Germ cell tumors (GCTs) include ovarian teratomas and testicular cancers. The standard treatment for "low-risk" GCTs includes complete removal by surgery followed by chemotherapy with cisplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide, unless the patient is a young child, in which case careful observation may be adequate. GCTs are considered "standard risk" if the patient is under age 25 at diagnosis, the tumor was not completely removed during surgery or has spread to other parts of the body, or proteins in the blood called tumor markers are elevated. The standard treatment for standard-risk GCTs includes chemotherapy with cisplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide followed by surgery, followed by more chemotherapy if needed.

A Study of the Voro Urologic Scaffold to Prevent Urinary Incontinence After Prostate Removal SurgeryProstate removal (prostatectomy), a treatment for prostate cancer, can cause urinary incontinence (the inability to control the flow of urine). People experience urinary incontinence in the days immediately following surgery, which can reduce quality of life. Most people experience urinary incontinence for several weeks to months after surgery, but it can last longer.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab immunotherapy alone and with the drug cabozantinib to reduce the chance that mucosal melanoma will come back after surgery. Nivolumab boosts the power of the immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells. Cabozantinib inhibits cancer cell growth by blocking certain enzymes.

Researchers want to find the best dose of DCC-3009 to use in people with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The people in this study have GIST that has metastasized (spread) after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the KIT or PDGFRA gene. These mutations are common in people with GIST and can cause cancer to grow.

Researchers are assessing trametinib and azacitidine alone and with other drugs to treat leukemia in young people. The people in this study have newly diagnosed juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).
-
Researchers want to find the best doses of different drugs to use together in people with advanced urothelial cancer. The people in this study have urothelial cancer that metastasized (spread) and has not yet been treated.
-
The usual treatment for brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain) is a single treatment of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). SRS uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor.

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.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues in the body. Researchers in this study are comparing different chemotherapy-based treatments for children and young adults with very low-risk RMS, low-risk RMS, and RMS with DNA mutations, with treatment tailored to the predicted aggressiveness of each patient's cancer. The standard chemotherapy drugs participants will receive include vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide.

Researchers are assessing nivolumab and ipilimumab immunotherapy with or without cabozantinib to treat advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. The people in this study have nasopharyngeal cancer that recurred (came back) or metastasized (spread). In addition, the cancer cannot be cured with other therapies.
