Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone With or Without Daratumumab in Treating Patients With High-Risk Smoldering Myeloma

Smoldering Plasma Cell Myeloma

This phase III trial studies how well lenalidomide and dexamethasone works with or without daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, 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 daratumumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and dexamethasone with daratumumab may work better in treating patients with smoldering myeloma.

Study to Assess the Impact of the Urine Test Cxbladder Triage Plus on the Number of Cystoscopies Performed on Patients With Invisible Blood in Their Urine.

Hematuria - Cause Not Known

This study includes adult patients who see a urologist because of blood in their urine. The amount is so small it can only be seen with a microscope. This is called microhematuria. There can be many reasons for microhematuria. One of them is bladder cancer. While bladder cancer is one of the biggest worries, it is only found in few of these patients. Most microhematuria patients will have a cystoscopy to look inside the bladder. During a cystoscopy, a small camera is inserted into the bladder. This is done through the urethra, the tube that passes urine from the bladder to the outside. In some patients it can cause pain or anxiety. Not all patients have a cystoscopy. Those that don't, usually return for a urine sample within 6 months. This is done to check if there is still blood in their urine. This study is conducted to find out if the use of "Cxbladder Triage Plus" changes the number of cystoscopies in microhematuria patients. Cxbladder Triage Plus is also called "Triage Plus". It is a lab test that was developed to check how likely urothelial carcinoma is present in the bladder. Urothelial carcinoma is by far the most common type of bladder cancer. For the test, the patient voids some urine into a cup. A laboratory then checks the urine of specific genetic material. Abnormalities can be a sign of urothelial carcinoma. The result indicates if the urine is more like most normal urine or more like that of urothelial carcinoma patients. The study is done to find out how Triage Plus changes the number of cystoscopies. Study participants first void urine into a cup. The urine is used for the Triage Plus test. The patients are then assigned to one of two groups. The assignment is random. This means the nobody can influence the assignment. The chance to be assigned to either group is the same. In the test group, the urologist will receive the Triage Plus result and discuss it with the patient. Together they decide whether to do a cystoscopy. In the control group, the urologist will not receive the Triage Plus result. The patient will also not get the result. The urologist and patient will follow standard of care to decide whether to do a cystoscopy. For test group patients, the study gives a recommendation whether to proceed with cystoscopy. It is based on the patient's Triage Plus result. The urologist and patient do not need to follow the recommendation. If the urologist does not follow it, they will complete a survey. The survey has only one question. It is asking for the reasons of the decision. After making their decision, patients will follow the chosen pathway. Data on the performed procedures are collected. The diagnosis will also be documented. Data will be collected for up to about 9 months. To see how Triage Plus changes the number of cystoscopies, these will be counted in each group and then compared.

Immunotherapy in Combination With Prednisone and Sirolimus for Kidney Transplant Recipients With Unresectable or Metastatic Skin Cancer

Clinical Stage III Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8 ยท Clinical Stage III Cutaneous Merkel Cell Carcinoma AJCC v8 ยท Clinical Stage IV Cutaneous Melanoma AJCC v8

This phase II trial tests the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab with sirolimus and prednisone for the treatment of skin (cutaneous) cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic) in kidney transplant recipients. Immunotherapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Sirolimus and prednisone are immunosuppressants that are given to keep the body from rejecting the transplanted kidney. Giving nivolumab and ipilimumab in combination with sirolimus and prednisone may kill more cancer cells, while also keeping the transplanted kidney healthy, in patients with unresectable or metastatic cutaneous cancer who have received a kidney transplant.

Administration of Autologous T-Cells Genetically Engineered to Express T-Cell Receptors Reactive Against Neoantigens in People With Metastatic Cancer

Endocrine Tumors ยท Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ยท Ovarian Cancer

Background: A person s tumor is studied for mutations. When cells are found that can attack the mutation in a person s tumor, the genes from those cells are studied to find the parts that make the attack possible. White blood cells are then taken from the person s body, and the gene transfer occurs in a laboratory. A type of virus is used to transfer the genes that make those white blood cells able to attack the mutation in the tumor. The gene transfer therapy is the return of those white blood cells back to the person. Objective: To see if gene transfer therapy of white blood cells can shrink tumors. Eligibility: People with certain metastatic cancer for which standard treatments have not worked. Design: Participants may complete screening under another protocol. Screening includes: * Getting tumor cells from a previous procedure * Medical history * Physical exam * Scans * Blood, urine, heart, and lung tests The study has 8 stages: 1. Screening tests repeated over 1-2 weeks. Participants will have leukapheresis: Blood is removed by a needle in one arm. A machine removes white blood cells. The rest of the blood is returned by a needle in the other arm. 2. Care at home over approximately 12 weeks. 3. Stopping therapy for 4-6 weeks while their cells are changed in a lab. 4. Hospital stay approximately 3-4 weeks for treatment. An IV catheter will be placed in the chest to administer drugs. 5. Patients on Arm 2 of the study will receive the first dose of pembrolizumab while in the hospital. Three additional doses will be given after the cell infusion 3 weeks apart. 6. Receiving changed cells by catheter. Then getting a drug over 1-5 days to help the cells live longer. 7. Recover in the hospital for 1-2 weeks. Participants will get drugs and have blood and urine tests. 8. Participants will take an antibiotic and maybe an antiviral for at least 6 months after treatment. They will have repeat screening tests at visits every few months for the first year, every 6 months for the second year, then as determined.

A Study of Lower Radiotherapy Dose to Treat Children With CNS Germinoma

Basal Ganglia Germinoma ยท Diabetes Insipidus ยท Germinoma

This phase II trial studies how well lower dose radiotherapy after chemotherapy (Carboplatin \& Etoposide) works in treating children with central nervous system (CNS) germinomas. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Researchers want to see if lowering the dose of standard radiotherapy (RT) after chemotherapy can help get rid of CNS germinomas with fewer long-term side effects.

IDENTIFY Study: Natural History of Maternal Neoplasia

Maternal Neoplasia

Background: Pregnant women can get a DNA analysis of their blood. The test tells a woman and her doctor about the DNA of her unborn baby. But some women get test results that are abnormal or not reportable. Researchers want to learn more about the relationship between these test results and cancer. Objective: To better understand prenatal DNA test results and how they can predict cancer, if present, in pregnant women. Eligibility: Women 18 and older who got prenatal DNA test results that were abnormal or not reportable and suggested the abnormality was in the woman and not her baby. Design: Potential participants will be screened by phone or in person. They will talk about their medical history and send copies of their medical records. Eligible participants will have a physical exam and medical history. They will give blood and stool samples. They may have a Pap smear. They will talk to a specialist about the test results they got when they were pregnant. Participants will have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They will lie on a table that slides in and out of a metal tube, taking pictures. Participants will complete a paper or electronic survey. It will assess their emotional well-being. Participants will get a list of any possible diagnoses and treatment options. Participants may be followed for up to 5 years. They may give blood samples and copies of their medical records. This can be done without traveling to the NIH. In some cases, people might come back to the NIH in one year to see if anything has changed.

Role of Genetic Factors in the Development of Lung Disease

Cystic Fibrosis ยท Pulmonary Fibrosis ยท Tuberous Sclerosis

This study is designed to evaluate the genetics involved in the development of lung disease by surveying genes involved in the process of breathing and examining the genes in lung cells of patients with lung disease. The study will focus on defining the distribution of abnormal genes responsible for processes directly involved in different diseases affecting the lungs of patients and healthy volunteers. Optional CT Sub-study The standard CT scan will be compared to the low dose radiation CT scan for the 150 subjects enrolled in the sub-study to assess the variation between the two techniques. Specifically, the quantitative computer aided detection of lung CT abnormalities from LAM can be compared to assess whether low radiation dose CT exams is an alternative to conventional CT to monitor disease status. This optional sub-study will be offered to up to 100 adult subjects with lung disease and up to 50 children age 9 and older with CF. Children will not be enrolled in the optional CT sub-study unless they have had a standard CT scan for medical purposes to use in comparison. One additional low dose radiation CT scan of the chest may be done as part of this sub-study when these subjects have their next annual CT scan.

Men at High Genetic Risk for Prostate Cancer

Prostatic Neoplasms

Background: Research studies have shown that genetic changes and family history may increase a man s risk for prostate cancer. Researchers want to follow the prostate health of men who have specific genetic changes associated with prostate cancer to help them learn more about which men are at higher risk for prostate cancer. Objectives: To study men with specific genetic changes and determine who is at higher risk for getting prostate cancer. To study if certain genetic changes and family history can be used to help prevent or treat prostate cancer. Eligibility: Males between ages 30-75 who have one or more specific genetic changes but without prostate cancer. Design: * This study does not perform genetic testing. All participants must have documented genetic changes and able to provide a copy of the report. * Before enrollment, participants will provide a copy of documented genetic changes and go through a telephone interview to determine eligibility for the study. * On enrollment, participants will have medical and family history review, medication review, physical exam, blood collection for clinical and research testing, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the prostate. * Every year, participants will repeat the physical exam, medical history, family history, medication review, routine blood tests, including PSA and testosterone. * Every 2 years, participants will repeat all the above plus prostate MRI and blood tests for research. * If, at any time, the physical exam, blood tests or MRI are abnormal, participants may be asked to do a biopsy. * If the biopsy results in prostate cancer, participants will be given counseling on next steps, general treatment recommendations, and then followed with a phone call each year. * Participants may ask to speak with a genetic counselor.
