NGR015: Randomized Double-blind Phase III Study of NGR-hTNF Plus Best Investigator's Choice (BIC) Versus Placebo Plus BIC in Previously Treated Patients With Advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM)
Currently, there are no regulatory-approved or widely accepted treatment options for
patients failing a standard pemetrexed-based chemotherapy regimen.
For this reason, the best supportive care (BSC) alone might be considered as a standard
reference for a randomized phase III trial in this setting.
However, single-agent chemotherapeutic agents (such as doxorubicin,gemcitabine, or
vinorelbine) with a well-documented safety profile and antitumor activity are also used in
clinical practice.
Therefore, the best investigator's choice (BIC) between either best supportive care alone or
combined with a few selected single-agent chemotherapy (including doxorubicin, gemcitabine,
or vinorelbine) might be considered as an acceptable reference arm as well in this setting.
The current phase III study aims to show a superior efficacy in terms of overall survival
duration of NGR-hTNF 0.8 µg/mq weekly plus BIC versus placebo plus BIC in advanced MPM
patients progressing after a standard pemetrexed-based chemotherapy.
