Active clinical trials for "Mesothelioma"

This is a prospective, monocenter, single arm, phase II trial in 33 patients with unresectable MPM, who experience disease progression or recurrence after at least one previous line of platinum-based systemic treatment. Nivolumab will be administered at a fixed dose of 240 mg every 2 week. Nivolumab will be given in combination with ipilimumab on week 1, 7, 13 and 19 and will be administered prior to the infusion of ipilimumab. Ipilimumab will be administered at the dose of 1 mg/Kg.The patients will receive nivolumab monotherapy on week 3, 5, 9, 11, 15 and 17. From week 21 thereafter, Nivolumab will be then administered every 2 weeks for a maximum period of 2 years or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and tolerability of the combination of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab compared to Pemetrexed and Cisplatin or Carboplatin in patients with unresectable pleural mesothelioma.

This study will determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) for oral bosutinib when used in combination with pemetrexed. The MTD is the highest dose of bosutinib with pemetrexed that can be given without causing severe side effects. This study will also test the safety of this combination and see what effects (good or bad) it has on participants and their cancer.

Trial comparing standard treatment (chemotherapy) with pembrolizumab treatment in patients with advanced pretreated malignant mesothelioma.

The main purpose of the 15743 study is to assess efficacy and safety of anetumab ravtansine versus vinorelbine in progression free survival in patients with stage IV mesothelin overexpressing malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). 210 eligible patients will be randomized to receive either anetumab ravtansine every three weeks or weekly vinorelbine. Treatment will continue until centrally confirmed disease progression or until another criterion is met for withdrawal from the study. Patients will enter follow up phase to capture safety and endpoint data as required. Efficacy will be measured by evaluating progression free survival from randomization. Radiological tumor assessments will be performed at defined time points until the patient's disease progresses. Blood samples will be collected for safety, pharmacokinetic and biomarker analysis. Archival or fresh biopsy tissue may also be collected for central pathology review and biomarkers.

This is a phase I and II clinical study for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (a type of cancer affecting the lining of the lung). Patients will receive an infusion (given by vein) of autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). TILs are a type of white blood cells that recognizes tumor cells and enter them which causes the tumor cells to break down. Prior to the cell infusion, patients will receive a two drugs cyclophosphamide and fludarabine to prepare the body to receive the TILs. After cell infusion, patients will receive low-dose interleukin-2 therapy. This study will see how safe and useful this regimen is in treating malignant pleural mesothelioma.

The aim is to introduce a new therapeutic method of intracavitary chemotherapy (cisplatin) combined with a fibrin carrier (Vivostat®) after pleurectomy/decortication or extrapleural pneumonectomy in a phase I and II study for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma patients by evaluation of the safety in a dose-escalating model (phase I), and confirmation of safety and efficacy in phase II with the maximum tolerated dose in phase I.

Earlier the investigators determined the safety and feasibility of tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cells as therapeutic adjuvants in mesothelioma patients. Because pre-clinical data in mice had shown that better results were obtained when regulatory T cells were depleted using low-dosis of cyclophosphamide, ten patients who responded on chemotherapy are selected for DC-treatment in combination with Endoxan.

To determine the safety and manufacturing feasibility of IV autologous chimeric immune receptor (CIR) T cells transfected with anti-mesothelin messenger RNA (mRNA) expressing a single chain antibody variable fragment linked to the intracellular CD 3 zeta T cell receptor domain and the 4-1BB costimulatory domain.

The main objective of the trial is to document the efficacy of NGR-hTNF administered at low dose weekly in advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma patients previously treated with a pemetrexed-based chemotherapy regimen.
