A Culturally-Tailored Mobile Health and Social Media Physical Activity Intervention for Improving Physical Activity in Hispanic or Latino/Latina Adolescent and Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors, Walking Juntos Study
This clinical trial tests the impact of a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program on physical fitness in Hispanic or Latino/Latina adolescent and young adult (AYA) childhood cancer survivors. After treatment for cancer, some AYA survivors experience long-term effects from the cancer and its treatment including weight gain, fatigue and decreased physical fitness. Hispanic or Latino/Latina survivors may have a higher risk of these effects compared to non-Hispanics. Regular physical activity helps maintain healthy weight, energy levels and overall health. Participating in a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program may help increase physical activity in Hispanic or Latino/Latina AYA childhood cancer survivors.

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.

* 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
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.

A Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Pediatric Participants With an Advanced Solid Tumor or Lymphoma (MK-3475-051/KEYNOTE-051)
This is a two-part study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in pediatric participants who have any of
the following types of cancer:
- advanced melanoma (6 months to <18 years of age),
- advanced, relapsed or refractory programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive malignant
solid tumor or other lymphoma (6 months to <18 years of age),
- relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (rrcHL) (3 years to <18 years of age),
or
- advanced relapsed or refractory microsatellite-instability-high (MSI-H) solid tumors (6
months to <18 years of age).

Abatacept in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Myocarditis (ATRIUM)
The primary aim is to test whether abatacept, as compared to placebo, is associated with a
reduction in major adverse cardiac events (MACE) among participants hospitalized with
myocarditis secondary to an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). The primary outcome, MACE, is
a composite of first occurrence of cardiovascular death, non-fatal sudden cardiac arrest,
cardiogenic shock, significant ventricular arrythmias, significant bradyarrythmias, or
incident heart failure.
• Must have provided informed consent in a manner approved by the Investigator's
Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to any study-related procedure being performed.
If a participant is unable to provide informed consent due to his/her medical
condition, the participant's legally authorized representative may consent on behalf
of the study participant, as permitted by local law and institutional Standard
Operating Procedures;
• Aged greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of informed consent;
• Recent use of an FDA-approved immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI, defined as
administered an immune checkpoint inhibitor ≤ 6 months of myocarditis diagnosis),
alone or in combination with other cancer therapies (i.e. chemotherapy, radiation
therapy or targeted therapy). The FDA-approved ICI could be given as part of a
clinical trial but not in combination with a new investigational agent which may cause
myocarditis;
• A diagnosis of myocarditis.
• Hospitalized at the time of randomization;
• On 1000 mg of solumedrol per day for myocarditis or with an intent to initiate 1000 mg
of solumedrol per day for myocarditis within 24 hours of first administration of study
drug;
• Serum evidence of ongoing myocardial injury: Serum evidence of ongoing myocardial
injury will be defined as an institutional troponin (either conventional or
high-sensitivity troponin I or T, using the standard institutional assay) with a value
that is ≥5 times the upper limit of the reference standard normal for that
institution. The troponin assay may be adjusted based on sex depending on
institutional standards. This value of troponin of ≥5 times above the institutional
upper limits of normal value must be noted within 10 days prior to potential
randomization. The 10-day period can be in the outpatient or inpatient setting. For
example, a participant with a troponin value that on one occasion was ≥5 times the
upper limits of institutional normal in the 10-day window prior to potential
randomization (whether in the inpatient or outpatient setting), but later decreases
below that threshold, typically due to starting corticosteroids, would still be
considered eligible;
• The following laboratory parameters, not older than 48 hours at the time of
randomization, and measured as part of usual care:
• Total white blood cell (WBC) count >2,500/μl
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1,500/μL
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) <20 times the
upper limit of the institutional normal ranges;
• Women of childbearing potential (i.e., not postmenopausal, or surgically sterilized)
must have a negative highly sensitive urine or serum pregnancy test prior to
randomization. Participating women of childbearing potential must be willing to
consistently use effective methods of contraception from screening until at least 90
days after administration of the last dose of study drug. Participating men must also
be willing to consistently use effective methods of contraception from screening until
at least 90 days after administration of the last dose of study drug; and
• Must be willing and able to abide by all study requirements and restrictions.
Exclusion Criteria:
• Must not have experienced any of the following (as defined in the section on the
primary endpoint) in the 30-day period prior to randomization:
• A sudden cardiac arrest
• Cardiogenic shock as defined. A significant bradyarrhythmia (Mobitz type II
second degree atrioventricular block or third degree (complete) atrio-ventricular
(AV) block, for which an intervention with a temporary or permanent pacemaker is
completed or recommended).
• A significant tachyarrhythmia (ventricular fibrillation of any duration or
sustained ventricular tachycardia (>30 seconds, >120 beats per minute); or a
ventricular tachyarrhythmia requiring intervention.
• Recent (≤2 month) exposure to abatacept or belatacept.
• Concurrent or recent (≤2 month) use of the following non-corticosteroid
immunosuppressive therapies prior to randomization: mycophenolate, JAK STAT inhibitors
(including but not limited to upadacitinib, tofacitinib, baricitinib, and filgotinib),
tacrolimus, anti-thymocyte globulin, alemtuzumab, infliximab, and plasma exchange. The
use of intravenous immunoglobulin is permitted prior to randomization and during study
treatment.
• Currently enrolled in another interventional study utilizing systemic agents for the
management of ICI-related toxicities.
• Female who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or is considering becoming pregnant during the
study or for approximately 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
• Male who is considering fathering a child or donating sperm during the study or for
approximately 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
• Any active, chronic, or recurrent viral infection that, based on the investigator's
clinical assessment, makes the participant an unsuitable candidate for the study.
These may include hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV), recurrent or
disseminated (even a single episode) herpes zoster, and disseminated (even a single
episode) herpes simplex. Active HBV and HCV are defined as: HBV: hepatitis B surface
antigen (HBs Ag) positive (+) or detected sensitivity on the HBV deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) qualitative test for Hepatitis B core antibody
(HBc Ab) positive (+) participants; HCV: HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) detectable in any
participant with anti-HCV antibody (HCV Ab). Patients with active Covid-19 infection
will be excluded. This is defined as the period of ongoing symptoms in the setting of
a positive Covid-19 test, or until 10 days after symptom onset and after resolution of
fever for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications.
• Known active tuberculosis (TB), history of incompletely treated TB, suspected or known
extrapulmonary TB, suspected or known systemic bacterial or fungal infections;
• Receipt of any live vaccine within four weeks prior to the first dose of study drug,
or expected need of live vaccination during study participation including at least 90
days after the last dose of IV study drug.
• Any medical condition that could interfere with, or for which the treatment might
interfere with, the conduct of the study or interpretation of the study results, or
that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, increase the risk of the participant
by participating in the study.
• Any factors that, in the Investigator's opinion, are likely to interfere with study
procedures, such as history of noncompliance with scheduled appointments.
