Study of CBP501 + Pemetrexed + Cisplatin on MPM (Phase I/II)

This is an open-label, multicenter, international, phase I-II study. The phase I part, a dose-finding study of escalating doses of CBP501 combined with fixed full-dose cisplatin and pemetrexed, has been completed and results are presented in this report. MTD was determined on DLT occurring during the first cycle. This phase I part was evaluated in a patient population with advanced solid tumors The phase II part will evaluate full-dose cisplatin and pemetrexed combined with CBP501 at the MTD determined in the phase I part. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to pemetrexed, cisplatin and CBP501 (Arm A) or pemetrexed and cisplatin (Arm B). This phase II part will be evaluated in chemotherapy-naïve patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma Randomization will be stratified by: * Histology: epithelial vs other (sarcomatoid or biphasic) * Performance status: 0-1 vs 2
