Trial Information

Phase II Study Of Carboplatin Plus Paclitaxel Treatment Of Advanced Thymoma Or Thymic Carcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the objective response rate in patients with advanced thymoma or thymic
carcinoma treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel.

- Determine the duration of response in these patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive paclitaxel by intravenous (IV) infusion over 3 hours followed by
carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in
the absence of disease progression. Patients achieving complete or partial remission or
stable disease receive 4 additional courses of therapy for a maximum of 6 courses. Further
treatment may be given at the discretion of the treating physician.

Patients were followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then
annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35-68 patients were to be accrued for this study within
3.8-4.6 years.

carcinoma not amenable to potentially curative therapy by surgery

evidence of recurrence

chemotherapy allowed if disease-free survival prior to recurrence was more than 1
year
