Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the role of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with thymic carcinoma and completed resection. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does adjuvant chemotherapy decrease disease progression? 2. Does medium dose of three drugs (paclitaxel, cisplatin, 5-FU) well tolerance? Researchers will compare chemoradiotherapy to radiotherapy to see whether chemoradiotherapy could decrease disease progression or not. Participants will: 1. Take radiotherapy (50Gy/25f) with or without 4 cycles of chemotherapy (TPF). 2. Follow up every 3 months in the first two year, and then every 6 months.
Thymic epithelial tumors are rare neoplasms in the anterior mediastinum. The cornerstone of the treatment is surgical resection. Administration of postoperative radiotherapy is usually indicated in patients with more extensive local disease, incomplete resection and/or more aggressive subtypes, defined by the WHO histopathological classification. In this classification thymoma types A, AB, B1, B2, B3, and thymic carcinoma are distinguished. Studies have shown large discordances between pathologists in subtyping these tumors. Moreover, the WHO classification alone does not accurately predict the risk of recurrence, as within subtypes patients have divergent prognoses. The investigators will develop AI models using digital pathology and relevant clinical variables to improve the accuracy of histopathological classification of thymic epithelial tumors, and to better predict the risk of recurrence. In this multicentric and international project three existing databases will be used from Rotterdam, Maastricht and Lyon. For all models one database will be used to build AI models, and the other two for external validation. The ultimate goal of this project is to develop AI models that support the pathologist in correctly subtyping thymic epithelial tumors, in order to prevent patients from under- or overtreatment with adjuvant radiotherapy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effect of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy in adult patients with advanced thymoma and thymic carcinoma after progressing on at least one prior line of therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the overall response rate (ORR) in patients with advanced thymoma and thymic carcinoma? Participants will: - receive a fixed dose of 10 mg/kg given intravenously, once weekly on Days 1 and 8 of continuous 21-day treatment cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity - have regular blood tests, scans, and examinations to monitor their health. - have blood and a biopsy of their tumor for research purposes.
It is evidenced that efgartigimod can rapidly and significantly improve the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. The global multicenter clinical trials hace confirmed that efgartigimod is safe and well tolerated. Few case reports showed that perioperative efgartigimod combined with thymectomy was safe and feasible. However, there was no sufficient data on safety and efficacy of this regimen in the treatment for patients with myasthenia gravis and thymomas. Therefore, this trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative efgartigimod and thymectomy for patients with myasthenia gravis and thymomas.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and toxicity of adjuvant hypofractionation radiotherapy for thymic epithelial tumours after complete resection.
To observe the efficacy of carbon ion radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of inoperable locally advanced or advanced (all visible lesions can be included in the radiation target area in this treatment) primary thymic epithelial tumor who have no thorax radiotherapy histroy. The patients will receive 72GyE/18fractions of carbon ion radiotherapy. Combined with platinum-containing schemes (including etoposide combined with cisplatin or carboplatin or loplatin or nedaplatin, paclitaxel combined with cisplatin or carboplatin or loplatin or nedaplatin, etc.); Docetaxel combined with cisplatin or carboplatin or loplatin or nedaplatin) for at least 4 cycles. Progression-free survival, local control rate, overall survival and toxicity were calculated.
Chemokine receptor CXCR4 was expressed in T cells and CXCR4-targeting molecular imaging- 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT could be a promising technique to evaluate the extent of thymoma with higher accuracy. This prospective study is going to investigate whether metabolic characterization by 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT may be superior for diagnosis, distinguish evaluation for thymoma.
The aim of this study is to explore the advantages of robot-assisted thymectomy in long-term survival benefits and short-term clinical efficacy compared with video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy based on a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial.
The aims of this study are to verify the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of the combination of enrolizumab and radiotherapy for neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced thymic carcinoma, and to provide recommendations for the establishment of unified evaluation criteria for the neoadjuvant therapy of thymic cancer by evaluating the pathological remission status of thymic cancer specimens after neoadjuvant treatment.
Objective The main objective is to evaluate the haematological toxicity in patients who use pemetrexed with and without rescue therapy with folinic acid. Primary endpoint Difference between treatment groups in neutrophil count (*109/L) at day 8-10 after administration of pemetrexed (nadir). Secondary endpoints The grade neutropenia (according to the CTCAE version 5, 2017) at day 8-10, the homocysteine plasma levels at baseline (predictor for developing toxicity), the efficacy of chemotherapy treatment based on response CT after cycle 2 and 4 and the incidence of discontinuation, dose delays and dose reductions of pemetrexed. Trial design The FLEX-trial is a multi-centre, open label, double arm, randomized trial to compare neutropenia in patients with and without folinic acid rescue therapy where subjects are participating for 4 treatment cycles. Population In total 50 patients (25 in each arm), >18 years with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or mesothelioma treated with pemetrexed (in combination with other chemo- or immunotherapy) are eligible for inclusion. Interventions Follow-up will take place during the first 4 cycles of chemotherapy with pemetrexed. Patients in the intervention-arm will receive oral folinic acid orally 4 times 45mg / day for 3 days, starting 24 hours after the administration of pemetrexed.
