About this trial

This clinical trial aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of a new treatment combination-Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab (QL1706, a dual-function antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4) combined with chemotherapy-for patients with malignant mesothelioma (MM). MM is a rare and aggressive cancer often linked to asbestos exposure. Current treatments have limited success, and this study seeks to explore a potentially more effective and safer option.

Study Design:

Phase Ib (Safety Phase): 6 patients will receive the combination therapy to assess safety. If no major safety issues arise, the study will proceed to Phase II.

Phase II (Efficacy Phase): 49 patients will be enrolled to evaluate treatment effectiveness. The study includes two groups for first-line treatment and second-line treatment.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subjects must provide informed consent prior to initiating any study-specific procedures.

Male or female subjects aged ≥18 and ≤75 years.

Histologically/cytologically confirmed malignant mesothelioma (MM), including malignant pleural mesothelioma (PM) and malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (PeM).

Subjects with MM unsuitable for radical resection and/or radiotherapy per AJCC 8th Edition.

Disqualifiers

Prior CTLA-4 inhibitors prohibited; prior PD-1/PD-L1 allowed unless discontinued for immune toxicity

Immunomodulators within 14 days (e.g., thymosin, interleukin-2, interferon)

Significant cardiovascular history within 6 months

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • iparomlimab and tuvonralimab (Dual PD-1/CTLA-4 blockade) + chemotherapy

    Drug

    Novel Bispecific Checkpoint Inhibition: QL1706(iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab) was generated by using MabPair, a new technological platform that enables the production of two antibodies close to their natural forms from a single host cell line and is manufactured as one product. QL1706 contains a mixture of anti-PD-1 IgG4 and anti-CTLA-4 IgG1 that were produced together in a fixed ratio. Each antibody was individually optimized to achieve desirable target coverage and antibody effector functions. Chemotherapy for first-line treatment (pemetrexed plus cisplatin or carboplatin ) Chemotherapy for second-line treatment (pemetrexed, gemcitabine or vinorelbine)
