This study is assessing the safety and effectiveness of ASTX727 in people who have malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) with a mutation in a gene complex called PRC2 (EED or SUZ12). ASTX727 is a combination of two drugs (cedazuridine and decitabine) that have been designed to target cancer cells with a PRC2 complex genetic mutation and disrupt the cells' ability to survive and grow.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in infants (babies under 1 year of age) can be challenging to treat. Researchers in this study are assessing the addition of 2 new drugs to standard chemotherapy for ALL in infants.

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug NVL-520 that can be given safely in people with metastatic solid tumors that contain a change (fusion) involving the ROS1 gene. A fusion gene is made when parts of two different genes join together. NVL-520 blocks the ROS1 protein, which promotes cancer cell growth and survival. It is taken orally (by mouth

Sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia are blood diseases caused by a genetic change (mutation) in hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. People with these diseases may be offered a stem cell transplant. Stem cell transplantation involves receiving healthy blood-forming cells (stem cells) from a donor to replace the diseased or damaged cells in the bone marrow.

Researchers in this study want to find the best dose of lurbinectedin to treat cancer in children and adults. They also want to see how well this drug works. The people in this study have Ewing sarcoma or other solid tumors that keep growing after treatment. In addition, their cancers contain a genetic change called a FET fusion.

The transplantation of stem cells from umbilical cord blood is a treatment for some blood cancers and non-cancerous blood or metabolic disorders. Patients routinely receive high doses of chemotherapy and sometimes radiation before receiving the stem cells to help make room in the bone marrow for new blood stem cells to grow, prevent the body from rejecting the transplanted cells, and help kill any abnormal blood cells in the body. However, the combination of these treatments can have serious side effects.
-
Researchers want to see if combining radiation therapy and immunotherapy is safe and works well for treating advanced adrenocortical cancer. The people in this study have adrenocortical cancer that spread to other parts of the body, including the liver.
-
Researchers are doing this study to find the best dose of ziftomenib to give with standard chemotherapy in children and young adults with acute leukemia. The people in this study have acute leukemia that keeps growing or came back after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the KMT2A, NUP98, or NPM1 genes.
-
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug NVL-655 that can be given safely in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or other solid tumors that contain a genetic change called an ALK gene fusion. NVL-655 is a type of drug called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which works by blocking proteins that fuel cancer growth. However, some cancer cells develop resistance to TKI treatment.
