View clinical trials related to Mesothelioma.
Filter by:Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a cancer with high mortality rate and few therapeutic options.essentially all patients usually progress and die subsequently to a first line therapyl. There is strong evidence that the immune system is deeply involved in the biogenesis of MPM and that an imbalance in pro-inflammatory cytokines and exhausted adaptive T-cell mediated immune response are the main causes of neoangiogenesis, progression and metastatisation processes.Numerous Phase II-III clinical trials are underway evaluating Durvalumab either as monotherapy or combination with evidence of activity in a wide range of solid tumors. Durvalumab has received FDA approval as second line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Given these prospects for PD-L1 Ab, a Phase II study is proposed in order to evaluate the activity and safety of Durvalumab in advanced pretreated MPM.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of intraperitoneal administration of heated nanoliposomal Irinotecan in cytoreductive surgery (CRS), which is surgery designed to remove as much of the cancer as possible, and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) procedures.
The investigators propose to ensure a favorable gut microbiome by fecal microbiota transplant to enhance the efficacy Keytruda
Background: The protein mesothelin is found on many kinds of tumors. The drug LMB-100 targets cancer cells that make this protein. Researchers want to see if LMB-100 combined with another drug can help people with these tumors. Objective: To find a safe dose of LMB-100 plus tofacitinib in people with pancreatic cancer, bile-duct cancer, and other solid tumors that make mesothelin. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with pancreatic cancer, bile-duct cancer, or any other solid tumor with mesothelin that worsened after treatment or they could not receive standard treatment Design: Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Tumor tissue sample. If they do not have a sample, they will have a biopsy. - Physical exam - Blood and heart tests - Scans and x-rays: They may have a dye injected for the scans. Participants will take the drugs in up to three 21-day cycles. They will take tofacitinib by mouth twice a day on days 1-10 of each cycle. They will have LMB-100 injected into the blood on days 4, 6, and 8 of every cycle. Patients that do not have a medi-port may need to have a central vein access line placed. Participants will take other drugs on the days they receive LMB-100. Participants will repeat screening tests during the study. They may have a biopsy at the start of the first 2 cycles. If participants must stop the study, they will have a safety visit 3-6 weeks after their last dose of the study drug. Some participants may then have visits every 6 weeks. After treatment, participants will be contacted about once a year. They will be asked about their cancer.
Bronchopulmonary cancers or mesothelioma are associated with effort deconditioning due to pathology (chronic inflammation) and also to treatments (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy); it's considerably alters patients quality of life. Investigators want to ensured the feasibility of rehabilitation by effort for these patients.
Rationale: Pemetrexed is a multi-targeted folate antagonist, which is primarily indicated for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and mesothelioma. Dosing of cytotoxic agents like pemetrexed requires balancing the dual risk of sub-therapy and toxicity. Administration of pemetrexed to patients with a creatinine clearance <45 ml/min is currently not advised. Pemetrexed is dosed based on body surface area (BSA), while renal function and dose are the sole determinants for systemic exposure. This causes 3 major issues: 1. In patients with renal dysfunction, BSA-based dosing may lead to haematological toxicity 2. Patients have to discontinue treatment due to declining renal function, and are withheld effective treatment 3. Even in patients with adequate renal function (GFR >45 ml/min) treatment may be improved by individualized dosing based on renal function, resulting in less toxicity. Also, BSA-based dosing may lead to ineffective therapy in patients with above average renal function. The investigators aim to address these problems. Objective: The overall main objective is to develop a safe and effective individualized dosing regimen for pemetrexed. Study design:IMPROVE-I is a single arm phase II pharmacokinetic safety study using a Simon two stage design to assess the feasibility of renal function-based dosing of pemetrexed in renal impaired patients. Study population: IMPROVE-I includes 23 patients with NSCLC or mesothelioma with an estimated creatinine clearance <45ml/min that meet all other requirements for pemetrexed treatment. Intervention:Patients will be treated with pemetrexed, with dosing based on renal function. As a safety measure, the first dose will be calculated to 50% exposure. After administration, safety and pharmacokinetics are assessed. If tolerated well, dose escalation to reach 100% exposure is performed, including assessment of safety and pharmacokinetics. Main study endpoints: The fraction (percentage) of patients with attainment of therapeutic exposure. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The investigators consider the extra burden from participating in the planned studies limited. The extra interventions compared to routine care, consist of sampling extra blood. The pharmacokinetic assessments require placement of one additional intravenous catheter. To ensure minimal impact of study participation on daily life, a limited sampling strategy will be used. Patients may benefit from participating in IMPROVE I and -II, as they will be treated with a potentially safe and effective drug that is dosed individually, which prevents toxic exposure

Study design: IMPROVE-III is an explorative microdosing study to assess the extrapolability of microdose-pharmacokinetics to the pharmacokinetics of a therapeutic dose. Study population: IMPROVE-III includes 10 patients of IMPROVE-I and/or IMPROVE-II. Intervention: patients will be administered a microdose with subsequent pharmacokinetic assessment. Main study endpoints: The predictive performance of microdosing to predict full dose pharmacokinetics
