NCT01644994

Brief Summary

The aim is to introduce a new therapeutic method of intracavitary chemotherapy (cisplatin) combined with a fibrin carrier (Vivostat®) after pleurectomy/decortication or extrapleural pneumonectomy in a phase I and II study for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma patients by evaluation of the safety in a dose-escalating model (phase I), and confirmation of safety and efficacy in phase II with the maximum tolerated dose in phase I.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety)

    (Serious) Adverse Events \& safety blood parameters (hematology and clinical chemistry)

    during 6 weeks after surgery with local cisplatin-fibrin application

  • Cisplatin concentration in the superficial chest wall tissue

    local cisplatin concentration in the superficial chest wall biopsy measured by inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometric (ICP-MS) detection

    90 min after application

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • overall survival

    up to 5 years (phase I), up to 2 years (phase II)

  • FFR (= Freedom From Recurrence)

    4, 16 weeks, then every 4 months up to 5 (phase I) / 2 years (phase II)

  • in-treatment-field FFR (= Freedom From Recurrence)

    up to 2 years (phase II)

  • Quality of Life SF-36 (= Short Form-36)

    phase I: 0, 4, 8, 16 weeks and every 4w up to 5y; phase II: 0, 6, 16w and every 4w up to 2y

  • Quality of Life EORTC QLQ-C15/LC13 (QLQ = Quality of Life Questionnaire, C = Cancer, LC = Lung Cancer)

    phase I: 0, 4, 8, 16 weeks and every 4w up to 5y; phase II: 0, 6, 16w and every 4w up to 2y

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (1)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient is able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Male or female, age \>=18 years
  • ECOG performance status =\<2 (ECOG = Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group)
  • Resectable MPM (Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma) histologically confirmed (phase I: stage cT1-cT4 cN0-cN3 cM0-cM1 / phase II: stage cT1-cT3 cN0-cN1 cM0) (TNM Tumor staging abbreviations: c = clinical; T = Tumor, N = lymph Nodes, M = Metastases; numbers = quantity)
  • Only Phase II: Mediastinal staging (cytological or histological)
  • Only Phase II: Induction chemotherapy (3 or more cycles cisplatin or carboplatin (also in combination with other therapeutic agents)
  • Patient qualifying for (extended) pleurectomy/decortication ((e)P/D) or extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) for resection of MPM, which has to be assessed during a multidisciplinary tumor board including a thoracic surgeon
  • Patient must have appropriate organ and bone marrow function as defined: hematologic function: hemoglobin ≥100 g/L, WBC (white blood cell count) ≥3.5 G/L, neutrophils ≥1.5 G/L, thrombocytes ≥100 G/L; liver function: total bilirubin and LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) ≤1.5 x ULN (upper limit of normal); AST (aspartate aminotransferase), ALT (alanine aminotransferase), GGT (gamma glutamyltransferase), and AP (alkaline phosphatase) ≤2.5 x ULN; renal function: creatinine ≤130 μmol/L or, if greater, creatinine clearance ≥60 ml/min/1.73m2.
  • Patient must have an appropriate blood coagulation for P/D or EPP (Quick-test \> 50%, INR (international normalized ratio) \<=1.2)
  • The patient agrees to use an efficient contraceptive treatment up to 3 months after cisplatin application if required (pre-menopausal women and men in a sexually mature age).
  • Heart and lung function allowing P/D under general anesthesia

You may not qualify if:

  • Known or suspected unwillingness of the patient to follow the rules of the protocol
  • Patient who has not recovered from side effects from prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
  • Any known hypersensitivity against cisplatin or other platinum containing substances or any other components used for the preparation of the drugs.
  • Patient must not receive any other investigational agents 4 weeks before treatment and until the end of the observation period (2 months after treatment).
  • Patient with prior ipsilateral pleurectomy
  • Only Phase II: Multimodality Prognostic Score (MMPS) \> 2:
  • items with a maximum possible score of 4 if the patient presented all four conditions and 0 if none were present: Tumor volume before induction chemotherapy \> 500 ml, non-epithelioid histotype in the diagnostic biopsy before induction chemotherapy, CRP (C reactive protein) value \> 30 mg/l before induction chemotherapy, and progressive disease after induction chemotherapy according to RECIST criteria
  • Patient with uncontrolled intercurrent illnesses that would limit the operative procedure of P/D / EPP or compliance with study requirements
  • Tinnitus impairment of more than severity grade I (slight) evaluated by the tinnitus questionnaire MiniTF12\_CH (Mini Tinnitus Fragebogen 12, CH = Confoederatio Helvetica (Swiss version)), and/or restricted power of hearing until 4 kHz (kilohertz) confirmed by audiometry, unless age-related presbyacusis in a normal range confirmed by an audiologist.
  • Known alcohol and/or drug abuse at the time of screening
  • Pregnant or lactating woman
