Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients with proven malignant pleural mesothelioma, who have progressive disease after chemotherapy in first or second line.
  • Patients with histological or cytological diagnosed malignant pleural mesothelioma and age \>18 years.
  • Medically suitable for limited surgical intervention (pleural biopsies up to limited pleurectomy).
  • Not considered candidates for trimodality treatment (as part of a study).
  • Measurable or evaluable disease (see tumor response assessment).
  • Ability to understand the study and give signed informed consent prior to beginning of protocol specific procedures including the approval of a second thoracoscopy or transthoracic pleural biopsy after the third course.
  • Radiotherapy is allowed when this is given for palliation of painful sites, the interval is \> 12 weeks, not more than 1/3 of the bone marrow capacity or all tumor is within the irradiation field.
  • WHO performance status 0 or 1\.
  • Adequate organ function as evidenced by the following peripheral blood counts or serum chemistries at study entry:
  • Hematology: Neutrophil count \= 1\.5 x 109/l, Platelets \= 150 x 109/l, Hemoglobin \= 6,0 mmol/l.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Active uncontrolled infection, severe cardiac dysfunction or uncorrectable bleeding tendency.
  • Inability to perform biopsies of the pleural lesions.
  • Symptomatic peripheral neuropathy \= grade 2 according to NCI CTC, version 4\.0\.
  • Presence of symptomatic CNS metastases.
  • Unstable peptic ulcer, unstable diabetes mellitus or other serious disabling condition.
  • Impaired renal function: creatinine clearance less than 50ml/min.
  • Concomitant administration to any other experimental drugs under investigation.
  • Patients are excluded if they have an active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Subjects are permitted to enroll if they have vitiligo, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune condition only requiring hormone replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger
  • Patients are excluded if they have a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other immuno\-suppressive medications within 14 days of study drug administration. Inhaled or topical steroids and adrenal replacement doses \< 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.
  • Patients are excluded if they have had prior treatment with an anti\-PD\-1, anti\-PD\-L1, anti\-PD\-L2, anti\-CTLA\-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T\-cell co\-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways
