简要总结

RATIONALE: Active symptom control may decrease chest pain, breathlessness, sweating, and general discomfort in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. It is not yet known if active symptom control is more effective with or without chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying active symptom control and chemotherapy to see how well they work compared to active symptom control alone in treating patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the overall survival of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma treated with active symptom control (ASC) alone vs ASC and mitomycin, vinblastine, and cisplatin vs ASC and vinorelbine.

Secondary

  • Compare the toxic effects of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare symptom palliation (chest pain, breathlessness, malaise, and sweating attacks) in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the performance status of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare analgesic usage in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the tumor response and progression-free survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.
