Filter by:For patients with unresectable or recurrent disease, radiation is routinely administered, often in combination with systemic chemotherapy. However, because of wide range of radiation, more complications of conventional radiotherapy limit its treatment dose. The local recurrence rates of conventional radiotherapy are dissatisfied.Stereotactic body radiation therapy(SBRT) well solved the problem above. On the one hand, by improving the single dose, it not only shortens the total radiation treatment, but also increases the total dose of equivalent biological effects.
Background: Thymoma and thymic carcinoma are cancers originating in the thymus gland. Platinum-based chemotherapy is standard treatment for them. But not uncommonly, the disease returns and people need more treatment to keep the cancer from growing. The drug Avelumab could help the immune system fight cancer. Objective: To test if avelumab is safe and well-tolerated, and is effective in treating relapsed or refractory thymoma and thymic carcinoma. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with thymoma or thymic carcinoma that has returned or progressed after platinum-containing chemotherapy Design: Participants will be screened with: - Blood, urine, and heart tests - Scan: They lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. - Physical exam - Medical history - Biopsy: a needle removes a piece of tumor. Samples can be from a previous procedure, although it is desirable to undergo a new biopsy. Participants will have treatment in 2-week cycles. They will continue until the side effects are not tolerable or their disease gets worse. Visits at the following time points are required per protocol. Patients who respond to treatment or have durable stability after at least 12 months of therapy may undergo a dose de-escalation regimen to continue on therapy. - Every 2 weeks: Participants will get avelumab by infusion in a vein (IV). They will get diphenhydramine (benadryl) and acetaminophen (tylenol) by mouth or IV before receiving avelumab to decrease the chances of developing a reaction to avelumab. They will have blood, urine, and heart tests periodically. - Cycles 4 and 7, then every 6 weeks: Scans will be performed to look for shrinkage or growth of tumor. - Cycle 4: Participants will be offered a chance to undergo a biopsy. - 2-4 weeks after stopping treatment: Blood, urine, and heart tests will be performed. Participants might undergo a scan. - 10 weeks after stopping treatment: Blood, urine, and heart tests. - About 6 months after stopping treatment, then every 3 months: Participants will have scans andcan allow genetic testing on their blood and tissue samples.
This study will determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) for oral bosutinib when used in combination with pemetrexed. The MTD is the highest dose of bosutinib with pemetrexed that can be given without causing severe side effects. This study will also test the safety of this combination and see what effects (good or bad) it has on participants and their cancer.
Initially investigators will find LncRNA which to be able to affect Notch2 signaling pathway; then confirm the relationship between Notch2 and LncRNA, and analysis the regulation mode of LncRNA to Notch2 signaling pathway, and to observe the correlation between LncRNA and thymoma complicated with autoimmune diseases.
This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for limited advanced unresectable thymoma or thymic carcinoma.
This study is designed to investigate whether adjuvant radiotherapy after complete resection has a better survival for stage II or III thymoma.
This study is designed to investigate whether adjuvant radiochemotherapy after incomplete resection has a better survival than adjuvant radiotherapy for thymoma or thymic carcinoma.
This study aims to investigate the clinical activity of sunitinib in patients with advanced thymic carcinoma who have failed chemotherapy.
This phase II trial studies how well ribociclib works in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors of the foregut, which includes the thymus, lung, stomach, and pancreas, that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced tumors). Ribociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is a non-randomized clinical trial in patients with thymic carcinomas who failed prior systemic therapy. All subjects will receive pembrolizumab and epacadostat treatment in three week cycles until unacceptable toxicity, death, progressive disease or withdrawal.
