Study Summary

This trial is studying how well stereotactic body radiation therapy and immunotherapy work in treating patients with mesothelioma.

Who is the study for?
Adults with confirmed pleural mesothelioma, who can undergo stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and immunotherapy. Participants must be able to give consent, follow up at the institution, have an ECOG performance status of ≤2, not be pregnant or nursing, and agree to use effective birth control.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how well patients with mesothelioma respond to a combination of high-precision radiation therapy called SBRT and immune-boosting treatments known as immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this combo improves tumor response while minimizing side effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include damage to normal tissues near the treated area due to radiation, typical reactions from immunotherapy like flu-like symptoms, fatigue, skin reactions, potential hormonal changes from birth control methods used during the study.
