Researchers want to see how well tebentafusp works in people with clear cell sarcoma that has spread. This cancer grows deeply into soft tissues of the arms and legs. The people in this study have clear cell sarcoma that is inoperable (cannot be surgically removed) or has spread.

In this study, researchers are assessing the safety and effectiveness of using the drug ruxolitinib in patients with T-cell lymphoma or natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoma that has come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment. Ruxolitinib is already approved for treating a bone marrow disease called myelofibrosis. It works by inhibiting a protein called JAK, which works with another protein called STAT to promote the growth of many T-cell and NK-cell lymphomas. By blocking JAK, ruxolitinib may cause lymphomas to shrink.

The combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy (chemoradiation) is a standard treatment for people with HPV-positive throat cancer. HPV is human papillomavirus and can cause throat cancer. Standard chemoradiation may cause severe side effects such as mouth and gut sores, sore throat, and changes in taste.
Researchers want to find the best dose of AZD9592 to use in people with lung and head and neck cancers. They will assess AZD9592 when it is given alone and with the anti-cancer drug osimertinib. The people in this study have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or head and neck cancer with mutations (changes or variants) in the EGFR gene.
In this study, researchers are assessing the safety of the drug lurbinectedin in young people with solid tumors. In the first part, they will find the highest dose of lurbinectedin to use safely in children with solid tumors. If your child joins, this is the part of the study they will be in.
Researchers want to find the best dose of a new CAR T cell therapy for esophagogastric cancer. Esophagogastric cancer is cancer of the esophagus or stomach. The people in this study have esophagogastric cancer that has metastasized (spread), including to the peritoneum (lining of the belly). In addition, their cancer makes a protein called mesothelin and keeps growing after initial treatment.
Researchers want to find the best doses of ziftomenib to use with other drugs to treat leukemia. The people in this study have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that keeps growing even with treatment. In addition, they have AML with changes in the NPM1, KMT2A, or FLT3 genes.
