Cabozantinib-S-Malate in Treating Younger Patients With Recurrent, Refractory, or Newly Diagnosed Sarcomas, Wilms Tumor, or Other Rare Tumors

This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib-s-malate works in treating younger patients with sarcomas, Wilms tumor, or other rare tumors that have come back, do not respond to therapy, or are newly diagnosed. Cabozantinib-s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor growth and tumor blood vessel growth.

Radiation Therapy With Protons or Photons in Treating Patients With Liver Cancer

This phase III trial studies how well radiation therapy with protons works compared with photons in treating patients with liver cancer. Radiation therapy, such as photon therapy, uses high energy x-rays to send the radiation inside the body to the tumor while proton therapy uses a beam of proton particles. Proton therapy can stop shortly after penetrating through the tumor and may cause less damage to the surrounding healthy organs and result in better survival in patients with liver cancer.

Testing the Combination of the Anti-cancer Drugs XL184 (Cabozantinib) and Nivolumab in Patients With Advanced Cancer and HIV

This phase I trial investigates the side effects of cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and who are undergoing treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as 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 cabozantinib and nivolumab may shrink or stabilize cancer in patients undergoing treatment for HIV.

Tegavivint for the Treatment of Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors, Including Lymphomas and Desmoid Tumors

This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating patients with solid tumors that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tegavivint interferes with the binding of beta-catenin to TBL1, which may help stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell that tell a cell to grow.

Guadecitabine and Durvalumab in Treating Patients With Advanced Liver, Pancreatic, Bile Duct, or Gallbladder Cancer

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of guadecitabine and how well it works when given together with durvalumab in treating patients with liver, pancreatic, bile duct, or gallbladder cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Guadecitabine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving guadecitabine and durvalumab may work better in treating patients with liver, pancreatic, bile duct, or gallbladder cancer.

IRX-2, Cyclophosphamide, and Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic and Refractory Liver Cancer

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of IRX-2 when given together with cyclophosphamide and nivolumab in treating patients with liver cancer that has come back or spread to other parts of the body and does not response to treatment. Biological therapies, such as IRX-2, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as 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 IRX-2, cyclophosphamide, and nivolumab may work better than the IRX?2 regimen alone in treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Tislelizumab or Tislelizumab Combined With Lenvatinib Neo-adjuvant Treatment for Resectable RHCC

This non-randomized phase II clinical trial aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab or Tislelizumab combined with Lenvatinib as neoadjuvant treatment for resectable RHCC patients

Lenvatinib for the Treatment of Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Liver Transplant

This phase II trial evaluates lenvatinib for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that has come back (recurrent) after a liver transplant. HCC is a cancer of the liver and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. Liver transplantation is a potentially curative treatment option for HCC, however, up to 20% of patients develop recurrent disease after liver transplantation and prognosis remains poor. Lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Systemic treatments for HCC have not been studied in patients with recurrent HCC after liver transplantation, so there is no established therapy for these patients. This phase II trial evaluates lenvatinib for this purpose.

The Comparison of TACE-Lenvatinib With TACE-Lenvatinib-ablation for Intermediate Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Studies have shown that combination therapy of TACE with Lenvatinib could achieve better survival outcomes than TACE alone for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at BCLC B stage. However, whether patients could benefit from the ablation for intermediate recurrent HCC (RHCC) is still need high quality clinical evidence. This study is to evaluate the efficacy of ablation combined with TACE and Lenvatinib for the intermediate-stage RHCC.
