Sintilimab, Bevacizumab, Pemetrexed, and Cisplatin for Unresectable MPeM
To explore the efficacy and safety of sintilimab, bevacizumab combined with pemetrexed and cisplatin in the treatment of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, and to explore the biomarkers related to efficacy or safety.
New Preclinical and Clinical Approaches to Mesothelioma
This study protocol involves the coordination between UO1 (IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital) and UO2 (Istituto Nazionale Tumori di Napoli – IRCCS G. Pascale) to explore the role of HMGB1 and CXCR4 in cancer treatment and metastasis. UO1 focuses on the role of HMGB1 in inflammation, mesothelioma progression, and tissue repair, as well as developing, in future, possible HMGB1 inhibitors for cancer therapy. UO2 specializes in CXCR4’s role in cancer, developing CXCR4 antagonists, and tracking CXCR4-dependent metastasis. The hypothesis is that targeting HMGB1 and CXCR4 pathways will inhibit tumor progression and metastasis, enhancing anti-tumor immunity and improving therapeutic outcomes in cancer.
