Clinical Trials for Mesothelioma Patients—A Study of Azacitidine in combination with Temo/Azac: Description

Read the description for a current clinical trial about the use of a Phase I dose study of Azacitidine in combination with Temo/Azac for patients with mesothelioma. Please note: this information is provided by Weitz & Luxenberg for informational purposes only.

Detailed Description:

The primary objective of the study is to determine the clinical and laboratory toxicities as well as acceptability/tolerance of this dose schedule of combined drug treatment with temozolomide and azacitidine.

Secondary objectives include determination of biochemical response to azacitidine as defined as change in methylation status. We will specifically be looking at changes in genome wide methylation patterns as determined by two high-throughput platforms:

A single nucleotide polymorphism chip-based method (MSNP) for genome wide epigenetic profiling

CpG island promoter arrays will be performed to focus on promoter methylation status.
