| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the rate of objective clinical responses (CR + PR);Secondary Objective: 1) To estimate disease control rate (proportion of patients with best response of CR+PR+SD) 2) To assess the progression-free survival in treated patients 3) To evaluate qualitative and quantitative changes in cellular and humoral immune responses 4) To define toxicity profile;Primary end point(s): To assess the rate of objective clinical responses Objective tumor response, defined as a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), will be assessed using the RECIST criteria or modified RECIST criteria for assessment of response in malignant pleural mesothelioma. | — |
