Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Radiotherapy Combined with GM-CSF

Radiation: Radiotherapy Combined with GM-CSF
Patients with stable or progressing metastatic thymic epithelial tumours, with at least two distinct measurable sites of disease, were treated with concurrent radiotherapy (35 Gy in ten fractions or 60Gy in 30 fractions) to one metastatic site and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (125 μg/m(2) subcutaneously injected daily for 2 weeks, starting during the second week of radiotherapy).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. The abscopal effect rate [up to 12 months]

    The proportion of patients with an abscopal response assessed after the initiation of treatment The proportion of patients with an abscopal response assessed after the initiation of treatment
