OT-101 + Pembrolizumab for Mesothelioma
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This is a study of OT-101, a TGF-b2 inhibitor in combination of pembrolizumab in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Both efficacy assessment, and safety and tolerability of various dose of OT-101 in combination of pembrolizumab are evaluated.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot have received certain treatments like systemic anti-cancer therapy or radiotherapy shortly before starting the trial. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.
Is the combination of OT-101 and pembrolizumab safe for humans?
What makes the drug OT-101 + Pembrolizumab unique for treating mesothelioma?
OT-101 (Trabedersen) combined with pembrolizumab is unique because it targets specific pathways involved in cancer growth and immune response, potentially offering a new approach for mesothelioma, which has limited treatment options. Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy that helps the immune system attack cancer cells, while OT-101 may work by inhibiting certain proteins that promote tumor growth.12356
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug OT-101 + Pembrolizumab for treating mesothelioma?
Research shows that pembrolizumab, one of the drugs in the treatment, has shown promise in treating mesothelioma, a type of cancer, by helping the immune system fight the cancer cells. Studies have reported positive outcomes in patients with mesothelioma who were treated with pembrolizumab, suggesting it may be effective in this combination therapy.12356
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
