Print This Page
mesothelioma clinical trialWe encourage participation in clinical trials for research leading to a cure for mesothelioma. It is known nationally the statistic for participation in adult cancer trials is between 3-5% of adults who have a cancer diagnosis.

For mesothelioma patients and families who are interested in clinical trials, researching clinical trials and eligibility can be a time-consuming barrier to participation. The information about clinical trials is available on www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Number of Participants: Estimated – 537 – September 19, 2013 – October 30,2019

Purpose: This is a Phase ll/lll study to confirm that by adding nintedanib (BIBF 1120) in combination with first line therapy pemextred and cisplatin in one arm of the study- and a second arm having the first line therapy pemextred and cisplatin along with a placebo instead of Nintedanib.

The study will then primarily measure progression free survival measured by the time of randomization for the trial until disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever happens first. The time frame for this follow up is up to 3 years.

The secondary outcomes that will be measured are overall survival measured from the time of randomization to the time of death of any cause. Objective response according to the modified RECIST score. Disease control measured according to modified RECIST by disease control rate. The time frame on all these objectives is up to 3 years.

Screening: 18 years or older- male or female

Not have sarcomatoid sub type of malignant pleural mesothelioma

Eligibility Criteria: Histologically confirmed malignant pleural mesothelioma – Phase ll epithelioid or biphasic subtype only- Phase lll epithelioid subtype only

  • Life expectancy of at least 3 months- decision by the investigator
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (EGOG) score of 0 or1
  • Measurable disease according to modified RECIST (Response Evaluation in Solid Tumors) criteria

Exclusion Criteria: Previous systemic chemotherapy for malignant pleural mesothelioma

Prior treatment with Nintedanib or any other prior line of therapy

Phase ll patients with sarcomatoid subtype malignant pleural mesothelioma or Phase

lll patients with biphasic or sarcomatoid subtype malignant pleural mesothelioma

Patients with symptomatic neuropathy

Radiotherapy (except extremities) within 3 months prior to baseline imaging

Active brain metastases (e.g. stable for < 4 weeks)

Radiographic evidence of cavitary or necrotic tumors or local invasion of major blood

Vessels by malignant pleural mesothelioma

Significant cardiovascular diseases

Inadequate hematologic, renal, or hepatic function

How the Research Study is Designed to Work: By administering Nintedanib and a placebo to two different randomized groups of patients who have epithelial type malignant pleural mesothelioma, along with the first line chemotherapy agents, cisplatin and pemextred. The results will then be analyzed with attention to overall survival, time to progression of disease recurrence, and time toward death by any cause.
