| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thymic Epithelial Tumor | Experimental | For thymoma: Neoadjuvant treatment stage: Toripalimab 240mg, q3w, i.v., 2-4 cycles; platinum-based chemotherapy (Carboplatin AUC 5, Amycin 50mg/m2, Cyclophosphamide 500mg/m2) q3w, i.v., 2-4 cycles, then receive chest CT evaluation. Surgery stage: the patients will receive radical surgery after the neoadjuvant treatment. Adjuvant treatment stage: the patients who did not receive 4 cycle therapy will receive 1-2 cycles therapy up to 4 cycles in total, the following therapy is according to the NCCN guidelines. For thymic carcinoma: Neoadjuvant treatment stage: Toripalimab 240mg, q3w, i.v., 2-4 cycles; platinum-based chemotherapy (Cisplatin 50mg/m2, Paclitaxel 200mg/m2) q3w, i.v., 2-4 cycles, then receive chest CT evaluation. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Safety: frequency of severe adverse events | The frequency of severe adverse events from the participants enrolling to 30 days after the last drug administration or 30 days after surgery or new anti-cancer therapy, which comes first. | up to 5 months |
| Major pathologic response (MPR) | MPR is defined as the proportion of participants who have achieved major pathologic response (on routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, tumors with no more than 10% viable tumor cells) in all participants who have completed the neoadjuvant therapy before surgery. | up to 4 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Objective response rate (ORR) | It refers to the proportion of patients who have had a complete response or partial response (according to RECIST1.1) as confirmed by CT evaluation after 3 weeks in all patients who have completed the neoadjuvant therapy. Only patients with measurable lesions at baseline will be analyzed. | up to 4 months |

| Disease-free survival (DFS) |
It refers to the time from radical surgery to relapse or death of a participant due to disease progression. In the case of a patient who still survives at the time of analysis, the latest evaluation date will be used for interpolation (censoring). |
| up to 60 months |
| Overall survival (OS) | It is defined as the time from enrollment to death of participant due to any cause. In the case of a patient who still survives at the time of analysis, the date of last contact will be taken as the censoring date. In the event of a patient with the survival status unknown, the date when the patient is last known to be alive will be used for interpolation (censoring). | up to 60 months |
| Health related quality of life (HRQol) | The assessment is made according to the Quality of Life Scale for Lung Cancer Patients (EORTC-QLQ-C30 & LC13, Version 3). EORTC's QLQ-C30 & LC13 (V3.0) is a core scale for lung cancer patients, with a total of 43 items. Among them, Item 29 and 30 are divided into seven grades, which are assigned with 1 to 7 scores according to the answer options. The other items are divided into 4 grades: Not at All, A Little, Quite a Bit, and Very Much, assigned with 1 to 4 scores respectively. The higher score, the worse quality. | up to 6 months |
