Study Summary

This trial tests a new drug to treat BAP1 CPDS and early-stage mesothelioma. It will measure safety, progression-free survival, and stability/improvement.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with BAP1 Cancer Predisposition Syndrome and early-stage mesothelioma who haven't received certain treatments. They must be able to perform daily activities with minimal assistance, agree to use contraception, and undergo specific procedures to assess treatment response. Excluded are those with recent significant cardiovascular events, active infections like COVID or hepatitis, HIV/AIDS-related illness, pregnancy, or on immunosuppressants.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of an oral medication called INQOVI (decitabine/cedazuridine) in stabilizing or improving subclinical mesothelioma in patients predisposed due to BAP1 mutations. It measures how long patients live without disease progression and evaluates the safety of this treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed in the provided information, common side effects of decitabine/cedazuridine may include fatigue, nausea, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. Specific side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
To determine stabilization or disease improvement rates in participants with early-stage mesotheliomas arising in the context of BAP1 CPDS following decitabine/cedazuridine treatment
Secondary outcome measures
To determine PFS in participants receiving decitabine/cedazuridine
To evaluate the safety of decitabine/cedazuridine

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Does this experiment extend to elderly individuals in excess of 85 years old?

"The terms of inclusion for this medical study specify that the lowest age for participants is 18 and the highest limit is 120."

Answered by AI

What are the qualifications to participate in this clinical investigation?

"Applicants who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and are aged between 18 and 120 years old may be eligible for participation in this clinical trial, which seeks to enrol 15 participants."

Answered by AI

Are there any openings remaining in this clinical trial?

"Per the records on clinicaltrials.gov, this experiment is not presently recruiting participants. The trial was first initiated on July 31st of 2023 and its last update was 25 days later. Despite that fact, 159 other studies are currently taking in candidates for their research projects."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA sanctioned 1/ Arm 1 for use?

"Our team at Power assigned a score of 2 to Arm 1 in terms of safety, as clinical data exists that supports its safeness but efficacy has yet to be established."
