Study Summary
This trial is testing a new way to measure the amount of light given during a cancer treatment called photodynamic therapy. They want to see if this new measure is more accurate than the current method and if it can help doctors decide if the treatment should be stopped or continued.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with malignant mesothelioma, non-small cell lung cancer, or pleural disease who are undergoing surgery. They must be in fair to good physical condition (ECOG 0-2), agree to use birth control if applicable, and not have distant spread of the disease. People with low white blood cells or platelets, liver issues, uncontrolled illnesses like heart failure or infections, brain metastases, recent other treatments or investigational drugs can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a light dosimetry system during photodynamic therapy using porfimer sodium on patients having surgery for certain cancers affecting the chest lining. It aims to determine how well this method works by measuring laser light used to activate the drug that may kill tumor cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to porfimer sodium which can cause sensitivity to light leading to skin damage when exposed to sunlight or bright indoor lights. Other risks involve typical surgical complications and potential harm from activated drugs targeting tumor cells.
