Nivolumab or Nivolumab and Azacitidine in Patients With Recurrent, Resectable Osteosarcoma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nivolumab, or nivolumab
in combination with azacitidine in participants with recurrent, resectable osteosarcoma
• Participants must have had a histologic diagnosis of osteosarcoma at original
diagnosis
• Disease Status: Patients with an isolated pulmonary recurrence of osteosarcoma can be
enrolled on this study.
• Any history of metastatic disease at a site other than lung would make the
patient ineligible for this study.

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
• Age >= 18 years; children are excluded from this study but may be eligible for future
pediatric phase 1 combination trials

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
• 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
Exclusion Criteria:
• Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks (6 weeks for
nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not
recovered from adverse events (AEs) due to agents administered more than 4 weeks
earlier have not resolved or stabilized. Palliative (limited-field) radiation therapy
(RT) is permitted (2 week washout from start of treatment), if all of the following
criteria are met:
• Repeat imaging demonstrates no new sites of bone metastases
• The lesion being considered for palliative radiation is not a target lesion
• Patients with prior therapy with an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1
• Patients with prior allogeneic hematologic transplant
• Patients who are receiving any other anticancer investigational agents
• 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
• Patients who have had evidence of active or acute diverticulitis, intra-abdominal
abscess, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, obstruction, and abdominal carcinomatosis
which are known risk factors for bowel perforation should be evaluated for the
potential need for additional treatment before coming on study. For the IBD (UC and
CD) cohort, an endoscopic assessment, disease activity index, and disease specific
inclusion/exclusion criteria will substitute for these factors in determining
eligibility with the exception of abdominal carcinomatosis, which should prompt
further evaluation

Nivolumab in Combination With Chemo-Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma
This phase III trial compares the effects of nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy versus
chemo-immunotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary mediastinal
B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may
help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer
cells to grow and spread. Treatment for PMBCL involves chemotherapy combined with an
immunotherapy called rituximab. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth
of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping
them from spreading. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20,
which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This
may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy may
help treat patients with PMBCL.

A Study of a New Way to Treat Children and Young Adults With a Brain Tumor Called NGGCT
This phase II trial studies the best approach to combine chemotherapy and radiation therapy
(RT) based on the patient's response to induction chemotherapy in patients with
non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT) that have not spread to other parts of the brain
or body (localized). This study has 2 goals: 1) optimizing radiation for patients who respond
well to induction chemotherapy to diminish spinal cord relapses, 2) utilizing higher dose
chemotherapy followed by conventional RT in patients who did not respond to induction
chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide, and thiotepa,
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. Radiation therapy uses high
energy x-rays or high-energy protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Studies have
shown that patients with newly-diagnosed localized NGGCT, whose disease responds well to
chemotherapy before receiving radiation therapy, are more likely to be free of the disease
for a longer time than are patients for whom the chemotherapy does not efficiently eliminate
or reduce the size of the tumor. The purpose of this study is to see how well the tumors
respond to induction chemotherapy to decide what treatment to give next. Some patients will
be given RT to the spine and a portion of the brain. Others will be given high dose
chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant before RT to the whole brain and spine. Giving
treatment based on the response to induction chemotherapy may lower the side effects of
radiation in some patients and adjust the therapy to a more efficient one for other patients
with localized NGGCT.

within 10 days of surgery
• Patients must have CSF tumor markers obtained prior to enrollment unless medically
contraindicated. Ventricular CSF obtained at the time of CSF diversion procedure (if
performed) is acceptable for tumor markers but lumbar CSF is preferred. In case CSF
diversion and biopsy/surgery are combined, CSF tumor markers should be collected first

A Study to Compare Early Use of Vinorelbine and Maintenance Therapy for Patients With High Risk Rhabdomyosarcoma
This phase III trial compares the safety and effect of adding vinorelbine to vincristine,
dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide (VAC) for the treatment of patients with high risk
rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). High risk refers to cancer that is likely to recur (come back) after
treatment or spread to other parts of the body. This study will also examine if adding
maintenance therapy after VAC therapy, with or without vinorelbine, will help get rid of the
cancer and/or lower the chance that the cancer comes back. Vinorelbine and vincristine are in
a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. They work by stopping cancer cells from
growing and dividing and may kill them. Dactinomycin is a type of antibiotic that is only
used in cancer chemotherapy. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and
may kill cancer cells. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating
agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the
body's immune response. Vinorelbine, vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide are
chemotherapy medications that work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells,
either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from
spreading. This trial may have the potential to eliminate rhabdomyosarcoma for a long time or
for the rest of patient's life.

Radiation Medication (Radium-223 Dichloride) Versus Radium-223 Dichloride Plus Radiation Enhancing Medication (M3814) Versus Radium-223 Dichloride Plus M3814 Plus Avelumab (a Type of Immunotherapy) for Advanced Prostate Cancer Not Responsive to Hormonal Therapy
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose of M3814 when given together with radium-223
dichloride or with radium-223 dichloride and avelumab and to see how well they work in
treating patients with castrate-resistant prostate cancer that had spread to other places in
the body (metastatic). M3814 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the
enzymes needed for cell growth. Radioactive drugs, such as radium-223 dichloride, may carry
radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal
antibodies, such as avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may
interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This study is being done to
find out the better treatment between radium-223 dichloride alone, radium-223 dichloride in
combination with M3814, or radium-223 dichloride in combination with both M3814 and avelumab,
to lower the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading in the bone, and if this approach
is better or worse than the usual approach for advanced prostate cancer not responsive to
hormonal therapy.

Phase 2 Study With Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Driven Adaptive Strategy in Treatment for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (MM) With Upfront Daratumumab-based Therapy
This phase 2 trial will test whether the combination of DaraRd (daratumumab + lenalidomide +
dexamethasone) as induction therapy, followed by DRVd (daratumumab + lenalidomide +
bortezomib + dexamethasone) consolidation therapy, if needed, will result in more patients
achieving minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative status, relative to the standard of care.
Consolidation therapy will be administered only to those patients with MRD-positive status
after induction therapy.
This is a study based on adaptive design for decision making of treatment options. Duration
of therapy (daratumumab cycles) will depend on individual approach, response, evidence of
disease progression and tolerance.

A Study of the Drug Selinexor With Radiation Therapy in Patients With Newly-Diagnosed Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine (DIPG) Glioma and High-Grade Glioma (HGG)
This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of selinexor given in
combination with standard radiation therapy in treating children and young adults with newly
diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma (HGG) with a genetic
change called H3 K27M mutation. It also tests whether combination of selinexor and standard
radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in this patient population. Glioma is a type of
cancer that occurs in the brain or spine. Glioma is considered high risk (or high-grade) when
it is growing and spreading quickly. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer
coming back after treatment. DIPG is a subtype of HGG that grows in the pons (a part of the
brainstem that controls functions like breathing, swallowing, speaking, and eye movements).
This trial has two parts. The only difference in treatment between the two parts is that some
subjects treated in Part 1 may receive a different dose of selinexor than the subjects
treated in Part 2. In Part 1 (also called the Dose-Finding Phase), investigators want to
determine the dose of selinexor that can be given without causing side effects that are too
severe. This dose is called the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In Part 2 (also called the
Efficacy Phase), investigators want to find out how effective the MTD of selinexor is against
HGG or DIPG. Selinexor blocks a protein called CRM1, which may help keep cancer cells from
growing and may kill them. It is a type of small molecule inhibitor called selective
inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE). Radiation therapy uses high energy to kill tumor cells
and shrink tumors. The combination of selinexor and radiation therapy may be effective in
treating patients with newly-diagnosed DIPG and H3 K27M-Mutant HGG.

A Study for Oral SY-2101 for Participants With Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
SY-2101 is being studied as a treatment for participants with a type of leukemia called acute
promyelocytic leukemia (APL). SY-2101 is an oral formulation of a drug called arsenic
trioxide (ATO). ATO is already used to treat APL in a formulation that is given as an
intravenous (IV) infusion (through a needle in the arm). SY-2101 is a formulation of ATO that
is taken orally (by mouth).
This trial will include participants with APL in remission, who are receiving standard of
care (SOC) treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and IV ATO, during the consolidation
phase of chemotherapy or within the past 6 months. The participants in this trial will
receive continued treatment with ATO and ATRA to help keep their cancer from coming back.
There will be some weeks when participants receive IV ATO and others when they receive
SY-2101 (ATO taken orally). Participants with high-risk APL may be eligible for part 1 or 4
of the study for the 6 months following completion of their standard of care ATRA and ATO
treatment.
• Participants must have a diagnosis of APL characterized by the presence of the
t(15;17) translocation or PML/RARA gene expression via reverse transcription
polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or
cytogenetics. Participants with low-risk APL may be eligible for all parts of this
study; participants with high-risk APL are only eligible for the single-dose modules
if they have completed a treatment regimen that included ATO within 6 months prior to
the Screening Visit.
• Participants must have received ATO plus ATRA induction therapy and must have received
or be eligible and planning to receive consolidation therapy with ATO plus ATRA in
alignment with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for low-risk
APL prior to their enrollment in the study; or participants must have completed a
treatment regimen that included ATO within 6 months prior to the Screening Visit.
• Participants must be able to tolerate full dose ATO per NCCN guidelines.
• Participants must be in morphological complete remission (CR) at the end of induction.
• Participants must have a serum or high-sensitivity urine pregnancy test (for females
of childbearing potential) that is negative at the Screening Visit and immediately
prior to initiation of study treatment (first dose of study drug).

Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Advanced Solid Tumors, Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, or Histiocytic Disorders (The Pediatric MATCH Screening Trial)
This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment
that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors,
non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one
line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been
shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of
patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit
more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help
doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Imatinib Mesylate and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
This randomized phase III trial studies how well imatinib mesylate works in combination with
two different chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia
chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Imatinib mesylate has been shown to
improve outcomes in children and adolescents with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) ALL
when given with strong chemotherapy, but the combination has many side effects. This trial is
testing whether a different chemotherapy regimen may work as well as the stronger one but
have fewer side effects when given with imatinib. The trial is also testing how well the
combination of chemotherapy and imatinib works in another group of patients with a type of
ALL that is similar to Ph+ ALL. This type of ALL is called "ABL-class fusion positive ALL",
and because it is similar to Ph+ ALL, is thought it will respond well to the combination of
agents used to treat Ph+ ALL.

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 tumors has spread outside of the organ in which it developed, it is considered
metastatic. Drugs used in chemotherapy, 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.

Testing Docetaxel-Cetuximab or the Addition of an Immunotherapy Drug, Atezolizumab, to the Usual Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in High-Risk Head and Neck Cancer
This phase II/III trial studies how well radiation therapy works when given together with
cisplatin, docetaxel, cetuximab, and/or atezolizumab after surgery in treating patients with
high-risk stage III-IV head and neck cancer the begins in the thin, flat cells (squamous
cell). Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the
tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of
tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cetuximab is a
monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
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. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment (radiation therapy with
cisplatin chemotherapy) to using radiation therapy with docetaxel and cetuximab chemotherapy,
and using the usual treatment plus an immunotherapy drug, atezolizumab.
