Inclusion Criteria

1. Confirmed histological diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma. The same block or 10 unstained slides should be available for translational research
2. Prior treatment with first-line standard platinum doublet based chemotherapy. Re-challenge with first line chemotherapy is allowed.
3. Evidence of disease progression according to CT scan on Modified RECIST
4. Life expectancy = 3 months
5. ECOG performance status 0-1
6. Men or women aged 18 years or over
7. Willing to consent to provide blood and tissue for translational research
8. Disease which is measurable using modified RECIST
9. Adequate organ function, including the following: Adequate bone marrow reserve: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) = 1.5 x 109/L, WBC =3 x 109/L, haemoglobin = 100g/L, platelets = 100 x 109/L; adequate liver function: Bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN AST/ALT < 1.5- 2.5 x ULN.
10. Patients with reproductive potential (male or female), who are sexually active during the duration of the trial or the drug washout period, should be prepared to use two effective forms of contraception throughout their participation in the trial and for at least three months after the last dose of vinorelbine. Effective forms of contraception would include condom with spermicide, along with one of the following: oral contraceptive or hormonal therapy (e.g. hormone implants); placement of an inter-uterine device; vasectomy with assurance of post- vasectomy confirmation of azoospermia; tubal occlusion.

5. Known contraindication or hypersensitivity to vinorelbine or other vinca alkaloids or to any of the constituents
6. Any disease significantly affecting absorption
7. Previous significant surgical resection of stomach or small bowel
8. Yellow fever vaccine within 30 days of consent
