Study of NXP900 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called NXP900 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The study has two parts: one for any advanced solid tumor and another for tumors with specific genetic changes.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.

Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06057935RecruitingPhase 2
Extra chemotherapy after surgery for peritoneal mesothelioma
This trial tests whether more chemotherapy after surgery can help people with a specific type of abdominal cancer (malignant peritoneal mesothelioma). It is for those who have had all visible tumor removed and have not had chemotherapy before.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT01416714Recruiting
Tissue sample collection during cancer surgery or biopsy
This study is collecting tissue samples from people with certain cancers while they have surgery or a biopsy. It may help researchers learn more about these cancers and improve future diagnosis and treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - 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+ - NCT07126509Recruiting
Surgery for pleural mesothelioma that cannot be fully removed
This trial tests if a partial surgery called pleurectomy can help people with a specific type of mesothelioma that cannot be fully removed. You must have already completed at least 6 weeks of chemotherapy or immunotherapy without the cancer growing.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04665206RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing VT3989 for certain advanced cancers

Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04104776RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug tulmimetostat for advanced cancers and lymphomas
This early-phase study tests tulmimetostat (DZR123) to shrink or control advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas, and it may also test a combination in some prostate cancer groups. If you qualify, you’ll receive the study drug and be monitored closely, including blood tests and a request for tumor tissue to look for biomarkers.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05245500RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for solid tumors with MTAP gene deletion
This Phase 1 trial studies MRTX1719, a new medicine, in solid tumors that have a missing MTAP gene (MTAP deletion). It aims to find the safest dose and check how the drug affects the tumor.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer

What taking part in a mesothelioma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
