Filter by:This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of QBS10072S in patients with advanced or metastatic cancers with high LAT1 expression. The MTD of QBS10072S will be confirmed in patients with relapsed or refractory grade 4 astrocytoma.
This is a Phase 1, multiple dose, ascending dose escalation study to define a MTD/RD and regimen of XmAb20717, to describe safety and tolerability, to assess PK and immunogenicity, and to preliminarily assess anti-tumor activity of XmAb20717 in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors.
This study aims to investigate the clinical activity of sunitinib in patients with advanced thymic carcinoma who have failed chemotherapy.
This is a single arm, single-stage, phase II trial to evaluate the activity of Regorafenib in patients with metastatic solid tumors (pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, sarcoma, thymoma (type B2 - B3) and thymic carcinoma, who have progressed after standard therapy.
A research study of the drug amrubicin in patients with cancer of the thymus (thymoma or thymic carcinoma). We hope to learn whether this drug is an effective and safe treatment for thymic cancers.
Background: - Cisplatin-containing chemotherapy is the standard treatment for advanced tumors of the thymus that cannot be removed surgically. - New treatment options are needed for patients with advanced tumors of the thymus that do not improve with cisplatin-containing therapy. - Belinostat is a drug that inhibits enzymes called histone deacetylase. Histone deacetylase inhibitors have shown promising activity in many cancers and may be useful in treating patients with thymic tumors. Objectives: -To assess the safety and effectiveness of belinostat for treatment of malignant thymic tumors in patients who failed after standard treatment. Eligibility: -Patients 18 years of age or older with an advanced thymic tumor that has progressed after treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy. Design: - Patients receive belinostat treatment in 21-day cycles. The drug is given as an infusion through a vein during days 1 through 5 of each cycle. Treatment cycles continue as long as the medicine is tolerated and the cancer does not worsen. - Patients have a physical examination and several blood tests during every cycle. - Patients have an electrocardiogram every cycle before starting the belinostat infusion and again on the last day of the infusion. - Patients undergo computed tomography (CT) or other imaging test, such as ultrasound or MRI, every two cycles to evaluate the response of the tumor to treatment. - Tumor tissue obtained from a previous biopsy is used for research purposes.
This study is important to demonstrate if single agent activity is noted for patients with thymic tumors over expressing c-kit and/or PDGF. If this current trial is positive, it opens the door to evaluate other combination of drugs with imatinib in thymic tumors.
To study the efficacy of Alimta as a single agent in thymic cancers
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of carboplatin combined with paclitaxel in treating patients who have advanced thymoma.
RATIONALE: Umbilical cord blood transplantation may be able to replace cells destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of umbilical cord blood transplantation in treating patients who have hematologic cancer or other hematologic or metabolic diseases.
