A Study to Compare Two Surgical Procedures in Individuals With BRCA1 Mutations to Assess Reduced Risk of Ovarian Cancer
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare the non-inferiority of bilateral salpingectomy (BLS) with delayed oophorectomy to bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer among individuals with deleterious BRCA1 germline mutations. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To prospectively assess estrogen deprivation symptoms in pre-menopausal BLS patients as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Endocrine Symptom (FACT-ES) subscale compared to pre-menopausal patients in the BSO arm. II. To determine if health-related quality of life (QOL) (FACT) is negatively impacted by menopausal symptoms (menopausal symptom checklist-Menopausal Symptom Checklist [MSCL]) and sexual dysfunction (Female Sexual Function Index [FSFI]) in pre-menopausal patients who have undergone BLS, in comparison to normative data (MSCL/FACT-ES) and data from pre-menopausal BSO patients. III. To determine if health-related QOL (FACT) is negatively impacted by cancer distress (Impact of Event Scale [IES]) in individuals who have undergone BLS, in comparison to BSO patients. IV. To assess medical decision making, as measured by the Shared Decision Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-9) and Decision Regret Scale (DRS), and determine factors associated with the risk of reducing surgical treatment choice. V. To assess adverse events, graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Sexual dysfunction, as measured by selected Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) screener and external sexual function items (pre-menopausal patients). II. To estimate the cost-effectiveness of BLS compared to BSO for ovarian cancer risk reduction. III. To assess medical decision making, as measured by the Risk-Reducing Medical Decision Making (RR-MDM) survey, a targeted set of questions on risk reducing surgical treatment choice. TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: I. To bank tissue and blood biospecimens for future research. OUTLINE: Patients choose between 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: Patients undergo bilateral salpingectomy. Patients may then undergo oophorectomy after initial surgery. GROUP II: Patients undergo bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Patients in both groups also undergo a pelvic or transvaginal ultrasound during screening and blood sample collection throughout the trial. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 10-60 days, 6, 12, and 24 months, and then annually for up to 20 years.

cfDNA Assay Prospective Observational Validation for Early Cancer Detection and Minimal Residual Disease
This is an observational case-control study that includes individuals with cancer and individuals without known cancer. All participants will have clinical follow-up after enrollment. A subset of individuals with cancer will also have longitudinal blood sampling to evaluate the ability of the genome-wide methylome enrichment platform to detect minimal residual disease. This includes individuals with Stage I-III breast, colorectal, lung, or prostate cancer (Tier 1 Cancers). At baseline, all participants will provide a blood sample and applicable clinical data. Participants with a Tier 1 cancer will have clinical follow-up and blood draws after the completion of first-line treatment, every 3 months for the first year after first-line treatment, and every 6 months for an additional 2 years. All other cases will have clinical follow-up once a year for 3 years after enrollment. Control participants will have clinical follow-up every 6 months for up to 3 years from enrollment to evaluate cancer status. The blood test to be used in this study is a highly sensitive, epigenomic-based genome-wide methylome enrichment platform. The assay includes bisulfite-free, non-degradative genome-wide DNA methylation profiling from small quantities of cell-free DNA (cfDNA). Libraries constructed from cfDNA are enriched for methylated CpGs and preserve the native fragment length. This is followed by high throughput sequencing. For all assays, samples from participants with cancer and participants without cancer will be run together to reduce batch effects using methodology determined by the Sponsor. Results from the liquid biopsy test will not be returned to clinicians or participants.

Lung-MAP: A Master Screening Protocol for Previously-Treated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Primary Objective of the Master Protocol (LUNGMAP) The primary objective of this screening study is to test patient specimens to determine eligibility for participation in the biomarker-driven and non-matched sub-studies included within the Lung-MAP umbrella protocol. Secondary Objectives 1. Screening Success Rate Objective To evaluate the screen success rate defined as the percentage of screened patients that register for a therapeutic sub-study. Screen success rates will be evaluated for the total screened population and by the subset of patients screened following progression on previous therapy or pre-screened on current therapy. 2. Translational Medicine Objectives 1. To evaluate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and compare to the FMI Foundation tissue molecular profiling results in patients who submit a new biopsy for screening. 2. To establish a tissue/blood repository. Ancillary Study S1400GEN Objectives The Lung-MAP Screening Study includes an ancillary study evaluating patient and physician attitudes regarding the return of somatic mutation findings suggestive of a germline mutation. Participation in this study is optional. 1. Primary Objective To evaluate patient attitudes and preferences about return of somatic mutation findings suggestive of a germline mutation in the Lung-MAP Screening Study. 2. Secondary Objectives 1. To evaluate Lung-MAP study physician attitudes and preferences about return of somatic mutation findings suggestive of a germline mutation in the Lung-MAP Screening Study. 2. To evaluate Lung-MAP patients' and study physicians' knowledge of cancer genomics. 3. To evaluate Lung-MAP patients' and study physicians' knowledge of the design of the Lung-MAP Screening Study. 4. To explore whether physician and patient knowledge of cancer genomics and attitudes and preferences about return of genomic profiling findings are correlated.

Crizotinib in Treating Patients With Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Been Removed by Surgery and ALK Fusion Mutations (An ALCHEMIST Treatment Trial)
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate whether adjuvant therapy with crizotinib will result in improved overall survival (OS) for patients with stage IB >= 4 cm, II and IIIA, ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following surgical resection. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate and compare disease-free survival (DFS) associated with crizotinib. II. To evaluate the safety profile of crizotinib when given in the adjuvant therapy setting. III. To collect tumor tissue and blood specimens for future research. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM A: Patients receive crizotinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM B: Patients undergo observation. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months if < 4 or 5 years from study entry, and every 12 months if 5-10 or 6-10 years from study entry.

Safety and Preliminary Effectiveness of BNT327, an Investigational Therapy for Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer in Combination With Chemotherapy Following Chemoimmunotherapy
If the dose level (either from Part 1A or 1B) seems tolerable, an internal review committee will decide if the study can proceed to Part 2 and enroll additional participants. Study participants will receive BNT327 in combination with docetaxel until disease progression, the occurrence of intolerable toxicity, study participant withdrawal, death, study termination or 2-year limit (whichever comes first). After completion of study treatment, except for participants who withdraw informed consent, a long-term follow-up will be conducted for all participants to record disease progression, subsequent new anticancer treatments, and survival status.
