This phase II trial studies how well atezolizumab works alone or in combination with etrumadenant or tocilizumab in treating men with localized prostate cancer before radical prostatectomy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. IL-6 is expressed by prostate cancer and within the tumor microenvironment and shown to enhance prostate cancer and disease progression. Treatment with an anti-IL-6 antibody such as tocilizumab may inhibit cancer progression. Giving atezolizumab in combination with etrumadenant or tocilizumab may work better in treating prostate cancer.

Addictive full-agonist opioids, like oxycodone and hydrocodone, are often used to treat pain after surgery. However, these full-agonist opioids can be very addictive. After ankle fracture surgery, about 1 in 5 patients that did not take opioids before surgery become addicted to opioids after surgery. Buprenorphine is an opioid with unique properties that may offer a way to reduce the number of patients that become addicted to opioids after surgery. Buprenorphine has good analgesic (painkilling) effects. It is also thought to be less addictive and cause less of a high than full-agonist opioids, like oxycodone and hydrocodone. This project's goal is to determine if transdermal buprenorphine can safely and effectively control pain after ankle fracture surgery. This study will be a pilot study, which sets the stage for future studies that investigate whether buprenorphine can reduce the rate that patients become addicted to opioids after surgery. This study's multidisciplinary team will divide patients into two groups. Participants in one group will be treated with a 7-day transdermal buprenorphine patch (where the buprenorphine is slowly absorbed through the skin over 7 days). Participants in the other group will be treated with a placebo patch. A placebo has no drug in it, it just looks like the buprenorphine patch. Aside from the buprenorphine patch or placebo patch, both groups' pain management plans will be the same as if they were not in the study. Over the first week after surgery, the investigators will measure the amount of full-agonist opioids (for example, oxycodone or hydrocodone) that participants consume, participants' pain scores, the frequency of side effects related to opioids, and the number of calls and patient portal messages to the clinic for uncontrolled pain. The investigators will also assess whether participants are continuing to use opioids 3 months after surgery for pain related to their ankle fracture.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer. Oropharynx SCC (OPSCC) is a common sub-type of HNSCC. Each year, 16,000 new cases of OPSCC are diagnosed in the USA. Most cases of OPSCC (>90%) are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are often cured with current therapy. However, patients treated with surgery followed by postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy (POA(C)RT) still experience substantial morbidity. In this highly curable disease, current clinical research interest is focused on investigation of de-escalated therapy, with the goal to reduce treatment-related adverse events (AEs) while maintaining a low recurrence rate. In this study, patients with HPV-related OPSCC will undergo resection of the primary tumor site and involved/at-risk regional neck nodes. Based on the pathology report, patients will be assigned to: - Arm 1 (de-POACRT-42 Gy) - Arm 2A (de-POART-42 Gy) - Arm 2B (de-POART-37.8 Gy) - Arm 2C (de-POACRT-30 Gy). All patients with high-risk pathology will be assigned to Arm 1 whereas patients with intermediate-risk pathology will be randomized (1:1:1) to Arm 2A, Arm 2B, or Arm 2C. Patients with highest-risk pathology and low-risk pathology will be removed from the trial after surgery and will be advised to pursue standard of care options.

This trial is an adaptive platform trial. The structure of the protocol allows the trial to evolve over time. Multiple investigational arms will be included within the trial under a Master Protocol (MP). These investigational arms may be added as appendices at different times depending on whether they are trial-ready and whether accrual in the trial will support another arm. Accrual to an arm will terminate in accord with the arm's appendix to the Master Protocol. The purpose of this proposed structure is to support the recurrent research challenge of efficiently evaluating what is the best therapy for a particular patient.

The study aims to evaluate and compare the incidence of atrial arrhythmias (including Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF), atrial flutter, and atrial tachycardia) stratified by baseline Utah fibrosis stages and overall fibrosis (%) of the left atrial wall area. The investigators hypothesize that patients with a higher baseline Utah fibrosis staging will experience a higher incidence of POAF. The study also aims to evaluate and compare the in-hospital mortality, length-of-stay (LOS), complication rates (strokes, pneumonia, respiratory failure etc.) of the different Utah fibrosis stage cohorts. Perform cost analysis and compare between patients with POAF and patients without POAF. The investigators hypothesize that patients experiencing POAF will have a higher mortality rate, longer LOS, greater complications, and therefore, additional hospital costs.
