Brief Summary: 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
Detailed Description: 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

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive active symptom control ASC through regular visits at a specialist clinic ASC may include steroids analgesics appetite stimulants bronchodilators andor palliative radiotherapy when required
Arm II Patients receive ASC and chemotherapy comprising mitomycin IV vincristine IV and cisplatin IV on day 1 Chemotherapy repeats every 21 days for a total of 4 courses
Arm III Patients receive ASC and vinorelbine IV over 5 minutes weekly for 6 weeks Vinorelbine repeats every 55 days for a total of 2 courses

Quality of life is assessed at baseline every 3 weeks for 21 weeks and then every 8 weeks thereafter

Patients are followed at 15 18 and 21 weeks and then every 8 weeks thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 840 patients 280 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 4 years
