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 is a single arm, prospective, interventional, multicenter phase 2 study of the combination of niraparib and dostarlimab in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and/or malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), and positive for PD-L1 expression (TPS ≥ 1%) and germline or somatic mutations in the DNA homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes.
This phase I trial studies the effect of stereotactic body radiation therapy and immunotherapy in treating patients with mesothelioma. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy and immunotherapy may improve the tumors response to the treatment and decrease side-effects.
Primary Outcome Measures Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Baseline to the date of first documented progression or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy or approximatively 9 months after the last participant receive first dose. ] Objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of participants who have a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), derived based…
Primary Outcome Measures Number of Patients with Dose-limiting Toxicities [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 28 Days ] A DLT is defined as an AE that meets at least one of the criteria listed in protocol, according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) common terminology criteria for AE (CTCAE) version 5.0, and is considered by the investigator to be clinically…
Primary Outcome Measures Number of patients with adverse events and serious adverse events [ Time Frame: 3 years ] Safety and tolerability of IAG933 Incidence of dose limiting toxicities during the first treatment cycle (dose escalation only) [ Time Frame: 1 year ] Safety, tolerability and the maximum tolerated dose or recommended dose of IAG933 Number of patients with dose interruptions and dose…
Primary Outcome Measures Pre-treatment Prognostic Algorithm Validation [ Time Frame: 4 years ] The primary objective is to utilize a novel prognostic algorithm to predict the outcome of MPM patients. This algorithm includes 4 different tests: molecular, radiological, and blood based. It will be performed on 240 prospectively-collected samples. A score of 0-4 will be assigned to each patient…
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare pleural cancer, which could be primary or secondary to an asbestos exposure. To enhance our knowledge of this rare disease, an exploration of genetic and tumor mechanism is mandatory. One of the principal difficulty is to harvest sufficient tumour pieces to perform multi-omics analysis. The goal of the SCITH-MESO study is to harvest larges pieces of tumour during a routine surgical procedure of MPM diagnosis by mean of pleural biopsies during VATS surgery. Operating samples will increase a tissue bank collection (CRB).
The purpose of the Dielectrics Properties of Thoracic Malignancies Study (DPTMS) is to provide a wealth of knowledge for investigators involved in establishing a new and effective treatment for a variety of solid tumors using tumor treatment fields. It is intended to provide biospecimen (tumor/healthy) together with demographic data (age, sex, race, occupational history, and other epidemiologic information), and clinical data (stage, treatment, survival information, and annotated CT’s). Our specific aims are to test the following hypotheses: 1) Electric properties of thoracic tumors differ from electric properties of surrounding healthy tissue 2) Different tumor types will have different electric properties 3) Electric properties of individual tumors are heterogeneous 4) Electric properties of tumors are related to the structure and composition of the underlying tissue 5) Use of standard medical imaging data (CT) will permit mapping of electric properties.
Primary Outcome Measures Prevalence of germline BAP1 variants in the unselected general population of cancer patients [ Time Frame: 5 years ] Clinical phenotypes (this includes premalignant lesions, tumor type and age of onset) in at risk blood-line family members of the patients [ Time Frame: 5 years ] Secondary Outcome Measures Environmental risk factors modifying cancer risk [ Time Frame: 10 years ] Genetic risk factors…
Primary Outcome Measures Disease control [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] Disease control rate at 12 weeks Secondary Outcome Measures Survival with anti-PD1/PDL1 immunotherapy [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] Overall survival from treatment with anti-PD1/PDL1 immunotherapy Duration of treatment [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] Duration of treatment with PD1/PDL1 immunotherapy Survival [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] Overall survival from the start of the first treatment Tolerance of treatment…
