Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum dose of LDE225 and BKM120 that can be safely given together to patients and/or the dose that will be used in future studies. This study will also learn more about how the combination of these two investigational drugs may work for patients with certain cancers (specifically metastatic breast cancer, advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, metastatic colorectal cancer and recurrent glioblastoma multiforme).

Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with floxuridine in treating patients with metastatic epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal cavity, or fallopian tube cancer. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as floxuridine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving veliparib together with floxuridine may kill more tumor cells.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine how well SNS01-T is tolerated by relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, B cell lymphoma or plasma cell leukemia patients when given by intravenous infusion at various doses.
-
Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The purpose of this trial is to determine the safety of 15 fraction vs 25 fraction pencil beam scanning proton radiotherapy after mastectomy in patients requiring regional nodal irradiation. Proton therapy is recognized as a standard option for the delivery of radiotherapy for breast cancer.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.
This randomized phase III trial studies clofarabine to see how well it works compared with daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine when followed by decitabine or observation in treating older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine, daunorubicin hydrochloride, cytarabine, and decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating acute myeloid leukemia.

Rochester, Minn.
The goal of this study is to evaluate a new approach to immunotherapy in NHL by combining two antibodies, veltuzumab and epratuzumab. For treatment, epratuzumab has also been attached to a radioactive isotope called 90yttrium (90Y-epratuzumab). Veltuzumab and 90Y-epratuzumab attack different areas on lymphoma cells. Because of this, treatment with the combination may provide more effective treatment in NHL than either veltuzumab or 90Y-epratuzumab given alone.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.
The standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer involves chemotherapy and radiation, known as 5FUCMT, (the chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil/capecitabine and radiation therapy) prior to surgery. Although radiation therapy to the pelvis has been a standard and important part of treatment for rectal cancer and has been shown to decrease the risk of the cancer coming back in the same area in the pelvis, some patients experience undesirable side effects from the radiation and there have been important advances in chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation which may be of benefit. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, both good and bad, of the standard treatment of chemotherapy and radiation to chemotherapy using a combination regimen known as FOLFOX, (the drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin and leucovorin) and selective use of the standard treatment, depending on response to the FOLFOX. The drugs in the FOLFOX regimen are all FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved and have been used routinely to treat patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

Rochester, Minn.
This phase II trial studies how well erismodegib and lenalidomide after stem cell transplant works in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Erismodegib and lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may delay the recurrence of myeloma after a stem cell transplant.

Rochester, Minn.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab when given together with brentuximab vedotin in treating patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement or has not responded to previous treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Brentuximab vedotin is a combining monoclonal antibody with an anticancer drug that binds to a protein on the surface of lymphoma cells called cluster of differentiation (CD)30 and may kill the cells. Giving ipilimumab or nivolumab or both with brentuximab vedotin may kill more cancer cells.

This study defines cancer caregivers as unpaid individuals who provide physical, practical, and/or emotional care and support to the cancer patient in the home setting. They may participate in this study if care recipients and the caregiver are both adults (18 years or older), with the patient having been diagnosed with cancer.The 8 intervention sessions will target the five domains of Quality Of Life (emotional, physical, social, cognitive, and spiritual well-being), be provided in group settings, and be delivered in two 45-minute sessions each week over a 4-week period.
