• Patients who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive are eligible if:

• Cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ cell count greater or equal to 250 cells/mm^3
• If patient is on antiretroviral therapy, there must be minimal interactions or overlapping toxicity of the antiretroviral therapy with the experimental cancer treatment; for experimental cancer therapeutics with cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4) interactions, protease inhibitor therapy is disallowed; suggested regimens to replace protease inhibitor therapy include dolutegravir given with tenofovir/emtricitabine; raltegravir given with tenofovir and emtricitabine; once daily combinations that use pharmacologic boosters may not be used
• No history of non-malignancy acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining conditions other than historical low CD4+ cell counts
• Probable long-term survival with HIV if cancer were not present

• Any prior therapy, radiotherapy (except palliative radiation therapy of 30 Gy or less), or major surgery must have been completed >= 4 weeks prior to treatment on Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (NCI-MATCH) and patient must be recovered from adverse events due to prior therapy (except alopecia and lymphopenia); palliative radiation therapy must have been completed at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment on a NCI-MATCH treatment subprotocol and patient must have recovered from any adverse events of this therapy
• Patients with brain metastases or primary brain tumors must have completed treatment, surgery or radiation therapy >= 4 weeks prior to registration to Step 0
• Patients must have discontinued steroids >= 1 week prior to registration to Step 0; patients with glioblastoma (GBM) must have been on stable dose of steroids, or be off steroids, for one week prior to registration to Step 0
• Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL
• Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL
• Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
• NOTE: Patients with documented bone marrow involvement by lymphoma are not required to meet the above hematologic parameters, but must have a platelet count of at least 75,000/mcL and neutrophil count of at least 1,000/mcL
• Total bilirubin =< 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless documented Gilbert's Syndrome, for which bilirubin =< 3 x institutional ULN is permitted)
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 X institutional ULN (up to 5 times ULN in presence of liver metastases)
• Creatinine =< 2 x normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance >= 45 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
• Patients must have an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to registration to screening step and must have NONE of the following cardiac criteria:

• Mean resting corrected QT interval (QTc) > 480 msec obtained from 3 consecutive ECGs; it is recommended that there are 10-minute (+/- 5 minutes) breaks between the ECGs

• Check potassium and magnesium serum levels
• Correct any identified hypokalemia and/or hypomagnesemia and may repeat ECG to confirm exclusion of patient due to QTc
• For patients with heart rate (HR) 60-100 bpm, no manual read of QTc is required
• For patients with baseline HR < 60 or > 100 bpm, manual read of QT by trained personnel is required, with Fridericia correction applied to determine QTc

• No factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval

• ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR TREATMENT STEPS 1, 3, 5, and 7:

• Eligibility requirements for registration are outlined in the agent-specific subprotocol

• ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SCREENING STEPS 2, 4, 6, and 8:
• Patient's disease has progressed on the prior Step treatment or patient could not tolerate assigned treatment
• Patients must meet one of the following criteria:

• No response and progression occurred < 6 months from start of the prior Step treatment AND the latest NCI-MATCH assay results indicated > 1 targeted treatment AND (Screening Steps 4 and 6 only) a biopsy was performed at the prior Screening Step

• NOTE: Patients meeting these criteria will NOT be biopsied at this time point; instead, their Step 0 results will be re-interrogated to determine if another treatment is available

• OR (Screening Step 2) progression occurred after a (1) response OR (2) after >= 6 months from start of Step 1 treatment; patient must have tumor amenable to percutaneous biopsy and be willing and able to undergo a tumor biopsy for collection and submission of tissue for the central determination of the presence of one or more of the specific "actionable" mutations/amplifications of interest (aMOI); patient must have tumor amenable to image guided or direct vision biopsy and be willing and able to undergo a tumor biopsy for molecular profiling; biopsy must not be considered to be more than minimal risk to the patient
• OR (Screening Step 4) progression occurred on Step 3 treatment and a biopsy was not performed at Step 2 screening (due to presence of additional aMOIs at that stage); patient must have tumor amenable to percutaneous biopsy and be willing and able to undergo a tumor biopsy for collection and submission of tissue for the central determination of the presence of one or more of the specific "actionable" mutations/amplifications of interest; biopsy must not be considered to be more than minimal risk to the patient

• Patients must meet eligibility criteria for biopsy as defined above

• NOTE: A patient may have a maximum of 2 screening biopsies (not including re-biopsy due to assay failure), and 2 NCI-MATCH treatments per biopsy (if > 1 aMOI)

• REGISTRATION TO RESEARCH BIOPSY (Step 8)
• Patient has completed their most recent NCI-MATCH study treatment, will not undergo additional screening biopsies, and will receive no additional treatment on NCI-MATCH

• NOTE: If a 2nd Screening Biopsy was performed and showed no study-actionable abnormalities, no additional end of treatment biopsy is requested

• Patient's disease responded to the most recent NCI-MATCH study treatment and then progressed OR the disease progression is > 6 months since the last screening biopsy

Patient must have tumor amenable to percutaneous biopsy and be willing and able to undergo a tumor biopsy for collection and submission of tissue for research
