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 (closedcurrently recruitingupcoming) 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

Study of ISM6331 in Participants With Advanced/​Metastatic Malignant Mesothelioma or Other Solid Tumors

August 23, 2024

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, FIH study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), PK/PD, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of ISM6331 in participants with advanced or metastatic malignant mesothelioma or other solid tumors. The study consists of two parts, a dose escalation part (Part 1) and a dose selection optimization part (Part 2).

Sintilimab, Bevacizumab, Pemetrexed, and Cisplatin for Unresectable MPeM

August 9, 2024

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

August 2, 2024

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.

Ga-68 FAPI PET Before Immunotherapy (FAPBI)

June 14, 2024

It is aimed to evaluate FAP expression and its success in predicting treatment response before immunotherapy used in the treatment of malignant mesothelioma with Ga68 FAPI PET/CT imaging, which allows in vivo evaluation of FAP expression, which is thought to be associated with immunosuppression and resistance to immunotherapy.

A Study of VET3-TGI in Patients With Solid Tumors (STEALTH-001)

June 7, 2024

VET3-TGI is an oncolytic immunotherapy designed to treat advanced cancers. VET3-TGI has not been given to human patients yet, and the current study is designed to find a safe and effective dose of VET3-TGI when administered by direct injection into tumor(s) (called an intratumoral injection) or when given intravenously (into the vein) both alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with solid tumors (STEALTH-001).

Study of Cadonilimab Combined With Chemotherapy in Recurrent /​ Refractory Pleural Mesothelioma

May 17, 2024

This is a multicenter, single-arm, phase II clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Cadonilimab combined with gemcitabine, or vinorelbine, or pemetrexed in the treatment of patients with recurrent / refractory pleural mesothelioma.

Methoxyamine, Cisplatin, and Pemetrexed Disodium in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Mesothelioma That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery or Mesothelioma That Is Refractory to Pemetrexed Disodium and Cisplatin or Carboplatin

April 26, 2024

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of methoxyamine when given together with cisplatin and pemetrexed disodium and to see how well it works in treating patients with solid tumors or mesothelioma that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with standard treatment (advanced), or mesothelioma that does not respond to pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin or carboplatin (refractory). Methoxyamine may shrink the tumor and may also help cisplatin and pemetrexed disodium work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and pemetrexed disodium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving methoxyamine together with cisplatin and pemetrexed disodium may be a better treatment for solid tumors or mesothelioma than methoxyamine and pemetrexed disodium.

A Study of Oral 7HP349 (Alintegimod) in Combination With Ipilimumab Followed by Nivolumab Monotherapy

April 12, 2024

This study is an open-label Phase Ib (Part A) dose escalation followed by a blinded, randomized, multi cohort Phase 2a (Part B) comparison of combination vs. reference regimens.

Currently study will only be enrolling the Phase 1b and the Phase 2a protocol requirements will be added to the study near completion of the Phase 1b

A Phase 1a/​1b Study of ACTM-838 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

March 28, 2024

This is a first in human (FIH) 2-part study using ACTM-838 in patients with advanced solid tumors resistant to standard of care treatment. Part 1a will evaluate dose escalation and Part 1b will evaluate dose expansion.
