@Anna_Minchom : what’s next in immunotherapy for mesothelioma?

👉 T-cell engagers
👉 CAR-T
👉 Vaccines
👉 Intra-pleural vaccines

All interesting, but increasingly complex with significant toxicities. No efficacy data yet.

‘Low hanging fruit’ of immunotherapy already taken

Radiotherapy for mesothelioma

👍 Meso is radiosensitive
❌ Prophylactic tract RT
🟢 Palliative thoracic RT: ⬇️ symptoms, might ⬆️ OS (SYSTEMS-2)
❓Palliative hemithoracic RT: ⬆️ OS, but toxicity++

⚡️ Protons: x2 🇬🇧 centres
👏 HIT-Meso trial ongoing at UCL + Manchester

@dean_fennell: 2L mesothelioma options

👉 (small) subset of non-epithelioid pts do very well with Vin
🟢 Gem+Ramucirumab = ⬆️ PFS
❓ Gem maintenance = ⬆️ PFS, but a bit forgotten
🟢 Platinum rechallenge RR 50%
❓Activity in immuno rechallenge, RR up to 50%

PREDICT-Meso:
🧐 How does inflammation evolve into malignancy?
🧐 Can we diagnose mesothelioma at pre-malignant stage?

👉 80 institutions, 16 countries
👉 x5 work streams

Fantastic, ambitious, international, multi-faceted project

Time for the ever-contentious area of surgery for mesothelioma 😬

Andrea Bille reminds us of MARS2 data:
Surgery =
⬇️ OS
⬆️ SAEs
⬇️ QoL (<6m)
⬆️ Cost (£30.4K v 15.8K)

Useful additional data from Italian surgical studies

After some VERY interesting presentations, some VERY interesting questions for the panel. "The Role of Surgery and Radiotherapy" may be the most controversial session of the day.

Surgery in mesothelioma: David Waller critiques MARS2

👉 Too many non-epithelioid, older pts
👉 Too much: diaphragm resection in 80%
👉 Too late: insufficient pre-op staging

= ⬆️ complications & deaths

Post-hoc analysis: 70% pts would not now be surgical candidates
