Summary
This early-phase trial tests the safety and effectiveness of pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, in people with thymoma or thymic carcinoma that cannot be surgically removed.

About 37 adults with advanced thymus gland cancers will receive the treatment, and researchers will monitor side effects and how long the cancer stays under control.
