In this study, researchers will give olaparib (a drug) to mesothelioma patients who have specific changes in their DNA (known as gene mutations). Researchers will give this drug to each patient on the study to find out if it will help the patient’s tumor shrink or stop growing.

Opdivo and Yervoy Combination Could Lengthen Aggressive Mesothelioma Sufferers’ Lives
The combination of Yervoy and Opdivo was tested on mesothelioma and the overall survival was promising. The overall survival was 18.1 months versus 14.1 months for patients receiving just chemotherapy. This is the first time that a phase III trial had an improved survival with an immunotherapy combination in a[…]
αPD1-MSLN-CAR T Cells for the Treatment of MSLN-positive Advanced Solid Tumors
Primary Outcome Measures Dose-limiting toxicity （DLT） [ Time Frame: After 28 days of single infusion ] Safety Secondary Outcome Measures Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) [ Time Frame: After 28 days of single infusion ] Tolerability Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Month 12 ] Clinical response will be assessed by RECIST 1.1. Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Month 12 ] PFS of patients receiving[…]
Genetically Modified T-Cells for the Treatment of Mesothelioma and Other Tumors
Genetically modified T cells are a promising treatment for those suffering from mesothelioma. There is only data from five patients, but the results so far look good. The Phase I part of the study is looking at the safety and efficacy of the treatment and is finding out what dosage[…]
Intravenous Magnesium in Patients Receiving Cisplatin
Primary Outcome Measures Feasibility and acceptability as measured by participant rates of enrollment [ Time Frame: 6 months ] Feasibility assessed by % of patients that agree to participate. Project feasible if >30% of the patients approached agree to participate Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE Version 5.0 [ Time Frame: Time[…]
More Peritoneal Mesothelioma Patients Should be Receiving Surgery
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare condition with only 400 cases diagnosed every year. Patients diagnosed with the cancer are not living as long as they could because of the underutilization of surgery. Surgery is only performed on a third of patients even though there are people that would benefit and[…]
High Resolution Computed Tomographic Imaging, Noninvasive (Liquid) Biopsies, and Minimally Invasive Surgical Surveillance for Early Detection of Mesotheliomas in Patients With BAP1 Tumor Predisposition Syndrome
Primary Outcome Measures Prospectively gather information related to the use of high-resolution computed tomographic imaging (HRCT) including photon counting CT (PCCT) scans, together with minimally invasive surveillance for early detection of mesotheliomas in pts with … [ Time Frame: annual or bi-annual followup, 5 years interim analysis ] Documentation of[…]
Efficacy of a Maintenance Treatment With TALAzoparib Following First Line Platinum-based Chemotherapy in Malignant MESOthelioma (TALAMESO)
Primary Outcome Measures Non-progression proportion [ Time Frame: 6 month after starting talazoparib ] The non-progression proportion is defined as the proportion of patients free of progression 6 months after talazoparib start. Disease progression will be based on (i) tumor assessment made by the investigators according to the RECIST[…]
Halofuginone Could Soon be Used to Treat Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a devastating cancer that primarily affects the lining of the lungs and abdomen. Once exposed to asbestos, it can take years to develop and after being diagnosed, there are not many options for patients. Since there is not a cure, clinical trials can give people hope and can[…]
