Tokyo, April 15 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061258) titled 'Exploratory study of predictive biomarkers for treatment response using pleural effusion in pleural mesothelioma' on April 14.

Study Type: Observational

Primary Sponsor: Institute - NHO Yamaguchi Ube Medical Center

Condition: Condition - Pleural mesothelioma and other diseases associated with pleural effusion Classification by malignancy - Malignancy Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To identify soluble biomarkers in pleural effusion from patients with pleural mesothelioma that predict response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Basic objectives2 - Others

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old <= Age-upper limit - Not applicable Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - 1. Patients histologically diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma or patients suspected of having pleural mesothelioma based on imaging findings. 2. Patients with pleural effusion who are scheduled to undergo pleural effusion sampling. 3. Patients aged 18 years or older who provide written informed consent, or whose legally authorized representative provides written informed consent. 4. Patients who, at the time of registration, are considered eligible for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy if pleural mesothelioma is confirmed by pathological diagnosis. Key exclusion criteria - 1. Patients who are judged to be ineligible for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy at the time of screening. 2. Patients with acute empyema or pneumothorax (patients with iatrogenic pneumothorax associated with thoracentesis may be enrolled). 3. Patients who are judged by the principal investigator or sub-investigators to be inappropriate for participation in this study. Target Size - 150
