PTK787/ZK 222584 in Treating Patients With Unresectable Malignant Mesothelioma

June 30, 2016 updated by: Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology

A Phase II Study of PTK787/ZK222584 (NSC#719335) in Patients With Unresectable Malignant Mesothelioma

RATIONALE: PTK787/ZK 222584 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of PTK787/ZK 222584 in treating patients with unresectable malignant mesothelioma.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the efficacy of PTK787/ZK 222584, in terms of 3-month progression-free survival, in patients with malignant mesothelioma.
  • Determine the response rate in patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the overall and failure-free survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • Correlate pretreatment circulating serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor, and VEGF mRNA isoforms with response in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral PTK787/ZK 222584 daily. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 2 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for 1 year.
