NCT ID NCT02863055
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tested whether the drug nintedanib could help people with a rare lung cancer called malignant pleural mesothelioma. Patients who had stable disease or improvement after initial chemotherapy were given either nintedanib or a placebo to see if it delayed cancer growth. The trial was stopped early after enrolling only 37 people, so results are limited.
