Testicular Tissue Cryopreservation for Fertility Preservation
Testicular tissue cryopreservation is an experimental procedure where a young boy's
testicular tissue is retrieved and frozen. This technique is reserved for young male patients
who are not yet producing mature sperm, with the ultimate goal that their tissue may be used
in the future to restore fertility when experimental techniques emerge from the research
pipeline.
• Be male at any age.
• Be scheduled to undergo surgery, chemotherapy, drug treatment and/or radiation for the
treatment or prevention of a medical condition or malignancy with risk of causing
permanent and complete loss of subsequent testicular function.
• Or, have a medical condition or malignancy that requires removal of all or part of one
or both testicles.
• Have newly diagnosed or recurrent disease. Those who were not enrolled at the time of
initial diagnosis (i.e., patients with recurrent disease) are eligible if they have
not previously received therapy that is viewed as likely to result in complete and
permanent loss of testicular function.
• Have two testicles if undergoing elective removal of all or part of a testicle for
fertility preservation only. Note: removal of both testicles will limit fertility
preservation options.
• Sign an approved informed consent and authorization permitting the release of personal
health information. The patient and/or the patient's legally authorized guardian must
acknowledge in writing that consent for specimen collection has been obtained, in
accordance with institutional policies approved by the U.S. Department of Health and
• Consent for serum screening tests for infectious diseases [HIV-1, HIV-2, Hepatitis B,
Hepatitis C], to be performed at the time of testicular tissue harvesting.
• Undergo a full history and physical examination and obtain standard pre-operative
clearance (based on the most recent ACC/AHA Guideline for Perioperative Cardiovascular
Evaluation for Noncardiac Surgery) as determined by their primary surgeon.
• Participating in long term follow-up is a requirement of the protocol.
Exclusion Criteria:
• Diagnosed with psychological, psychiatric, or other conditions which prevent giving
fully informed consent.
• Diagnosed with an underlying medical condition that significantly increases their risk
of complications from anesthesia and surgery.

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.

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, in order to classify patients into post-consolidation
treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients will receive the remainder of
the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance I, delayed intensification, interim maintenance
II, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. 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.

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 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.

regularly consult medical reference texts such as the Physicians' Desk Reference
may also provide this information. As part of the enrollment/informed consent
procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other
agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient
is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product
• The patient has not experienced any of the following:
• Clinically-significant gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months before the first
dose of study treatment
• Hemoptysis of >= 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of red blood per day within 1 months
before the first dose of study treatment
• Any other signs indicative of pulmonary hemorrhage within 3 months before the
first dose of study treatment
• The patient has no tumor invading any major blood vessels
• The patient has no evidence of tumor invading the GI tract (esophagus, stomach, small
or large bowel, rectum or anus), or any evidence of endotracheal or endobronchial
tumor within 28 days before the first dose of cabozantinib. Patients with rectal tumor
masses are not eligible
• The patient has no uncontrolled, significant intercurrent or recent illness including,
but not limited to, the following conditions:
• Cardiovascular disorders including:
• Congestive heart failure (CHF): New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III
(moderate) or class IV (severe) at the time of screening.
• Concurrent uncontrolled hypertension defined as sustained blood pressure
(BP) > 150 mm Hg systolic, or > 90 mm Hg diastolic despite optimal
antihypertensive treatment within 7 days of the first dose of study
treatment
• The subject has a corrected QT interval calculated by the Fridericia formula
(QTcF) > 500 ms within 28 days before randomization. Note: if initial QTcF
is found to be > 500 ms, two additional electrocardiograms (EKGs) separated
by at least 3 minutes should be performed. If the average of these three
consecutive results for QTcF is =< 500 ms, the subject meets eligibility in
this regard
• Any history of congenital long QT syndrome
• Any of the following within 6 months before registration of study treatment:
• Unstable angina pectoris
• Clinically-significant cardiac arrhythmias (patients with atrial
fibrillation are eligible)
• Stroke (including transient ischemic attack [TIA], or other ischemic
event)
• Myocardial infarction
• Cardiomyopathy
• No significant gastrointestinal disorders particularly those associated with a
high risk of perforation or fistula formation including:
• Any of the following that have not resolved within 28 days before the first
dose of study treatment:
• Active peptic ulcer disease
• Acute diverticulitis, cholecystitis, symptomatic cholangitis or
appendicitis, or malabsorption syndrome
• None of the following within 2 years before the first dose of study
treatment:
• Abdominal fistula or genitourinary fistula
• Gastrointestinal perforation
• Bowel obstruction or gastric outlet obstruction
• Intra-abdominal abscess. Note: Complete resolution of an
intra-abdominal abscess must be confirmed prior to initiating treatment
with cabozantinib even if the abscess occurred more than 2 years before
the first dose of study treatment
• Disorders associated with a high risk of fistula formation including percutaneous
endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement are not eligible
• No other clinically significant disorders such as:
• Severe active infection requiring IV systemic treatment within 14 days
before the first dose of study treatment
• Serious non-healing wound/ulcer/bone fracture within 28 days before the
first dose of study treatment
• History of organ or allogeneic stem cell transplant
• Concurrent uncompensated hypothyroidism or thyroid dysfunction within 7 days
before the first dose of study treatment (for asymptomatic patients with an
elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH], thyroid replacement may be
initiated if clinically indicated without delaying the start of study
treatment)
• No history of major surgery as follows:
• Major surgery within 3 months of the first dose of cabozantinib; however, if
there were no wound healing complications, patients with rapidly growing
aggressive cancers, may start as soon as 6 weeks if wound has completely
healed post-surgery
• Minor surgery within 1 month of the first dose of cabozantinib if there were
no wound healing complications or within 3 months of the first dose of
cabozantinib if there were wound complications excluding core biopsies and
mediport placement
• Complete wound healing from prior surgery must be confirmed before the first
dose of cabozantinib irrespective of the time from surgery
• No history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to any monoclonal antibody
• No evidence of active malignancy, requiring systemic treatment within 2 years of
registration
• No history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or
biologic composition to cabozantinib, nivolumab, ipilimumab or other agents used in
study
• No positive test for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBV sAg) or hepatitis C virus
ribonucleic acid (HCV antibody) indicating acute or chronic infection. If HBV sAG is
positive, subsequent ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) must be
negative
• No patients with active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease that might
recur, which may affect vital organ function or require immune suppressive treatment
including systemic corticosteroids. These include, but are not limited to patients
with a history of immune related neurologic disease, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune
(demyelinating) neuropathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis; systemic
autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), connective tissue
diseases, scleroderma, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's, ulcerative colitis,
hepatitis; and patients with a history of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN),
Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or phospholipid syndrome should be excluded because of the
risk of recurrence or exacerbation of disease
