Filter by:This trial studies how well embedded palliative care works in managing symptoms in participants with stage III-IV thoracic malignancies that has come back and their caregivers. Embedded palliative care may improve distress and anxiety in participants and caregivers.
Thymoma is the most common primary tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Complete surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment of these tumors. The staging and histological classification of thymoma is still a matter of discussion. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan parameters that correlate with histology, stage and prognosis also still have to be completely assessed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential association between clinical, radiologic and pathologic characteristics in patients submitted to surgical treatment for thymoma, assessing their prognostic value. Data of patients submitted to surgical resection for pathologically proven thymoma at our Department of Thoracic Surgery between January 2005 and December 2015 will be retrospectively reviewed. The correlation of preoperative CT scan features, histological and pathological characteristics of thymomas will be evaluated, assessing the prognostic role of these factors.
This is an investigational, single arm study.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multi-center, single arm study in subjects with advanced thymic carcinoma after failure of platinum-based combination chemotherapy. Subjects should have documented progressive disease while on platinum-based combination chemotherapy. If subjects discontinued platinum-based therapy due to reasons other than progressive disease, subjects should have completed at least 2 cycles of platinum-based combination chemotherapy before the commencement of documented progressive disease. Subjects will be treated with KN046 5 milligram per kilogram every 2 weeks.
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.
Background: Thymoma and thymic carcinoma are diseases of the thymus. Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment for these diseases. But in many cases, the disease returns after treatment. Researchers want to see if a new drug can help. Objective: To see if bintrafusp alfa (M7824) is an effective treatment for thymoma and thymic carcinoma. Eligibility: People age 18 and older who have thymoma or thymic cancer and their disease returned or progressed after treatment with at least one platinum-containing chemotherapy treatment plan. Design: Participants will be screened under a separate protocol. Their medical, medicine, and treatment history will be reviewed. They will have a tumor biopsy if they do not have a sample. Participants will get the study drug once every 2 weeks as an intravenous infusion. For this, a small plastic tube is put into an arm vein. During the study, participants will undergo the following: Medicine review Physical exam Review of their symptoms and their ability to perform their normal activities Blood and urine tests Thigh muscle scan (using MRI) Tumor assessment (using MRI or CT) Heart and lung function tests Thyroid gland test Skin assessment. Participants may have tumor biopsies. Some of their blood and biopsy samples will be used for gene testing. Participants may take the study drug until their disease worsens or they cannot tolerate treatment. Participants will have follow-up visits 2 and 6 weeks after stopping treatment. Then they will have long-term follow-up visits every 3 months. These may include imaging scans. Visits may be done by phone, with scans (if needed) done at their doctor s office.
This is a phase I study of 177Lu-DOTA-TATE in combination with the PARP-inhibitor olaparib for treatment of patients with somatostatin receptor positive tumours detected by 68Ga-DOTA-TATE/TOC PET. The combination of a PARP inhibitor that will specifically target the repair mechanism, with ionising radiation causing SSB's might overcome the repair dependent survival of the tumour cells, making them more sensitive to β-emission and increase the probability of tumour cell death.
To evaluate whether intraoperative pleural lavage with providone-iodine following complete resection and pleural reductive surgery for stage IVA thymoma reduces recurrent rates compared to surgery without providone-iodine lavage
This is a phase II, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study of the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab treatment in participants with advanced thymic carcinoma who failed prior systemic therapy.
The purpose of this study is to understand how genetics play a role in thymoma. Intratumoral heterogeneity is among the greatest challenges in precision cancer therapy. However, developments in high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) may now provide the statistical power to dissect the diverse cellular populations of tumors. This study aims to find out how it affects genetic and protein expression in patients with malignant thymoma, compared to Benign thymoma, at a single-cell level using a flow cytometry and RNA-sequencing protocol.
