About this study

RYTHMIC (Réseau tumeurs THYMiques et Cancer) is a French nationwide network for TET with the objective of territorial coverage by regional expert centers and systematic discussion of patients management at national tumor board.

Read the detailed description

RYTHMIC (Réseau tumeurs THYMiques et Cancer) is a nationwide network for TET appointed in 2012 by the French National Cancer Institute. The objectives of the network are management of clinical tumor boards and central pathologic review of all cases. RYTHMIC Tumor Board is based on initial histopathological diagnosis.

RYTHMIC is a comprehensive tool for research:

  • to improve the management of patients
  • to monitor dedicated actions
  • to screen patients for future translational and clinical trials

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thymic Epithelial Tumor, run by Intergroupe Francophone de Cancerologie Thoracique at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Franck Morin (contact@ifct.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

histological type (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02724696, which also lists 17 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 May 2023.
