Single-arm, multicenter, phase II study of immunotherapy in patients with type B3 thymoma and thymic carcinoma previously treated with chemotherapy - (Nivothym)
EU CTIS ID: 2023-508658-24-00
What this study is testing
To assess PFS rate (PFSR) at 6 months in patients treated with nivolumab or the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab, with relapsed/advanced thymic carcinoma and type B3 thymoma not amenable to curative-intent radical treatment and previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy
- Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)
A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Relapsed/advanced thymoma B3 or thymic carcinoma not amenable to curative-intent radical treatment
- Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min (according to Cockroft-Gault, see below); -Female CrCl = ((140 - age in years) x weight in kg x 0.85)/ 72 x serum creatinine in mg/dL; -Male CrCl = ((140 - age in years) x weight in kg x 1.00)/72 x serum creatinine in mg/dL
- Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to the first dose of study treatment
- Patients of childbearing / reproductive potential should use adequate birth control measures, as defined by the investigator, during the study treatment period and for at least 5 months for a woman and 7 months for a man after the last study treatment.
- Female patients who are breast feeding should discontinue nursing prior to the first dose of study medication and must not breast feed during the trial treatment and for a period of at least 5 months following the last administration of trial drug(s)
- Before patient registration, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations.
You likely can't join if
- Any evidence of active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are clinically stable (i.e. without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to enrollment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), and have not received steroids (for a total equivalent dose of more than 10 mg of prednisone per day) for at least 7 days prior to enrollment
- Autoimmune paraneoplastic syndrome requiring immunosuppressive or dedicated treatment. Particular attention should be given to detecting any minor myasthenia signs or positive autoantibodies at enrollment
- History of any other hematologic or primary solid tumor malignancy, unless in remission for at least 5 years. pT1-2 prostatic cancer Gleason score < 6, superficial bladder cancer, non melanomatous skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix are allowed
- Previous allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant
- Active infection requiring therapy
- Surgery or chemotherapy related toxicity that have not resolved to a grade 1, with the exception of alopecia, fatigue, neuropathy and lack of appetite /nausea

What rules you out
- Any evidence of active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are clinically stable (i.e. without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to enrollment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), and have not received steroids (for a total equivalent dose of more than 10 mg of prednisone per day) for at least 7 days prior to enrollment

- History of any other hematologic or primary solid tumor malignancy, unless in remission for at least 5 years. pT1-2 prostatic cancer Gleason score < 6, superficial bladder cancer, non melanomatous skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix are allowed
- Previous allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant
- Active infection requiring therapy
- Surgery or chemotherapy related toxicity that have not resolved to a grade 1, with the exception of alopecia, fatigue, neuropathy and lack of appetite /nausea
- Severe comorbidities that in the opinion of the investigator might hamper participation to the study and/or treatment administration
- Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
- Prior treatment with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1/2, anti-CD137, CTLA-4 modulators
- Presence of acetylcholine receptor antibodies
- Current participation in any other clinical research or treatment with an investigational agent or use of an investigational device within 4 weeks of enrollment
