Recruiting PHASE2 Pleural Mesotheliomas

New treatment option for Pleural Mesotheliomas

Official title Evaluating Ivonescimab as a Potential Treatment for Pleural Mesothelioma Patients Whose Cancer Has Returned After Previous Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06840834

What this study is testing

What is Ivonescimab?

Ivonescimab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for pleural mesotheliomas.

Also referred to as SMT112.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Multicentre, open-label, single arm phase II study for patients with PM previously treated by immunotherapy and standard chemotherapy. 38 patients will be given second or third-line treatment with ivonescimab 20mg/kg every 3 weeks.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
