Direct Tumor Microinjection and FDG-PET in Testing Drug Sensitivity in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Hodgkin Lymphoma, or Stage IV Breast Cancer

Brief Summary
This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of direct tumor microinjection and fludeoxyglucose F-18 positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in testing drug sensitivity in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, or stage IV breast cancer that has returned after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Injecting tiny amounts of anti-cancer drugs directly into tumors on the skin or in lymph nodes and diagnostic procedures, such as FDG-PET, may help to show which drugs work better in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, or breast cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Incidence of drug sensitivity as measured by injection site skin reaction
Skin reactions will be assessed using the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) active version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) and will consist of any grade 3 or higher treatment-related pain, skin or subcutaneous tissue disorders. Incidence rates of skin reactions will be estimated by the number of patients with reactions divided by the total number of evaluable patients per disease type. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true incidence rate will be calculated.
Up to 3 months
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Feasibility
Up to 3 months
Nodal disease response rate
Up to 5 days post injection
Cutaneous response rate based upon the modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool score
Up to 7 days post injection
Incidence of adverse events
Up to 3 months
Other Outcomes (1)
Apoptosis in response to intratumoral injection
Up to 3 months
Study Arms (1)
Treatment (FDG-PET, direct tumor microinjection)
EXPERIMENTALPatients undergo FDG-PET and receive saline intralesionally on day 1. Patients also receive up to five additional injections of gemcitabine hydrochloride, romidepsin, belinostat, carfilzomib, copanlisib hydrochloride, nivolumab, trastuzumab, daratumumab, obinutuzumab, pembrolizumab, or rituximab intralesionally per investigator on day 1. Beginning 5 days later, patients with nodal/extranodal mass undergo restaging FDG-PET and biopsy (if clinically feasible). Within 3-7 days, patients with cutaneous disease undergo restaging photography and biopsy.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age \>= 18 years
- Histologically proven of relapsed or refractory
- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) nodal or extranodal mass OR
- Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) including mycosis fungoides (MF), as well as transformed MF OR
- Breast adenocarcinoma with nodal or cutaneous metastases (stage 4)
- NOTE: Patients must be refractory to or intolerant of existing therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit for their condition
- NOTE: The patient must not be a candidate for any curative therapy or any known life-prolonging therapy
- Cohort I: For nodal/extranodal mass, presence of lesions that are amenable for injections as determined by interventional radiology
- NOTE: Nodal or extranodal mass must be palpable and easily accessible; masses such as mediastinum, retroperitoneum, within solid organs, spinal sites, central nervous system (CNS) sites, etc., are NOT allowed
- Measurable disease:
- For nodal or extranodal disease (lymphoma or breast): must have at least 2 lesions that are \>= 20 mm (2.0 cm) in the longest diameter by physical exam and/or on cross-sectional imaging and measurable in two perpendicular dimensions per computed tomography PET-computed tomography (CT); For Cohort I, the lesions must be amenable to intralesional injections as determined by interventional radiology (including tumors that can be safely accessed using imaging guidance and treated with minimal risk to adjacent structures)
- For cutaneous lesions (lymphoma or breast): at least two visible, non-infected skin lesions that are greater than 1 cm and are amenable to intralesional injection as determined by investigator
- Candidate for further therapy and able to wait 7 days prior to start of next systemic therapy
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1000/mm\^3 (obtained =\< 14 days prior to registration)
- Platelet count \>= 50,000/mm\^3 (obtained =\< 14 days prior to registration)
- +5 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Any of the following:
- Pregnant persons
- Nursing persons
- Persons of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception
- Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens
- Systemic corticosteroids between pre-PET and post-PET evaluation and biopsy
- Prohibited treatments and or therapies
- Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) =\< 12 weeks prior to registration
- Prior chemotherapy =\< 2 weeks prior to registration
- Prior treatment with nitrosureas =\< 4 weeks prior to registration
- Therapeutic anticancer antibodies =\< 2 weeks prior to registration
- Radio- or toxin immunoconjugates =\< 4 weeks prior to registration
- Radiation therapy to the injected area =\< 2 weeks prior to registration
- Major surgery =\< 2 weeks prior to registration
- Receiving any other investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for the primary neoplasm
- +4 more criteria
