Recruiting studies
- NCT06692062Recruiting
Hypofractionated radiation for thymoma and thymic carcinoma
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation (hypofractionated radiotherapy) for people with thymoma or thymic carcinoma. It aims to see if fewer, larger doses of radiation are safe and effective for treating these tumors.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT02146170Recruiting
Blood and tissue collection study for several lung and chest cancers
This study collects tissue (and follows patients over time) to better understand the natural course of several types of chest cancers. It may help researchers learn which tests and treatments work best in different cancer types.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05667948Recruiting
Testing targeted treatments for thymus cancer using tumor testing
This trial studies people with thymus (thymic) cancers that have been confirmed by tissue testing. It uses tumor “molecular” (biologic/genetic) test results to guide treatment options and see how well they work.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05104736RecruitingPhase 2
PT-112 for thymus gland tumors after prior chemotherapy
This trial studies PT-112, a new treatment, in people with thymoma or thymic carcinoma that has grown despite at least one prior platinum chemotherapy treatment. It may help shrink tumors or slow disease progression, especially when surgery is not possible.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06402708RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy after surgery for thymic cancer
This trial tests whether additional chemotherapy after surgery can help prevent thymic cancer from coming back. It is for people who have had their thymus tumor completely removed and are in good health.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06019468RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery Treatment for Advanced Thymic Cancer
This trial tests a new treatment given before surgery for people with advanced thymic carcinoma. It aims to shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07181720RecruitingPhase 1
CD70-targeted CAR-T therapy for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called CAR-T that targets a protein called CD70 on cancer cells. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to or cannot tolerate standard treatments.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT01385722Enrolling by invitation
Molecular testing for cancers in the chest
This study looks at the genetic changes (molecular analysis) in certain cancers of the chest. It may help doctors learn more about what drives these cancers and how they might be diagnosed or treated in the future.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03295227RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab for thymus cancer that cannot be removed
This trial studies pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy medicine, in people with thymoma or thymic cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is, including whether your immune system can help control the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05354570RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for thymic cancer that has spread to lung lining
This Phase 2 study tests a precise type of chest radiation that targets cancer in the lung lining (pleura) while trying to protect healthy lungs and organs. It may help people with thymic cancer that has spread to the pleura, including cases that return after prior treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–79 - NCT04522687Recruiting
Blood lymphocyte changes studied during radiation and chemotherapy for lung cancers
This study looks at how a type of white blood cell in your blood changes while you receive radiation and chemotherapy. The goal is to see whether these blood changes relate to treatment, especially in certain chest (thoracic) cancers.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06980077RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab for advanced thymic carcinoma
This trial tests a new drug called ivonescimab for thymic carcinoma that has come back or isn't responding to other treatments. It aims to see if this drug can shrink the cancer and help you feel better.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06141369Recruiting
Personalized mRNA vaccine for advanced endocrine tumors
This trial tests a personalized mRNA vaccine made from your tumor's genetic information. It is for people with advanced endocrine tumors who have no standard treatment options left, and aims to help the immune system fight the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07132918RecruitingPhase 2
Heart-Sparing Radiation for Thoracic Cancers
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation for cancers in the chest area (like lung, esophageal, or thymus cancers) that aims to protect the heart from high doses of radiation. It is for people who need daily radiation for at least three weeks and who are expected to live more than a year.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05558644Recruiting
Study immune and tumor features in thymus tumors
This study looks at what immune cells and tumor biology are like in localized thymic epithelial tumors. It may help doctors better understand the disease using samples taken during planned thymus surgery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07072143Recruiting
Study on children with rare tumors
This study is looking at children and teens with very rare tumors to learn more about these conditions and improve future care. It aims to gather information from patients treated at participating centers.
Padova, ItalyAges birth–18 years - NCT05832827RecruitingPhase 2
First treatment combo for thymic cancer using pembrolizumab plus drugs
This Phase 2 study tests a first (initial) treatment combination of pembrolizumab with three other drugs (carboplatin, paclitaxel, and lenvatinib) for advanced or recurrent thymic carcinoma. It aims to shrink tumors and improve control of the cancer when standard chemotherapy has not yet been tried for your situation.
Chūō, TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT07691619RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter radiation after surgery for thymus cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy (hypofractionated) after surgery for people with Stage II or III thymoma or thymic cancer. The goal is to prevent the tumor from coming back.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06523582Recruiting
Genetic study of neuroendocrine tumors in Mexican patients
This study aims to find genetic causes of neuroendocrine tumors in Mexican patients. By understanding your DNA, researchers hope to improve diagnosis and treatment for people with these rare conditions.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT04745949RecruitingPhase 2
Testing first-line antibody plus immunotherapy for mediastinal lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of antibody therapy and immunotherapy (plus standard chemo) as first treatment for primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. It may help shrink the lymphoma and improve how long patients stay in remission.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05633615RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drug options after CAR T for aggressive lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding or switching drug treatments after CAR T-cell therapy can improve outcomes for people with certain aggressive lymphomas that have come back or did not respond. It mainly looks at who remains disease-stable/partly improved after CAR T and what treatment approach works best next.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thymic cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 21 recruiting thymic cancer 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 thymic cancer 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 thymic cancer 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.
