Molecular and ctDNA Characterization of High-Risk Endometrial Cancer

This study seeks to better understand the recurrence of high-risk endometrial cancer. It will collect information about cancer genetics to find out various hereditary or cancer specific genetic variants that may have a role in diagnosis or management and prognosis of cancer. It also seeks to develop a genetic results and medical record databank for future studies.

A Beta-only IL-2 ImmunoTherapY Study

This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and expansion study to evaluate safety and tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamic, and early signal of anti-tumor activity of MDNA11 alone or in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Patients With Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors, Lymphomas, or Multiple Myeloma (The MATCH Screening Trial)

This phase II MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment (refractory). Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.

Two Part (Phase1b/ Phase3) Trial of Subcutaneous Dostarlimab Plus Carboplatin-Paclitaxel in Participants With Primary Advanced or Recurrent Endometrial Cancer

This is an open-label study, meaning both the researchers and participants will know which treatment is being given. The study has two parts. In Part 1, researchers will identify the most suitable SC dose. In Part 2, participants will be randomly assigned by chance to receive dostarlimab as either an SC injection or an IV infusion. All participants will also receive carboplatin and paclitaxel. Treatment may continue for up to 3 years, with participants closely monitored throughout the study.

Pembrolizumab, Lenvatinib and IL-15 Superagonist N-803 in Combination With HER2 Targeting Autologous Dendritic Cell (AdHER2DC) Vaccine in Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Endometrial Cancer

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) of the uterus is becoming more common in the US. Sometimes EC often has increased levels of a protein called HER2. Cancers with HER2 tend to be more aggressive and have poorer outcomes. Objective: To test 2 study drugs-a vaccine that targets HER2 (AdHER2DC) plus a drug that supercharges immune cells that kill tumor cells (N-803)-combined with 2 FDA-approved cancer treatment drugs in people with EC. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with HER2-positive EC that returned or got worse after treatment. Design: AdHER2DC vaccine is made from each participant s own blood. Participants will undergo apheresis: Blood is removed from the body through a tube attached to a needle. The blood passes through a machine that separates out the target cells. The remaining blood is returned to the body through a second needle. A special catheter may be needed. The first treatment cycle is 28 days; each cycle after that will be 21 days. All participants will get the 2 approved drugs and the vaccine. One drug is a tablet taken by mouth once a day, every day. The other drug is given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. The vaccine is injected under the skin. Participants will receive the vaccine on day 1 of cycles 1, 2, and 3. Additional doses up to 3 doses will be give if possible. Some participants will receive N-803. This drug is injected under the skin of the abdomen on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment may last up to 1 year. Follow-up visits will continue up to 2 more years.

A Blended e-Health Intervention to Improve Fear of Progression in Women With Gynecologic or Breast Cancer

This clinical trial studies whether an intervention supported by technology (blended e-health intervention) works to improve fear of progression (FOP) in women with gynecologic or breast cancer. FOP is the fear patients experience from the possibility that their cancer could grow, spread, or get worse. Managing FOP is a leading unmet concern of cancer patients. High levels of FOP are associated with distress, depression, and increased health care costs, despite this, access to resources to address FOP remain limited. The blended e-health intervention in this trial offers remote group sessions along with online sessions to help patients access the information. Session content incorporates values-based goal setting and skills practices to manage unhelpful beliefs about worry and promote helpful coping behaviors. The sessions may help patients recognize unhelpful thoughts and behaviors which reinforce worry. A blended e-health intervention may be an effective way to improve FOP in women with gynecologic or breast cancer.

Phase I-II, FIH, TROP2 ADC, Advanced Unresectable/Metastatic Solid Tumors, Refractory to Standard Therapies (KL264-01)

A Phase I-II, First-in-Human Study of SKB264 (Sac-TMT; MK-2870) in Patients with Locally Advanced Unresectable/Metastatic Solid Tumors who are refractory to Available Standard Therapies. Patient must have historically documented, incurable, locally advanced or metastatic cancer that are refractory to standard therapies of one of the following types: 1. Triple negative breast cancer 2. Epithelial ovarian cancer 3. Non-small cell lung cancer 4. Gastric adenocarcinoma/Gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma 5. Small cell lung cancer 6. HR+/ HER2-breast cancer 7. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma 8. Endometrial carcinoma 9. Urothelial carcinoma 10. Cervical cancer

FOG-001 in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if FOG-001 is safe and effective in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors or in participants with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).

Infertility Survey Among Reproductive Age Women With Gynecological and Breast Cancer

This study develops infertility survey among reproductive age women with gynecological and breast cancer. This study aims to learn how women consider whether or not to try to have a baby after surviving cancer. The advice gathered from this survey may be shared with patients and survivors in the future, so that they have information to inform their decisions about cancer treatment and family planning.

Testing the Addition of Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo to the Usual Chemotherapy for HER2 Positive Endometrial Serous Carcinoma or Carcinosarcoma

This phase III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin Hylecta \[TM\]) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (Phesgo \[TM\]) to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2 positive endometrial cancer. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep pertuzumab and trastuzumab in the body longer, so that these medications will have a greater effect. Hyaluronidase also allows trastuzumab and trastuzumab/pertuzumab to be given by injection under the skin and shortens their administration time compared to trastuzumab or pertuzumab alone. Paclitaxel is a taxane and in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. 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. Giving Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may shrink the tumor and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with HER2 positive endometrial cancer.

The Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise Beyond Walls Program to Provide In-Home Cancer Treatment and Improve Treatment Satisfaction in Cancer Patients Living in the Florida Panhandle and Surrounding Areas

This phase II trial studies whether providing cancer treatment in the home is preferred over the traditional clinic setting and if it improves treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas. Typically, drug-related cancer care is provided at a medical center which causes patients to have to spend considerable time away from their family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This may add to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families during this difficult time in their lives. The Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise (CARE) Beyond Walls (CCBW) program uses a specialized care team trained to provide cancer treatment in the patient's home setting. It is designed to support remote connection between the home health team and providers and Mayo clinic. This may be preferred over the traditional clinic setting which may improve treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas.

ORACLE: Observation of ResiduAl Cancer With Liquid Biopsy Evaluation

The purpose of ORACLE is to demonstrate the ability of a novel ctDNA assay developed by Guardant Health to detect recurrence in individuals treated for early-stage solid tumors. It is necessary that ctDNA test results are linked to clinical outcomes in order to demonstrate clinical validity for recurrence detection and explore its value in a healthcare environment subject to cost containment.

Longitudinal Evaluation of Women Undergoing Pelvic Surgery for the Treatment of Gynecologic Cancer

The study investigates whether certain characteristics of gynecological cancer can help researchers predict how well a patient recovers from surgery to remove the lower colon, rectum, and bladder, and create openings through which urine and stool are passed out of the body (pelvic exenteration). Comparing the types of surgery completed and procedures used may help researchers to determine which are most effective and safe in patients with a history of gynecologic cancer.

Veliparib, Paclitaxel, and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Solid Tumors That Are Metastatic or Cannot Be Removed by Surgery and Liver or Kidney Dysfunction

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery and liver or kidney dysfunction. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, 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. Giving veliparib together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.

Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Cervical or Endometrial Cancer

This clinical trial studies the feasibility of using hypo-fractionated radiotherapy for the treatment of cervical or endometrial cancer. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects.

FT836 With or Without Chemotherapy and/or Monoclonal Antibodies, in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a Phase 1 study of FT836 administered in participants with advanced solid tumors. The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of FT836 with or without chemotherapy and/or trastuzumab or cetuximab, and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of FT836 with or without chemotherapy and/or trastuzumab or cetuximab

Concurrent Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and Weight Loss Surgery in Obese Patients With Endometrial Carcinoma or Endometrial Intraepithelial Neoplasia

To assess the feasibility of an expedited referral process for the obese endometrial cancer or EIN patient from her gynecologic oncologist to the Brigham Center for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (CMBS) in order to undergo concurrent weight loss surgery and hysterectomy within 8 weeks of first appointment with a gynecologic oncologist (or 12 weeks for EIN patients).

Flyte Device for Improving Urinary Incontinence Among Endometrial and Cervical Cancer Survivors Who Have Undergone Radiation Therapy

This clinical trial studies how well and how easy it is to use a device called Flyte in improving problems with bladder control (urinary incontinence) among endometrial and cervical cancer survivors who have undergone radiation therapy. Urinary incontinence is common after pelvic radiation therapy and can affect daily life and well-being. Access to in-person pelvic floor physical therapy can be limited. The Flyte device is designed for in-home use to deliver a series of mechanical vibrations at a specific frequency while the pelvic floor muscles are contracting and relaxing (i.e., normal, guided Kegel exercises). This treatment is called mechanotherapy. The Flyte device may improve urinary incontinence symptoms, as well as overall quality of life among endometrial and cervical cancer survivors who have undergone radiation therapy.

Tegavivint for the Treatment of Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors, Including Lymphomas and Desmoid Tumors

This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating patients with solid tumors that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tegavivint interferes with the binding of beta-catenin to TBL1, which may help stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell that tell a cell to grow.

Comparison of Proton or Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy After Surgery for Endometrial or Cervical Cancer

This early phase I trial compares the side effects between patients treated with proton radiation therapy versus intensity modulated radiation therapy after surgery for the treatment of endometrial or cervical cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy protons or x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Using quality of life questionnaires and adverse event assessments may help doctors learn whether proton radiation therapy is associated with lower acute gastrointestinal toxicities at the end of treatment compared to intensity modulated radiation therapy in patients with endometrial or cervical cancer.

Low Dose Aspirin to Lower Inflammation and Prevent Endometrial Cancer in Postmenopausal Women With Non-atrophic Endometrial Changes and Pain

This phase IV trial studies whether low dose aspirin can be used to lower inflammation and prevent endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women with changes in the endometrial tissue that are not related to thinning (non-atrophic endometrial changes) and pain. As people age, there is an accumulation of fats, cell death, and inflammation, which causes a surge of pro-cancer-causing events. It is thought that there are several factors involved in the development of endometrial cancer, but that managing the inflammation may address the root cause. Low dose aspirin is aspirin that contains a lower dose than a standard adult tablet. Aspirin is a drug that reduces pain, fever, inflammation, and blood clotting. Aspirin belongs to the family of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. It is also being studied in cancer prevention. Giving low dose aspirin may be an effective way to lower inflammation and prevent endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women with non-atrophic endometrial changes and pain.

Elemene Liposomes in Endometrial Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Elemene Liposomes, combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel (TC) chemotherapy can improve prognosis in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: Does adding Elemene Liposomes to TC chemotherapy can delay disease recurrence time in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma. Researchers will compare Elemene Liposomes +TC chemotherapy to TC chemotherapy alone to see if Elemene Liposomes, combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel (TC) chemotherapy can improve prognosis in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. Participants will: * Receive TC Chemotherapy every 21 days, for a total of 6 cycles. * Take intravenous infusion of Elemene liposome injection every day from day 1 to day 7 of cycle 1 and 2, and take oral Elemene emulsion twice every day, from day 1 to day 14 of cycles 3 to cycle 6. (no intravenous or oral Elemene will be given in comparison group) * Visit the clinic for checkups and tests once every 21 days during treatment and every 3 to 12 months after the treatment is completed.

NUC-3373 in Combination With Other Agents in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

This study is an open-label, multi-arm, parallel cohort, dose validation and expansion design. The study is modular in design, allowing evaluation of the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of NUC-3373 in combination with other agents for the treatment of patients with different tumour types. Each module is designed to evaluate a different NUC-3373 combination and consists of a dose-validation phase (Phase Ib) and a dose-expansion phase (Phase II). Phase Ib of each module will determine the safety and tolerability of the combinations for further clinical evaluation in Phase II. Approximately 6-20 evaluable patients will be enrolled in the Phase Ib stage of each module to determine safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of NUC-3373 in combination with other agents. Each module will then move into Phase II to enable a further assessment of safety and efficacy in approximately 20-40 patients. Module 1 will assess NUC-3373 + leucovorin (LV) in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumours who have progressed on ≤2 prior therapies for metastatic disease, that may have included 1 prior immunotherapy-containing regimen (either monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy) or who have not progressed but where addition of NUC-3373 + LV to standard pembrolizumab monotherapy may be appropriate (e.g., patients who could not tolerate post- immuno-oncology (IO) standard of care therapy). Module 2 will assess NUC-3373 + LV in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pleural mesothelioma who have progressed on, or were unable to tolerate, 1 or 2 prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy-containing regimens for advanced/metastatic disease. The opening of each module will be at the discretion of the Sponsor. Further modules may be added as non-clinical and clinical data become available to support additional NUC-3373 combinations and tumour types.

Web-based Lifestyle Program, mHealth and EMA Intervention, to Improve Weight Loss in Rural Stage I-III Postmenopausal Breast and Endometrial Cancer Survivors, HERO-C Trial

This clinical trial identifies the needs and preferences of rural stage I-III postmenopausal breast and endometrial cancer survivors and evaluates the impact of an adaptive, online program, mobile (m)Health + ecological momentary assessment (EMA) intervention, on lifestyle modification and their weight loss efforts. Obesity, a condition marked by an abnormally high, unhealthy amount of body fat, is associated with lower physical and psychological well-being, higher risk of recurrence, and higher cancer-specific and all-cause mortality (number of deaths). Lifestyle factors, such as low physical activity and unhealthy diet, are the main contributors to obesity that are modifiable. Lifestyle weight loss programs focusing on modifiable factors can improve cancer-specific survival and many aspects of health, but access to these programs can be challenging in rural settings. A remote lifestyle program, adapted to individual goals and needs, may help promote healthy behaviors, improve cancer outcomes, and reduce disease burden in stage I-III postmenopausal breast and endometrial cancer survivors.
