Testing AZD1775 in Advanced Solid Tumors That Have a Mutation Called SETD2

This phase II trial studies how well adavosertib works in treating patients with SETD2-deficient solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced/metastatic). Adavosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Inulin Gel in Combination With Ipilimumab and Nivolumab for the Treatment of Metastatic or Locally Advanced Kidney Cell Cancer, ICON Trial

This phase I/II trial tests the safety and effectiveness of inulin gel in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab in treating patients with kidney cell cancer (renal cell carcinoma \[RCC\]) that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Inulin is a common food additive fermentable prebiotic fiber beneficial for a healthy gut microbiome. The microbiome is the collection of all microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and their genes, that naturally live on and inside the body. Inulin may also be used for cancer prevention and heart health, but there is less evidence to support those uses. The gut microbiome profile may improve the effectiveness of drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving inulin gel in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab may be safe and effective in treating in patients with metastatic or locally advanced RCC.

Imaging of Solid Tumors Using 18F-TRX

This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of 18F-TRX in detecting tumors (cancer) patients with solid tumors. 18F-TRX is an imaging tracer that is used to visualize tumors using a PET scan. It specifically targets and detects labile (unstable) iron levels within tissues, including tumors. Diagnostic procedures, such as 18F-TRX PET/CT or PET/MRI, may help detect tumors in patients with solid tumors
