This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of PEOX-based polymer encapsulated paclitaxel FID-007 (FID-007) in treating participants with malignant neoplasms that have spread to other places in the body and do not respond to treatment. FID-007 is a packaged form of the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel, and uses a polyethylozaxoline (PEOX) polymer which may allow the drug to reach deeper into tumors and less into normal cells by being smaller.

The trial proposed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an inotuzumab ozogamicin followed by maintenance treatment in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia older than 56 years

This study will examine if the administration of prophylactic MucoLox formulation versus sodium bicarbonate mouthwash in subjects with head/neck cancer receiving radiation ± chemotherapy will result in significantly fewer subjects experiencing severe mucositis.

Previous studies have shown that elderly patients experience higher trough levels of tacrolimus and are more sensitive to the effects of medications, they experience higher occurrence and severity of such medication related toxicities. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that by transitioning patients from tacrolimus immediate release to Envarsus ®, the peak-dose effect will be eliminated or attenuated, leading to a significant decrease in neurocognitive toxicities in the older patient population.

This research is being done to find out if an investigational drug, Nivolumab, can be safely administered after a "half-matched" (haplo) bone marrow transplant (BMT), and if the investigational drug will help to prevent or delay relapse or progression of sarcomas. In this study investigators will also be trying to learn more about how the investigational drug changes blood and/or tumors. Participants are eligible for this trial if they have recently undergone a "half-matched" (haplo) bone marrow transplant and have either relapsed or are at high risk to relapse.

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and sunitinib malate work in treating participants with thymic cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery and does not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and sunitinib malate may work better in treating thymic cancer.

To conduct a superiority trial of COPES versus standard Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Chronic Pain (CBT-CP)

This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of total bone marrow and lymphoid irradiation and how well it works with cyclophosphamide in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Total marrow and lymphoid irradiation targets cancer in bone marrow and blood, instead of applying radiation to the whole body. Giving total bone marrow and lymphoid irradiation before a donor transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, 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. Giving total bone marrow and lymphoid irradiation before donor transplant and cyclophosphamide after transplant may work better at treating acute myeloid leukemia.

This is a Phase 2 study in which the efficacy of a non-myeloablative lymphodepleting preparative regimen followed by infusion of autologous TIL and high-dose aldesleukin in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma will be evaluated. Metastatic uveal melanoma (UM) carries a poor prognosis with estimated survival of 4-6 months. There are no known effective systemic therapies. Metastatic UM is classified as an "orphan" disease and there are currently few clinical trial options for these patients. Thus, novel systemic approaches are desperately needed. A recent pilot study has found that administration of autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) generated from resected metastases can induce objective tumor response and durable complete response in metastatic uveal melanoma patients. These encouraging results require confirmation to determine if this immunotherapy is of future benefit in treating this disease.

This trial is a randomized, open-label Phase I-2 multi-center study designed to evaluate the effect of Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab (in combination and maintenance) vs Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab-Rucaparib (Rucaparib only in maintenance) vs Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Rucaparib (Rucaparib only in maintenance) on progression-free survival in patients with advanced high grade ovarian cancer treated according to HRD status . The trial will test the hypothesis that Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab-Rucaparib and the Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Rucaparib arms will improve the progression-free survival in comparison to standard Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab in HRD negative (HR proficient) patients and that Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab-Rucaparib will improve PFS with respect to Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Rucaparib in HRD positive patients. The randomized phase of the study will be preceded by a single arm Phase I study which will be conducted only in the National Cancer Institute of Milan, aiming at evaluating the MTD of the combination Rucaparib-Bevacizumab. Once the MTD has been reached, the randomized study will start.
