Filter by:A multicenter open-label phase 1/1b study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of SO-C101 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with selected advanced/metastatic solid tumors
This trial studies the accuracy of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in imaging the inside of the chest in patients with thymoma that is newly diagnosed or has come back. An MRI scan may be able to detect if and how far the tumor has spread more accurately than a standard computed tomography (CT) scan.
This is a multicentric study. All patients with TET (thymic epithelial tumors) of any histological type will participate in the study. This is an open-label phase 2 study that will follow a Green-Dahlberg 2-stage design whose objective is to evaluate the activity and safety of the combination of ramucirumab (10 mg / kg) + carboplatin (AUC 5) and paclitaxel (200 mg / m2) in patients with relapsed and / or metastatic thymic carcinoma/ thymoma B3, in the first line (RELEVENT trial).
This phase II study was to assess the efficacy and toxicity of hypofractionated radiotherapy (HRT) combined with weekly docetaxel/platinum and thymosin α1 in patients with unresectable or recurrent thymic epithelia tumors (TETs).
The aim of the phase II Nivothym study is to collect data on activity and toxicity of nivolumab therapy in patients with thymic carcinoma or type B3 thymoma that previously received a first platinum-based chemotherapy.
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.
Background: - Sunitinib is drug that is approved for treating various types of cancers, including kidney cancers. However, it has not been approved to treat cancers of the thymus. Sunitinib works by blocking proteins that are responsible for cell division and growth. Some of these proteins can be found on thymus cancer cells. Researchers want to see if sunitinib can be used to treat advanced thymus cancer. It will be given to people who have had at least one earlier chemotherapy treatment containing platinum. Objectives: - To see if sunitinib is a safe and effective treatment for advanced thymus cancer that has not responded to earlier treatments. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have advanced thymus cancer that has not responded to earlier treatments. - At least one previous cancer treatment must have been chemotherapy treatment containing platinum. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Imaging studies and tumor biopsies will be used to check the severity of the cancer. - Participants will take sunitinib tablets once a day, in the morning. They will take the tablets daily for 4 weeks, followed by 2 weeks of rest with no sunitinib. This 6-week period is called a cycle. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. - Treatment cycles may be repeated as long as the tumor does not continue to grow and there are no severe side effects....
The main purpose of this study is to find out the good and the bad effects that the combination of cetuximab with the traditional chemotherapy regimen of cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide has when given to patients with later stage thymoma or thymic carcinoma before surgery. The physicians will also look at changes in genes in the tumor that may relate to the effectiveness of cetuximab
Background: - Cisplatin-containing chemotherapy is the standard of care for advanced thymoma and thymic carcinoma that cannot be treated with surgery. New options for treatment are necessary in patients with advanced thymoma and thymic carcinoma that have progressed on cisplatin-containing therapy. - IMC-A12 is a new (experimental) agent that has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. IMC-A12 blocks the Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R). IGF-1R is found on many types of cancer cells, including cancer of the thymus, and is thought to play an important role in helping these cells to grow and divide. Objectives: - To determine if IMC-A12 has an effect on tumor growth in patients with cancer of the thymus. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of IMC-A12 in treatment for cancer of the thymus. Eligibility: - Individuals older than 18 years of age who have cancer of the thymus (thymoma, thymic carcinoma, or thymic carcinoid tumors) that has progressed in spite of standard treatment. Design: - Treatment will take place in 21-day cycles. Patients will receive one dose of IMC-A12 intravenously once every 3 weeks at the Clinical Center. During the Clinical Center visits, researchers will perform study tests and procedures to see how the study drugs are affecting the body. - Patients will undergo a number of tests and procedures during the treatment cycle, including physical examinations, blood and urine samples for standard tests, imaging studies (ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans) to evaluate tumor growth, and blood and urine samples to evaluate the amount of IMC-A12 in the body. - Patients may continue to take the drug as long as there are no adverse side effects and as long as the tumor does not grow.
