Enrollment

53 participants

Start Date

Apr 6, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Background: There are no approved drugs to treat recurrent thymoma and thymic carcinoma. New therapies are needed for people with these cancers. Researchers want to see if the drug PT-112 can help. PT-112 kills cancer cells. It also helps the body s immune system fight cancer. Objective: To see if the study drug PT-112 can cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have thymoma or thymic cancer and whose disease returned or progressed after treatment with at least one platinum-containing chemotherapy, or who have refused standard treatment. Design: Participants will be screened with: Review of medical history and medications Physical exam Blood and urine tests CT or MRI scans of parts of the body, including the brain Participants will get PT-112 in 28-day cycles, on days 1 and 15 of of the first cycle and on day 1 of each cycle after that. They will get the drug by infusion through a catheter. The catheter is a small plastic tube put into a vein. On days they receive the drug, participants will have physical exams and blood and urine tests. They will have an ECG to test heart function on day 1 of each cycle. Participants will have scans every 8 weeks. Participants may choose to have tumor biopsies on day 1 of cycles 1 and 3. Biopsies may be guided by an ultrasound or CT scan. Participants will continue treatment as long as they can handle the side effects and their disease does not get worse, for up to 8 years. Participants will have follow-up visits 2 weeks and 4 weeks after they stop therapy. Then the study team will check on participants every 3 months until 8 years after the participant joined the study.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing PT-112, a new type of platinum-based drug, in people with thymoma or thymic carcinoma (rare cancers of the thymus gland) that have not responded to or have progressed after standard treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with thymoma or thymic carcinoma, confirmed by biopsy - You have already received at least one prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen - Your cancer has progressed and cannot be surgically removed - You are 18 years or older in adequate general health (ECOG 0–2) - You have measurable disease that can be tracked on scans **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have not received prior platinum-based chemotherapy (unless you declined for documented reasons) - Your disease remains surgically removable - Your organ function does not meet required minimums - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
