Active clinical trials for "Thymoma"

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

RATIONALE: Printed educational materials, such as the Facing Forward Series: Life After Cancer Treatment manual, may help make the transition from cancer patient to cancer survivor easier in patients who are finishing treatment for cancer. It is not yet known if the Facing Forward Series: Life After Cancer Treatment manual and The Cancer Information Service, Questions and Answers fact sheet is more effective than the The Cancer Information Service, Questions and Answers fact sheet alone in helping to make life after cancer treatment easier and to improve quality of life in patients with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, or chest cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well printed education materials work in assisting patients who are finishing treatment for stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, or chest cancer to make the transition from cancer patient to cancer survivor easier.

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.

The aim of the study is to determine the efficacy of selinexor in adults with TETs determined by overall response rate (RECIST 1.1) in two parallel cohorts of patients with advanced thymomas or thymic carcinomas. The study is an international, multicenter, open label phase II trial using Simons two stage design. The study population is adults with histologically confirmed, advanced, inoperable TETs who are progressing after treatment with least one platinum containing chemotherapy regimen. This study is comprised of 2 similar phase II tirals, one running in EU (25 patients) and one running in US (25 patients). There are two study arms: Arm A: Thymoma Stage 1: 15 patients Stage 2: 10 patients Arm B: Thymic carcinoma Stage 1: 15 patients Stage 2: 10 patients

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.

This an an open-label study to define the safety profile and the maximum tolerated dose and confirm the clinical effective dose of palifosfamide-tris given intravenously in combination with etoposide and carboplatin in a wide range of cancers which etoposide and carboplatin are normally given. Once the maximum dose of palifosfamide-tris is determined,a Phase II study using the 3 agents combined will begin.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether postoperative conformal radiotherapy are effective in the treatment of Masaoka stage II-III B type thymoma.

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.

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).

Background: - Imaging studies like positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) scans are used to detect tumor responses to cancer treatment. However, it may be difficult to detect early response to lung cancer or thymoma treatment with standard PET/CT scans. These scans cannot easily show a difference between remaining cancer cells and inflammation. Researchers want to try a new PET/CT scan tracer that may be able to show the difference between these cells. 18F-Fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) is better at showing which cells are still actively dividing. PET/CT scans with 18F-FLT may help show if tumor cells are responding to early stages of treatment. Objectives: - To see if 18F-FLT is a safe and effective imaging study tracer to show early cancer response to treatment. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who are being treated for lung cancer or thymoma. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood, urine, and tumor tissue samples will be collected. Participants will have two PET/CT scans on separate days before starting chemotherapy. One scan will be with a standard radiotracer. The other will be with the 18F-FLT tracer. About 2 weeks after starting chemotherapy, participants will repeat the two PET/CT scans on separate days. Additional blood samples will be collected at this time.
