What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • rhGM-CSF,Peginterferon alfa-b2,radiationDrug

    Radiation:

    If there are two measurable lesions totally, One lesion received radiotherapy for 30 Gy in 5 fractions and rested for one week; If there are three measurable lesions totally, two lesion received radiotherapy for 30 Gy in 5 fractions separately.

    drug: Patients were injected subcutaneously rhGM-CSF 125mg/m2 per day from day1 to day 14, every three weeks, concurrent with radiotherapy. Peginterferon alfa-b2 90 ug in d8 in each cycle.

    And the 1 month after the end of all radiotherapy courses, 4 weeks as a course of treatment, once per course of treatment, each dose is 90μg until desease progress.

SBRT+GM-CSF+INF-αbExperimentalMetastasis lesion will be treated with a SBRT of 30Gy/5F from day 1 to day 5 . Injection of Immunological Agenthuman recombined granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (125ug/m² per day) will be executed from day 1 to day 14 in this cycle.Subcutaneous injection of Peginterferon alfa-b2(90ug) will be executed in day8. Another metastasis lesion will be treated likewise concurrently with rhGM-CSF in a consecutive cycle. Injection of Peginterferon alfa-b2(90ug) will be executed in day8 of this cycle.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

    The proportion of patients with an abscopal response assessed after the initiation of treatment

    Measured: up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression free survival

    From the date of enrollment to the date of progression or death

    Measured: up to 60 months

  2. Overall survival

    From the date of enrollment to the date of death or last follow-up

    Measured: up to 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing rhGM-CSF,Peginterferon alfa-b2,radiation in people with Thymic Epithelial Tumor, run by Shanghai Cancer Hospital, China at 1 site in China.

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 10 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 MIN FAN (+862164175590, fanming@fudan.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The abscopal effect rate (time frame: up to 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Aug 2020.
