Brief description of study
Patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) that cannot be surgically removed will receive first-line treatment with standard chemotherapy of cisplatin or carboplatin and pemetrexed. T
Durvalumab is an antibody (a type of human protein) that works by blocking a body substance called Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1). Blocking PD-L1 helps the body's immune system attack cancer cells. Research has shown that durvalumab can slow tumor growth and shrink tumors in some people with cancer. Previous studies of combining durvalumab and chemotherapy showed that this combination is active in advanced mesothelioma.
The purpose of this study is to see whether adding durvalumab to standard chemotherapy will improve overall survival (OS) in patients with MPM.
