Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Detection of Peritoneal Mesothelioma

MesotheliomaPeritoneal Mesothelioma

For cancers, such as mesothelioma, that spread to the lining of the stomach, detecting the cancer is very difficult with CT or MRI scans. Researchers at the University of Chicago want to find out if the new experimental MRI and ultrasound imaging techniques do a better job of detecting these cancers. Researchers will use new MRI and ultrasound techniques to see if it can find evidence of cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen, and right now these new techniques are only used for research.

Evaluation of Cell Changes in Blood and Tissue in Cancers of the Lung, Esophagus and Lung Lining...

Malignant Pleural Mesotheliomas NOSEsophageal Cancers NOS3 more

Background: Chromatin is is the structural building block of a chromosome. It is found inside the nucleus of the cell and consists of a complex of DNA and protein. Cancers of the lung, pleura (lung lining) and esophagus show profound changes in chromatin structure that may affect the course of disease in patients. A better understanding of these diseases and the genetic changes associated with them may be helpful in developing new treatments for them. Objectives: To evaluate people with cancer of the lung, pleura or esophagus for participation in NCI clinical trials. To obtain biopsies (small pieces of tissue) from tumor, normal tissue and blood samples to learn more about the cellular changes in blood and tissue in tumors of the lung, esophagus and pleura and surrounding structures in the chest. Eligibility: Patients 2 years of age and older with cancer of the lung, esophagus, pleura, mediastinum or chest wall, or cancers of other origin that have invaded the lung. Note: Patients >= 2 years of age and under 18 years of age may only participate in research sample collection. Design: Up to 1100 patients may be included in this study. Patients undergo standard tests for evaluating the stage of their disease and for determining eligibility for an NCI investigational treatment study. All patients undergo bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage ("washing" with salt water) to assess their tumor and collect a sample of normal tissue. Patients whose tumor is located on the outside portion of the lung may also undergo thoracoscopy to obtain a tumor sample. For bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage a tube with a light is passed through the nose or mouth into the lungs to examine the airways. Salt water is injected through the tube and then withdrawn to obtain cells for laboratory studies. For the thoracoscopy a small tube with a light is put through a small hole in the chest to obtain the tumor sample. Both procedures are usually done under general anesthesia. The tissue is examined to identify cell characteristics of people who respond to certain therapies and to identify markers on the surface of the tissue that may be useful in future research and treatment. Blood and urine samples are collected from patients. Patients who are eligible for a treatment study at NCI are offered participation in the study. Patients for whom standard surgery, radiation or chemotherapy is more appropriate may receive treatment at NCI or with their own physician. Patients who receive treatment at NCI return for follow-up examinations 4 weeks after discharge and then every 2 to 4 months depending on the nature of their cancer.

Neoadjuvant Durvalumab and Tremelimumab With and Without Chemotherapy for Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma

Objectives: The investigators will test whether combination of chemoimmunotherapy or dual agent immunotherapy alone improves efficacy for patients with MPM. Primary Objectives: The primary objective is to test whether the combination of platinum-based chemotherapy and pemetrexed with durvalumab / tremelimumab or durvalumab / tremelimumab alone improves recurrence-free survival for patients with resectable MPM compared to historical, published data for surgery with chemotherapy. Secondary Objective(s): The secondary objectives are to determine the safety of and whether the platinum-based chemotherapy and pemetrexed with durvalumab / tremelimumab or durvalumab / tremelimumab alone improves response rate, resectability, major pathological response, and complete pathological response. Exploratory Objective(s): The exploratory objectives are to determine the safety of and whether the platinum-based chemotherapy and pemetrexed with durvalumab / tremelimumab or durvalumab / tremelimumab alone improves response rate, resectability, major pathological response, and complete pathological response for patients with epithelioid and non-epithelioid histologies. The scientific exploratory objectives include: Develop an NGS plasma assay of common mutations identified from our previous grant cycle to prospectively measure minimal residual disease (MRD) after resection as a potential, novel biomarker test in mesothelioma. Determine the predictive role of BH3 profiling in patients undergoing neoadjuvant ICI followed by surgery: With patient samples collected from our neoadjuvant ICI trial, the investigators will test whether BH3 profiling from pre-treatment tumor biopsies and PBMC predicts clinical, radiological, and pathological responses to ICIs. The investigators will identify TAMs from the TiME in MPM tumor samples before and after treatment to compare differences in polarization induced by ICI in clinical and pathologically responding versus non-responding patients.

Malignant Pleural MesotheliomaUnresectable Malignant Neoplasm

Meso-Immune is a retrospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab used in first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM). This combination of treatments has been approved in Europe since June 2021 based on the results of the CheckMate 743 study. In France, the combination is not yet reimbursed for this population of patients. However, since April 01, 2021, newly diagnosed unresectable MPM patients may be treated with this combination via an early access program. Meso-Immune study targets these patients included in the early access program with the objective to provide additional results to the CheckMate 743 study and confirm the benefit of using this combination in first-line of treatment in this category of patients. Total study duration will cover 48 months with an inclusion period of 12 months and a follow-up until 3 years. Patients will be recruited retrospectively starting April 01, 2021 until April 01, 2022. Meso-Immune study will be proposed to all the GFPC centers that have already included patients in the early access program and other centers wishing to participate, in order to analyze a minimum of 150 patients. The total number of sites is evaluated at around 120. The principal investigator in each center will identify the patients eligible for the Meso-Immune study and will inform them on the study according to the local regulations. Patient follow-up will be pursued regularly, in in-patient and out-patient clinics, according to the usual practices of the physicians in each participating center. Reevaluation workups will be pursued according to the practices of each center. The information related to Patient characteristics, MPM characteristics, Treatment characteristics, Disease progression, Rebiopsy, Post treatments, Adverse events, Date and cause of death, Date of last news will be recorded in electronic case-report forms (eCRF). Qualitative variables will be presented descriptively in the principal analysis.
