Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are drugs that many people take for several years after initial breast cancer treatment. They are designed to reduce the chance that the breast cancer will come back. However, people who take AIs often develop a type of joint pain known as aromatase inhibitor-associated arthralgia (AIA). Those with AIA often reduce their physical activity and have an increased risk of falling. Some people stop taking their AIs because of this pain.

Researchers want to see if tumor-treating fields (TTFields) are safe and practical for people with lung adenocarcinoma before surgery. Lung adenocarcinoma is a type of lung cancer. If you join this study, you will get treatment with TTFields for up to 3 weeks before lung cancer surgery.

Researchers are assessing ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) to treat salivary gland cancer. The people in this study have cancer that is operable (can be removed with surgery) and makes a protein called HER2. T-DM1 targets cancer cells that make HER2. In this study, it will be combined with radiation therapy and chemotherapy after the tumor has been removed by surgery.

Researchers want to find the best dose of lorlatinib to give with ramucirumab in people with lung cancer. They are also seeing how well this drug combination works. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has metastasized (spread). In addition, their cancers have a fusion involving the ALK gene. A fusion gene is made when parts of two different genes in your body join together.

Deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) happens when a cell becomes unable to repair mistakes that happen during the normal process of cell division. Standard treatments for early-stage rectal cancer include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. In this study, researchers are assessing the safety and effectiveness of giving the investigational immunotherapy dostarlimab first in people with locally advanced mismatch repair-deficient rectal cancer. Doctors will then evaluate patients' response to treatment before considering standard chemoradiation and/or surgery. Patients whose tumors respond completely to dostarlimab alone can be followed with close surveillance and no surgery.

Umbilical card blood is rich in healthy, blood-forming cells (stem cells) that are very good at fighting blood cancers. Cord blood transplants (CBT) are a standard treatment for adults with blood cancers who lack a genetically matched stem cell donor. Cord blood is donated by a baby's mother at birth. CBT uses stem cells from cord blood collections to replace cells that have been destroyed by disease or anti-cancer treatment.

Researchers are assessing the combination of sacituzumab govitecan and cetuximab for treating head and neck cancer. The people in this study have squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Their cancer came back or spread after prior treatment.
-
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug STK-012 that can be given safely in combination with pembrolizumab immunotherapy to people with solid tumors that have spread or come back despite prior treatment. STK-012 is a modified form of a protein called interleukin-2, which is normally made by the immune system. It may help to multiply and activate tumor-killing cells of the immune system.

The purpose of this study is to see if delivering laser light directly to the prostate to activate a light-sensitive drug is a safe and effective treatment for prostate cancer that has come back after radiation therapy. The goal of this treatment is to eliminate any remaining prostate cancer cells. This approach is a form of photodynamic therapy (PDT).
