Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die It is not yet known whether receiving cisplatin with raltitrexed is more effective than cisplatin alone for malignant mesothelioma

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of cisplatin with or without raltitrexed in treating patients who have malignant mesothelioma of the pleura
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare overall survival in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma treated with raltitrexed with or without cisplatin
Assess toxicity progression free survival and quality of life with these treatment regimens in these patients
Evaluate objective response and duration of response to these treatment regimens in patients with measurable disease

OUTLINE This is a randomized open multicenter study Patients are stratified according to performance status 0 vs 1-2 and WBC count less than 8300mm3 vs 8300mm3 or more Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive cisplatin IV over 1-2 hours on day 1
Arm II Patients receive raltitrexed IV over 15 minutes followed by cisplatin IV over 1-2 hours on day 1

Treatment continues every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Quality of life is assessed before study prior to each course after the last course and then every 6 weeks for 1 year

Patients are followed every 6 weeks until death

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 240 patients will be accrued for this study over 24 months
