 Initial Test Phase of Efficacy of Mesothelioma Drug 

According to the official statement issued by the CEO of the company, the first phase of gavo-cel drug has already been concluded on 32 patients. They were diagnosed either with peritoneal or pleural mesothelioma, bile duct cancer or ovarian cancer. 

All the above patients were first treated with different lines of treatment. 

In the statement issued, it was revealed that the team of attending doctors treated such patients with at least 5 lines of mesothelioma treatment.

 

In the course of their treatment, these patients received a single gavo-cel infusion. The group of patients were found to have completed the study and witnessed reduction in the size of their lesions. 

The reduction in the tumors of affected patients after the administration of the drug was found to range from 4% to 80%. 

On the other hand, the median overall survival of the patients having malignant pleural/peritoneal mesothelioma emerged from 11.2 months with progression free survival of 5.6 months. 

Now, after the phase 1 successful trial, the company is said to move for its phase 2 trials. 

 

Registration for Mesothelioma Study

Even though, the company registered some encouraging results in the first phase of its study, the company has now decided to further collect more data in this regard. 

In the statement Menzel stated they will further work on some and emerging data in this regard to prove the efficacy of the drug. 

Please note that the company has been progressing fast to produce some great result in its research since its T cell therapy was granted orphan drug status by the FDA.

By undergoing this procedure, doctors are able to treat or diagnose various types of pleural effusions. As Pleurocentesis is minimal invasive, doctors sometimes use it as palliative treatment for certain type of pleural mesothelioma patients.   What Is a Pleurocentesis (Thoracentesis)? As we mentioned above, Pleurocentesis is basically a surgical procedure which can be minimal invasive and used to remove excess fluid from pleural cavity of lungs using a hollow needle.

Mesothelioma is basically a type of lung cancer that occurs mainly due to the asbestos exposure over a period of several years or decades. It develops quite slowly and steadily.

And so, it mainly attacks on the linings of lungs and the rest of the abdomen. Due to the severity of mesothelioma, almost 3,000 people are diagnosed with this form of lung cancer every year. There are treatments available that can only alleviate the symptoms to some extent. But there is no complete cure available to recover a patient. In most cases, the victims of mesothelioma are known to have a life expectancy between 19-31 months. With the onset of new and advanced treatment, the survival rate can be increased.
