The study consists of two parts. Part 1 determines the safety and tolerability of BGB-11417 (sonrotoclax) monotherapy, the maximum tolerated dose, and the recommended Phase 2 dose of BGB-11417 monotherapy for relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Part 2 evaluates efficacy of BGB-11417 monotherapy at the recommended Phase 2 dose with recommended ramp-up schedule from Part 1. Read Less

The goal of this trial is to determine whether it is possible to minimize radiation dose to parts of the brain that are important for thinking and learning in children who require radiation to treat their tumor, and if this will help reduce neurocognitive (thinking and learning) impairments in these patients. Patients with newly diagnosed brain or head and neck tumors who are having radiation therapy will have neurocognitive testing and MRI imaging (both research and for regular care) done as part of their participation in the study. Survivors of childhood brain tumors who completed radiation therapy at least two years before joining the study, and have not had a recurrence, will have neurocognitive testing and research MRIs completed. Healthy children will also be enrolled and have research MRIs done. The researchers will use the radiation plan to determine how much radiation was delivered to different parts of the brain. The investigators will use the MRIs to determine how the normal brain is changing after treatment; and how this compares to patients who had standard radiation treatment or who never had a brain tumor. The neurocognitive testing will be compared among different groups to see how different treatment plans affect performance on neurocognitive tests. Read Less

In this study patients will be treated with 6 weeks of radiation therapy plus temozolomide chemotherapy according to the standard of care. However, the radiation treatment plan will be modified to deliver an higher than routine radiation dose to the subventricular zone which is an area of the brain that contains stem cells that some scientists believe may contribute to glioblastoma recurrence. The purpose of the study is to see if the tumor is controlled for a longer period of time in patients treated with this modified radiation technique than it is in patients treated with standard radiation therapy plus temozolomide chemotherapy.

This is a single arm, phase I study, evaluating the feasibility, toxicity, and degree of tumor response after novel proton pencil beam scanning (PBS GRID) treatment in patients with bulky tumors that are difficult to manage. Read Less

This is a trial that evaluates the preservation of cognition and neuropsychiatric function following genu-sparing whole brain radiation in patients with brain metastases. Read Less

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 tumor 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. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 72 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and 180 mg/kg Alpha-1 15%, administered as a single-dose subcutaneous (SC) infusion and subsequently as weekly SC infusions over 8 weeks in participants with Alpha1-Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD).

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of tazemetostat in combination with topotecan and pembrolizumab in treating patients with small cell lung cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Tazemetostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as topotecan, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving tazemetostat in combination with topotecan and pembrolizumab may shrink or stabilize recurrent small cell lung cancer. Read Less

Background: Approximately 150 cases of cancer per one million per year are considered rare cancers. While all tumors originate from genetic changes, a small percentage of these tumors are familial. Researchers want to study these changes in biological samples from people with rare tumors in order to learn more about how these tumors develop. The information obtained from this study may lead to improved screening, preventive guidelines, and treatments. Objective: To better understand rare cancers and hereditary cancer syndromes. Eligibility: People who have a rare tumor, a family history of a rare tumor, a hereditary cancer syndrome, or a mutation that leads to rare tumors. Design: Participants will be screened with questions about their medical history and/or that of their family members. They will give a saliva sample. Participants who have a tumor will have their medical records and tests reviewed. They will answer questions about their wellbeing and needs. They may provide a tumor tissue sample. Participants may also have: Physical exam Clinical photography Blood, urine, saliva, and stool samples taken Consultation with specialists A scan that produces a picture of the body. Either one that uses a small amount of radiation, or one that uses a magnetic field. Genetic testing/genetic counseling. Participants will be contacted once a year. They will answer updated questions about their medical and family history. Participants will be asked to contact the study team if there are changes in their tumors. Participants may be invited to join focus groups for people with the same diagnosis of rare tumors. Participants may be invited to participate in other NIH protocols. **************************************** **************************************** RARE TUMOR LIST: Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas Adamantinoma Adenosqaumous carcinoma of the pancreas Adrenocortical carcinoma Alveolar soft part sarcoma Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Angiosarcoma Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor/MRT Carcinoid Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Chondrosarcoma Chondromyxoid fibroma Chordoma Clear cell renal carcinoma Clear Cell Sarcoma Clear cell sarcoma of kidney Conventional chordoma Dedifferentiated chordoma Desmoid Desmoplastic small round cell tumor Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma Esthenioneuroblastoma Ewing Sarcoma Fibrolamellar carcinoma Fusion negative rhabdomyosarcoma Fusion positive renal cell carcinoma Fusion positive rhabdomyosarcoma Gastro-enteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor Hepatoblastoma Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma Malignant ectomesenchymal tumor Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor Malignant triton tumor Medullary thyroid cancer Mixed acinar adenocarcinoma Mixed acinar neuroendocrine carcinoma Myxoid Liposarcoma Neuroblastoma Neuroendocrine tumors NUT midline carcinoma Osteosarcoma Pancreas ductal adenocarcinoma with squamous features Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma Papillary renal cell carcinoma Paraganglioma Parosteal Osteosarcoma Periosteal Osteosarcoma Peripheral nerve sheath tumor Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor Pheochromocytoma Pituitary cancer Poorly differentiated chordoma Renal medullary carcinoma Rhabdomyosarcoma Round cell Liposarcoma Schwannoma Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma SDH deficient GIST SMARCB1 deficient tumors SMARCA4 deficient tumors Synovial sarcoma Undifferentiated Sarcoma **************************************** **************************************** Read Less

This phase II trial tests whether atezolizumab alone or in combination with selinexor works to shrink tumors in patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma and whether the study drugs are better than the usual approach in treating this type of cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for alveolar soft part sarcoma if they are not part of a clinical study, which includes treatment with radiation, kinase inhibitor drugs, immunotherapy drugs, or chemotherapy drugs. 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. Selinexor is in a class of medications called selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE). It works by blocking a protein called CRM1, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Giving atezolizumab alone or in combination with selinexor may help shrink tumors and stabilize the cancer in patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma. Read Less

This is an open label, phase I dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety of coronavirus-specific T cell (CST) therapy for prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection in immunocompromised patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Participants will receive donor-derived CSTs for prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection after HSCT (≥28 days and <4 months after HSCT). In this dose escalation trial, three doses (1x107/m2, 2x107/m2, and 4x107/m2) will be tested for safety, with study arms for adult (≥18 years of age and <80 years) HSCT recipients (Arm A) and pediatric (≥12 years of age and <18 years) HSCT recipients (Arm B), and defined dose escalations in each study arm. The study agent will be assessed for safety (stopping rules defined) and antiviral activity. Read Less
