BEAT-meso: Bevacizumab and Atezolizumab in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Sponsor: ETOP IBCSG Partners Foundation
Summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of treatment with a monoclonal antibody called atezolizumab in patients diagnosed with a type of lung cancer called malignant pleural mesothelioma. The efficacy (whether the treatment works), safety and tolerability (side effects of treatment) of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy versus bevacizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy will be investigated.
Official title: A Multicentre Randomised Phase III Trial Comparing Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab and Standard Chemotherapy Versus Bevacizumab and Standard Chemotherapy as First-line Treatment for Advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Conditions
Interventions
Carboplatin
Carboplatin belongs to the group of medicines known as alkylating agents. Carboplatin interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which eventually are destroyed.
Pemetrexed
Pemetrexed is a type of drug known as an anti metabolite. It stops cells making and repairing DNA so they can't grow and multiply.
Bevacizumab
Bevacizumab is an angiogenesis inhibitor. It works by targeting a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) that helps cancers form new blood vessels. By stopping this process, bevacizumab 'suffocates' the blood supply to the cancer, shrinking it and stopping it from growing.
Atezolizumab
Atezolizumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by blocking the action of a certain protein in cancer cells. This helps the immune system to fight against the cancer cells, and helps to slow tumor growth.
