The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn how the experimental medicine maplirpacept (PF-07901801) affects people with various types of blood cancers: * relapsed or refractory (R/R) lymphoma * multiple myeloma * newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This trial will be conducted in the outpatient setting in 2 parts, phase 1a and phase 1b. You may only participate in one part of the study. During phase 1a of this study, we will explore how much maplirpacept (PF-07901801), when used by itself, can be safely used. If you have lymphoma, the study medicine maplirpacept (PF-07901801) will be given by infusion through a vein once a week or once every 2 weeks or every 3 weeks as determined by your doctor. Following your first dose, you will be expected to come back twice more the first week. From week 2, you will have weekly visits for blood tests, questions about your medications, any side effects, or illnesses you may have experienced and your cancer response. After you have completed 21 days (for every week dosing) or 42 days (for every 2- or 3-weeks dosing), your doctor will discuss whether you should stop study treatment or continue. If you continue, you will be expected to come back weekly for blood tests, vital signs, a brief physical exam, asked about any side effects or illnesses you may have experienced and medications you may be taking. The dosing schedule you are assigned to will continue until your disease has worsened, significant side effects occur or other reasons that lead you and your doctor to decide treatment may be stopped. To be eligible for the first part of the study you must be 18 years or older, your disease has worsened after receiving other medicines approved for blood cancer, no other treatment options exist for you, a sample of your tissue for exploratory research which can be taken from tissue already obtained or if necessary, a new sample of your tissue will be taken so your disease may be seen and measured on routine tests/scans. If you have had radiation therapy or received any anticancer medication within 14 days before the planned start of study treatment your doctor will let you know if you are eligible to participate in the study. If you have had major surgery within 30 days before the planned start of study treatment you may not be eligible to participate. The phase 1a part of the study may last up to 51/2 years. How long you participate in this study depends on side effects you may have to the study drug. It also depends on how your cancer responds to the study drug. Therefore, you may remain in the study as long as you and your study doctor think you may benefit. However, you are free to stop taking part in this study at any time and for any reason. During phase 1b part of this study, we will explore how much maplirpacept (PF-07901801), when used with other anticancer medicine(s), can be safe and reduce cancer growth. In the phase 1b part of this study, you will receive maplirpacept (PF-07901801) and other anticancer medicine(s). Which medicine combination you will receive depends on the types of cancer under treatment. Your treatment experiences will be examined to determine if maplirpacept (PF-07901801) when given with other anticancer medicine(s), is safe and can reduce cancer growth. To be eligible for the second part of the study you may have newly diagnosed Acute Myelocytic Leukemia with or without a genetic mutation or you have Multiple Myeloma or Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, and your disease has worsened. The Phase 1b part of this study may last as long as you and your study doctor think you may benefit which could be up to approximately 31/2 years. How long you participate in this study depends on side effects you may have to the study drug. It also depends on how your cancer responds to the study drug. Therefore, you may remain in the study as long as you and your study doctor think you may benefit. However, you are free to stop taking part in this study at any time and for any reason. Read Less

The goal of this study is determine if an oral systemic course of steroids is a safe and effective option in lowering pain and complications following adenotonsillectomy in various pediatric age groups. A double blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial of steroids (dexamethasone) versus placebo postoperatively will be performed. Investigators will determine if there is a difference in post-operative pain and complications between groups. Read Less

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of idasanutlin and ixazomib citrate when given together with dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned after a period of improvement. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idasanutlin and dexamethasone, 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. Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving idasanutlin, ixazomib citrate, and dexamethasone together may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of oral cemsidomide (also known as CFT7455) administered at different dosages in subjects with Relapsed/Refractory (r/r) Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) or Multiple Myeloma (MM). Cemsidomide may be administered as a single agent and, in MM only, in combination with oral dexamethasone. Read Less

Effective and safe control of pain after shoulder surgery is an important component of the post-surgical process. Patients who are comfortable in the early period after surgery are more satisfied with their experience and are better able to participate in rehabilitation exercises during their stay in the hospital. As surgeons and health care systems in the United States find themselves in the middle of an opioid epidemic, it is necessary to discover different options to provide patients pain relief that are both effective and safe in an effort to decrease the amount of pain medication used.

The investigator's study aims to see if an enhanced recovery regimen of pain medications before and during surgery will decrease the use and risk of opioid pain medications as well as improve pain control in anterior urethroplasty patients. Participants will be randomized to one of two pain regimens (enhanced recovery regimen vs standard regimen). Read Less

This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ruxolitinib phosphate and how well it works compared to dasatinib when given with chemotherapy in treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). Ruxolitinib phosphate and dasatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. It is not yet known whether giving ruxolitinib phosphate or dasatinib with chemotherapy works better in treating patients with previously treated acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Read Less

This study is designed to define dose-limiting toxicity and determine preliminary evidence of efficacy of carfilzomib (CFZ) in combination with bendamustine and dexamethasone for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Read Less

This study is to assess the efficacy of intra-operative intravenous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (Ketorolac) versus intravenous (dexamethasone) administration on dysphagia and dysphonia after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Read Less

This randomized phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide alone compared to lenalidomide, ixazomib citrate, and dexamethasone work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that remains (residual) after donor stem cell transplant. Lenalidomide may help the immune system kill abnormal blood cells or cancer cells and may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that are needed for cancer growth. Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by interfering with proteins necessary for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, 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. It is not yet known whether lenalidomide is more effective with or without ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone in treating residual multiple myeloma. Read Less
