This phase II trial tests how well venetoclax, ibrutinib, prednisone, obinutuzumab, and Revlimid® (ViPOR) works in treating patients with CD10 negative diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and high-grade lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) and/or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Ibrutinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It blocks a protein called BTK, which is present on B-cell (a type of white blood cells) cancers at abnormal levels. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and spreading. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as prednisone lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Obinutuzumab, a monoclonal antibody, binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells and some types of leukemia and lymphoma cells. Obinutuzumab may block CD20 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Revlimid, a type of anti-angiogenesis agent and a type of immunomodulating agent, may help the immune system kill abnormal blood cells or cancer cells. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that cancers need to grow. ViPOR may be an effective treatment option for patients with relapsed and/or refractory CD10 negative DLBCL and high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements.

In breast cancer patients with nodal involvement, numerous studies have demonstrated that adjuvant radiation therapy reduces the risk of local recurrence, regional recurrence, and distant metastases, in addition to improving survival. The dose and fractionation for adjuvant breast radiation therapy has evolved over time, as novel schedules have been compared to the current standard of care. Hypofractionated radiation therapy (266 cGy per fraction x 15-16 fractions over 3 weeks) has been shown to result in equivalent oncologic outcomes, as well as equivalent acute and late toxicity, when compared to standard fractionation (200 cGy per fraction x 25 fractions over 5 weeks). Subsequently, hypofractionated breast radiation has become the current standard of care. More recently, ultra-hypofractionated breast radiation (520 cGy per fraction x 5 fractions over 1 week) was shown in a randomized trial to be non-inferior to hypofractionated radiation when treating the breast after lumpectomy. However, the efficacy and toxicity of using ultra-hypofractionated radiation therapy when also treating the regional nodes has not been reported. This is important, as there is greater radiation exposure to several normal tissues, such as the arm/shoulder, brachial plexus, normal lymphatics, heart, and lung, when treating the regional nodes. In this randomized study, the investigators aim to compare the tolerability and efficacy of ultra-hypofractionated breast/chest wall and regional nodal radiation (SWIFT RT) against hypofractionated radiation (RT). The investigators will evaluate acute and late toxicity, oncologic outcomes (including local recurrence, regional recurrence, distant metastasis, and overall survival), cosmesis, and patient-reported quality of life. The investigators will collect blood samples for correlative studies of biomarkers of fibrosis and cardiac toxicity.

This study will assess if drug (NIO752) reduces production of a protein, tau, by the brain. Normally tau maintains the internal skeleton of nerve cells. In Alzheimer's disease (AD) it builds up in the brain, causing damage. Abnormal tau proteins cling to each other forming 'tangles' inside nerve cells, which interfere with how the nerve cells work, and eventually die. This is what causes the symptoms of dementia. It is thought that NIO752 reduces production of tau.

This phase II trial studies the effect of obeticholic acid in treating patients with Barrett's esophagus. Bile acids present in duodenogastroesophageal reflux contribute to neoplastic progression in Barrett's esophagus. Obeticholic acid has shown anti-cholestatic, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects mediated by FXR activation. It down regulates bile acid availability and decreases proinflammatory cytokine production including IL-1beta and TNFalpha in human enterocytes and immune cells. This chain of events reduces the bile acid exposure in esophagus tissue thereby limiting bile acid induced damage and dysplastic progression.

This phase III ALCHEMIST treatment trial tests the addition of pembrolizumab to usual chemotherapy for the treatment of stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, pemetrexed, carboplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab with usual chemotherapy may help increase survival times in patients with stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.

This phase III trial studies whether adding apalutamide to the usual treatment improves outcome in patients with lymph node positive prostate cancer after surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-ray to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Androgens, or male sex hormones, can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as apalutamide, may help stop or reduce the growth of prostate cancer cell growth by blocking the attachment of androgen to its receptors on cancer cells, a mechanism similar to stopping the entrance of a key into its lock. Adding apalutamide to the usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy after surgery may stabilize prostate cancer and prevent it from spreading and extend time without disease spreading compared to the usual approach.

The iCOVER intervention was developed to rapidly restore functioning in individuals experiencing an Acute Stress Reaction (ASR). iCOVER is undergoing widespread adoption but has not been tested for efficacy. iCOVER was designed to be administered by peers, paraprofessionals, or medical personnel in 60-120 seconds, including in military operational environments. The term iCOVER is an acronym that summarizes the six specific steps of the intervention: (1) identify that an individual is experiencing an ASR; (2) Connect with the individual through word, eye contact, and physical touch to draw them back to the present moment; (3) Offer commitment so that the individual feels less psychologically isolated and withdrawn (e.g., "I'm right here with you"); (4) Verify facts - ask simple fact-based questions to engage the individual in deliberate cognitive activity; (5) Establish order of events - briefly review what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen to orient the individual; and (6) Request action to re-engage the individual in purposeful behavior. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: iCOVER, usual care, or physical presence with reassurance. Investigators have elected to use two different control conditions, in order to examine the reliability of the iCOVER intervention in comparison with two typical responses to individuals experiencing an ASR (i.e., physical presence with reassurance, no specific treatment).
