Filter by:According to the existing literature reports, the misdiagnosis rate of CT is as high as 22% - 68%. Thymic cyst and lymphoma are usually misdiagnosed as thymoma, resulting in many unnecessary operations; In addition, traditional imaging technologies can also cause a missed diagnosis rate of about 7%, which is common in the missed diagnosis of asymptomatic thymoma, which delays the opportunity of treatment. Therefore, in order to accurately treat thymic tumors, the existing diagnostic methods of thymic tumors need to be further optimized. Our previous retrospective study found that the level of IL-8 + initial T cells can well distinguish thymoma from other types of anterior mediastinal tumors, and the sensitivity and specificity are close to 95%.
This study aims to characterize the clinical features, frequency of different subgroups of MG, and identify predictors of treatment responsiveness among different subgroups of MG. The predictors are including primary outcome (percentage of changes in MG scales at baseline at time of enrollment and after 3 months) and secondary outcome (treatment-related adverse events). Also it aims to determine the frequency of patients with refractory MG. This information will be used to understand the trends and mechanisms of disease relapse, and optimal management strategies.
To confirm the safety and performance of the da Vinci SP Surgical System, Instruments and Accessories in pulmonary lobectomy, and in thymectomy procedures.
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 on days 1, 8, and 15 of 28-day cycles. 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. 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 for the rest of their life.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and perioperative outcomes of the subxiphoid approach versus the lateral intercostal approach thoracoscopic thymectomy for Masaoka-Koga I-II thymoma.
The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from varying cancers and biopsy formats.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of the study drug KN046 in patients with advanced thymic carcinoma who progressed after prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
This is a multicentre non-randomized phase II study of proton beam radiotherapy in patients with thymic epithelial tumours (i.e. thymoma and thymic carcinoma) in the post-operative setting or in inoperable patients with localized disease. Patients not willing or for any reason unsuitable to undergo proton treatment will be asked to participate in a follow-up assessment after the regular photon treatment in the same manner as the included patients. Primary endpoints are:Toxicity (e.g. cardiac and pulmonary toxicity) and Local control at 5 year Secondary endpoints: PFS, Overall survival, Quality of life, measured by EORTC QLQ 30 + LC 13 and relapse pattern
The primary objective of the study : to compare the Recurrence-Free survival (RFS) between arms. RFS is defined as time from randomisation to the first recurrence (either local-regional or distant) or death of any cause.
This is a multicentric, open-label, single arm phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib in pre-treated thymic carcinoma patients who have progressed after at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced disease without having received any previous immunotherapy (previous bevacizumab allowed, but not sunitinib), and not amenable to curative-intent radical surgery and/or radiotherapy, regardless of PD-L1 status.
