Study to Learn More About the Safety and Effectiveness of the Drug VITRAKVI During Routine Use in Patients With TRK Fusion Cancer Which is Locally Advanced or Spread From the Place Where it Started to Other Places in the Body (ON-TRK)
In this observational study researcher want to learn more about the effectiveness of drug
VITRAKVI (generic name: larotrectinib) and how well the drug is tolerated during routine use
in patients with TRK fusion cancer which is locally advanced or spread from the place where
it started to other places in the body. TRK fusion cancer is a term used to describe a
variety of common and rare cancers that are caused by a change to the NTRK (Neurotrophic
Tyrosine Kinase) gene called a fusion. During this fusion, an NTRK gene joins together, or
fuses, with a different gene. This joining results in the activation of certain proteins (TRK
fusion proteins), which can cause cancer cells to multiply and form a tumor. VITRAKVI is an
approved drug that blocks the action of the NTRK gene fusion. This study will enroll adult
and paediatric patients suffering from a solid tumor with NTRK gene fusion for whom the
decision to treat their disease with VITRAKVI has been made by their treating physicians.
During the study, patients' medical information such as treatment information with VITRAKVI,
other medication or treatments, changes in disease status and other health signs and symptoms
will be collected within the normal medical care by the treating doctor. Participants will be
observed over a period from 24 to 60 months.
* Adult and pediatric (from 1 month to 18-year-old) patients
* Patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor harboring an NTRK gene fusion. NTRK (NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3) gene fusions will be identified locally. Acceptable methods of detection of NTRK gene fusion include NGS, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR) or any other genomic testing able to detect NTRK gene fusion. If a pan-TRK IHC method is used, this result needs to be accompanied with the results using one of the other methods noted above.
* Life expectancy of at least 3 months based on clinical judgement
* Decision to treat with larotrectinib made by the treating physician prior to study enrollment
* Patients can also be enrolled if the initial visit (larotrectinib start date) occurred within 2 months ±3 days prior to informed consent signed date
* Signed informed consent form
* For patients under legal age, signed assent by the patient (where applicable) and parental/legal guardian signed informed consent is required
Exclusion Criteria:
* Any contraindications as listed in the local approved product information
* Pregnancy
* Participation in an investigational program with interventions outside of routine clinical practice
* Prior treatment with larotrectinib or other kinase inhibitor with TRK inhibition
* Patients with NTRK gene amplification or NTRK point mutation

Letrozole With or Without Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Stage II-IV Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
This phase III trial studies how well letrozole with or without paclitaxel and carboplatin
works in treating patients with stage II-IV low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary,
fallopian tube, or peritoneum. Letrozole is an enzyme inhibitor that lowers the amount of
estrogen made by the body which in turn may stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen
to grow. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, 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. It is not yet known whether giving letrozole
alone or in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin works better in treating patients
with low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum compared to
paclitaxel and carboplatin without letrozole.
• Patients must have newly diagnosed, stage II-IV low-grade serous ovarian cancer

Medical Monitor, may compromise or interfere with any aspect of study conduct or
interpretation of results. This includes, but is not limited to, unstable or
uncontrolled angina, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV congestive
heart failure, uncontrolled and sustained hypertension, clinically significant cardiac

Testing the Addition of a New Anti-cancer Drug, Radium-223 Dichloride, to the Usual Treatment (Cabozantinib) for Advanced Renal Cell Cancer That Has Spread to the Bone, RadiCaL Study
This phase II trial studies whether adding radium-223 dichloride to the usual treatment,
cabozantinib, improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that has spread to the
bone. Radioactive drugs such as radium-223 dichloride may directly target radiation to cancer
cells and minimize harm to normal cells. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by
blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving radium-223 dichloride and
cabozantinib may help lessen the pain and symptoms from renal cell cancer that has spread to
the bone, compared to cabozantinib alone.
* Documented histologic or cytologic diagnosis of renal cell cancer (RCC). All subtypes of RCC are eligible including but not limited to clear cell, papillary, chromophobe, translocation, collecting duct carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and unclassified categories. Enrollment of non-clear cell patients will be limited to 20% of the total sample size (\~ 42 patients). Once this goal is met, accrual of non-clear cell patients will be discontinued (a notice will be sent out 2 weeks in advance). Sarcomatoid and rhabdoid differentiation are allowed
* Presence of at least 1 metastatic bone lesion not treated with prior radiation is required.
* The presence of bone metastases can be detected by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Tc-99m bone scan or positron emission tomography (PET) (fludeoxyglucose F-18 \[FDG\] or sodium fluoride \[NaF\]) imaging. Patients with non-measurable bone-only disease are allowed. Patients may have received prior radiation therapy for bone metastases or other external radiation \>= 7 days prior to registration, as long as they still have at least 1 metastatic bone lesion not treated with radiation. Patients with visceral metastases are allowed, as long as they have at least one untreated bone metastases
* No prior treatment with cabozantinib

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.

89Zr-DFO-Atezolizumab ImmunoPET/CT in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
This is an exploratory clinical trial to assess the potential of 89Zr-DFO-Atezolizumab
Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scans in patients with locally
advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This open label, nontherapeutic trial will
test the correlation of 89Zr-DFO-Atezolizumab immunoPET/CT with programmed death-ligand 1
(PD-L1) expression and the response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with
RCC. There will be two cohorts, one made up of patients with localized RCC who will undergo

metastatic RCC who will undergo 89Zr-DFO-Atezolizumab PET/CT prior to treatment with an
immune checkpoint inhibitor.
* Patients with suspected renal cell carcinoma with planned surgery or patients with metastatic RCC and a tissue diagnosis. (In standard clinical practice, biopsy is not routinely performed in patients who will be having surgery).
* Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
* Patient must be able to lie still for a 30 to 60 minute PET/CT scan.
* One of the following:

A Study of Tucatinib vs. Placebo in Combination With Ado-trastuzumab Emtansine (T-DM1) for Patients With Advanced or Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer
This study is being done to see if tucatinib with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) works
better than T-DM1 alone to help patients who have a specific type of breast cancer called
HER2 positive breast carcinoma. The breast cancer in this study is either metastatic (spread
into other parts of the body) or cannot be removed completely with surgery.
Patients in this study will be randomly assigned to get either tucatinib or placebo (a pill
with no medicine). This is a blinded study, so neither patients nor their doctors will know
whether a patient gets tucatinib or placebo. All patients in the study will get T-DM1, a drug
that is often used to treat this cancer.
Each treatment cycle lasts 21 days. Patients will swallow tucatinib pills or placebo pills
two times every day. Patients will get T-DM1 injections from the study site staff on the
first day of every cycle.
* Histologically confirmed HER2+ breast carcinoma as determined by a sponsor-designated central laboratory

Inotuzumab Ozogamicin and Post-Induction Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With High-Risk B-ALL, Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia, and B-LLy
This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction
chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves
outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute
leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without
inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab,
linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in
a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy
regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin,
methotrexate, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, prednisone, thioguanine, vincristine, and
pegaspargase or calaspargase pegol 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 will also study the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute
leukemia (MPAL) and disseminated B lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with high-risk
ALL chemotherapy.
The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard
of care chemotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic
Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first two phases of therapy:
Induction and Consolidation. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as
the effects of the initial treatment, to classify patients into post-consolidation treatment
groups. On the second part of this study, patients with HR B-ALL will receive the remainder
of the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance I, delayed intensification, interim
maintenance II, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. The
patients that receive inotuzumab will not receive part of delayed intensification. Other aims
of this study include investigating whether treating both males and females with the same
duration of chemotherapy maintains outcomes for males who have previously been treated for an
additional year compared to girls, as well as to evaluate the best ways to help patients
adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens. Finally, this study will be the first to track the
outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-LLy) or Mixed
Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.
• B-ALL and MPAL patients must be enrolled on APEC14B1 and consented to eligibility
studies (Part A) prior to treatment and enrollment on AALL1732. Note that central
confirmation of MPAL diagnosis must occur within 22 days of enrollment for suspected
MPAL patients. If not performed within this time frame, patients will be taken off
protocol.
• APEC14B1 is not a requirement for B-LLy patients but for institutional compliance

circulating leukemic cells if a bone marrow aspirate or biopsy cannot be
performed.
• Patient has newly diagnosed B-LLy Murphy stages III or IV.
• Patient has newly diagnosed B-LLy Murphy stages I or II with steroid pretreatment.
• Note: For B-LLy patients with tissue available for flow cytometry, the criterion for
diagnosis should be analogous to B-ALL. For tissue processed by other means (i.e.,
paraffin blocks), the methodology and criteria for immunophenotypic analysis to
establish the diagnosis of B-LLy defined by the submitting institution will be
accepted.
• Central nervous system (CNS) status must be determined prior to enrollment based on a
sample obtained prior to administration of any systemic or intrathecal chemotherapy,
except for steroid pretreatment and cytoreduction. It is recommended that intrathecal
cytarabine be administered at the time of the diagnostic lumbar puncture. This is
usually done at the time of the diagnostic bone marrow or venous line placement to
avoid a second lumbar puncture. This is allowed prior to enrollment. Systemic
chemotherapy must begin within 72 hours of this intrathecal therapy.
• All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed
consent.
• All institutional, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and NCI requirements for human
studies must be met.
Exclusion Criteria:

• Morphologically unclassifiable lymphoma.
• Absence of both B-cell and T-cell phenotype markers in a case submitted as
lymphoblastic lymphoma.
• Patients with known Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
• Patients with known MYC translocation associated with mature (Burkitt) B-cell ALL,
regardless of blast immunophenotype.
• Patients requiring radiation at diagnosis.
• Female patients who are pregnant, since fetal toxicities and teratogenic effects have
been noted for several of the study drugs. A pregnancy test is required for female
patients of childbearing potential.
• Lactating women who plan to breastfeed their infants while on study and for 2 months
after the last dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin.
• Sexually active patients of reproductive potential who have not agreed to use an
effective contraceptive method for the duration of study participation. For those

B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Central Nervous System Leukemia, Testicular Leukemia, Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia, B Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, Leukemia, Other
Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone With or Without Daratumumab in Treating Patients With High-Risk Smoldering Myeloma
This phase III trial studies how well lenalidomide and dexamethasone works with or without
daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab,
may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor
cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and dexamethasone with daratumumab may work
better in treating patients with smoldering myeloma.
* Patients must be diagnosed with asymptomatic high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) within the past 12 months. High-risk is defined by the presence of 2 or more of the following factors:

Non-Contrast Perfusion Using Arterial Spin Labeled MR Imaging for Assessment of Therapy Response in Glioblastoma
MRI including ASL will be performed before, during and after the treatment, in a total of 7
MRI sessions until 8 months after the first session. Thereafter, patients will be followed
through standard clinical examinations for the next 3 years or until demise, whichever occurs
first.
Clinically, GBM patients are imaged every 8-weeks, beginning at 10 weeks after the completion
of chemoradiation, since morphological (i.e. size) changes are not anticipated earlier.
However, our preliminary experience and others have shown functional changes including
perfusion and diffusion as early as 3-weeks after the initiation of the treatment . Thus, our
T10, T18, T26 and T34 MRI sessions will be performed along with the clinical imaging
sessions, while the T3 and T6 MRI sessions will be performed additionally for this proposal.
All MR imaging sessions will be scheduled within ±1 or ±2 weeks of the target time period, as
indicated in the table.
MRI including ASL will be performed before, during and after the treatment, in a total of 7
MRI sessions until 8 months after the first session. The research MR imaging may take
approximately an additional 15 minutes per each imaging session. However, the T3, and T6 MR
imaging sessions will be performed additionally for the purpose of this study, with each
taking approximately one hour. Thereafter, patients will be followed through standard
clinical examinations for the next 3 years or until demise, whichever occurs first.

orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who
meets the following criteria: 1) Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral
oophorectomy; or 2) 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).
• Scheduled to undergo chemoradiation.
Exclusion Criteria:

Dabrafenib Combined With Trametinib After Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly-Diagnosed High-Grade Glioma
This phase II trial studies how well the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib works after
radiation therapy in children and young adults with high grade glioma who have a genetic
change called BRAF V600 mutation. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells
and reduce the size of tumors. Dabrafenib and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells
by blocking BRAF and MEK, respectively, which are enzymes that tumor cells need for their
growth. Giving dabrafenib with trametinib after radiation therapy may work better than
treatments used in the past in patients with newly-diagnosed BRAF V600-mutant high-grade
glioma.

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose of ruxolitinib when given together with CPX-351
and to see how well they work in treating patients with accelerated phase or blast phase
myeloproliferative neoplasm. Ruxolitinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some
of the enzymes needed for cell growth. CPX-351 is a mixture of 2 chemotherapy drugs
(daunorubicin and cytarabine) given for leukemia in small fat-based particles (liposomes) to
improve the drug getting into cancer cells. Giving ruxolitinib and CPX-351 may work better in
treating patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia compared to CPX-351 alone.

A Study of the Drugs Selumetinib Versus Carboplatin/Vincristine in Patients With Neurofibromatosis and Low-Grade Glioma
This phase III trial studies if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment with
carboplatin/vincristine (CV) for subjects with NF1-associated low grade glioma (LGG), and to
see if selumetinib is better than CV in improving vision in subjects with LGG of the optic
pathway (vision nerves). Selumetinib is a drug that works by blocking some enzymes that
low-grade glioma tumor cells need for their growth. This results in killing tumor cells.
Drugs used as chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and vincristine, 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. It is not yet known whether selumetinib works better in
treating patients with NF1-associated low-grade glioma compared to standard therapy with
carboplatin and vincristine.

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.

Lung-MAP: A Master Screening Protocol for Previously-Treated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This screening and multi-sub-study randomized phase II/III trial will establish a method for
genomic screening of similar large cancer populations followed by assigning and accruing
simultaneously to a multi-sub-study hybrid Master Protocol (Lung-MAP). The type of cancer
trait (biomarker) will determine to which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will
be assigned to compare new targeted cancer therapy, designed to block the growth and spread
of cancer, or combinations to standard of care therapy with the ultimate goal of being able
to approve new targeted therapies in this setting. In addition, the protocol includes
non-match sub-studies which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the
biomarker-driven sub-studies.
• 1 Registration
Step 0:
• Patients who need the fresh biopsy must also submit whole blood for ctDNA testing (see
Section 15.3). These patients must be registered to Step 0 to obtain a patient ID
number for the submission.
Patients registered to Step 0 are not registered to the LUNGMAP protocol. To
participate in LUNGMAP, patients must be registered to Step 1 after evaluation of
patient eligibility, including tumor tissue adequacy, per protocol Section 5.1, Step
• Patients registered at Step 0 must use the same SWOG patient ID for registration at
Step 1.
Step 1:
• Patients must have pathologically proven non-small cell lung cancer (all histologic
types) confirmed by tumor biopsy and/or fine-needle aspiration. Disease must be Stage
IV as defined in Section 4.0, or recurrent. The primary diagnosis of non-small cell
lung cancer should be established using the current WHO/IASLC-classification of
Thoracic Malignancies. All histologies, including mixed, are allowed.
• Patients must either be eligible to be screened at progression on prior treatment or
to be pre-screened prior to progression on current treatment.
These criteria are:
• Screening at progression on prior treatment:
To be eligible for screening at progression, patients must have received at least
one line of systemic therapy for any stage of disease (Stages I-IV) and must have
progressed during or following their most recent line of therapy.
• For patients whose prior systemic therapy was for Stage I-III disease only
(i.e. patient has not received any treatment for Stage IV or recurrent
disease), disease progression on platinum-based chemotherapy must have
occurred within one year from the last date that patient received that
therapy. For patients treated with consolidation anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1
therapy for Stage III disease, disease progression on consolidation
anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy must have occurred within one year from the
date or initiation of such therapy.
• For patients whose prior therapy was for Stage IV or recurrent disease, the
patient must have received at least one line of a platinum-based
chemotherapy regimen or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, alone or in combination
(e.g. Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab).
• Pre-Screening prior to progression on current treatment:
To be eligible for pre-screening, current treatment must be for Stage IV or recurrent
disease and patient must have received at least one dose of the current regimen.
Patients must have previously received or currently be receiving a platinum-based
chemotherapy regimen or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, alone or in combination (e.g.
Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab). Patients on first-line treatment are eligible upon
receiving Cycle 1, Day 1 infusion. Note: Patients will not receive their sub-study
assignment until they progress and the LUNGMAP Notice of Progression is submitted.
• Patients must have adequate tumor tissue available, defined as ≥ 20% tumor cells and ≥
• 2 mm3 tumor volume.
• The local interpreting pathologist must review the specimen.
• The pathologist must sign the LUNGMAP Local Pathology Review Form confirming
tissue adequacy prior to Step 1 registration.
Patients must agree to have this tissue submitted to Foundation Medicine for common
broad platform CLIA biomarker profiling, PD-L1, and c-MET IHC (see Section 15.2). If
archival tumor material is exhausted, then a new fresh tumor biopsy that is
formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) must be obtained. Patients who need the
fresh biopsy must also submit whole peripheral blood for ctDNA testing. A tumor block
or FFPE slides 4-5 microns thick must be submitted. Bone biopsies are not allowed. If
FFPE slides are to be submitted, at least 12 unstained slides plus an H&E stained
slide, or 13 unstained slides must be submitted. However, it is strongly recommended
that 20 FFPE slides be submitted. Note: Previous next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS)
will be repeated if done outside this study for sub-study assignment.
Patients must agree to have any tissue that remains after testing retained for the use
of sub-study Translational Medicine (TM) studies at the time of consent the patient is
enrolled in.
• Patients with known EGFR sensitizing mutations, EGFR T790M mutation, ALK gene fusion,
ROS 1 gene rearrangement, or BRAF V600E mutation are not eligible unless they have
progressed following all standard of care targeted therapy. EGFR/ALK/ROS/BRAF testing
is not required prior to Step 1 registration, as it is included in the Foundation One
testing for screening/pre-screening.
• Patients must have Zubrod performance status 0-1 (see Section 10.2) documented within
28 days prior to Step 1 registration.
• Patients must be ≥ 18 years of age.
• Patients must also be offered participation in banking for future use of specimens as
described in Section 15.0.
• Patients must be willing to provide prior smoking history as required on the LUNGMAP
Onstudy Form.
• As a part of the OPEN registration process (see Section 13.4 for OPEN access
instructions) the treating institution's identity is provided in order to ensure that
the current (within 365 days) date of institutional review board approval for this
study has been entered in the system.
• Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign
and give written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal
guidelines.
• U.S. patients who can complete the survey and the interview by telephone or email in
English must be offered participation in the S1400GEN Survey Ancillary Study if local
institution's policies allow participants to receive the Amazon gift card (see
Sections 15.7 and 18.5). Patients at institutions that cannot offer the survey must
still participate in the main 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

* 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
* 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.

* 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

Efficacy and Safety of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Combination With Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) in High-Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (HR NMIBC) (MK-3475-676/KEYNOTE-676)
This study is designed to assess the antitumor efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in
combination with BCG, compared to BCG monotherapy, in participants with HR NMIBC that is
either persistent or recurrent following adequate BCG induction (Cohort A), or that is naïve
to BCG treatment (Cohort B). The primary hypothesis for Cohort A is that the combination of
pembrolizumab plus BCG has a superior complete response rate (CRR) as assessed by central
pathology review compared to BCG in participants with carcinoma in situ (CIS). The primary
hypothesis for Cohort B is that the combination of pembrolizumab plus BCG (either reduced
maintenance or full maintenance) has a superior Event Free Survival (EFS) compared to BCG.

Multiparametric MRI in Evaluating Cancer Stage and Helping Treatment Planning in Patients With Prostate Cancer
This phase II trial studies how well multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works
in evaluating cancer stage and helping treatment planning in patients with prostate cancer.
Multiparametric MRI may be useful for evaluating the type of cancer in finding aggressive
disease.
• Recently diagnosed with prostate cancer for whom definitive surgical treatment is
indicated
Exclusion Criteria:
• Not suitable to undergo MRI or receive gadolinium-based contrast agent (severe,
untreatable claustrophobia; MRI-incompatible metallic objects or implanted medical
devices; renal failure; weight greater than allowable by scanner per institutional
standard practice)
• Prior surgical and/or non-surgical treatment for prostate cancer
• Prior hip replacement or other major pelvic surgery
Diagnostic Test: Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging
