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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and toxicity of adjuvant hypofractionation radiotherapy for thymic epithelial tumours after complete resection.
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.
LEVEL trial aims to demonstrate the higher efficacy of 177Lu-edotreotide over everolimus in patients with well to moderately differentiated neuroendocrine tumors of the lung and thymus who require systemic therapy. It is hypothesized that 177Lu-edotreotide may significantly increase the progression-free survival (PFS) compared to everolimus in lung and thymic carcinoids.
This is a single arm，open-label, multicentric, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KC1036 in patients with advanced recurrent or metastatic thymoma or thymic carcinoma.
Thymic malignancies are the most common tumors of the anterior mediastinum, though surgery and radiation often effectively treat thymic carcinomas, a minority continue to progress and eventually lead to death. Therefore, there is an unmet need for more effective therapies for thymic malignancies. Considering the role of molecular alterations has yet to be defined in the treatment of thymoma and thymic malignancies, there is an urgent recognition that molecular alterations in the thymic malignancies are important to predict response and survival for novel targeted therapies. In summary, identification of genetic alterations in thymic malignancies is increasingly essential to perform molecular diagnostics and individualized treatments. This project aims to create a registry of patients with thymic malignancies to further the characterization of molecular alterations and develop (novel) treatments based on the detection.
