This trial is testing an experimental drug called NUC-3373, a nucleotide analogue, in combination with standard cancer drugs for people with advanced solid tumors. The study has two parts: one combining NUC-3373 with pembrolizumab, and the other combining it with docetaxel. The g…

This study tested two immunotherapy drugs, durvalumab and tremelimumab, in people with malignant pleural mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the lung lining. The trial enrolled 19 participants whose cancer had worsened after standard chemotherapy. The goal was to see if the drug combi…

This study looked at whether adding targeted radiation therapy to surgery and chemotherapy could help people with early-stage pleural mesothelioma live longer. Only 16 people took part before the trial was stopped early, so we don't have clear results. The approach aimed to kill …

This trial tests a new cell therapy called TC-510 for people with advanced cancers that have a protein called mesothelin on their surface, including mesothelioma, ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer. TC-510 uses a patient's own immune cells, which are genetically modified to be…

This early-phase trial tested whether a light-activated drug (photodynamic therapy) could help immunotherapy work better in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the lung or with mesothelioma. Only 5 people took part, and the study was stopped …

This early-phase trial tested the drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) combined with targeted radiation (SBRT) in 5 people with advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the lung lining. The goal was to check safety and find the right dose. The study was terminated early…

This phase 2 trial tested a new drug called THOR-707 (Pegenzileukin) combined with other cancer treatments, including pembrolizumab, in 106 people with advanced lung cancer or pleural mesothelioma. The goal was to see if the combination could shrink tumors. However, the study was…

This phase 2 trial tested whether the drug nintedanib could help people with malignant pleural mesothelioma keep their cancer from growing after initial chemotherapy. 37 patients were randomly assigned to receive either nintedanib or a placebo twice daily. The study was terminate…

This study explores whether chemicals in a person's breath, called volatile organic compounds, can serve as early warning signs of pleural mesothelioma in people who have been exposed to asbestos. Researchers will also check if a blood marker, SMRP, adds to the breath test's accu…

This study tested whether the ultrasound tip of an EBUS bronchoscope, placed on the chest, can detect pneumothorax (collapsed lung) as well as a standard ultrasound probe. Researchers enrolled 17 patients, including those with and without pneumothorax. The goal was to see if this…
