Personalized Neoantigen Peptide-Based Vaccine in Combination With Pembrolizumab for Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors

This phase I/II trial tests the safety and tolerability of an experimental personalized vaccine when given by itself and with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The experimental vaccine is designed target certain proteins (neoantigens) on individuals' tumor cells. 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. Giving the personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccine with pembrolizumab may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Establishing a Tumor Registry for Patients With Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Cervix

This study collects information and data on patients with neuroendocrine cervical cancer. Information from this study may be used to better understand the correlation between clinical data, such as patient characteristics, treatment, and disease outcomes, and overall patient outcomes.

Social Health, Activity Behaviors, and Quality of Life Among Young Adult Cancer Survivors

This study assesses how personal relationships (such as friendships, family relationships, or romantic partners) influence the physical activity (exercise) and well-being of young adult cancer survivors. Researchers also hope to learn how social relationships change after a cancer diagnosis, and how these changes might impact important health behaviors. The information provided may help researchers learn more about better ways to support young cancer patients in the future through interventions that help maintain good social relationships and health levels of physical activity.

MRI-Guided Brachytherapy in Treating Participants With HPV-Associated Stage IB2-IVA Cervical or Stage II-IVA Vaginal Cancer

This trial studies how well magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) works in treating participants with human papillomavirus (HPV) associated stage IB2-IV cervical or stage II-IVA vaginal cancer. Using MRI guidance during brachytherapy applicator placement may improve treatment planning in participants with cervical or vaginal cancer.
