Researchers are looking at a vaccine to maintain patient health after cancer treatment, which could be effective for mesothelioma in the future. The vaccine is specifically made for each patient based on the individual’s biology. The trial is currently being tested on head and neck cancer. It does not usually[…]

Researchers are Targeting Fibrosis to Improve Mesothelioma Care
Researchers have found that targeting lung fibrosis can help people with mesothelioma. People with mesothelioma usually suffer from fibrosis, which is the stiffening of tissue surrounding tumors. Certain drugs to treat mesothelioma are not very effective because the fibrosis prevents the drugs from penetrating the tumor. It also prevents the[…]
Study of RSO-021 in Patients With Malignant Pleural Effusion Due to Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors Including Mesothelioma
Primary Outcome Measures Dose-limiting Toxicity [ Time Frame: First 21 days of treatment. ] The incidence of DLTs during the DLT assessment period. Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events (AE) [ Time Frame: Screening to 90 days from last dose. ] The incidences and percentages of patients experiencing AEs summarized by NCI CTCAE version 5.0 grade and by[…]
OT-101 Useful for COVID-19 and Cancers Like Mesothelioma
Researchers are looking at a new treatment for mesothelioma. It is a multimodal treatment (multiple treatments combined) consisting of the immunotherapy drug Keytruda and a new drug called OT-101. OT-101 is an antisense drug, which is a drug that blocks molecules that make certain proteins. The drug is also effective[…]
Safety and Tolerability of TNG908 in Patients With MTAP-deleted Solid Tumors
Primary Outcome Measures Phase 1: [ Time Frame: 28 days ] To determine the MTD and dosing schedule of TNG908 Phase 2: [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] To assess anti-neoplastic activity of TNG908 in patients with MTAP-deleted advanced solid tumors by RECIST v1.1 Secondary outcome Measures Phase 1: [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] To assess preliminary evidence of anti-neoplastic activity[…]
Prehab and Rehab for Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly cancer of the mesothelium, which is a membrane that surrounds multiple organs including the lungs and abdomen. The best thing for patients after a mesothelioma diagnosis is treatment in the form of chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy, or multiple treatments together. This can be mentally and[…]
Oral TEAD Inhibitor Targeting the Hippo Pathway in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors
Primary Outcome Measures Safety and tolerability of IK-930 [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 36 months ] The frequency and severity, incidence of treatment-emergent and treatment-related adverse events using NCI-CTCAE v5.0 Occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicity during first treatment cycle [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 year ] RP2D and/or MTD of IK-930 [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 year ][…]
A Gene Therapy Could Improve Survival for Mesothelioma
Results from a new study involving a genetic therapy for pleural mesothelioma have been submitted at the University of Leicester. Researchers at the United Kingdom university designed a treatment to match specific genetic profiles to individual patients. There are promising results from the study, which had patients who received first[…]
Phase 1/2 Study of MRTX1719 in Solid Tumors With MTAP Deletion
Primary Outcome Measures Phase 1: Number of Patients who Experience Dose-Limiting Toxicity [ Time Frame: 21 days ] Phase 1/1B: Number of patients who experience a treatment-related adverse event [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ] Phase 2: Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: 2 years ] Phase 2: Duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: 2 years ] Phase 2: Progression free survival[…]
Tremelimumab and Durvalumab Combination Can Improve Mesothelioma Survival
Studies show that durvalumab and tremelimumab work very well together while treating mesothelioma. A phase I clinical trial was performed at the Baylor College of Medicine in conjunction with Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center. Durvalumab is an immunotherapy drug known as a PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor. It works by blocking the[…]
