简要总结
To study the efficacy of Alimta as a single agent in thymic cancers
详细描述
The broad range of clinical activity of thymic carcinomas makes the likelihood of detecting efficacy of a single agent such as premetrexed a reasonable objective since these malignancies are relatively slow growing and exhibit a broad range of chemosensitivity to antineoplastic agents.

入选标准
- •Histologically confirmed invasive, recurrent or metastatic thymoma or thymic carcinoma not amenable to potentially curative therapy by surgery. Original biopsy of tumor is sufficient for diagnoses unless otherwise clinically indicated.
- •Patients must have measurable disease with at least one bidimensional measurable lesion. Any scans or x-rays used to document measurable disease must be obtained with 6 weeks prior to registration.
- •Patients may have had prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease
- •Adequate organ function as defined by: bili </=1.5; calc. crt clr of >/=45; hematologic-granulocytes >/=1500 & plt >/=100K.
- •Patients who are receiving a stable dose of corticosteroids for myasthenia gravis are eligible.
- •ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
排除标准
- •Acute intercurrent infection or complications
- •pregnancy or lactating patients
- •Inability to interrupt aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents for a 5-day period (8-day period for long-acting agents.
- •Presence of clinically relevant third-space fluid collections that cannot be controlled by a procedure
研究组 & 干预措施
Pemetrexed
Pemetrexed infusion once every 21 days (one cycle).
干预措施: Premetrexed (Alimta) (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Objective Response Rate (Complete and Partial Response)
时间窗: Up to 3 years
The percent of patients having an objective response (complete or partial response) will be estimated with a 95% exact binomial confidence interval for the percent of patients receiving drug. RECIST v1.0 will be used. At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions in reference to the baseline longest diameter will need to take place to be considered an objective response.
次要结局
- Duration of Remission(Time from the date of remission until progression or death, assessed up to 3 years)
- Grade 3/4 Treatment Related Adverse Events(Up to 3 years)
