As part of the myeloMATCH Older Adult AML basket, a comprehensive geriatric assessment will be implemented across intensive and non-intensive treatment studies to validate measures of fitness and frailty that predict for treatment-related morbidity and mortality. The overall goal of the geriatric assessment will be to validate measures to be incorporated in future older adult AML myeloMATCH studies to prospectively define “fitness” for intensive chemotherapy.

Subject will either get Azacitidine through a vein in their arm or subcutaneously and Venetoclax by mouth for up to 2 years, or will get Azacitidine through a vein in your arm or subcutaneously, Venetoclax and Gilteritinib as tablets that you take by mouth for up to 2 years. After you finish your study treatment, doctor will continue to follow condition for 10 years.

This trial will examine the use of "off the shelf" CAR T in the treatment of cancers that have relapsed or do not respond to treatment.

The purpose of the study is to see if blood and bone marrow samples can be tested in a timely manner for markers that could guide cancer treatment. The testing will look for markers that specific treatments may target. Based on test results, the subject will have the option to join a myeloMATCH treatment substudy for treatment or receive standard of care treatment from your doctor.

Participants will give bone marrow and blood samples for testing. Your samples will be tested for specific cancer biomarkers. After the study receives the results of your biomarker testing, the physician will tell you if there is a myeloMATCH treatment substudy available that matches your results. If a substudy is available the study doctor will give the subject more information about it and help the subject understand the details of the study.

This study aims to examine how alcohol and cannabis cues (i.e. images of alcohol containing beverages or cannabis) influences brain responses in the lab and how cues in the natural environment influence self-reported craving and drug use.

Participants take part in this research study because they have a new diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Study is looking at to see if treatment can be improved by adding venetoclax to the usual chemotherapy: cytarabine and daunorubicin (also known as 7+3), or azacitidine? This study wants to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for this type of cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for AML.

Participants will either get cytarabine + daunorubicin + venetoclax for up to 11 days, or you will get azacitidine + venetoclax for up to two months, or you will get cytarabine + daunorubicin for up to 7 days. Subjects treatment may be extended by a few weeks if subject needs additional therapy. Doctor will continue to follow your condition for 5 years and watch subject for side effects and keep track of their health. After study treatment, subjects may also be offered another clinical trial through the myeloMATCH study. Subjects will be followed on this study even if they continue onto another study. Follow-up includes a clinic visit 28 days after subjects treatment is complete, and clinic visits every 3 months for the first year, every 6 months for the second year, and annually for years 3-5 after treatment is completed.

This study is being done to answer the following question: Can we shrink the amount of AML or get rid of it in your bone marrow and body by treating you with the standard approach of cytarabine + daunorubicin (7+3) or one of the following experimental groups: 1) cytarabine and daunorubicin with venetoclax 2) azacitidine and venetoclax, 3) daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome, or 4) daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome with venetoclax? Study will last 5 years. After study treatment, doctor will continue to follow condition for 5 years and watch for side effects. The follow-up care may be in-person clinic visits or phone calls. They will check subject every month for 1 year after they join the study. After that, they will check subject every 2 months for the second year, every 3 months for the third year, and every 6 months for the fourth and fifth years.

This study is being done to answer the following question: Will preventative radiation therapy lower the number of bone metastases-related complications (such as fracture caused by the tumor in the bone and tumor pushing on the spinal cord) compared to the usual approach? We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your type of cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for high-risk bone metastases that are not causing symptoms.

If the participant decides to take part in this study, they will either get the usual approach or they will get radiation therapy for up to 5 days plus the usual approach. After the participant finishes treatment, the doctor and study team will continue to follow their condition and watch for side effects. The doctor and study team will check the participant 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after they join the study.

We will ask people who currently use—or have used—hair-styling tools (e.g. Dyson Airwrap, Shark Flexstyle) to complete an online questionnaire about how easy the tools are to use and how loud they seem. Our goal is to understand user experiences and preferences so manufacturers can design quieter, more user-friendly devices.

There will be an online consent form and an eligibility questionnaire before an approximately 10 minute survey on Qualtrics.

Participants will be required to come to all study visits. At those visits the following may occur, blood tests to see if you are well enough to participate or continue to participate in the trial, a physical exam by the study doctor, meeting with the study team to talk about how you are feeling followed by getting toripalimab and chemotherapy. At other time you will need to have scans to see if how your cancer has responded to the treatment. These visit will continue until your cancer grows back, doesn’t respond to the treatment or the study is stopped by the sponsor. Although toripalimab is approved for the treatment of NPC, it is not approved to be used with these other two drugs.

There is a clinical visit for TL assessment on Week 8. Assessment of response at the TL site occurs at week 13. -Control Arm: 1 day for surgery, with post-surgical visits at week 3 and week 13 -Both Arms: Week 19, then every 3 months for years 1 and 2, and every 4 months for year 3. Additional visits may occur for clinical issues that may arise, per standard of care. At different timepoints throughout the study participants will have their skin examined and photographed, answers questionnaires/interview, have blood drawn, and have a biopsy.

We know that both what (e.g., apples, pizza) and how (e.g., large vs small bites, fast vs slow) can contribute to overeating. The study will be focused on how children eat. We want to see if children eat the same way in the lab as they eat at home. We will assess laboratory and home eating styles (e.g., bite rate) in 100 prepubertal 6-9-year-old children. Children will be video-recorded while consuming identical study-provided meals at home and in the laboratory in addition to a ‘typical’ meal at home.

Healthy 6-9 year-olds and their parents are needed for the MEAL-TIME Study at Penn State University. We are looking for children to help us learn about how kids respond to different types of foods and computer games. The study consists of 3 visits to our facilities in Noll and Chandlee Labs, located on the University Park Campus. Your child will eat a meal and complete computer game tasks at each visit. Between visits, you will be asked to record your child eating at home using a study-provided smart phone. Your child will also complete an IQ test. Some children may experience anxiety when completing clinical procedures (e.g., height, weight). You and your child will be compensated $50 per visit for a total of $150. Each visit is expected to be 1.5 hours long and at-home meal recordings are expected to take 30-45 min, for a total of 8 hours participating in our lab.
