AALL1821: A Study to Compare Blinatumomab Alone to Blinatumomab With Nivolumab in Patients Diagnosed With First Relapse B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)

This phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab compared to blinatumomab alone in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back (relapsed). Down syndrome patients with relapsed B-ALL are included in this study. Blinatumomab is an antibody, which is a protein that identifies and targets specific molecules in the body. Blinatumomab searches for and attaches itself to the cancer cell. Once attached, an immune response occurs which may kill the cancer cell. Nivolumab is a medicine that may boost a patient's immune system. Giving nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab may cause the cancer to stop growing for a period of time, and for some patients, it may lessen the symptoms, such as pain, that are caused by the cancer.

The Gut Microbiome in Recipients of CAR-T Cell Therapy

The purpose of this study is to understand how your gut plays a role in how well CAR T cell therapy works. Your gut is home to bacteria, which we call the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome can send signals to your immune cells, which may impact how well and how long CAR T cell therapy will last. We can find out what type of bacteria are in your gut microbiome by studying your stool. We can understand more about the signals sent to the immune system by studying your blood. We will ask for stool and blood at the same time points throughout your treatment. We will study the identities and function of the bacteria and immune cells to understand more about how these signals work during CAR T cell treatment.

ALTE22C1 (Post-AL Treatment, Patients with DS)

To compare the prevalence, severity, and timing of chronic health conditions (CHC) in a cohort of patients with DS-AL (Down Syndrome Acute Leukemia) with age-comparable DS individuals that have no cancer history. Our secondary objectives will compare NP (Neuro-Psychological) and health-related quality of life outcomes in survivors of DS-AL compared with age-comparable DS individuals with no cancer history, and will identify risk determinants of CHC and NP late effects among survivors of DS-AL.

Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Phase II Trial of Exercise to Treat Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)

Purpose:This is a two-arm preliminary efficacy RCT in 120 participants testing a 6-week home-based walking and progressive resistance exercise program (EXCAP©®) vs. standard care on CIPN, interoception, and inflammation. Participants: This study will enroll 120 participants receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy or have completed neurotoxic chemotherapy in the past nine months (i.e., taxane-, platinum-, vinca alkaloid-, epothilone-, or proteasome inhibitor-based chemotherapy). Procedures (methods): Participants will complete questionnaires, clinical assessments, and a blood draw at two time points: pre-intervention (week 0, T1) and post-intervention (approximately week 6, T2).

AML Patient and Caregiver Needs Assessment Study

No guidelines or interventions for patients and their family caregivers exist to support patient adherence to a new medication (venetoclax) and their quality of life. Our research team seeks to understand the real experience and care needs of patients and their family caregivers with the new AML treatment. With the information we learn from this study, we will be able to develop an effective support program for patients with AML and their family caregivers to manage their symptoms at home and improve their quality of life.

A STUDY OF SELINEXOR AND VENETOCLAX WITH CHEMOTHERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH REFRACTORY OR RELAPSED ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the two study drugs, venetoclax and selinexor, and to find the highest dose of venetoclax and selinexor that can be given safely when it is combined with chemotherapy drugs (cytarabine or cytarabine and fludarabine). This study tests different doses of venetoclax and selinexor to see which dose is safer in children with leukemia.

enCompass Carolina: A social support and coaching program for cancer caregivers

Cancer caregivers experience high levels of stress related to the caregiving role, particularly for rural caregivers. The purpose of this study is to assess the acceptability and preliminary effect of enCompass Carolina, a social support program for caregivers of rural-dwelling patients with cancer.

Pediatric Acute Leukemia (PedAL) Screening Trial - Developing New Therapies for Relapsed Leukemias

This study aims to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen for patient eligibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials. Testing bone marrow and blood from patients with leukemia that has come back after treatment or is difficult to treat may provide information about the patient's leukemia that is important when deciding how to best treat it, and may help doctors find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia in children, adolescents, and young adults.
