A Randomized Phase II Trial of Adjuvant Pembrolizumab versus Observation Following Curative Resectionfor Stage I Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with Primary Tumors Between 1-4 cm:Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium BTCRC-LUN18-153 (PSCI# 20-043)
This is a research study to find out if giving a drug called pembrolizumab after lung cancer surgery does a better job at keeping the cancer from coming back than surgery alone. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to be followed closely by their doctor to watch in case the cancer returns. Participants in this study will be assigned by chance (flip of a coin) to be watched closely by their doctor or to receive a drug called pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab is given as an infusion inthe clinic once every six weeks. . You will have tests, exams and procedures that are part of your regular care and for study purposes. You will have scans every 12 weeks to make sure the cancer hasn’t come back. If you are assigned to receive pembrolizumab, you can continue to receive it for up to 1 year.
If you decide to take part in this study, you will be assigned to one of two groups. This is called randomization. A computer will assign you to a group in the study by chance. This is done by chance because no one knows if one study group is better or worse than the other. You will have an equal chance (50/50) of being assigned to either group.

A Pilot Study to evaluate the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and resistance profile to trametinib and dabrafenib in BRAF-V600E mutated recurrent gliomas
This research is being done to understand how much of two drugs (dabrafenib and trametinib) is able to enter brain tumors and how well the drugs are able to turn off this pathway in brain tumors. The study will also look at how tumors lose sensitivity to this treatment. People with primary brain tumors who are already taking dabrafenib and trametinib and who need a brain surgery are eligible for this study. Biospecimens (tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)) taken during the surgery will help us understand how much of these two study drugs actually get into the brain, their effect, and how the tumors become resistant to treatment.
Subjects must have a history of primary brain tumor (including but not limited to glioblastoma (GBM), anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), anaplastic ganglioglioma (AG), and anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA)).
Subjects must have a BRAF-V600 mutation identified in previous tissue analysis (may be IHC or PCR based). Allowable mutations include V600E, V600K, V600R, and V600D.

Metabolic Alterations of the Semitendinosus Muscle After Tendon Harvest for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
This is a cohort study examining the changes in the muscle that occur following ACL injury and reconstruction. This study aims to determine if significant changes to the muscles properties occur as a result of the graft taken for ACL reconstruction, and whether or not these changes serve as a risk factor for further injuries. This study will examine the muscles ability to use oxygen non-invasively, an important determinant of muscle endurance and allow for comparisons of this between individuals with ACL-reconstruction surgery and healthy, non-injured adults.
Participants will have their leg muscle strength and endurance measured using common clinical techniques used in physical medicine and rehabilitation sciences. They will also have their mitochondrial capacity assessed through the skin using a non-invasive procedure.

EA2197: Optimal Perioperative Therapy For Incidental Gallbladder Cancer (OPT-IN): A Randomized Phase II/III Trial (PSCI# 21-111)
The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment (surgery plus chemotherapy after) to using chemotherapy both before and after surgery. Receiving gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy both before and after surgery could extend your life and prevent your cancer from returning. But, it could also cause side effects, which are described in the risks section below. This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is better than the usual approach. To decide if it is better, the study doctors will look to see if the chemotherapy increases the time to disease recurrence and if it increases a patient’s overall survival compared to the usual approach given both before and after surgery.

SARS Cov-2 Nasal Pharyngeal and Oral Pharyngeal Wash (SNOW) Trial SARS Cov-2 Nasal Pharyngeal and Oral Pharyngeal Wash (SNOW) Trial
Adults recently diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection who use a 4-day combined intervention of nasal washes with 1% baby shampoo solution and oral gargles with Listerine Antiseptic® will have a reduced SARS-CoV-2 viral load compared to those using nasal and oral washes with normal saline. This combined intervention should be acceptable, tolerable and safe in this population. To test this, we are conducting a trial comparing the efficacy of a number of washes in reducing the oral and nasal SARS-CoV-2 viral load amongst adults.
At their home, participants will perform three nasal and oral rinses per day for 4 days and self-swab the nose and mouth before and after each morning rinse to collect specimens under the guidance of a zoom visit. On the morning of the 5th day participants will also self swab the nose and mouth for a final collection specimen. Participants will answer questions on an app and online platform.

A Phase II Study of Adjuvant Treatment With Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy Plus Concomitant Atezolizumab in Patients With Stage I (Tumors ≥ 4cm), IIA, IIB, and Select IIIA [T3N1, T4N0-1] Resected Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and the Clearance of Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium BTCRC-LUN19-396
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is genetic material in the bloodstream that comes from the subject's tumor. The purpose of this study is to estimate how many people with measurable ctDNA in the blood at baseline have unmeasurable ctDNA after receiving 1 year of chemotherapy and atezolizumab. Other studies have shown there is a strong connection between having ctDNA in the blood and lung cancer returning. Researchers will test blood from participants five times throughout this study and look for ctDNA.The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to receive chemotherapy after lung cancer surgery. The goal of chemotherapy is to kill any remaining cancer cells that may be left after surgery. This study will add a drug called atezolizumab to the usual chemotherapy drugs. Researchers think atezolizumab will also help kill any cancer cells that may be left after surgery. In this study chemotherapy and atezolizumab are given as infusions in the clinic once every three weeks. There will be tests, exams, and procedures that are part of subjects' regular care and for study purposes. There will be scans every 3 months to make sure the cancer hasn’t come back. Subjects will receive both chemotherapy and atezolizumab for the first 4 doses (about 2 months). After that, they will continue to receive just the atezolizumab for up to 1 year.

ENdoluminal LIGHT ActivatED Treatment of Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (ENLIGHTED)
Upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) is a recurrent disease. The current standard treatment for most UTUC patients requires surgery either removing some of the ureter in each operation or radical nephroureterectomy (RNU-removal of kidney and ureter) but the role of minimally invasive & kidney- preserving methods is increasing. The use of TOOKAD (padeliporfin) was investigated in a Phase 1 clinical study in the minimally-invasive treatment of UTUC with the goal of identifying safe laser/light exposure and signs that the tumor has been reduced or eliminated. Early results from this study have been highly promising, revealing the effects of tumor removal with a positive safety profile, indicating the potential role of TOOKAD (padeliporfin) in the treatment of low-grade UTUC disease.This Phase 3 study is designed to provide confirmation of the observed Phase 1 findings. Patients are expected to remain in the study for 25 to 28 months. Participation in this study will include up to 9 study visits to Hershey Medical Center and 2 phone visits.

SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY VERSUS ELECTIVE NECK DISSECTION FOREARLY-STAGE ORAL CAVITY CANCER (NRG-HN006) (PSCI# 20-085)
The purpose of this study is to see if neck and shoulder function and pain are better after SLN biopsy surgery compared to the usual approach and to see if SLN biopsy surgery is as good as the usual approach in extending your time without cancer. SLN biopsy surgery is potentially less invasive compared to the usual approach, but it requires a radioactive imaging agent to see the lymph nodes and it could also cause side effects. These side effects are described in the risks section below. Your study doctor will choose the appropriate imaging agent, Lymphoseek or sulfur colloid, for use in your surgery.This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is better than the usual approach at improving neck and shoulder function. To decide if it is better, in the first part of the study, doctors will be looking to see if shoulder and neck function and quality of life are better after SLN biopsy surgery compared to the END surgery.
