Belzutifan/MK-6482 for the Treatment of Advanced Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma (PPGL), Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor (pNET), Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) Disease-Associated Tumors, Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (wt GIST), or Solid Tumors With HIF-2α Related Genetic Alterations (MK-6482-015)

This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of belzutifan monotherapy in participants with advanced pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET), von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease-associated tumors, advanced wt (wild-type) gastrointestinal stromal tumor (wt GIST), or advanced solid tumors with hypoxia inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF-2α) related genetic alterations. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of belzutifan per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR).

Familial Investigations of Childhood Cancer Predisposition

NOTE: This is a research study and is not meant to be a substitute for clinical genetic testing. Families may never receive results from the study or may receive results many years from the time they enroll. If you are interested in clinical testing please consider seeing a local genetic counselor or other genetics professional. If you have already had clinical genetic testing and meet eligibility criteria for this study as shown in the Eligibility Section, you may enroll regardless of the results of your clinical genetic testing. While it is well recognized that hereditary factors contribute to the development of a subset of human cancers, the cause for many cancers remains unknown. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has expanded knowledge in the field of hereditary cancer predisposition. Currently, more than 100 cancer predisposing genes have been identified, and it is now estimated that approximately 10% of all cancer patients have an underlying genetic predisposition. The purpose of this protocol is to identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants. For this study, the investigators will establish a Data Registry linked to a Repository of biological samples. Health information, blood samples and occasionally leftover tumor samples will be collected from individuals with familial cancer. The investigators will use NGS approaches to find changes in genes that may be important in the development of familial cancer. The information gained from this study may provide new and better ways to diagnose and care for people with hereditary cancer. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: * Establish a registry of families with clustering of cancer in which clinical data are linked to a repository of cryopreserved blood cells, germline DNA, and tumor tissues from the proband and other family members. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: * Identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants in families with clustering of cancer for which the underlying genetic basis is unknown.

Real-World Effectiveness and Pharmacogenetics of Belzutifan in VHL Syndrome: The BELIEVE-VHL Trial

The BELIEVE-VHL Trial is a prospective real-life study designed to evaluate the therapeutic effects, benefits, and adverse effects of belzutifan, as well as the timing of treatment response and disease progression in patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome.

Ivonescimab in the Treatment of Multiple Advanced Tumors

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Ivonescimab works to treat advanced rare tumors including cohort 1: PAGET's disease of scrotum with infiltrating sweat gland carcinoma. cohort 2: Metastatic paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma. cohort 3: Metastatic renal angiomyolipoma and malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor. cohort 4: Rhabdomyosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma cohort 5: Collecting duct carcinoma cohort 6: Urachal carcinoma. cohort 7: Neuroendocrine cancer. cohort 8: Basal cell carcinoma and sarcomatoid carcinoma. cohort 9: Penile cancer. cohort 10: Adrenal cortical cancer. cohort 11: Metastatic germ cell tumors, failure of standard cisplatin based therapy (mostly testicular cancer). cohort 12: Non-clear cell renal carcinoma (including renal papillary renal carcinoma); Renal cancer cannot be classified). cohort 13: Non-clear cell renal carcinoma (including chromophobe renal carcinoma) cohort 14: Other rare tumors that cannot be classified (such as testicular reticulum adenocarcinoma, etc.). cohort 15: Prostate cancer. cohort 16: Clear cell renal carcinoma. (16.1: received PD-1; 16.2: no PD-1 received) cohort 17: Urothelial carcinoma. cohort 18: Kidney cancer with brain metastases. cohort 19: Brain metastases of urothelial carcinoma. cohort 20: Rare tumors with brain metastases. It will also learn about the safety of Ivonescimab. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Ivonescimab improve the objective response rate and prolong the survival of participants? What medical problems do participants have when taking Ivonescimab? Participants will: Receive Ivonescimab 20mg/kg intravenously every 21 days until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or full 2 years of treatment, whichever occurs first. Be performed imaging evaluation according to RECIST 1.1 every 9 weeks for 1 year of treatment and every 12 weeks after 1 year Be recorded any adverse events in the whole study period including type, incidence, grade, severity, duration, and association with the study drug according to NCI-CTCAE V5.0 criteria
