Abscopal Effect of SBRT in Combination With rhGM-CSF and INF-α 2b for Metastatic Thymic Epithelial Tumors

Phase 2
Conditions
Thymic Epithelial Tumor
Interventions
Drug: rhGM-CSF,Peginterferon alfa-b2,radiation
Registration Number
NCT04517539
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Cancer Hospital, China
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) combined with recombined human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(rhGM-CSF) and Peginterferon alfa-2b is safe, effective in the treatment of patients with metastatic thymic epithelial tumors.

SBRT+GM-CSF+INF-αbrhGM-CSF,Peginterferon alfa-b2,radiationMetastasis 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.
