- NCT04223466Recruiting
Surgery to remove the thymus using two different approaches
This trial compares two ways of surgically removing the thymus: a camera-assisted approach through the chest versus an approach through an opening under the breastbone. It may help people with thymus tumors or certain types of myasthenia gravis when medicines alone have not worked well.
Jinan, ShandongAges 20–80 - NCT06029621Recruiting
Robot vs camera surgery for thymoma
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for thymoma: one using a robotic system and the other using a tiny camera (VATS). Both aim to remove the tumor with smaller cuts and faster recovery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06545409Recruiting
Nerve block for pain relief in robotic thymus surgery
This trial tests a nerve block to reduce pain after robotic thymus surgery. It may help patients with thymus growths or cysts have less pain and use fewer painkillers after their operation.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07019857Recruiting
Thymus removal and immunity in infant heart surgery
This study looks at how removing the thymus gland during infant heart surgery affects the immune system. It compares babies who have their thymus removed with those who have heart surgery without removing it, and with babies having other types of surgery.
NantesAges Up to 6 months - NCT07761026Recruiting
Living with myasthenia gravis: share your experience
This 10-year study collects information from people with myasthenia gravis to learn more about the condition and improve care. By sharing your experiences, you can help researchers understand what daily life is like and shape future treatments.
Framingham, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06617741Recruiting
Global Registry for Myasthenia Gravis Patients
This trial is a global registry for people with myasthenia gravis (MG). It collects information to help researchers better understand MG and improve care.
Westborough, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06671639Recruiting
Stanford program to speed up robotic surgery for children
This trial tests a faster, robotic-assisted surgery for children ages 6 to 21. It aims to see if completing part of the operation using a robot can be as safe and effective as traditional open surgery, possibly leading to quicker recovery and less pain.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 6–21 - NCT07416201Recruiting
Study of Immune System Aging in Down Syndrome
This study is looking at how the immune system changes over time in people with Down syndrome, and how it may be affected by removal of the thymus gland. The goal is to understand why people with Down syndrome may age faster or have different immune health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–120

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thymectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 8 recruiting thymectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a thymectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a thymectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
