Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03760575RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab plus chemo with surgery for pleural mesothelioma
This trial studies how well pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) works when added to chemotherapy before image-guided surgery for malignant pleural mesothelioma. It aims to shrink or control the cancer and improve surgical results by combining treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04400539RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus 5-ALA light treatment for pleural mesothelioma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding nivolumab (an immunotherapy) to a one-time “light-based” treatment during a lung procedure can control malignant pleural mesothelioma that can’t be surgically removed. You may be eligible if your cancer has come back or progressed after prior platinum chemotherapy, and if your tumor is reachable for the light treatment during thoracoscopy.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT04996017RecruitingPhase 3
Atezolizumab after surgery for malignant pleural mesothelioma
This study tests whether atezolizumab given after surgery and chemotherapy can lower the risk of mesothelioma coming back compared with a placebo. It may help by boosting the immune system to control remaining microscopic cancer cells.
Meldola, ITAòYAges 18 years+ - NCT05188859RecruitingPhase 2
Testing sintilimab, anlotinib, and chemo for pleural mesothelioma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding three medicines—sintilimab, anlotinib, and standard platinum chemo—can control malignant pleural mesothelioma that cannot be removed by surgery. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease progression, but you must meet specific health and prior-treatment requirements.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05655078Recruiting
Proton radiation for one-sided malignant pleural mesothelioma
This study tests proton beam radiation aimed at one side of the chest in people with malignant pleural mesothelioma who are not yet having chemotherapy. The goal is to control the cancer while preserving breathing and quality of life for the right patients.
Eastbourne, East SussexAges 18 years+ - NCT05765084RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Atezolizumab plus WT1 vaccine with chemo for pleural mesothelioma
This trial studies a treatment plan that combines an immune drug (atezolizumab) and a personalized cancer vaccine (WT1/DC) with standard first-line chemotherapy for epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to improve control of the cancer by helping the immune system work alongside chemotherapy.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05930665RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo for unresectable pleural mesothelioma
This trial tests whether adding cadonilimab (an immune treatment) and bevacizumab (a medicine that targets blood supply to tumors) to standard chemotherapy can control pleural malignant mesothelioma that cannot be removed with surgery. It’s meant for people who have not yet started medicine for advanced disease and who meet health and blood test requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06031636Recruiting
Virus therapy plus immunotherapy for advanced mesothelioma
This trial tests if injecting a cancer-killing virus directly into tumors, combined with an immunotherapy drug, can help people with advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma that hasn't responded to prior immunotherapy.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06037941Recruiting
Breath test to check mesothelioma treatment response
This study is testing a special breath test (called an e-nose) to see if it can tell how well your treatment is working for malignant pleural mesothelioma. It is a non-invasive way to monitor your response to therapy.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 30–85 - NCT06566079RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ISM6331 for advanced mesothelioma or other solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called ISM6331 for people with advanced mesothelioma or other solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug targets a specific cell pathway (Hippo) that may be involved in tumor growth.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06637345Recruiting
Mesothelioma radiotherapy side effect study (MESORTIBO)
This study looks for markers in the blood that can predict side effects in patients with pleural mesothelioma who receive high-dose radiation. If you've had chemotherapy and are getting or have gotten high-dose radiation to the whole chest, researchers want to see if they can identify who is at higher risk of side effects.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT06726564RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MT027 for malignant pleural effusion
This trial tests a new drug called MT027 for people with advanced cancer that has spread to the lining around the lungs (pleura) and caused fluid buildup. The drug targets a marker on cancer cells called B7-H3. It may help control the fluid and the cancer.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06756035RecruitingPhase 1
Testing CT-95 in advanced cancers with mesothelin
This trial tests a new drug (CT-95) for advanced cancers that have a marker called mesothelin. It's an early-phase study to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06790082RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI PET scan to diagnose pleural mesothelioma
This trial tests if a newer type of PET scan (FAPI PET) can better diagnose pleural mesothelioma than a standard FDG PET scan. If you have a suspicious spot in your lung lining and need a biopsy, this study may help improve how we find and track this cancer.
Aalborg, Region North JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06886672Recruiting
