COMPLETED
Embedded Palliative Care in Managing Symptoms in Participants With Recurrent Stage III-IV Thoracic Malignancies and Their Caregivers
Description

This trial studies how well embedded palliative care works in managing symptoms in participants with stage III-IV thoracic malignancies that has come back and their caregivers. Embedded palliative care may improve distress and anxiety in participants and caregivers.

COMPLETED
Carboplatin and Paclitaxel With or Without Ramucirumab in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Thymic Cancer That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery
Description

This randomized phase II trial studies how well carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without ramucirumab work in treating patients with thymic cancer that has spread to other places in the body, has come back, or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ramucirumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known if giving carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without ramucirumab will work better in treating patients with thymic cancer.

RECRUITING
Pembrolizumab and Sunitinib Malate in Treating Participants with Refractory Metastatic or Unresectable Thymic Cancer
Description

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and sunitinib malate work in treating participants with thymic cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery and does not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and sunitinib malate may work better in treating thymic cancer.

COMPLETED
Octreotide With or Without Prednisone in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Thymoma
Description

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of octreotide alone or with prednisone in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent thymoma.

TERMINATED
Doxepin Hydrochloride in Treating Esophageal Pain in Patients With Thoracic Cancer Receiving Radiation Therapy to the Thorax With or Without Chemotherapy
Description

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies the effects of taking doxepin hydrochloride as compared to placebo (inactive drug) in treating esophageal pain in patients with cancer located in the chest area receiving radiation therapy to the thorax with or without chemotherapy. Doxepin hydrochloride is a tricyclic antidepressant drug which was recently shown to be helpful for mouth pain in patients receiving radiation therapy. Doxepin hydrochloride affects the surface of the esophagus, which may be helpful in reducing the pain caused by radiation therapy.

COMPLETED
Radiofrequency Ablation in Treating Patients With Refractory or Advanced Lung Cancer
Description

RATIONALE: Radiofrequency ablation uses high-frequency electric current to kill tumor cells. CT-guided radiofrequency ablation may be effective treatment for lung cancer. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation in treating patients who have refractory or advanced lung cancer.

COMPLETED
Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation in Treating Patients With Hematologic Cancer or Other Hematologic or Metabolic Diseases
Description

RATIONALE: Umbilical cord blood transplantation may be able to replace cells destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of umbilical cord blood transplantation in treating patients who have hematologic cancer or other hematologic or metabolic diseases.

TERMINATED
Study of Nanrilkefusp Alfa Alone and With Pembrolizumab in Adult Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors
Description

A multicenter open-label phase 1/1b study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of nanrilkefusp alfa as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with selected advanced/metastatic solid tumors

COMPLETED
MS-275 in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Lymphoma
Description

RATIONALE: MS-275 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of MS-275 in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma.
