New treatment option for Thymoma
Official title A Phase II Trial of Sacituzumab Govitecan in Patients With Advanced Thymic Epithelial Tumors
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06248515
What this study is testing
What is Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy?
Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for thymoma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- 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?
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
