New hope for rare chest cancer? trial tests adding a targeted drug to chemo

NCT ID NCT03694002

Completed Disease control Sponsor: SWOG Cancer Research Network Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested if adding a targeted drug called ramucirumab to standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) works better for people with advanced thymic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It involved 21 patients who were randomly assigned to receive either the standard chemo alone or the chemo plus ramucirumab. The main goal was to see if the three-drug combination could keep the cancer from growing for a longer period of time.
