Consuelo Wilkins, MD, MSCI, Senior Vice President for Health Equity and Inclusive Excellence for Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) and Senior Associate Dean for Health Equity and Inclusive Excellence for Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, always knew she wanted to be a physician. "Health equity was built into everything I did, even if I didn’t know it or recognize it at the time," Wilkins said. "I have always learned and believed that people are the same — everyone deserves to be healthy, and everyone should have the best opportunities to take care of themselves and their families."

Vanderbilt was the lead site for an NIH-funded, phase 2, multicenter influenza vaccine study in pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) recipients that may lead to a change in the current flu vaccine recommendations in this vulnerable population. Natasha Halasa, MD, MPH and colleagues recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, that two doses of high-dose trivalent flu vaccine resulted in higher amounts of influenza-specific antibodies than two doses of standard dose quadrivalent vaccine.

Treosulfan-Based Conditioning Regimen before a Blood or Bone Marrow Transplant for the Treatment of Bone Marrow Failure Diseases (BMT CTN 1904)

Multiple Cancer Types

This phase II trial tests whether treosulfan, fludarabine, and rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) work when given before a blood or bone marrow transplant (conditioning regimen) to cause fewer complications for patients with bone marrow failure diseases. Chemotherapy drugs, such as treosulfan, 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. Fludarabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. rATG is used to decrease the body's immune response and may improve bone marrow function and increase blood cell counts. Adding treosulfan to a conditioning regimen with fludarabine and rATG may result in patients having less severe complications after a blood or bone marrow transplant.

Testing Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate in Patients with Somatostatin Receptor Positive Advanced Bronchial Neuroendocrine Tumors

Lung

This phase II trial studies the effect of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate compared to the usual treatment (everolimus) in treating patients with somatostatin receptor positive bronchial neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Radioactive drugs, such as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and may reduce harm to normal cells. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may be more effective than everolimus in shrinking or stabilizing advanced bronchial neuroendocrine tumors.

A First-in-human Study of PRTH-101 Monotherapy +/- Pembrolizumab in Subjects With Advanced Malignancies

The goal of this Open-Label Study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PRTH-101
alone or in combination with pembrolizumab in adults with advance or metastatic solid tumors.

Sparing Bone Marrow in Patients with Stage IIB-IV Lung Cancer, VMAT Trial

Lung

This phase II trial tests whether designing radiation to avoid bone marrow in the spine (vertebral bone marrow) leads to less reduction of white blood cell counts (lymphopenia) in patients with lung cancer. This sparing technique could lead to better disease control and outcome.

Evaluation of SNDX-5613 in Participants With Colorectal Cancer and Other Solid Tumors

Phase I

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-tumor
activity of SNDX-5613 in participants with colorectal cancer (CRC) or other solid tumors who
have failed at least 1 prior line of therapy.

Hypofractionated Radiotherapy followed by Surgery for the Treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Sarcoma

This phase II trial studies the effect of hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by surgery in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Giving hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by surgery may allow patients with sarcomas to be treated in a much more rapid and convenient fashion.

A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of TOS-358 in Adults With Select Solid Tumors

Multiple Cancer Types

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of TOS-358 in adults with select
solid tumors who meet study enrollment criteria. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. what is the maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose for phase 2?

2. how safe and tolerable is TOS-358 at different dose levels when taken orally once or
twice per day?

Dose Optimization and Expansion Study of DFV890 in Adult Patients With Myeloid Diseases

Hematologic

Study CDFV890G12101 is an open-label, phase 1b, multicenter study with a randomized two-dose
optimization part, and a dose expansion part consisting of two groups evaluating DFV890 in
patients with myeloid diseases. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety,
tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy and recommended dose for single
agent DFV890 in patients with lower risk (LR: very low, low or intermediate risk)
myelodysplastic syndromes (LR MDS) and lower risk chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (LR CMML).
