This phase III trial compares the effect of giving triptorelin vs no triptorelin in preventing ovarian damage in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer receiving chemotherapy with an alkylating agents. Alkylating agents are part of standard chemotherapy, but may cause damage to the ovaries. If the ovaries are not working well or completely shut down, then it will be difficult or impossible to get pregnant in the future. Triptorelin works by blocking certain hormones and causing the ovaries to slow down or pause normal activity. The triptorelin used in this study stays active in the body for 24 weeks or about 6 months after a dose is given. After triptorelin is cleared from the body, the ovaries resume normal activities. Adding triptorelin before the start of chemotherapy treatment may reduce the chances of damage to the ovaries.

This is a single-arm open-label phase 1 dose escalation/expansion trial assessing the safety and efficacy of concurrent intrathecal azacitidine and intrathecal nivolumab in recurrent high-grade glioma.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and evaluate the safety and tolerability of mavorixafor in participants with congenital or acquired primary autoimmune and idiopathic chronic neutropenic disorders who are experiencing recurrent and/or serious infections as assessed by demonstrating its clinical benefit and increasing levels of circulating neutrophils.

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 1/2 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Exploratory Efficacy of AOC 1020 Administered Intravenously to Participants with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)

This phase II trial studies how well lower dose radiotherapy after chemotherapy (Carboplatin \& Etoposide) works in treating children with central nervous system (CNS) germinomas. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Researchers want to see if lowering the dose of standard radiotherapy (RT) after chemotherapy can help get rid of CNS germinomas with fewer long-term side effects.

The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy of guanfacine immediate release (GIR) for the treatment of hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattention in children 6-12 years of age with Down syndrome (DS) after 8 weeks of treatment.

The goal of this interventional study is to determine the strength of cobolimab and dostarlimab that is most tolerated in children and young adults who have advanced solid tumors. This study also aims: (a) to check if it is safe to use cobolimab and dostarlimab combination in children and young adults, (b) to see how to manage the side effects that may occur, and (c) the effect of this treatment in participants

This phase III trial determines whether taking prophylactic letermovir will reduce the likelihood of infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) in children and adolescents after stem cell transplant. The treatments used to prepare for HCT reduce the body's natural infection-fighting ability and increase the likelihood of an infection with a virus called cytomegalovirus. "Prophylaxis" means to take a drug to prevent a disease or side effect. Letermovir is an antiviral drug that stops cytomegalovirus from multiplying and may prevent cytomegalovirus infection and make the disease less severe.
