Summary

This trial aims to see how sacituzumab govitecan-hziy affects adult patients with advanced thymoma and thymic carcinoma who have not responded to previous treatments. Patients will

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced thymoma or thymic carcinoma who have already tried at least one treatment without success. Participants will receive ongoing cycles of a drug called Sacituzumab Govitecan, given through the vein once weekly on specific days, and will be monitored regularly.
What is being tested?
The trial tests Sacituzumab Govitecan's effectiveness in treating advanced thymoma and thymic carcinoma. The key measure is the overall response rate to this medication after previous treatments failed. Patients get fixed doses over continuous 21-day cycles until they can't tolerate it or their disease gets worse.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Sacituzumab Govitecan include nausea, fatigue, hair loss, decreased blood cell counts leading to higher infection risk or bleeding problems, diarrhea, and allergic reactions during infusion.
