About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma focused on measuring mesothelioma, chemotherapy, translational research, axitinib

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • histologically or cytologically diagnosed malignant mesothelioma
  • age > 18 years
  • Medically suitable for limited surgical intervention (pleural biopsies or limited pleurectomy)
  • Measurable or evaluable disease is not required
  • Ability to understand the study and give signed informed consent including the approval to accept a second thoracoscopic or surgical treatment after the third course
  • No previous chemotherapy
  • Radiotherapy is allowed when this is given for palliation, the interval is > 4 weeks, not more than 1/3 of the bone marrow capacity or all tumor is within the irradiation field.
  • WHO performance status =< 2
  • Adequate organ function as evidenced by the following peripheral blood counts or serum chemistries at study entry:

Hematology:

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of axitinib, a potent angiogenesis inhibitor, on tissue and clinical outcome in combination with chemotherapy given to patients with mesothelioma
Detailed Description
To determine the effects of the addition of axitinib to standard chemotherapy on tissue samples with respect to micro-vessel density (MVD): expression of VEGF-Receptor; PDGF receptor expression; extent of necrosis and apoptosis. To determine the safety of the addition of axitinib (to a maximum of the recommended dose of maximally 2 x 10 mg per day) to the standard treatment with cisplatin and pemetrexed. To determine the feasibility of performing a (second) thoracoscopy after 10 weeks of the combination treatment with cisplatin, pemetrexed and axitinib. Serum samples will be collected and tested for inhibiting effects in a tube formation and spheroid sprouting assay.
