This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab with or without ponatinib work in treating patients with CD22-positive B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia that is newly diagnosed, has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent), or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called ozogamicin. Inotuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD22 receptors, and delivers ozogamicin to kill them. Blinatumomab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Ponatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving inotuzumab ozogamicin and blinatumomab with or without ponatinib may be effective in treating patients with newly diagnosed, recurrent or refractory CD22 positive B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The Sponsor is studying an investigational medication called danicamtiv to determine if it can help people with genetic and familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Investigational means that the safety and effectiveness of danicamtiv have not been established. Currently, there are no approved drugs that are designed specifically to treat genetic or familial DCM. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well danicamtiv works compared to a placebo (sugar pill that looks like danicamtiv pill but does not contain any danicamtiv) and see how safe it is for people with genetic and familial DCM. In DCM, the heart muscle weakens and enlarges, making it harder for the heart to pump blood; this can happen for different reasons. Some people have DCM because of a change in a gene (called genetic DCM). Others may have DCM that runs in their family, even if no specific gene change is found (called familial DCM). The main goals of the study are: - To assess the effect of danicamtiv on cardiac function using echocardiogram. - To evaluate the impact of danicamtiv on exercise capacity - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of danicamtiv Participants will: - Take danicamtiv or placebo every day for approximately 6 months - Visit the clinic about 12 times for initial evaluation, checkups, tests and follow up

The aging Veteran population has more frequent inpatient hospitalization than non-Veterans. In addition, older Veterans have an inability to fully recover muscle mass and function after hospital-acquired weakness. The problem of hospital-acquired weakness is greatly increased in at-risk Veteran populations such as those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this collaborative study involving Denver and Baltimore VAMC sites is to improve health through the detection and rehabilitation management of hospital-acquired weakness in those with CKD. The study goals include identifying and monitoring the optimal muscle assessment sites in clinical settings, examining how muscle health impacts length of hospital stay and physical resilience, and determining how home-based and supervised exercise comparatively addresses post-hospitalization physical resilience using performance tests and Veteran feedback.

Chronic musculoskeletal pain has a highly negative impact on Veterans, especially those with serious mental illness (SMI). Chronic musculoskeletal pain leads to poorer mental and physical health-related functioning, representing a critical obstacle to rehabilitation and recovery for SMI Veterans. Despite known high prevalence rates of chronic pain in SMI populations, there is little research to evaluate nonpharmacological pain management strategies in this population. This study aims to address this research and clinical gap by testing the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP) - a VA evidence-based psychotherapy for chronic pain - in Veterans with SMI and chronic low back pain. The study will primarily evaluate the impact of CBT-CP on pain-related functioning, quality of life, and pain severity. This study will also examine relationships between pain and mental health symptoms, and how these relationships may change with CBT-CP completion.

This phase II/III trial compares the addition of nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab to paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with gastric or esophageal adenocarcinoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). 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. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Adding nivolumab to ramucirumab and paclitaxel may work better to treat patients with advanced stomach or esophageal cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib works in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with rare genitourinary (GU) tumors that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body. 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 and ipilimumab, 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, nivolumab, and ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with genitourinary tumors that have no treatment options compared to giving cabozantinib, nivolumab, or ipilimumab alone.

One in 10 Veterans have an alcohol use disorder. However, few Veterans receive evidenced-based psychosocial interventions or medications to treat alcohol use disorder. Barriers to receiving these treatments include long wait times, stigma, and long distances from treatment facilities. Even fewer Veterans receive psychosocial and medication interventions together, despite clinical practice guidelines recommending both and evidence of better outcomes. Expanding access to these treatments in primary care is a VA priority but delivering psychosocial interventions is difficult in this setting, and medication is often the only option. Smartphone apps that deliver alcohol interventions may improve drinking outcomes and ensure Veterans can receive both treatments in primary care. This study will determine whether medications and an app for alcohol use problems offered to Veterans in primary care results in improved drinking outcomes, compared to Veterans receiving medications only. Study data will inform how to spread the app across the VA nationally.
