Study Summary

This trial is testing the safety of a drug called LMB-100 given to people who have had surgery to remove pleural tumors.

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma or related cancers that have spread to the lining of the lungs, who haven't had prior local/systemic therapy for MPM, can join. They must be in good health otherwise, with proper lung and organ function, no active brain metastases or serious infections, not pregnant or breastfeeding (or willing to stop), and agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing LMB-100's safety after surgery in preventing cancer recurrence in the chest. Participants will undergo cytoreductive surgery followed by a 90-minute intrapleural perfusion of LMB-100. Their recovery will be monitored in intensive care before discharge and they'll have follow-up visits for two years.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects of LMB-100 are not listed but may include typical reactions to immunotoxins such as allergic responses, fever, nausea, liver enzyme changes. Surgery and anesthesia risks include bleeding, infection, pain at incision site and complications from being under anesthesia.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Identify maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate the toxicities of LMB-100 administered by 90-minute normothermic, intrapleural perfusion in participants with mesothelin-positive MPM, or MPE from cancers that express mesothelin
Secondary outcome measures
Determine 2 year progression free survival (PFS), and 3 year overall survival of participants following intrapleural LMB-100 perfusion
Identify pharmacokinetics of LMB-100 administered by 90-minute normothermic, intrapleural perfusion

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Could you provide me with information on the availability of slots for this clinical trial?

"As evidenced by the clinicaltrials.gov database, this study is no longer enrolling patients; it was initially published on December 5th 2022 and had its last update November 29th 2022. Nevertheless, there are still 2617 other medical trials actively searching for participants to partake in their studies."

Answered by AI

Has the Food and Drug Administration certified LMB-100 for public use?

"Due to the limited data on efficacy and safety, our team has concluded that LMB-100 is only at a level 1 of safety."
