Lab-Grown tumor models could personalize mesothelioma care
NCT ID NCT07330271
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to choose cancer treatments for people with peritoneal mesothelioma. After surgery, doctors will grow a model of the patient's tumor in the lab and test different drugs on it to find the best match. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps patients live longer without their cancer growing, compared to standard chemotherapy.

Inclusion Criteria: Patients must meet ALL of the following criteria to be eligible for the study: * Aged 18 years or older. * Histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of epithelioid or biphasic malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM). * Scheduled to undergo cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and subsequent adjuvant therapy. * Availability of sufficient fresh tumor tissue sample obtained during surgery for Patient-derived tumor-like cell clusters (PTC) drug sensitivity testing. * Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score \> 60. * Adequate hematologic function: * White blood cell count ≥ 3.5 × 10⁹/L * Platelet count ≥ 80 × 10⁹/L * Adequate hepatic function: * Total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN) * Adequate renal function: * Serum creatinine \< 1.2 × ULN * Adequate cardiac and pulmonary function to tolerate major surgery, as assessed by the investigator. * Voluntarily agrees to participate by providing written informed consent and demonstrates good compliance. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who meet ANY of the following criteria will be excluded from the study: * Presence of concurrent severe medical comorbidities that, in the investigator's judgment, preclude tolerance to the study treatment. * Diagnosis of another active malignant tumor during the screening process, which may interfere with the study outcomes. * Considered by the investigator to be unsuitable for participation in this study for any other reason (e.g., psychological, familial, or social factors). * Unwillingness to accept the assigned treatment regimen or the required follow-up schedule.
