NCT ID NCT01950572
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study aims to collect blood, urine, tumor samples, and health data from up to 1,000 people with malignant mesothelioma or other cancers that express a protein called mesothelin. Participants will be followed over time to track the course of their disease. The goal is to build a resource for future research, not to test a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help researchers better understand mesothelioma and related cancers, potentially pointing toward new treatments in the future.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It does not test any new drug or therapy, so there is no direct benefit to participants. Results may take years to emerge.
