Clinical Trials for Mesothelioma Patients: Pemetrexed, Cisplatin, and Vitamin B12

Read about a current clinical trial being conducted to study the effects of Pemetrexed, Cisplatin, and Vitamin B12 for patients who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma. Please note: this information is provided by Weitz & Luxenberg for informational purposes only. At this time, this study is only being conducted in Lille, France.

Pemetrexed, Cisplatin, and Vitamin B12 in Treating Patients With Mesothelioma of the Chest That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery

Rationale:

Pemetrexed may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving pemetrexed together with cisplatin and vitamin B12 may kill more tumor cells.

Purpose:

This phase II clinical trial is studying how well giving pemetrexed together with cisplatin and vitamin B12 works in treating patients with mesothelioma of the chest that cannot be removed by surgery.

Requisite Conditions:

Malignant Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma & Asbestosis Mortalities Across the US: 1979-2001 (c/o EWG)

“We have seen first-hand how asbestos has wreaked havoc on Americans working in naval shipyards, automobile plants, and the construction industry. Most often this is through their employers’ conscious choice for profits over a worker's health.”

-- Joseph Patrick Williams, a trial attorney in the Asbestos Litigation department of Weitz & Luxenberg
