Mesothelioma Clinical Trials
A mesothelioma diagnosis is a serious one, but it is not one without hope. There are a variety of treatments available, and a number of ongoing clinical trails.
Trial Status
We do our best to keep the current status (closed, currently recruiting, upcoming) of each clinical trial up-to-date. Several clinical trials are listed at ClinicalTrials.gov as "currently recruiting" despite the estimated completion date having been long past. The contact for a particular clinical trial is your best bet to discover if a particular clinical trial is still open and recruiting.
Glossary
To help you as you read through these clinical trials, we have glossary of terms and their definitions. Words underlined with a dashed line are part of the glossary; to see their definition, simply click on the word.
Clinical Trials
This study is to evaluate the overall survival (OS) rate (determined from the time of randomization in the study) Purpose: of subjects who receive dendritic cell immunotherapy with MesoPher plus best supportive care (BSC) compared to BSC alone.
This research study is studying a targeted therapy as a possible treatment for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with an EGFR mutation.
The names of the study drug involved in this study is:
– Osimertinib (Tagrisso)
Primary Outcome Measures Progression free survival [ Time Frame: 1 year ] To evaluate the efficacy of consolidation immunotherapy (Durvalumab) after durvalumab/Etoposide/cisplatin based-CCRT for LD-SCLC Secondary Outcome Measures Overall survival [ Time Frame: 1 year ] To evaluate the efficacy of consolidation immunotherapy (Durvalumab) after durvalumab/Etoposide/cisplatin based-CCRT for LD-SCLC Safety analysis (AEs according to CTCAE…
An open-label Phase I/II study, with a dose escalation part (Phase I) and a 2-arm randomized part (Phase II), in patients with recurrent SCLC.
This cohort study aims to investigate the clinical value of Hybrid APC for treatment of early central lung cancer.
Pemetrexed is a multi-folate inhibitor approved in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pleural mesothelioma. Its toxicity profile is mainly hematologic (anemia, neutropenia and thrombopenia) and can be limiting when > grade 2 according to NCI-CTCAE criteria. First clinical trials highlighted hematologic toxicity, especially anemia, which was reduced by decreasing pemetrexed dosage from 600 to 500 mg/m² Q3W and by adding systematic vitamin supplementation (B9/B12). Despite this, incidence of hematological toxicity remains frequent with anemia occurring in more than 20% of patients treated by pemetrexed in combination. The investigators aim to investigate the potential association between PPIs and pemetrexed combination and the incidence of hematological toxicity in a multicenter and prospective study.
To determine the efficacy of M7824 plus topotecan or temozolomide in relapsed SCLC.
Purpose: Pembrolizumab plus autologous dendritic cell vaccine in patients with PD-L1 negative advanced mesothelioma who have failed prior therapies.This is an exploratory, single-arm, open-label, phase 1b clinical trial.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of INCAGN02385 in participants with advanced malignancies.
Purpose: The drug olaparib may stop cancer cells from fixing damage to their DNA. It has been approved to treat certain cancers in people that were born with a mutation in the BRCA gene. It has not been approved for treating mesothelioma. But some people with mesothelioma have mutations in a gene, BAP1 related to BRCA. Researchers want to see if olaparib can work in patients with mutations in this gene. They also want to see if works on mutations in other genes or patients without any mutations. They want to see if olaparib causes mesothelioma tumors to shrink.
