DExterous Hand Control Through Fascicular Targeting (DEFT) - (Human Subjects)
Our goal is to temporarily implant the following groups for 180 +/- 30 days:
1. Five human partial hand amputees (amputated at the level of the hand) with 2 FAST-LIFE
electrodes, one inserted into the motor fascicle of the ulnar nerve and the other into
the sensory fascicle.
2. Five human hand and forearm amputees (amputated at the level of the forearm) with 2
FAST-LIFE electrodes in the ulnar nerve (one in the motor fascicle, one in the sensory
fascicle) and 2-5 FAST-LIFE electrodes in the median nerve (one in the motor fascicle,
one to four in the remaining sensory fascicles).
Criteria for Inclusion of Subjects:
Hand and forearm amputees:
1. Male or female, age 18 and older, of any race or ethnicity
2. Able and willing to sign Consent
3. Able and willing to participate in all study activities including implantation,
testing and explantation of the study device.
4. Able to communicate effectively in English without an interpreter
After preliminary screening subjects will be assessed for the following inclusion criteria:
1. Patient has an existing myoelectric hand prosthesis and demonstrates proficiency
during daily use
2. Overall and phantom pain are well-controlled and not incapacitating
Criteria for Exclusion of Subjects:
1. If MR neurogram and EMG/NCS study show nerve or muscle dysfunction/injury at a higher
level than anticipated based on the appearance of the physical amputation stump, the
subject may be excluded from the study due to adverse neuromuscular anatomy which
would preclude use of the proposed experimental electrode implants. The radiographs
will be used to confirm suitability of the amputation stump configuration. If the bony
anatomy of the amputation stump is found to be unsuitable, the patient may be excluded
from the study.
2. Subjects who have a history of cardiac arrhythmia will be excluded from the study.

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.

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

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.

The iCat2, GAIN (Genomic Assessment Informs Novel Therapy) Consortium Study
This research study is evaluating the use of specialized testing of solid tumors including
sequencing. The process of performing these specialized tests is called tumor profiling. The
tumor profiling may result in identifying changes in genes of the tumor that indicate that a
particular therapy may have activity. This is called an individualized cancer therapy (iCat)
recommendation. The results of the tumor profiling and, if applicable, the iCat
recommendation will be returned.

Immunotherapy With Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Followed by Nivolumab or Nivolumab With Cabozantinib for Patients With Advanced Kidney Cancer, The PDIGREE Study
This phase III trial compares the usual treatment (treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab
followed by nivolumab alone) to treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab, followed by
nivolumab with cabozantinib in patients with untreated renal cell carcinoma that has spread
to other parts of the body. The addition of cabozantinib to the usual treatment may make it
work better. 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. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of
the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known how well the combination of
cabozantinib and nivolumab after initial treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab works in
treating patients with renal cell cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

Thoracotomy Versus Thoracoscopic Management of Pulmonary Metastases in Patients With Osteosarcoma
This phase III trial compares the effect of open thoracic surgery (thoracotomy) to
thoracoscopic surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or VATS) in treating patients
with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung (pulmonary metastases). Open thoracic surgery
is a type of surgery done through a single larger incision (like a large cut) that goes
between the ribs, opens up the chest, and removes the cancer. Thoracoscopy is a type of chest
surgery where the doctor makes several small incisions and uses a small camera to help with
removing the cancer. This trial is being done evaluate the two different surgery methods for
patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung to find out which is better.
• Patients must be < 50 years at the time of enrollment.
• Patient must have eligibility confirmed by rapid central imaging review.
• Patients must have =< 4 nodules per lung consistent with or suspicious for
metastases, with at least one of which being >= 3 mm and all of which must be =<
3 cm size.
• Lung nodules must be considered resectable by either open thoracotomy or thoracoscopic
surgery. Determination of resectability is made by the institutional surgeon.
• Patients must have a histological diagnosis of osteosarcoma.
• Patients must have evidence of metastatic lung disease at the time of initial
diagnosis, or at time of 1st recurrence following completion of therapy for initially
localized disease.
• Patients with newly diagnosed disease must have completed successful gross tumor
resection for their primary tumor or surgical local control of primary tumor must be
planned to be performed simultaneously with thoracic surgery.
• Newly diagnosed patients must be receiving systemic therapy considered by the treating
physician as at least equivalent to methotrexate, doxorubicin and cisplatin (MAP) at
the time of enrollment on this study.
• Patients at time of 1st recurrence must have previously completed initial systemic
therapy for their primary tumor, considered by the treating physician as at least
equivalent to MAP.
Exclusion Criteria:
• Patients with unresectable primary tumor.
• Patients with pulmonary metastatic lesions that would require anatomic resection

segmental bronchi).
• Patients with pleural or mediastinal based metastatic lesions, or with pleural
effusion.
• Patients with disease progression at either the primary or pulmonary metastatic site
while on initial therapy. Note: Once the patient has been enrolled on the study,
additional computed tomography (CT) scans are not anticipated prior to thoracic
surgery. Note: Some variation in nodule size measurements over the course of
pre-operative therapy is anticipated and does not qualify for exclusion unless deemed
true disease progression by the primary treatment team.
• Patients with evidence of extrapulmonary metastatic disease.
• Patients who received pulmonary surgery for lung metastasis prior to enrollment.
• All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed

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.
1. 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

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;
4. A diagnosis of myocarditis.
5. Hospitalized at the time of randomization;

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;

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) 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
1. Biopsy-proven non-hematopoietic malignancy, except for small cell lung cancer, germ
cell cancer, or unknown primary tumor.
2. 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)
3. All brain metastases must be outside the brain stem (midbrain, pons and medulla).
4. Patient must have 10 or less brain metastases.
5. The maximum diameter of any lesion must be less than or equal to 3.0 cm.
6. 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
7. Age ≥ 18 years.
8. ECOG Performance Score of 2 or better/Karnofsky Performance Status score of 50-60 or
better.
9. 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).
Medically acceptable birth control (contraceptives) includes:
• Approved hormonal contraceptives (such as birth control pills, patch, or ring:
Depo-Provera, Implanon), or
• Barrier methods (such as a condom or diaphragm) used with a spermicide (a
substance that kills sperm)
10. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
1. Patients had craniotomy and surgery to the brain within 7 days from the date of SRS.
2. 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.
3. Patients with a contraindication to both MRI (with or without contrast) and CT scan
(with contrast)
4. Patients with life expectancy < 3 months.
5. 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.
6. 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 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. Dactinomycin is a type of antibiotic that is
only used in cancer chemotherapy. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called
alkylating agents. Vinorelbine, vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide are
chemotherapy medications that work by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the
body. This trial may have the potential to eliminate rhabdomyosarcoma for a long time or for
the rest of patient's life.
• Patients must be =< 50 years of age at the time of enrollment
• Patients with newly diagnosed RMS of any subtype, except adult-type pleomorphic, based
upon institutional histopathologic classification are eligible to enroll on the study

those classified in the 1995 International Classification of Rhabdomyosarcoma (ICR) as
ERMS (classic, spindle cell, and botryoid variants), which are reclassified in the
2020 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification as ERMS (classic, dense and
botryoid variants) and spindle cell/sclerosing RMS (encompassing the historical

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.
• ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR ENROLLMENT ONTO APEC1621SC: Patients must be >= 12 months and
=< 21 years of age at the time of study enrollment

sarcoma), and central nervous system (CNS) tumors are eligible; patients must have had
histologic verification of malignancy at original diagnosis or relapse except in
patients with intrinsic brain stem tumors, optic pathway gliomas, or patients with
pineal tumors and elevations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or serum tumor markers
