* STRATUM I: Did not have progressive disease or induction failure requiring off-protocol therapy including hematopoietic cell transplantation
* STRATUM I: Must not have been diagnosed with any subsequent malignancy that required additional cardiotoxic therapies (i.e., radiotherapy to the chest \[also includes fields directed towards the neck, upper abdomen, or spine\], or additional anthracyclines or anthraquinones); patients with history of subsequent malignancy that did not require such therapies remain eligible
* STRATUM I: All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent
* STRATUM II: Among leukemia and lymphoma patients randomized to + or - DRZ on P9404, P9425, P9426, and DFCI 95-01 (high risk patients only) who have relapsed or have experienced a subsequent malignancy that precludes eligibility since their original diagnosis, the study committee will review the available data (both from Children's Oncology Group's \[COG?s\] Statistics and Data Center \[SDC\] and the participating institution) to determine if individual patients are to be selected for Stratum 2; in recognition that local institutions sometimes have more updated relapse/subsequent cancer data than SDC, in cases where local data is more updated, local data will be used preferentially; the study will petition the Institutional Review Board (IRB) specifically for a waiver of consent to include any relapse and subsequent cancer data obtained from existing records for analysis of the secondary aims; patients selected for Stratum 2 will be those for whom late relapse or subsequent cancer is reported but who lack clear confirmation in existing records (either at SDC or at the local institution)

* Comparison subject must have institutional records (e.g., clinic note, treatment summary, chemotherapy roadmap) documenting lifetime receipt of 450 to 600 mg/m\^2 of doxorubicin (doses within 10% are acceptable); this includes initial therapy as well as any subsequent therapy for relapse or second cancer, if relevant; as such, comparison subjects who have had osteosarcoma relapse or subsequent malignancies remain eligible so long as they meet all other eligibility criteria
* No anthracycline or anthraquinone aside from doxorubicin was ever given as part of initial or subsequent therapies
* No exposure to DRZ at any point in time

* Participants involved in another clinical trial;
* Pregnant women (known pregnancy) or POSITIVE human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test measures (urine/blood) for women of 18-50 years of age.
* Any other significant disease with expected life expectancy \<12 months (i.e., evidence of irreversible severe brain injury) or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the participants at risk because of participation in the trial, or may influence the result of the trial, or the participant's ability to participate in the trial.

CLEOPATTRA: A Research Study to Look at the Effects of Treatment With a Medicine Called Coramitug (NNC6019-0001) in People With Heart Failure Due to Transthyretin Amyloid (ATTR) Amyloidosis (CLEOPATTRA)
Novo Nordisk - clinicaltrials@novonordisk.com
NCT07207811
Inclusion Criteria:
* Male or female.
* Age 18 years or above at the time of signing the informed consent.
* Have an established diagnosis of ATTR-CM (wild-type ATTR \[ATTRwt\] or variant ATTR \[ATTRv\]), with cardiac amyloid infiltration, increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickness, and HF.
Note: Target ATTRv recruitment is approximately 15 percent of the study population.
a. Cardiac amyloid infiltration demonstrated by: i. Cardiac biopsy positive for TTR amyloid, OR ii. Grade 2 or 3 cardiac uptake at pyrophosphate (PYP)/diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid (DPD)/ hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (HMDP) nuclear medicine imaging with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or SPECT/CT (preferably) combined with an extracardiac biopsy positive for TTR amyloid, OR iii. Grade 2 or 3 cardiac uptake at PYP/DPD/HMDP nuclear medicine imaging with SPECT or SPECT/CT (preferably) combined with normal serum free light chain ratio, and negative serum and urine protein electrophoresis with immunofixation (SPIE \& UPIE)/or mass spectrometry based methods including mass fixation).
Notes:
* Non-invasive diagnostic pathway will be confirmed by a centralised expert review.
* Bone tracer nuclear medicine imaging with SPECT or SPECT/CT (preferably) will be conducted using 99m-technetium (Tc)-labelled pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP), 99mTc-labelled 3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid (99mTc-DPD), or 99mTc-labeled hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (99mTc-HMDP).
* The eGFR adjusted acceptable serum free light chain ratio.
* Patients with Grade 2 or 3 cardiac uptake at PYP/DPD/HDMP nuclear imaging with SPECT or SPECT/CT (preferably) and evidence of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS; based on serum and urine protein electrophoresis and serum free light chains) will require endomyocardial biopsy with typing using mass spectrometry or immunohistochemistry to confirm presence of TTR protein in tissue.
* Timing of serum free light chain ratio, SPIE, UPIE and mass spectrometry-based methods including mass fixation should be within 12 months of SPECT or SPECT/CT nuclear imaging.
b. Increased LV wall thickness, as assessed by centralised review of echocardiography, showing interventricular septal wall thickness greater than or equal to 12 millimeter (mm).
c. Chronic HF (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class I-IV): i. At least 1 documented hospitalisation for HF, OR ii. History of HF manifested by signs or symptoms of volume overload or elevated intracardiac pressures (e.g., elevated jugular venous pressure, shortness of breath, signs of pulmonary congestion on x-ray or auscultation, or peripheral oedema that required or requires ongoing treatment with a diuretic).
* Expected to be on stable cardiovascular medical therapy (defined as no greater than 50 percent dose adjustment and no categorical changes of medications), with the exception of diuretics, 4 weeks prior to the randomisation visit.
* Completed more than 50 meters on the 6MWT at screening.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Known or suspected hypersensitivity to study intervention(s) or related products.
