical diagnosis, defined as positive CSF cytology and/or equivocal radiologic or clinical evidence of leptomeningeal involvement. Patients with leptomeningeal symptoms in the setting of leptomeningeal enhancement by imaging (MRI) would be considered to have LMD even in the absence of positive CSF cytology, unless a parenchymal lesion can adequately explain the neurologic symptoms and/or signs. In contrast, an asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patient with mild or nonspecific leptomeningeal enhancement (MRI) would not be considered to have LMD. In that patient, CSF sampling is not required to formally exclude LMD, but can be performed at the investigator's discretion based on level of clinical suspicion.
• Patients with a contraindication to both MRI (with or without contrast) and CT scan (with contrast)
• Patients with life expectancy \< 3 months.
• 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, in the opinion of the investigator, would limit compliance with study requirements.
• Subjects must not be pregnant or nursing at the time of SRS treatment due to the potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm nursing infants.

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.

• Subjects of all races and ethnic origins over 18 years of age.
Exclusion Criteria:
• Not a surgical candidate.

PROSpect: Prone and Oscillation Pediatric Clinical Trial
Severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is a life-threatening and
frequent problem experienced by thousands of children each year. Little evidence supports
current supportive practices during their critical illness. The overall objective of this
study is to identify the best positional and/or ventilation practice that leads to improved
patient outcomes in these critically ill children. We hypothesize that children with severe
PARDS treated with either prone positioning or high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV)
will demonstrate more days off the ventilator when compared to children treated with supine
positioning or conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV).
Inclusion criteria:

guidelines (chest imaging consistent with acute pulmonary parenchymal disease and OI ≥12 or
OSI ≥10). We require two blood gases meeting moderate-severe PARDS criteria (separated by
at least 4 ± 2 hours during which time the clinical team is actively working to recruit
lung volume and optimize the patient's hemodynamic status per PALICC guidelines;
specifically, incremental and decremental PEEP changes to optimize lung volume). A second
blood gas is not required for OI ≥16.

Phase II Randomized Trial of Carboplatin+Pemetrexed+Bevacizumab+/- Atezolizumab in Stage IV NSCLC
While cigarette smoking remains the primary cause of most lung cancer cases, lung carcinoma
in never smokers account for nearly 20 percent of cases. Never smokers with lung cancer
typically present with different molecular profiles from that of smokers, which results in
prognostic and therapeutic implications. Molecular changes in NSCLC that have therapeutic
significance include mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and
rearrangements in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene. These driver mutations typically
are present in lung tumors found in never or light smokers.
The addition of bevacizumab to carboplatin and paclitaxel in first-line treatment of
non-squamous NSCLC showed improved survival compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel alone,
12.3 vs. 10.3 months respectively. Results from the POINTBREAK trial demonstrated that
carboplatin + pemetrexed + bevacizumab is an alternative option to carboplatin + paclitaxel +
bevacizumab, with comparable survival but less toxicity. In recent years, immunotherapy has
emerged as a form of treatment that can lead to robust responses in a subset of patients. The
PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab and the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab have shown prolonged survival
in comparison to docetaxel in patients who previously progressed with chemotherapy,
irrespective of PD-L1 expression. Thus, this study combines immunotherapeutic agent
atezolozumab with an ant-angiogenic agent, bevacizumab, and double platinum therapy
(carboplatin and pemetrexed).
• Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV non-squamous
non-small cell lung cancer
• Patients must either have tumors that harbor an EGFR mutation in exon 19 or exon 21,
or must be never smoker wild-types. Never smoker wild-types are defined as patients
with tumors without an ALK or ROS1 rearrangement, and are not harboring any EGFR
mutation (this includes exons 19 or 21, exon 20, and any other rare EGFR mutations).
Never smoker wild-type patients must have smoked less than 100 cigarettes in a
lifetime. Patients with an EGFR mutation in exon 19 or 21 may be included irrespective
of their smoking history. If tissue-based testing for EGFR mutation status is not
available, blood-based EGFR testing that confirms presence of a mutation in exon 19 or
21 is acceptable, and these patients may be included in the study
• Patients must have measurable disease by CT or MRI, defined as at least one lesion
that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension in accordance with RECIST
criteria v 1.1
• Patients with tumors that harbor an EGFR exon 19 or exon 21 mutation must have
received prior treatments with one or more TKIs. A washout period of at least 2 weeks
is required to begin treatment in this trial. Patients who are never smoker wild-types
must be treatment naïve
• All patients must be chemotherapy, VEGF therapy, and immunotherapy naive, with the
exception of prior oral TKIs which are required for EGFR mutated patients. The number
of prior oral TKIs and duration of use is neither specified nor limited.

• No stereotactic radiation within 7 days or whole-brain radiation within 14 days
prior to randomization
• No evidence of interim progression between the completion of CNS-directed therapy
and the screening radiographic study

radiation therapy and/or surgery for CNS metastases. Following treatment, these patients
may then be eligible without the need for an additional brain scan prior to randomization,
if all other criteria are met
• Age > 18 years
• ECOG performance status 0 or 1
• Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below. The use of G-CSF

bilirubin ≤1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) AST/ALT (SGOT/SGPT) < 3 times
institutional normal limits, or up to 5 times institutional normal limits if the patient
has liver metastases Creatinine OR Creatinine clearance ≤1.5 X ULN, OR > 40 Ml/min/1.73 m2
for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal as per Cockcroft-Gault
formula International Normalized Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤1.5 X ULN unless
subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range

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
