About this study

Official title: Isolated Thoracic Perfusion With Hemofiltration (ITP-F) for Pretreated and Progressive Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

This is an observational study of isolated thoracic perfusion with subsequent hemofiltration to lower the concentration of the cytotoxic drugs as a locoregional therapeutic strategy in malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Read the detailed description

Treatment of patients with progressive malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) after multimodal therapy is a therapeutic challenge. Survival of the patients is low and the treatment options are sparse. This is an observational study of isolated thoracic perfusion with subsequent hemofiltration as a locoregional therapeutic strategy in this situation.

23 pts. with epithelioid MPM were included in this phase II study after informed consent. All patients had progressive disease after multiple therapies and were recommended BSC of a MDT. Following insertion of a venous and arterial 21 ch. stop flow catheter via a femoral access, the inferior vena cava was blocked beneath the right atrium, the arterial catheter was blocked in the aorta at the diaphragm. The upper arms were blocked by pneumatic cuffs. Chemotherapy was given via the arterial catheter. Chemotherapy consisted of 60mg/m2 cisplatinum and 15mg/m2 mitoxantrone q for 3 weeks until progress. After administration of chemotherapy, thoracic perfusion with blocked stop-flow catheters was maintained for 15 minutes. After de-blocking of the catheters, hemofiltration was performed for 45 min. with 5l filtrate. The endpoint of the study was overall survival.Secondary endpoint was toxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mesothelioma, run by Medias Klinikum for Surgical Oncology.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival (time frame: one year survival). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jun 2015.
