Summary

This study tests a new treatment for a rare and aggressive lung cancer called malignant pleural mesothelioma. The treatment combines a light-activated therapy (photodynamic therapy) given during a procedure inside the chest, followed by an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) that helps the immune system fight cancer. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and feasible for 20 patients whose cancer has returned after standard chemotherapy.
