1. Inotuzumab Ozogamicin And Post-Induction Chemotherapy In Treating Patients With High-Risk B-ALL, Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia, And B-LLy

   Rochester, Minn.

   This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers calicheamicin to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, methotrexate, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, prednisone, thioguanine, vincristine, and pegaspargase 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. This trial will also study the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and disseminated B lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with high-risk ALL chemotherapy. The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first two phases of therapy: Induction and Consolidation. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, in order to classify patients into post-consolidation treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (interim maintenance I, delayed intensification, interim maintenance II, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. Other aims of this study include investigating whether treating both males and females with the same duration of chemotherapy maintains outcomes for males who have previously been treated for an additional year compared to girls, as well as to evaluate the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

2. A Study To Assess Adverse Events Of Intravenously (IV) Infused ABBV-383 In Adult Participants With Relapsed Or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine adverse events and change in disease symptoms of ABBV-383 in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. ABBV-383 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R Multiple Myeloma (MM). This study includes 2 parts; step-up dose optimization (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2). In Part 1, different level of step-up doses are tested followed by the target dose of ABBV-383. In Part 2, the step-up dose identified in Part 1 will be used followed by the target dose of ABBV-383. 

3. Leveraging AI/ML Algorithms On Digital Pathology And Ex-Vivo Confocal Microscopy Imaging For Extramammary Paget’s Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to validate the use of ex-vivo confocal microscopy for the assessment of skin specimens derived from Mohs surgery compared to standard microscopy. To leverage deep learning models for classification, detection, and localization of tumor for extramammary Paget’s disease on ex-vivo confocal microscopy images. To leverage AI/ML to ex-vivo confocal microscopy imaging to facilitate microscopic-level imaging of extramammary Paget’s disease. To leverage deep learning models for classification, detection, and localization of tumor for extramammary Paget’s disease on frozen and permanent pathology WSIs.

4. A Study Of Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate (Lutathera®) In Patients With Inoperable, Progressive Meningioma After External Beam Radiation Therapy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to estimate the efficacy of LUTATHERA treatment in patients with recurrent grade 1 meningioma as measured by 6-month PFS rate, and to estimate the efficacy of LUTATHERA treatment in patients with recurrent grade 2 or 3 meningioma as measured by 6-month PFS rate.

    

5. A Study To Develop A Biorepository Of Blood Samples From Cancer Patients Participating In The Gemini (IRB 19-006717) Protocol

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a biorepository of blood samples  from cancer patients participating in the Gemini (IRB 19-006717) protocol. These samples will be used for future biomarker discovery and other translational studies. 

6. A Study To Evaluate The Development Of Patient Derived Xenografts In Patients With Breast Cancer

   Rochester, Minn.

   Collection of tissue and blood from patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer. We hope to use these samples to find out why some patients still have cancer after they have completed neoadjuvant anticancer therapy.

7. Comparison Of In-Home Versus In-Clinic Administration Of Subcutaneous Nivolumab Through Cancer CARE (Connected Access And Remote Expertise) Beyond Walls (CCBW) Program

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   This phase II trial compares the impact of subcutaneous (SC) nivolumab given in an in-home setting to an in-clinic setting on cancer care and quality of life. Currently, most drug-related cancer care is conducted in clinic type centers or hospitals which may isolate patients from family, friends and familiar surroundings for many hours per day. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. Traveling to and from medical facilities costs time, money, and effort and can be a disadvantage to patients living in rural areas, those with low incomes or poor access to transport. Studies have shown that cancer patients often feel more comfortable and secure being cared for in their own home environments. SC nivolumab in-home treatment may be safe, tolerable and/or effective when compared to in-clinic treatment and may reduce the burden of cancer and improve the quality of life in cancer patients.

8. The Pediatric Acute Leukemia (PedAL) Screening Trial - A Study To Test Bone Marrow And Blood In Children With Leukemia That Has Come Back After Treatment Or Is Difficult To Treat - A Leukemia & Lymphoma Society And Children's Oncology Group Study

   Rochester, Minn.
