This study is planned as a single arm clinical trial of tazemetostat in combination with bendamustine and rituximab with both a phase I and phase II component. All patients will receive tazemetostat twice daily on days 1-28 in combination with bendamustine 90 mg/m2 IV on days 1 and 2 and rituximab 375 mg/m2 IV on day 1 of a 28-day cycle for up to three cycles. Following this, patients will receive tazemetostat twice daily on days 1-28 and rituximab 375 mg/m2 IV on day 1 of a 28-day cycle for up to three cycles. Read Less

The current study tests the feasibility and effectiveness of a youth intervention designed to provide meaningful leadership opportunities and to address barriers to equity, through the acquisition of civic leadership and development skills as well as mindfulness practice, LEAP: Leadership, Engagement, and youth Activism Program with Mindfulness. The goal of this project is to determine whether the Leadership, Engagement, and youth Activism Program with Mindfulness (LEAP) curriculum, which was developed with youth of color, is a feasible and effective intervention for fostering civic leadership, civic development, and wellbeing. The investigators seek to understand whether LEAP can support wellbeing for youth of color as a strategy to increase youth mental, emotional, and behavioral (MEB) health and decrease health disparities in youth of color.

This study plans to learn more about whether a stakeholder-informed, standardized inpatient vaccination program will increase influenza vaccination rates of hospitalized children across US pediatric health systems. The first part of the study is to form a multidisciplinary team of stakeholders, including parents, providers, nurses, pharmacists, informaticists, data analysts and communication experts across three sites in synthesizing a best practice implementation guide for an inpatient influenza vaccination program, which will then be piloted at these three sites.

This is a conventional efficacy trial to validate the results from previous clinical trials for younger children; the 12-month efficacy results will be used to predict the 3-year treatment efficacy. This is a randomized, controlled (1:1), multisite, subject- and observer-masked, 2-arm parallel group study. Read Less

This phase II trial tests whether mosunetuzumab and/or polatuzumab vedotin helps benefit patients who have received chemotherapy (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide) followed by chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy (tisagenlecleucel, axicabtagene ciloleucel, or lisocabtagene maraleucel) for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or grade IIIb follicular lymphoma. Mosunetuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Polatuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, called polatuzumab, linked to a drug called vedotin. Polatuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, and delivers vedotin to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and 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. CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving mosunetuzumab and/or polatuzumab vedotin after chemotherapy and CAR T-cell therapy may be more effective at controlling or shrinking the cancer than not giving them. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the necessity of using hemostatic agents as a tool when performing robotic partial nephrectomy in the treatment of kidney cancer. This project asks whether patients who undergo robotic partial nephrectomy without the surgeon using hemostatic agents during the procedure will have the same, fewer, or more complications than when patients undergo this same surgery with the surgeon using hemostatic agents during the procedure.

The current study assesses the tolerability and efficacy of combination therapy with PD-1 (nivolumab) and pan-RAF-kinase (Tovorafenib) inhibition for the treatment of children and young adults with craniopharyngioma. Read Less

The aim of this study is to assess the safety, side effects and effectiveness of EP0031 in patients with advanced RET-altered malignancies Read Less

This study will test if adding ruxolitinib to standard multi-drug chemotherapy regimen will be safe and tolerated in adolescents and young adults with newly diagnosed Ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Read Less

Women at risk for development of breast cancer and experiencing vasomotor menopausal symptoms (hot flashes) will be randomized to bazedoxifene (BZA) plus conjugated estrogens (CE) for 6 months versus a wait list control. Two risk factors for development of breast cancer will be studied pre-study and after 6 months: fibroglandular volume (FGV) on mammogram as assessed by Volpara software and proliferation by Ki-67 immunocytochemistry in benign breast tissue acquired by random periareolar fine needle aspiration (RPFNA). Change in biomarkers will be compared between groups. Read Less

This study is to evaluate the effect and safety of Brilaroxazine in patients with acute schizophrenia compared to the placebo short and long-term. Brilaroxazine will be given at fixed doses of 15 mg or 50 mg once daily over 4 weeks, then in the long-term flexible doses 15-50mg daily over a period of 52 weeks. Read Less
