CARD is Performing Asbestos Screenings Throughout Montana
Asbestos exposure screenings are being performed in Libby, Montana. The Center for Asbestos Related Disease (CARD) is going around the state offering screenings to people who cannot or are not willing to travel. Libby, Montana was heavily contaminated with asbestos because of a contaminated vermiculite mine operating in the area.[…]
A Phase 1 Study of PRT3645 in Participants With Select Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
Primary Outcome Measures Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of PRT3645 [ Time Frame: Baseline through Day 28 ] Dose limiting toxicity will be evaluated over the 28-day observation period Safety and tolerability of PRT3645: AEs, CTCAE Assessments [ Time Frame: Baseline through approximately 2 years ] Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by incidence of DLTs, laboratory measurements, severity[…]
A Protein Could Make Chemotherapy More Effective on Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer with a poor life expectancy. People diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma usually live for four to 18 months after diagnosis. The poor survival is a result of the aggressive nature of the cancer and that it is usually diagnosed at a late stage when it is[…]
Mesothelioma Specialty Centers Offer Better Care for Mesothelioma Patients
When mesothelioma patients are treated at mesothelioma specialty centers, they experience better care and survive longer. Kaiser Permanente Northern California Health System compared its performance before and after it transitioned into a specialty care center for mesothelioma. The doctors found a dramatic improvement in patients after the transition. Results were[…]
TTFields in General Routine Clinical Care in Patients With Pleural Mesothelioma Study (TIGER Meso)
Primary Outcome Measures Time from diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma to death of any cause as median overall survival time. [ Time Frame: 54 Months ] Secondary Outcome Measures Number of TTFields treatment-related SAEs, as assessed by the CEC, within total observation period, standardized to average annual incidences. [ Time Frame: 3 years + 18 months follow up ][…]
Allocetra and Cisplatin Combination for Mesothelioma
A new immunotherapy treatment is showing promising results against mesothelioma. The therapy consists of a combination of two drugs: one drug that reprograms macrophages and the other is the chemotherapy cisplatin. Mesothelioma is a cancer that does not respond well to treatment. The best option for patients is a combination[…]
Tool to Measure Asbestos Levels in Tissue has Been Created
A new tool to determine levels of asbestos exposure has been developed. The tool, created by Italian researchers, is known as a Retrospective Exposure Assessment (REA). The tool uses a microscope to determine how much asbestos is in lung tissue. The study wants to compare the actual level of asbestos[…]
AMT-151 in Patients With Selected Advanced Solid Tumours
Primary Outcome Measures Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ] The RP2D will be determined using dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and all other available study data Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ] The MTD will be determined using DLTs Incidence of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Up to 24[…]
Drug Factories Treatment Being Tested for Mesothelioma
Researchers have found a treatment that can eradicate advanced stage mesothelioma tumors within a few days. The research is being done at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine. The treatment utilizes implants known as “drug factories” and a checkpoint inhibitor drug. Mesothelioma is a tough to treat cancer of[…]
