Primary Outcome Measures Phase 1: [ Time Frame: 28 days ] To determine the MTD and dosing schedule of TNG908 Phase 2: [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] To assess anti-neoplastic activity of TNG908 in patients with MTAP-deleted advanced solid tumors by RECIST v1.1 Secondary outcome Measures Phase 1: [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] To assess preliminary evidence of anti-neoplastic activity of TNG908 in patients with…
Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly cancer of the mesothelium, which is a membrane that surrounds multiple organs including the lungs and abdomen. The best thing for patients after a mesothelioma diagnosis is treatment in the form of chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy, or multiple treatments together. This can be mentally and physically exhausting, so prehab and…
Primary Outcome Measures Safety and tolerability of IK-930 [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 36 months ] The frequency and severity, incidence of treatment-emergent and treatment-related adverse events using NCI-CTCAE v5.0 Occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicity during first treatment cycle [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 year ] RP2D and/or MTD of IK-930 [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 year ] Define the recommended phase 2…
Results from a new study involving a genetic therapy for pleural mesothelioma have been submitted at the University of Leicester. Researchers at the United Kingdom university designed a treatment to match specific genetic profiles to individual patients. There are promising results from the study, which had patients who received first line chemotherapy combined with either…
Primary Outcome Measures Phase 1: Number of Patients who Experience Dose-Limiting Toxicity [ Time Frame: 21 days ] Phase 1/1B: Number of patients who experience a treatment-related adverse event [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ] Phase 2: Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: 2 years ] Phase 2: Duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: 2 years ] Phase 2: Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 2 years ] Phase 2:…
Studies show that durvalumab and tremelimumab work very well together while treating mesothelioma. A phase I clinical trial was performed at the Baylor College of Medicine in conjunction with Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center. Durvalumab is an immunotherapy drug known as a PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor. It works by blocking the connection between T-cell receptors and…
Primary Outcome Measures Number of participants with adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), changes in laboratory values, vital signs and electrocardiogram (ECG) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to 30 days after the last dose of HFB200301 (each cycle is 28 days), assessed up to 3 years ] To determine a Recommended Phase 2 Dose…
An immune system boosting therapy could potentially be used to treat mesothelioma. For a long period of time, chemotherapy drugs have been the standard drug to fight mesothelioma, but researchers believe bevacizumab could change this and be used alongside standard mesothelioma treatments. Chemotherapy is popular with doctors, but chemotherapy drugs are cytotoxic, which means they…
A new study is showing how the tumor microenvironment helps mesothelioma progress and survive in the body. Mesothelioma tumors create a complex microenvironment surrounding themselves. The microenvironment is simply the area surrounding the tumors. The new study shows that the microenvironment that mesothelioma tumors create assists cancer initiation and progression. Scientists are trying to figure…
Italian researchers believe that lung sparing surgery can improve survival in mesothelioma patients, even when surgeries are more conservative. Pleurectomy and decortication is the surgery that spares the lungs. It is less comprehensive than the surgery that removes the lungs, which also makes it less dangerous to patients. Doctors at the Venice-Mestre hospital have found…
