• Histological confirmed diagnosis of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma •
Patients that are not eligible (or willing) to undergo cytoreductive surgery
(CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) • Age >= 18 years
old • Written informed consent according to the ICH-GCP and national/local
regulations • Patients must be ambulatory (WHO-ECOG performance status 0 or 1)
• Ability to return to the Erasmus MC for adequate follow-up as required by
this protocol • Patients must have normal organ function and adequate bone
marrow reserve as assessed by the following laboratory requirements; absolute
neutrophil count >1.5 * 10^9/l, platelet count >100*10^9/l and Hemoglobin
>6.0mmol /l. Patients must have a Bilirubin < 1* x upper limit of normal (ULN),
Serum AST and ALT < 2.5 x ULN
• Extra-abdominal disease/metastatic disease established by preoperative
CT-scan of thorax-abdomen and/or PET-scan. Imaging not older than two months at
time of surgery
• Medical or psychological impediment to probable compliance with the protocol
• Serious concomitant disease or active infections
• History of auto-immune disease or organ allografts, or with active or chronic
infection, including HIV and viral hepatitis
• Serious intercurrent chronic or acute illness such as pulmonary (COPD or
asthma) or cardiac (NYHA class III or IV) or hepatic disease or other illness
considered by the study coordinator to constitute an unwarranted high risk for
participation in this study

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the maximum tolerable dose<br /><br>(MTD) of intraperitoneal (IP) paclitaxel monotherapy, for patients with<br /><br>malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) who are not eligible to undergo<br /><br>CRS-HIPEC. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>- Safety: toxicity assessment according to CTCAE version 5.0<br /><br>- Feasibility: the treatment will be considered feasible if at least 50% of<br /><br>patients are able to finish 75% (i.e. 6) of total planned cycles (i.e. 8).<br /><br>- Pharmacokinetic profile: intraperitoneal and systemic pharmacokinetic<br /><br>measurements will be obtained during the first and fourth treatment cycle, at<br /><br>time points prior to infusion, at the end of peritoneal infusion as well as<br /><br>every hour up to patients discharge. </p><br>
