This trial tests adding immunotherapy before surgery to help patients with sarcomatoid pleural mesothelioma. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer and make surgery possible, while checking safety.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06536179Recruiting
New research on mesothelioma: using surgery tissue samples
This research study collects tissue samples from people having surgery for pleural mesothelioma (a rare lung cancer) or other lung diseases. The samples are used to better understand the disease and improve future treatments.
Naples, CampaniaAges Any age - 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+ - NCT07561190Recruiting
Studying tumor biology in malignant pleural mesothelioma
This study collects and analyzes tumor samples from patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (a cancer of the lung lining caused by asbestos exposure) to better understand the disease and find new treatment approaches. Researchers will examine your tumor at the molecular level to identify patterns that might help predict treatment outcomes.
CataniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07510815RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune cell therapy for advanced mesothelioma
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy made from donor cells that are trained to target two specific proteins found on mesothelioma tumors. The goal is to see if these cells can safely shrink tumors or slow the disease when given directly into the chest or belly area.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07330271Recruiting
Personalized drug testing for peritoneal mesothelioma treatment
This trial uses a test on your tumor tissue to find which chemotherapy drugs work best for you, after standard surgery and heated chemotherapy. It aims to make your treatment more effective by choosing drugs that match your cancer.
BeijingAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT06875076RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy for pretreated mesothelioma
This trial is testing a new immunotherapy drug (ivonescimab) combined with chemotherapy for people with mesothelioma that has already been treated. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Changchun, JilinAges 1.5 years–6.3 years - NCT06886672Recruiting
Genetic study in pleural mesothelioma
This study looks at the role of inherited genes in malignant pleural mesothelioma. It includes people recently diagnosed and healthy people who were exposed to asbestos. The goal is to better understand why some people get this cancer.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT07234058RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drug combinations for pleural mesothelioma
This trial tests adding a drug called fianlimab to another drug (cemiplimab) plus chemotherapy for people with a type of lung cancer called pleural mesothelioma. It aims to see if the combination is more effective than cemiplimab plus chemo alone.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18–75 - NCT04515836RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib for HRD malignant mesothelioma after platinum chemotherapy
This trial tests whether olaparib (a cancer medicine) can help control malignant mesothelioma that has specific DNA changes. You must have already had platinum chemotherapy and your cancer must be “platinum-sensitive,” plus your tumor (or family/genetic cells) must show certain gene problems.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06885697RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for mesothelioma and other solid tumors
This study tests a new kind of immunotherapy called CAR T-cells that are designed to find and attack cancer cells with a protein called mesothelin on their surface. It may help people with mesothelioma or other solid tumors that have not improved with standard treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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+ - NCT06840834RecruitingPhase 2
New drug for mesothelioma that has returned after prior treatment
This trial tests a drug called ivonescimab for people with pleural mesothelioma (a cancer of the lung lining) that has grown back after earlier immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The drug may help by blocking a protein that tumors use to hide from the immune system, possibly slowing or shrinking the cancer.
