New hope for rare cancer: drug duo tested after chemo fails

NCT ID NCT04710628

Summary

This study tested whether combining two existing cancer drugs, pembrolizumab and lenvatinib, could help control advanced thymic cancer that had worsened after standard chemotherapy. It enrolled 43 adults whose cancer could not be cured by surgery or radiation. The main goal was to see if the combination could stop the cancer from growing for at least 5 months while monitoring side effects.
