Testing the Addition of Immunotherapy Before Surgery for Patients With Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma

June 1, 2026 updated by: Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology

Official Title Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy in Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma

This phase II trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of giving immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) before surgery for controlling disease in patients with stage I-IIIa sarcomatoid mesothelioma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving immunotherapy before surgery may be more effective at controlling disease in patients with sarcomatoid mesothelioma than giving immunotherapy alone.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the percentage of patients with potentially resectable non-epithelioid mesothelioma who are able to proceed with surgery after neoadjuvant ipilimumab and nivolumab.

II. To determine the progression-free survival rate at 12 months after the initiation of neoadjuvant ipilimumab and nivolumab.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the rate of intra-operative or post-operative complications following neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

II. Best response per modified pleural Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

III. Major pathologic response rate. IV. Time to recurrence after surgery.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the association between the change in peripheral T cell clonality relative to baseline and treatment response.

II. To evaluate the association between PD-L1 expression at baseline and treatment response.

III. To evaluate whether a novel mesothelioma immune signature identified by Dr. Mansfield's laboratory is predictive of response.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive nivolumab intravenously (IV), ipilimumab IV, and may undergo surgery on study. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) throughout the trial.

  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
  • Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better
  • Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
  • STEP 2 ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Completion of at least 1 cycle of treatment and not have an unresolved adverse event that would preclude surgery
  • STEP 2 ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: No evidence of progression that would preclude resection
  • STEP 2 ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: ECOG performance status =< 2 or Karnofsky >= 60%
  • STEP 2 ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) > 35% and postoperative predicted diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) > 35%
  • STEP 2 ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Registration to step 2 no less than 21 days and no more than 90 days after the last dose of neoadjuvant therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No patients deemed to be unresectable or poor surgical candidates
  • No patients with chest wall invasion, peritoneal spread, contralateral pleural involvement, mediastinal organ involvement, vertebral involvement, or metastases to contralateral intrathoracic lymph nodes, or any supraclavicular nodes
  • No patients with a history of symptomatic interstitial lung disease

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Surgery Rate
Time Frame: immediately after the completion of neoadjuvant immunotherapy and surgery
The rate of surgery after neoadjuvant immunotherapy among the feasibility analysis population as well as the 80% and 95% exact Clopper-Pearson confidence intervals will be estimated.
immediately after the completion of neoadjuvant immunotherapy and surgery
Progression free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: At 12 months after initiation of neoadjuvant immunotherapy
PFS will be determined per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. The rate of PFS at 12 months after the initiation of neoadjuvant immunotherapy among the feasibility and efficacy analysis population as well as the 80% and 95% exact Clopper-Pearson confidence intervals will be estimated.
At 12 months after initiation of neoadjuvant immunotherapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of adverse events
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
The type of adverse events, the frequency of each type and its grade will be summarized. The frequency and the percentage of severe adverse events will be presented in bar charts over treatment phase (neoadjuvant immunotherapy, surgery) to describe the change of adverse event or complication severity over time. The rates of the pre-operative or post-operative complications (within 30 days of surgery) will be estimated with its exact 95% confidence interval.
Up to 5 years
Objective response rate
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
Will be determined per modified RECIST. Response rate will be reported with 95% exact confidence interval.
Up to 5 years
Major pathologic response
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
Defined as =< 10% residual viable tumor in the resected lung and lymph node tissue. Response rates will be reported with 95% exact confidence interval.
Up to 5 years
Time to recurrence
Time Frame: Time from surgery to disease relapse, progression, or second tumor, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
Time to recurrence will be estimated among those patients who receive surgery and will be characterized by estimating cumulative incidence function and conducting cause-specific and subdistribution hazard regression.
Time from surgery to disease relapse, progression, or second tumor, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Biomarkers
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
The association of pre-treatment and on-treatment biomarkers in peripheral blood and in tumor tissues with response and time to recurrence, will be evaluated univariately through Chi-square test or log-rank test and through logistic regression model or Cox regression model with other prognostic factors adjusted.
Up to 5 years
