Study Summary

This trial tests a new tech (E-Nose) to see how people respond to standard treatment for mesothelioma. It will measure changes in E-Nose breathprints, imaging scans & biomarkers in blood.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 30-85 who have recently been diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and haven't had thoracic cancer or cancers like breast, gastric, colon, or pancreas that could spread to the chest. Participants must consent to all study procedures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing E-Nose technology which analyzes breathprints to see how well patients respond to standard MPM treatments. It compares these breathprints over time with imaging scans and blood biomarkers related to MPM.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive E-Nose testing and research blood tests rather than drug interventions, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from the breathing test or bruising from blood draws.
