Filter by:It is aimed to evaluate FAP expression and its success in predicting treatment response before immunotherapy used in the treatment of malignant mesothelioma with Ga68 FAPI PET/CT imaging, which allows in vivo evaluation of FAP expression, which is thought to be associated with immunosuppression and resistance to immunotherapy.
Pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive tumor that affects the pleura and originates from mesothelial cells. If untreated, median survival is 4-12 months following diagnosis. Asbestos exposure is a risk factor associated with 80% of cases. After the 1980s, regulations controlling the use of asbestos ensured that cases were limited. Approximately 3,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United States. In general, a minority of patients are candidates for surgery at the time of presentation, so the mainstay of treatment is systemic chemotherapy. For patients who are surgical candidates, surgery is usually part of a multimodal treatment process that also includes chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Early and accurate diagnosis has a critical impact on the management of the disease due to limited response to multimodal treatments. Patients are often diagnosed at an advanced stage, leading to poor overall survival. Thorax and upper abdomen CT imaging are standard initial imaging modalities for clinical staging of MPM. Although CT identifies the general extent of the primary tumor, it may not definitively identify some areas of tumor invasion. There may be difficulties especially in the evaluation of chest wall and diaphragm invasion. 18F-FDG PET/CT has been widely used for cancer diagnosis, staging, treatment response and prognostic information for many years with high accuracy rates. 18F-FDG PET/CT provides valuable information on differentiating benign and malignant pleural abnormalities, evaluating the possibility of malignant involvement of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes, and detecting distant metastases. 18F-FDG PET/CT identifies metastatic disease undetected on CT in approximately 10% of patients. At the same time, the degree of involvement (SUV) in FDG PET plays a role in predicting disease prognosis. 18F-FDG PET/CT can also be used to evaluate the treatment response in patients receiving chemotherapy, but due to chemotherapy-related inflammatory changes, it is necessary to wait at least 2 weeks to evaluate the treatment response. 18F-Fluorothymidine (FLT) is a thymidine kinase 1-specific substrate that is increased in proliferating cells and is associated with the Ki-67 index, a proliferation marker. It allows noninvasive evaluation of cell proliferation, especially the early evaluation of the response to cytotoxic chemotherapy. 18F-FLT PET/CT imaging has shown success in early evaluation of response to systemic endocrine, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and combined chemotherapy in multiple tumor types. The prognostic value of a decrease in 18F-FLT uptake after initiation of treatment has also been reported. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the success of 18F-FLT PET/CT in the early evaluation of the response after the first cycle of chemotherapy in patients diagnosed with mesothelioma and receiving systemic chemotherapy. It is also aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of response evaluation made with this method. It is planned to prospectively include 25 patients with MPM who scheduled for chemotherapy in the study. Included patients will undergo 18F-FDG PET/CT before chemotherapy followed by 18F-FLT PET/CT imaging within two weeks. 18F-FLT PET/CT will be performed on the 4th day after the 1st cycle of chemotherapy. After chemotherapy is completed, treatment response will be evaluated with 18F-FDG PET/CT. Patients will then be followed by their clinicians for relapse and progressive disease. Thus, the success of early 18F-FLT PET/CT in predicting end of treatment response will be evaluated.
This is a first-in-human, open-label, multi-center, Phase 1, dose-escalation study with expansion cohorts to evaluate NM32-2668 for safety and immunogenicity, to determine the maximal tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose, define the pharmacokinetics, to explore the pharmacodynamics, and to obtain preliminary evidence of the clinical activity in adult patients with selected advanced solid tumors.
Within the context of pleural carcinosis, the present study is a dose escalation with determination of the maximum tolerated doses (MTD) of pressurized cisplatin administration associated to moderate hyperthermia in the pleura. This will be followed by an expansion phase at the recommended dose (RD).
This is a first-in-human, single-arm, open-label, dose escalation clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of UCMYM802 (Circular mRNA encoding Anti-Mesothelin CAR-T) injection in patients with Mesothelin-positive advanced malignant solid tumors.
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1a/1b open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and dose expansion study of SW-682 in adult participants with metastatic or unresectable advanced solid tumors with or without Hippo pathway alterations that are refractory to, or have progressed, during or after appropriate prior systemic anticancer therapy, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy or targeted therapy, or for which no treatment is available, or prior standard of care (SOC) therapy was not tolerated and for which there is no further SOC treatment available. The study includes a Part 1 (Phase 1a) dose escalation phase and a Part 2 (Phase 1b) dose expansion to optimize the dose to be used for further development. All participants will self-administer SW-682 by mouth in 28-day cycles.
This is a phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter, global study to determine the efficacy and safety of Volrustomig (MEDI5752) + Carboplatin + Pemetrexed vs the investigator's choice of platinum + Pemetrexed or Nivolumab + Ipilimumab in participants with unresectable pleural mesothelioma.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether intraperitoneal or intravenous chemotherapy given after cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC are effective treatments for people with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Outcomes will be compared by observing intraperitoneal versus intravenous treatments to analyze if one is better than the other.
The goal of this study is to test A2B694, an autologous logic-gated Tmod™ CAR T-cell product in subjects with solid tumors including colorectal cancer (CRC), pancreatic cancer (PANC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian cancer (OVCA), mesothelioma (MESO), and other solid tumors that express MSLN and have lost HLA-A*02 expression. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Phase 1: What is the recommended dose of A2B694 that is safe for patients Phase 2: Does the recommended dose of A2B694 kill the solid tumor cells and protect the patient's healthy cells Participants will be required to perform study procedures and assessments, and will also receive the following study treatments: Enrollment and Apheresis in BASECAMP-1 (NCT04981119) Preconditioning Lymphodepletion (PCLD) Regimen A2B694 Tmod CAR T cells at the assigned dose
The researchers are doing this study to test the ability of a new technology called breathprinting, or electronic nose (E-Nose), to measure how people respond to standard treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The researchers will study how E-Nose breathprints change over time as people receive standard treatment for MPM. They will also look at how changes in people's E-Nose breathprints compare to changes in their standard imaging scans and in biomarkers of MPM in their blood.
