Testing Olaparib for One or Two Years, With or Without Bevacizumab, to Treat Ovarian Cancer
This phase III trial compares the effect of olaparib for one year versus two years, with or without bevacizumab, for the treatment of BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Olaparib is a polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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 olaparib for one year with or without bevacizumab may be effective in treating patients with BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer, when compared to two years of olaparib.
The Modulatory Effect of Female Sex Hormones on Spinal Neuroplasticity (TMSpine)
The goal of this project is to test our central hypothesis that the spinal cord neuroplasticity in females will be modulated by the level of estradiol concentration. under aim 1 we will determine the influence of estradiol fluctuations on spinal circuit excitability post afferent (sensory) mediated subthreshold motor priming in young healthy females and males. We will use an established repetitive peripheral nerve electrical stimulation with a stimulation intensity below the motor threshold to prime the spinal motor circuits. under aim 2 we seek to characterize the input output property of spinal circuit excitability after descending drive (motor) mediated priming in young healthy male participants. in aim 3 we will examine the influence of estradiol fluctuations on descending drive mediated motor priming in young healthy females.

A Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Activity of Fruquintinib in Minority Populations With Advanced, Previously Treated Colorectal Cancer
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a known side effect of the treatment with fruquintinib. Current research does not provide a clear answer whether minority groups such as Black/African American and/or Hispanic/Latino with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have a bigger risk of higher blood pressure after treatment with fruquintinib. The main aim of this study is to learn how often adults of a minority group experience hypertension after they have been treated with fruquintinib for refractory mCRC. Other aims are to learn how safe fruquintinib is and how well it is tolerated by participants.
Participants will receive fruquintinib in 4-week treatment cycles until their condition worsens, they do no longer tolerate the treatment or stop the treatment for other reasons. After the last treatment, participants will be checked upon every 3 months until study completion.

This study is researching experimental (study) drugs called pozelimab and cemdisiran. The study is focused on participants who have Geographic Atrophy (GA) caused by Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Geographic atrophy is a medical term that refers to later-stage cases of AMD which is an eye condition affecting central vision (what one sees straight ahead).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the progression rate of Geographic Atrophy in eyes of patients treated with cemdisiran alone or in combination with pozelimab compared to those treated with placebo.
The study is looking at several other research questions, including:
* What side effects may happen from taking the study drug(s)
* How much study drug(s) are in the blood at different times
* Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug(s) (which could make the study drug(s) less effective or could lead to side effects)

Triptorelin for the Prevention of Ovarian Damage in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer
This phase III trial compares the effect of giving triptorelin vs no triptorelin in preventing ovarian damage in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer receiving chemotherapy with an alkylating agents. Alkylating agents are part of standard chemotherapy, but may cause damage to the ovaries. If the ovaries are not working well or completely shut down, then it will be difficult or impossible to get pregnant in the future. Triptorelin works by blocking certain hormones and causing the ovaries to slow down or pause normal activity. The triptorelin used in this study stays active in the body for 24 weeks or about 6 months after a dose is given. After triptorelin is cleared from the body, the ovaries resume normal activities. Adding triptorelin before the start of chemotherapy treatment may reduce the chances of damage to the ovaries.

A Novel Approach for Reducing Hyperoxaluria and Kidney Stone Risk.
This pilot study is proposing a novel approach to directly target intestinal oxalate absorption with the drug Tenapanor, which was recently FDA-approved for treating hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Tenapanor works by blocking paracellular phosphate absorption by the intestine, but the underlying mechanisms have not been clearly defined. Since phosphate and oxalate ions are absorbed through the same paracellular pathway, and are of similar size and charge, Tenapanor is hypothesized to also reduce dietary oxalate absorption and consequently lower urinary oxalate excretion.

Study of Navtemadlin add-on to Ruxolitinib in JAK Inhibitor-Naïve Patients With Myelofibrosis Who Have a Suboptimal Response to Ruxolitinib (POIESIS)
This clinical trial is evaluating whether addition of navtemadlin to ruxolitinib treatment will provide more clinical benefit than ruxolitinib alone for patients with Myelofibrosis who have a suboptimal response to ruxolitinib treatment alone.
Subjects will start by receiving ruxolitinib alone in the run-in period. Those who demostrate a suboptimal response from ruxolitinib alone will then be randomized 2:1 to receive navtemadlin or navtemadlin placebo as add-on treatment to their ongoing ruxolitinib. Randomized means that subjects will be assigned to a group by chance, like a flip of a coin. The study is blinded, meaning the subjects, doctors, central endpoint assessors and sponsor will not know which add on treatment (navtemadlin or navtemadlin placebo) the subject is receiving.
Inclusion Criteria for Ruxolitinib Alone Period:
* Confirmed diagnosis of PMF, post-PV MF, or post-ET MF, as assessed by the treating physician according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria
* High, Intermediate-1, Intermediate-2 risk category International Prognosis System Score (IPSS)
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2
* JAK-inhibitor treatment naive
Exclusion Criteria for Ruxolitinib Alone Period:
* Prior Splenectomy
* Splenic irradiation within 3 months prior to the first dose
* Prior BCL-XL, BET, MDM2, PI3K, PIM, or XPO1 inhibitors therapy or p53-directed therapy
* Eligible for Bone Marrow Transplant
* Peripheral blood or bone marrow blast count ≥ 10 percent
Inclusion Criteria for Randomized Period:
* PMF, post-PV MF, or post-ET MF that is TP53WT as assessed by central testing
* ECOG performance status of 0 to 2
* Treatment with a stable dose of ruxolitinib
* Suboptimal response to run-in ruxolitinib treatment
Exclusion Criteria for Randomized Period:
* Elevated white blood cell count that doubles (or more) during ruxolitinib treatment and exceeds 50 × 10\^9/L
* Peripheral blood or bone marrow blast count ≥ 10 percent
Trial of Transurethral Bulking Agent Injection Versus Single-Incision Sling for Stress Urinary Incontinence (BASIS)
This is a multicentered, double-blind, randomized controlled, surgical trial of 358 women with inadequate symptom relief of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or stress predominant mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) after conservative care.
The Primary Aim is to determine the comparative effectiveness (as defined by "much" or "very much" better on PGI-I) of transurethral bulking agent (TBA) \[for 1 or 2 injections in 12 months\] vs. single-incision sling (SIS) 12 months after treatment intervention in women with predominant stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
* Women ≥ 21 years
* Bothersome SUI (PFDI-20 Q:#17 of somewhat, moderately or quite a bit) or stress predominant MUI (PFDI-20 Q:#16 \< Q:#17)50 for \> 3 months with well-controlled UUI on stable medication treatment through baseline and follow-up.
* A positive cough stress test or urodynamic SUI within the past 18 months.
* Normal voiding function as demonstrated by PVR \< 150 mL
* Candidate for either study procedure as determined by treating surgeon (i.e., failed or unable to perform conservative management for SUI including pelvic floor strengthening and failed or declines pessary option for SUI)
* Available for up to 3 years.
* Agrees to randomization.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Anterior/apical vaginal prolapse beyond the hymen (\>0 on POPQ) - Advanced prolapse may require additional surgery or potentially increase the risk of postoperative urinary obstruction and confound the results of the study.
* Urge-predominant mixed UI by UDI-6 despite stable therapy - Urge predominant UI would not be expected to improve after TBA or SIS and may bias results of interventions designed specifically for stress urinary incontinence.
* Planned hysterectomy, urethral or anterior/apical surgeries - additional surgery beyond TBA or SIS has potential to confound the results. Additionally, these procedures generally require general anesthesia and indwelling catheterization immediately post operatively. The impact of urethral instrumentation after TBA is unknown and could impact the efficacy of the urethral coaptation.
* Malignancy or history of radiation of the pelvis - The risk of foreign material rejection and mesh complications may be higher in women with pelvic radiation and other treatment for pelvic malignancy may impact primary outcomes.
* Pregnant, breast feeding or plans for pregnancy within 1 year - subsequent vaginal delivery and hormonal changes of breast feeding prior to primary outcome could impact the efficacy of either treatment.
* Incomplete emptying (PVR \> 150mL) - SUI surgery may increase the risk of urinary retention.
* Prior anti-incontinence procedure - the aim of the study is to identify the role of TBA and SIS in primary, uncomplicated SUI or stress predominant MUI management.
* Neurogenic bladder - the aim of the study is to identify the role of TBA and SIS in primary, uncomplicated SUI or stress predominant MUI management.
* Prior adverse reaction to synthetic mesh or polyacrylamide - to minimize risk of post procedure complications.
* Chronic bladder or pelvic pain conditions (e.g., Interstitial cystitis, painful bladder syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, etc.) - given the known risks of postoperative pain with SIS and higher risks of pain in those with baseline chronic pain, we aim to minimize post operative complications.
* Active 3rd line treatment for OAB/UUI with botulinum toxin, sacral neuromodulation stimulation (SNS) or percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) within 12 months or plan for 3rd line or new OAB/UUI treatment within 1 year of SUI surgery. For those on stable medication OAB/UUI treatment, participants should be on stable treatment for 3 months with adequate symptom control prior to baseline measures and plan to remain on stable therapy without 3rd line treatment plans within 1 year of SUI surgery. Those who have received 3rd line treatment (Botox. PTNS or SNS) should have a washout of 1yr from and no plans for restarting within the primary outcome timeframe of 1 year post procedure. Those using SNS for bowel leakage only and no UUI symptoms do not require minimum 3 months. Participants with MUI on OAB/UUI medication therapy will still need to have SUI worse than UUI at baseline. Randomization will be stratified based on presence of UUI treatment component.
* Active treatment for SUI with a pessary. For those using a pessary or other SUI support device, a 3-week washout period should occur prior to assessing baseline measures.

A Study to Evaluate the Risk of Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS) in Adult Participants Receiving Oral Venetoclax in Combination With Intravenously Infused Obinutuzumab or Oral Acalabrutinib for Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia (cancer of blood cells). The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of venetoclax in combination with obinutuzumab or acalabrutinib in the treatment of CLL. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed.
Venetoclax in combination with obinutuzumab or acalabrutinib is being investigated in the treatment of CLL. Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 4 groups, called treatment arms. Participants will receive oral venetoclax in combination with intravenously (IV) infused obinutuzumab or oral acalabrutinib at in different dosing schemes as part of treatment. Approximately 120 adult participants with CLL who are being treated with venetoclax will be enrolled in the study in approximately 80 sites worldwide.
Participants in Arm A will receive oral venetoclax in combination with IV infused obinutuzumab, with a 5 week venetoclax ramp up. Participants in Arm B will receive oral venetoclax in combination with oral acalabrutinib, with a 5 week venetoclax ramp up. Participants in Arm C and Arm D will receive oral venetoclax in combination with oral acalabrutinib, with differing venetoclax ramp up periods. The total study duration is approximately 28 months.

A Study Using Risk Factors to Determine Treatment for Children With Favorable Histology Wilms Tumors (FHWT)
This phase III trial studies using risk factors in determining treatment for children with favorable tissue (histology) Wilms tumors (FHWT). Wilms Tumor is the most common type of kidney cancer in children, and FHWT is the most common subtype. Previous large clinical trials have established treatment plans that are likely to cure most children with FHWT, however some children still have their cancer come back (called relapse) and not all survive. Previous research has identified features of FHWT that are associated with higher or lower risks of relapse. The term "risk" refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Using results of tumor histology tests, biology tests, and response to therapy may be able to improve treatment for children with FHWT.
* Patients must be enrolled on APEC14B1 and consent to Part A - Eligibility Screening prior to enrollment on AREN2231.
* Patients must be \< 30 years old at enrollment.
* Patients with newly diagnosed Stage I-IV Favorable Histology Wilms Tumor confirmed by central review and with a qualifying Initial Stratum Assignment on APEC14B1.
* Patients must receive a qualifying Initial Stratum Assignment on APEC14B1-REN by Day 14 post-diagnostic procedure (nephrectomy or biopsy), where that procedure is Day 0.
* Patients must enroll on AREN2231 by Day 14.
* Exceptions: If patient reaches Day 14 (post initial diagnostic nephrectomy or biopsy) without receiving an Initial Stratum Assignment on APEC14B1-REN, patient will not be eligible for enrollment on AREN2231 unless all required materials (reports and Case Report Forms and specimens) for an Initial Stratum Assignment arrived by Day 7, but an Initial Stratum Assignment was not completed by Day 14. In these circumstances, after obtaining appropriate protocol consent, the patient may proceed with treatment according to local institutional staging and enroll within 5 calendar days of notification of the central Initial Stratum Assignment being issued, only if the AREN2231 Initial Stratum Assignment is in agreement with any treatment already initiated. If the Initial Stratum Assignment is not in agreement with the local institution's assessment then the patient will be ineligible for AREN2231.
* All sites must have sent or plan to send diagnostic tumor sample for molecular testing through a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified (or equivalent if outside of the United States \[US\]) laboratory that can detect Loss of Heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome 1p AND 16q, and gain of chromosome 1q. Patients potentially eligible for mVLR must also have LOH of chromosome 11p15 included.
* Note: Patients are eligible for enrollment prior to obtaining these molecular testing results, and it is strongly recommended that patients are enrolled before these results are available. However, molecular results must be returned and uploaded to APEC14B1-REN for integration into risk stratification by the required timepoints (specific timelines vary by treatment arm). Patients who do not have molecular results available by the arm-specific timepoints may be taken off protocol therapy.
* Patients who have an upfront nephrectomy must have at least one lymph node sampled and confirmed as a lymph node by central pathology review to be eligible.
* Note: Lymph node sampling will also be required at delayed nephrectomy. Patients who do not have a lymph node sampled and confirmed as a lymph node by central pathology review at delayed nephrectomy will be taken off protocol therapy.
* Karnofsky performance status must be ≥ 50 for patients \> 16 years of age and the Lansky performance status must be ≥ 50 for patients ≤ 16 years of age.
* Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) OR direct bilirubin ≤ 3X ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels \> 1.5 ULN (within 7 days prior to enrollment).

* Shortening fraction of ≥ 27% by echocardiogram, or ejection fraction of ≥ 50% (within 7 days prior to enrollment)
* Note: This criteria only applies to patients centrally classified as Stage IV. Stage II and III patients subsequently assigned to a doxorubicin arm will be off protocol therapy if they do not meet this criteria at time of cardiac function assessment.
* Known HIV-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial.

* Notes:
* In the context of the renal tumor protocols, multicentric tumors and multifocal tumors are equivalent terms, and refer to the occurrence of two or more tumors arising within one kidney.
* Exclusion from the Nephrectomy Only arm applies to two groups of patients:
* Patients \< 4 years with Stage I FHWT other than epithelial subtype AND
* Stage I patients of any age with Epithelial WT

* WT Predisposing Conditions:
* A unilateral WT and (radiologic or pathologic) determination of contralateral nephrogenic rest(s) AND/OR
* Unilateral multicentric WT
* Patients treated with partial nephrectomy at initial diagnosis are excluded from mVLR (Nephrectomy Only) arm.
* Patients with lung metastases as the only metastatic site who already had complete resection of all radiologically evident lung nodules, and have at least one nodule confirmed pathologically as tumor.
* Please note: Those with lung metastases as the only metastatic site who have complete resection of all radiologically evident lung nodules after enrollment but prior to the lung imaging following Cycle 2 of DD-4A will be inevaluable for lung assessment and subsequent stratum assignment and will, therefore, come off protocol therapy.
* Patients with known Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome.
* Patients who have had prior tumor-directed chemotherapy or radiotherapy for the current diagnosis except for therapy delivered for an emergent issue, as medically indicated.

A Study of Lower Radiotherapy Dose to Treat Children With CNS Germinoma
This phase II trial studies how well lower dose radiotherapy after chemotherapy (Carboplatin \& Etoposide) works in treating children with central nervous system (CNS) germinomas. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor 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 may kill cancer cells. Researchers want to see if lowering the dose of standard radiotherapy (RT) after chemotherapy can help get rid of CNS germinomas with fewer long-term side effects.

The ROle of Compression StocKings in Heart Failure Patients (ROCK-HF)
Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart is weak and not able to effectively pump blood to the body. One of the common manifestations of CHF is fluid overload and swelling of the legs. Diuretics or "water pills" are usually the treatment for fluid overload and leg swelling; however, in some patients' diuretics are no longer effective or the effectiveness is limited due to poor kidney function. The presence of chronic swelling of the legs could potentially damage the veins; additionally, it could lead to chronic skin changes in the legs and in the worst cases to a leg ulcer. Compression stockings are used in patients with venous diseases to reduce the swelling of the legs and improve mobility and quality of life. Although, there is a theoretical risk that compression stockings might push the fluid of the legs back to the heart and lungs worsening the CHF. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of knee-high tight socks (tight stockings with strong compression) vs. knee-high soft socks (soft stockings with minimum compression) are effective in preventing swelling and skin changes and safe in patients with CHF. During the first visit (in-person) a routine medical test will be performed including blood tests, review of the medication doses, current weight, an ultrasound images of the veins, (venous reflux ultrasound), questions about health status and a brief physical exam. The participants will be randomly assigned to receive tight compression vs. soft compression socks. Participants will be asked to wear the socks at least 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. There will be a total of 3 virtual visit (by video or telephone); the first one after one week, then after one month and two months. During the virtual visit participants will be asked about symptoms, current medications and doses, and current weight. The participants are expected to return to the clinic after 3 months for a second in-person visit. During this visit the investigators will ask questions about participant's health, they will perform a brief physical exam of their legs, and check participants weight and medicines; also, a venous ultrasound of the legs, questions about health status will be performed. The duration of the study is 3 months.
