Testing the Combination of Two Anticancer Drugs M1774 (Tuvusertib) and Avelumab to Evaluate Their Safety and Effectiveness in Treating Merkel Cell Skin Cancer, MATRiX Trial
This phase II trial compares tuvusertib in combination with avelumab to tuvusertib alone to determine whether the combination therapy will lengthen the time before the cancer starts getting worse in patients with Merkel cell cancer that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Tuvusertib is a drug that inhibits an enzyme called ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3 related (ATR) kinase, which is an enzyme that plays a role in repair of damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as well as tumor cell replication and survival. It may lead to tumor cell death by inhibiting ATR kinase activity. 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. Giving tuvusertib in combination with avelumab may lengthen the time before Merkel cell cancer starts getting worse compared to giving avelumab alone.

A Study With Tovorafenib (DAY101) as a Treatment Option for Progressive, Relapsed, or Refractory Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and activity of tovorafenib (DAY101) in treating patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), has come back (relapsed) after previous treatment, or does not respond to therapy (refractory). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of disease that occurs when the body makes too many immature Langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell). When these cells build up, they can form tumors in certain tissues and organs including bones, skin, lungs and pituitary gland and can damage them. This tumor is more common in children and young adults. DAY101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Using DAY101 may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

A Trial to See if the Combination of Fianlimab With Cemiplimab Works Better Than Pembrolizumab for Preventing or Delaying Melanoma From Coming Back After it Has Been Removed With Surgery
This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN3767, also known as fianlimab (R3767), when combined with another medication called cemiplimab (each individually called a "study drug" or called "study drugs" when combined) compared with an approved medication called pembrolizumab.
The objective of this study is to see if the combination of fianlimab and cemiplimab is an effective treatment compared to pembrolizumab in patients that have had melanoma removal surgery but are still at high risk for the recurrence of the disease. Pembrolizumab is an approved treatment in some countries in this clinical setting.
The study is looking at several other research questions, including:
* What side effects may happen from receiving the study drugs.
* How much study drug is in the blood at different times.
* Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects). Antibodies are proteins that are naturally found in the blood stream that fight infections.
* How administering the study drugs might improve quality of life.
• All patients must be either stage IIB, IIC, III, or stage IV per American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition and have histologically confirmed melanoma that is completely surgically resected in order to be eligible as defined by the protocol
• Complete surgical resection must be performed within 12 weeks prior to randomization, and enrollment may occur only after satisfactory wound healing from the surgery
• All patients must have disease-free status documented by a complete physical examination and imaging studies within 4 weeks prior to randomization, as described in the protocol

Pediatric Radiation Oncology With Movie Induced Sedation Effect (PROMISE)
PROMISE (Pediatric Radiation Oncology with Movie Induced Sedation Effect) is an interactive incentive-based movie system that integrates with a video surveillance gating module (VisionRT) as an alternative sedation solution for pediatric patients undergoing radiation treatment (RT). This single-arm, open label, single-center phase II clinical trial is to implement PROMISE for all children ages 3-11 who are planned to undergo RT at the institution. The primary goal is to decrease the total number of pediatric patients who require general anesthesia through the use of PROMISE, with secondary goals being to assess the impact that PROMISE has on patient/family anxiety and quality of life, treatment time and clinical efficiency, and overall cost. The investigators hypothesize that PROMISE will lead to a reduction in the percentage of patients ages 3-7 who require general anesthesia use from 70% (historical control) to 30%.
• Planned to undergo radiation treatment
• Age 3-11 years
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 at screening

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.
* Participants must have histologically-confirmed (local site pathological confirmation sufficient) extrapulmonary poorly differentiated, neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC)

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.

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.

Morphea in Adults and Children (MAC) Cohort Study: A Morphea Registry and DNA Repository (MAC)
The Morphea in Adults and Children (MAC) cohort is the first registry for both children and
adults with morphea (also known as localized scleroderma) in the country. The purpose of the
registry is to learn more about morphea, specifically:
- How morphea behaves over time
- How frequently specific problems occur along with morphea (for example, arthritis)
- Whether morphea has an autoimmune background
• Patient must have a clinical diagnosis of morphea confirmed by the primary
investigator and by histopathological examination.
• Ages 0-90 years old
• Children must weigh more than 20 lbs. in order to satisfy Children's Medical Center
policy for the maximum amount of blood drawn in a 24 hour period.
• Patient or legal guardian must be able to speak and read at a 6th grade reading level.
• Both male and female patients will be eligible
• All races and ethnic backgrounds will be included
• Relationships to proband: All patients with morphea will be included. A patient's
family history will be reviewed and if there is a family history of morphea or
systemic sclerosis then we will give the study patient the investigator's contact
information and ask the family member to call the study team to answer any questions
and enroll them in the study if they choose to do so.
• Ability to give informed consent: Patients must be able to give informed consent or
they will give assent with parent or guardian consent as a minor to be a part of the
morphea registry.
Exclusion Criteria:
• Patients who have been coded as morphea (701.0), but do not have morphea/localized
scleroderma (examples: steroid atrophy, acquired keratoderma, keloids, nephrogenic
fibrosing dermopathy, systemic sclerosis, lichen sclerosis)

Approximately 1.4 million individuals in the United States have systemic lupus erythematosus, and about 85% of these individuals develop skin lesions at some point of their disease. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus represents the skin manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, and can appear in people with or without systemic lupus. It is a mentally, physically, and emotionally debilitating disease that affects both the quality of life and social well-being of those affected.
The cause of cutaneous lupus is not completely understood, but likely includes multiple factors from our genes and the environment. Multiple genetic studies with small numbers of cutaneous lupus patients have been performed to determine which genes are associated with cutaneous lupus. This study aims to accumulate even larger numbers of patients to confidently identify genes and the proteins they encode that could contribute greatly to the formation of cutaneous lupus. The discovery of these genes and proteins would help not only uncover how cutaneous lupus forms, but also improve our abilities to diagnose this disease and predict its course, and stimulate new drug development.
* Diagnosed with cutaneous lupus erythematosus and/or systemic lupus erythematosus by clinical, laboratory, and histopathological findings
* Ability to speak and read English or Spanish at a 6th grade reading level (a translator will be available with additional consent forms in Spanish)
* Ability to give written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
* Less than 18 years of age, since the characteristics of the disease in these subjects could be very different
* Due to a medication, in which its discontinuation results in the resolution of cutaneous lupus, since the characteristics of the disease in these subjects could be very different
* Medical conditions who do not warrant a skin biopsy
* Unable to give written, informed consent or undergo a skin biopsy and/or venipuncture for any other reason
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).
Part 1 will find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD), confirm
the dose, and find the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for pembrolizumab therapy. Part 2 will
further evaluate the safety and efficacy at the pediatric RP2D.

to children with either advanced melanoma; a PD-L1 positive advanced, relapsed or refractory
solid tumor or other lymphoma; advanced, relapsed or refractory MSI-H solid tumor; or rrcHL,
will result in an Objective Response Rate (ORR) greater than 10% for at least one of these
types of cancer.

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;

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.

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.

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.
