Filter by: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.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation and expansion study of MT-8421 (an Engineered Toxin Body (ETB)) as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in patients with selected advanced solid cancer types. MT-8421 is an investigational drug that specifically targets and depletes cytotoxic T-lymphocytes-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) expressing cells in an effort to directly dismantle the tumor microenvironment for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Oncolytic Adenovirus(H101) combined with PD-1 inhibitor in patients with advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma who have previously been resistant to advanced PD-1 inhibitors.
Objective The main objective is to evaluate the haematological toxicity in patients who use pemetrexed with and without rescue therapy with folinic acid. Primary endpoint Difference between treatment groups in neutrophil count (*109/L) at day 8-10 after administration of pemetrexed (nadir). Secondary endpoints The grade neutropenia (according to the CTCAE version 5, 2017) at day 8-10, the homocysteine plasma levels at baseline (predictor for developing toxicity), the efficacy of chemotherapy treatment based on response CT after cycle 2 and 4 and the incidence of discontinuation, dose delays and dose reductions of pemetrexed. Trial design The FLEX-trial is a multi-centre, open label, double arm, randomized trial to compare neutropenia in patients with and without folinic acid rescue therapy where subjects are participating for 4 treatment cycles. Population In total 50 patients (25 in each arm), >18 years with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or mesothelioma treated with pemetrexed (in combination with other chemo- or immunotherapy) are eligible for inclusion. Interventions Follow-up will take place during the first 4 cycles of chemotherapy with pemetrexed. Patients in the intervention-arm will receive oral folinic acid orally 4 times 45mg / day for 3 days, starting 24 hours after the administration of pemetrexed.
This is a Phase II study to determine the rate of stabilization or disease improvement from investigational decitabine/cedazuridine (INQOVI) treatment in subjects with BRCA1-Associated Protein-1 (BAP1) Cancer Predisposition Syndrome (CPDS) and subclinical, early-stage mesothelioma. Progression-free survival (PFS) will also be determined for treated subjects, and the treatment safety (toxicity) evaluated.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate a new drug, HTL0039732, that will be administered on its own (as a monotherapy) and in combination with atezolizumab or with other approved anti-cancer therapies, in participants with advanced solid tumours.
Objectives: The investigators will test whether combination of chemoimmunotherapy or dual agent immunotherapy alone improves efficacy for patients with MPM. Primary Objectives: The primary objective is to test whether the combination of platinum-based chemotherapy and pemetrexed with durvalumab / tremelimumab or durvalumab / tremelimumab alone improves recurrence-free survival for patients with resectable MPM compared to historical, published data for surgery with chemotherapy. Secondary Objective(s): The secondary objectives are to determine the safety of and whether the platinum-based chemotherapy and pemetrexed with durvalumab / tremelimumab or durvalumab / tremelimumab alone improves response rate, resectability, major pathological response, and complete pathological response. Exploratory Objective(s): The exploratory objectives are to determine the safety of and whether the platinum-based chemotherapy and pemetrexed with durvalumab / tremelimumab or durvalumab / tremelimumab alone improves response rate, resectability, major pathological response, and complete pathological response for patients with epithelioid and non-epithelioid histologies. The scientific exploratory objectives include: 1. Develop an NGS plasma assay of common mutations identified from our previous grant cycle to prospectively measure minimal residual disease (MRD) after resection as a potential, novel biomarker test in mesothelioma. 2. Determine the predictive role of BH3 profiling in patients undergoing neoadjuvant ICI followed by surgery: With patient samples collected from our neoadjuvant ICI trial, the investigators will test whether BH3 profiling from pre-treatment tumor biopsies and PBMC predicts clinical, radiological, and pathological responses to ICIs. The investigators will identify TAMs from the TiME in MPM tumor samples before and after treatment to compare differences in polarization induced by ICI in clinical and pathologically responding versus non-responding patients.
Cadonilimab, a tetravalent bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4, is designed to retain the efficacy benefit of combination of PD-1 and CTLA-4 and improve on the safety profile of the combination therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab in combination with bevacizumab and standard chemotherapy as first Line therapy in unresectable pleural mesothelioma.
The PROSPECT study aims to look at the number of problems or side effects which occur after patients have had a procedure completed to remove fluid or air from the space between the lung and the chest wall. Other information will also be collected to see whether anything else affects which patients have problems after the procedure such as bleeding or infection. This study will also investigate whether it is possible to find out which patients are likely to feel a lot better after the procedure. Not all patients feel significantly better but it is not clear why this is. There are a number of different reasons patients may not feel better, for example if the lung is not able to fully re-expand. The study aims to look at whether it is possible to predict these problems before the procedure using ultrasound. If it is possible to find the answers to some of these questions it might be possible to prevent patients undergoing treatments which are not likely to benefit them. The study will use information already collected as part of clinical care, as well as questionnaires from patients receiving care at a variety of centres. The different features of these centres will also be considered in analysis.
Medical research participation percentages haven't always been fully representative of a given demographic. The goal is to find out which aspects of a clinical study may make it more difficult for patients to take part or see it through. The data will be evaluated through different demographic lenses and identify trends that could help improve the experience of future mesothelioma patients during clinical trials.
