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.

Mesothelin-targeted CAR T-cell Therapy in Patients With Mesothelioma

October 9, 2020

This study will test the safety of MSLN-targeted CAR-T cells at different doses to find the safest dose to give to people with MPM. The researchers want to see what effects, if any, the study treatment has on people with this type of cancer. This study is the first time that an MSLN-targeted CAR-T cell treatment with an anti-PD1 component is being given to people.

September 4, 2020

This is a phase I, multi-center, open-label, multi-dose, two-part PK and safety study to characterize the DDI potential of oral Tazemetostat.

Poly-ICLC (Hiltonol®) Vaccine In Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

August 28, 2020

Primary Outcome Measures The probability of rejecting the investigational treatment is at least 81%, if the DLT rate is greater than 33% and the probability of accepting the treatment is at least 71% if the DLT rate is less than a safe level of 17%. [ Time Frame: up to 27 days ] Safety will be assessed by the…

Olaparib in Patients With HRD Malignant Mesothelioma

August 21, 2020

In this study, researchers will give olaparib (a drug) to mesothelioma patients who have specific changes in their DNA (known as gene mutations). Researchers will give this drug to each patient on the study to find out if it will help the patient’s tumor shrink or stop growing.
