Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT04731610Recruiting
Radiation after thymoma surgery versus watchful waiting
This trial compares two approaches after complete surgical removal of stage IIb or III thymoma: targeted radiation (conformal post-operative radiotherapy) or no further treatment right away (surveillance). It aims to see whether adding radiation lowers the risk of the cancer coming back without causing unacceptable side effects.
CaenAges 18–75 - NCT06924619RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before surgery for advanced thymoma
This trial tests giving radiation therapy before surgery for a type of thymus gland tumor (thymoma) that has grown into nearby tissues but has not been treated yet. The goal is to see if this approach can make the tumor removable and improve outcomes.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - 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 - 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 - NCT06301945Recruiting
AI tool for thymus tumors
This study is using an artificial intelligence tool to help doctors better predict how thymus tumors (thymoma and thymic carcinoma) will behave. It may help guide decisions about treatment and follow-up.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges Any age - 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 - NCT06730308RecruitingPhase 2
Steroids with chemoradiation for thymoma that can't be removed
This trial tests if adding a steroid (methylprednisolone) to standard chemotherapy and radiation helps people with thymoma that cannot be fully removed by surgery or has come back. The goal is to see if this combination works better at controlling the disease.
Guanzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06838910RecruitingPhase 2
Tislelizumab and anlotinib for thymus cancer after first treatment
This study tests a combination of two drugs (tislelizumab and anlotinib) as a second treatment option for people with thymoma or thymic carcinoma whose cancer has worsened after first-line therapy. It aims to see if this combination can control the tumor and improve outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT02633553Recruiting
Radiation after surgery for stage II or III thymoma
This trial looks at adding radiation after a complete surgery to remove a thymoma (a tumor from the thymus) at stages II or III. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back by treating leftover microscopic disease after surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07598955RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK Cell Therapy for Relapsed Thymoma or Thymic Carcinoma
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy called CAR-NK cells, which are designed to fight thymoma or thymic carcinoma (cancers of the thymus gland) that has come back or stopped responding to prior treatments. The goal is to see if these engineered cells can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT04182984Recruiting
Compare immunosuppressant medicines for eye-only myasthenia gravis
This real-world study looks at how different immunosuppressant medicines work for people with non-thymoma ocular myasthenia gravis (eye symptoms due to MG). It may help doctors understand which treatments control symptoms best in everyday care.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT05214612Recruiting
Predictors of outcomes in myasthenia gravis
This study looks at what helps predict outcomes in people with myasthenia gravis (MG). It may help doctors better forecast how MG will progress and which factors matter most for recovery and long-term health.
AsyutAges 16 years+ - NCT06186726RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon ion radiation with chemo for thymic cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation (carbon ion) plus chemotherapy for thymic tumors that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination can effectively treat the cancer while protecting healthy organs.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06248515RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan for advanced thymic cancer
This trial tests a drug called sacituzumab govitecan for people with advanced thymic cancer (thymoma or thymic carcinoma) that has not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or slow the growth of the cancer.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT01950572Recruiting
Biopsy study to learn about mesothelioma and related cancers
This study collects tissue samples (biopsies) and health information to better understand malignant mesothelioma and certain related solid tumors that may produce a protein called mesothelin. It may help future research and treatments, and you can only join if your diagnosis is confirmed and it’s safe for you to have the tissue taken.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thymoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 20 recruiting thymoma 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 thymoma 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 thymoma 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.
