Anti-tumor antibiotic
PT-112 for Thymic Cancer
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Bethesda, Maryland
This trial is testing a drug called PT-112 to see if it can shrink tumors in adults with thymoma or thymic cancer that has come back or gotten worse after other treatments. PT-112 kills cancer cells and helps the immune system fight the cancer. The study will monitor patients' responses and side effects.
Bifunctional Fusion Protein
Bintrafusp Alfa for Thymic Cancer
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Bethesda, Maryland
This trial is for people with thymoma or thymic cancer whose disease returned or progressed after treatment with at least one platinum-containing chemotherapy treatment plan. The objective is to see if bintrafusp alfa (M7824) is an effective treatment.
Platinum-based Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy +/− Ramucirumab for Thymic Cancer
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Anchorage, Alaska
This trial is testing whether adding ramucirumab to standard chemotherapy helps treat advanced thymic cancer better than chemotherapy alone. It targets patients whose cancer has spread, returned, or can't be surgically removed. The chemotherapy drugs kill or stop the growth of cancer cells, while ramucirumab blocks tumor growth signals. Ramucirumab has shown positive results in combination with paclitaxel for advanced gastric cancer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
