Background: Small cell lung cancer and PARP inhibitor resistant tumors are aggressive cancers. Current treatments for people with these tumors yield little benefit. Researchers want to see if a combination of drugs can help. Objective: To find a safe combination of sacituzumab govitecan and berzosertib and to see if this will cause small cell lung cancer and PARP inhibitor resistant tumors to shrink. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with a solid tumor, small cell lung cancer, or a homologous recombination-deficient cancer that is resistant to PARP inhibitors Design: Participants will be screened with: Standard clinical exams and tests EKG to test the heart Medical documentation to confirm cancer diagnosis Participants will get sacituzumab govitecan by vein on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle. They will get berzosertib by vein on days 2 and 9. Treatment will continue as long as they can tolerate the drugs and their tumors are either stable or getting better. Before treatment and at least once per cycle, participants will have a physical exam and blood tests. Before treatment and every 2 or 3 cycles, they will have a CT scan. They will have a contrast agent injected into a vein for the scan. Participants will give blood and hair samples and tumor biopsies for research. Biopsies will be taken with a small needle under imaging guidance. After they stop treatment, participants will have a visit 1 month later. They will then be contacted by phone or email every 3 months for the rest of their lives.
The purpose of this research study is to see if a specific kind of MRI can identify small and otherwise undetected abnormal lymph nodes in patients with thyroid cancer who are undergoing surgery. The MRI is called Ultra-Small Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Magnetic Resonance Imaging (USPIO MRI), and uses an experimental contrast agent (ferumoxytol), to try to identify these lymph nodes. The MRI uses magnetic waves to take images (pictures) of the body and is commonly used in medical testing. Ferumoxytol is FDA approved as an iron replacement product for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adult patients with chronic kidney disease. In this research study, the investigators want to see if Ferumoxytol will help to identify very small metastases that are not usually seen on standard MRI scans. If the use of USPIO MRI with the experimental agent ferumoxytol identifies very small metastases in lymph nodes, your surgeon may decide to remove them. After the surgery, the nodes will be stored and then analyzed to assess the ability of USPIO MRI and ferumoxytol to detect cancer in very small metastases in the lymph nodes.
