Clinical Trial Summary

Given the high expression of IGF-1R and pAKT proteins in thymoma tissues, able to sensitize tumors to mTOR inhibition, and the anticancer activity of the mTOR inhibitors, clinical evaluation in thymoma and thymic carcinoma seems to be very interesting. Patients will receive continuous treatment with oral everolimus 10 mg once daily. Efficacy and safety profile of Everolimus will be evaluated.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients will receive continuous treatment with oral everolimus 10 mg once daily. Study drug will be self-administered orally (two 5 mg tablets) daily in a fasting state or with a light fat-free meal. Each cycle will be considered as 21 days of treatment; safety was assessed every 21 days. Tumor assessement will be done every two cycles. Treatment should be administered until documented disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient refusal. ;
