This research registry will collect and save data, cancer samples and family health history information to discover new ways cancer develops. It will look to find new genes that could be used for treatments and preventing cancer for people with hereditary cancer.

Study of a new drug called ONM-501 for people with triple negative breast cancer, advanced solid tumors or lymphomas

This study will examine the effectiveness and safety of cemiplimab, a treatment given prior to surgery. Participants will undergo endoscopy after the therapy and take CT scans to assess the effects of the therapy. The study also will compare genes of pretreatment cancer samples between patients who responded well to the therapy and patients who did not.

The usual care after a person with stage 3 colon cancer has had surgery and chemotherapy is to begin active surveillance. This is a time when no additional treatment is given, but instead patients have frequent imaging scans to see if their cancer has come back.

This study is looking at whether a blood test known as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can find signs of remaining cancer or recurrence after treatment earlier than standard active surveillance. People in the study who have evidence of cancer in their ctDNA test may receive additional treatment based on their test results. The goal of this study is to learn if using ctDNA and additional treatment improves outcomes in people after treatment for stage 3 colon cancer. Currently, testing with ctDNA is not part of standard of care to determine if colon cancer treatment was successful or if there is a recurrence. 

This study is being done to decide if the drug Tukysa (Tucatinib) combined with other cancer drugs works better than the standard of care, which is chemotherapy treatment for people with a specific type of colorectal cancer called HER2 positive colorectal cancer. The study also aims to understand the side effects of the combination of these drugs in treatment. The combination of drugs being used are Tukysa (Tucatinib), Herceptin (Trastuzumab), and mFOLFOX6, which is a combination of Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, Levoleucovorin, and Fluorouracil.

The ENLACE study will learn more about colorectal cancer in Hispanic people so that treatment can be improved. Results may help your doctor choose your treatment and help you find out if you are eligible for a clinical trial. Your results may also help family members understand their cancer risks. People will have blood drawn and complete a questionnaire to join the study. Genetic testing will be done on your blood and the tissue from your tumor biopsy or surgery to test the genes that you inherited. You do not have to pay for the genetic testing. You will receive the results of your test from your oncologist and genetic counseling may be recommended. Two weeks and one year after talking with your doctor about your test results, you will complete follow-up questionnaires either in person or over the phone. 

This study will colect blood and stool samples to detect colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps in people with Lynch syndrome and those diagnosed with early onset colorectal cancer, diagnosed younger than 50 years old. 

This study will test three different diets in people who are overweight and who have an increased risk of colorectal cancer. The study will look at whether these diets improve eating and possibly lead to weight loss. 

The goal of this study is to identify whether Li-Fraumini syndrome (LFS), which has a high lifetime cancer risk, has any other causes besides the TP53 mutation. The study involves people with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and people from families with Li-Fraumeni syndrome filling out questionnaires with their medical information.

This study is looking at whether obeticholic acid (OCA) is safe and has a beneficial effect on the number of polyps in the small bowel and colon in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). OCA is a drug similar to a bile acid the body's liver makes. Researchers believe OCA may help keeping cancer from developing. OCA is already FDA approved to treat a type of liver disease. There have been studies showing that OCA decreases inflammation and fibrosis. However, it is not yet known whether OCA works on reducing the number of polyps in patients with FAP.

This study will test the safety and effectiveness of using a new immunotherapy drug called NC410 to treat people with different types of metastatic or advanced cancers that cannot be removed by surgery. The study is open to people with colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, stomach, esophageal, head and neck and other cancers that:

• have a tumor marker known as microsatellite stable (MSS), OR
• have been treated with and no longer respond to treatment with immunotherapy drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors.

The trial is enrolling people with Lynch syndrome. On average, the length of this study will last one year from the start of enrollment to completion. The study will measure  the effect of naproxen or aspirin on the immune cells in the gastrointestinal tract of people with Lynch syndrome. The trial will also evaluate any symptoms from the medications and any other changes of the colon and rectum.

This study is looking at the effectiveness of an immunotherapy, pembrolizumab, in treating people who have been diagnosed with advanced solid tumors that have progressed on standard-of-care therapy.

The TAPUR Study aims to describe the safety and efficacy of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved, targeted anticancer drugs prescribed for treatment of patients with advanced cancer that has a potentially actionable genomic alteration.

SPICE is an online survey that asks questions about your sexuality, sexual health knowledge, interpersonal relationships, and body image. Participants will be asked questions about their body image, impact of cancer, relationships, and how they feel about their sexuality.

Eating well and being physically active may help prevent cancer recurrence. Tools To Be Fit is a study to figure out what tools work best for helping cancer survivors improve their diet and exercise. Participants will get access to a combination of tools such as text messages, a wearable physical activity tracker, apps, health coaching, and coaching for a support person in the participant’s life.

Online survey for patients and caregivers focusing on multiple aspects of cancer to understand its emotional, physical, practical, and financial impact, so we can identify and address gaps in care and support.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of using the immunotherapy drugs nivolumab and relatlimab in patients with microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) solid tumors resistant to prior PD-L1 therapy.

Both nivolumab and relatlimab are a type of immunotherapy known as immune checkpoint inhibitors. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are drugs that prevent cancer cells from switching off immune cells. This allows the immune system to find, unmask and destroy cancer cells.

This study focuses on cancer survivors’ needs during the transition into a new normal life after the completion of cancer treatment. The goal is to explore ways in which we can improve physical activity and diet among cancer survivors and address their challenges to develop and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.

We specifically would like to work with and for cancer survivors who self-describe as people of color to understand how social structures, stress and environmental factors impact health behaviors and subsequent quality of life.

Many cancer patients experience cancer-related distress, which includes psychological symptoms of anxiety and depression. The RESTORE study will enroll up to 415 adults who have been diagnosed with stage I-III cancer. The goal is to test how effective two different apps are at improving physical and mental health. Participants use their smartphone or tablet to download and access their assigned treatment app without ever needing to visit a clinic in person.
