Who could take part
eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically-confirmed epithelial or biphasic MPM; biphasic tumors must have a predominantly (≥50%) epithelial component 2. No more than 2 prior lines of anti-cancer therapy, one of which must have included pemetrexed and a platinum. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1 4. Adequate organ and marrow function 5. Adequate lung function; forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≥ 45% of predicted value as measured by spirometry; and oxygen saturation ≥ 90% on room air Exclusion Criteria 1. Pleurodesis within 14 days prior to first dose of study drug 2. Receiving tumor necrosis factor (TNF) pathway inhibitors, PI3 kinase inhibitors, systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug 3. Active secondary malignancy 4. Prior anti-cancer monoclonal antibody within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study drug, or not recovered from adverse effects due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier 5. Prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to first dose of study drug 6. History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis 7. Prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2 agent, or agents targeting other checkpoint pathways (e.g. CTLA-4) 8. Prior immunotherapy with CRS-207 or any other Listeria-based agent, therapeutic cancer vaccine, or adoptive T cell immunotherapy 9. Implanted medical devices that pose high risks for colonization and cannot be easily removed (e.g., artificial heart valves, pacemakers, prosthetic joints, orthopedic screw(s), metal plate(s)) if infection occurs. Other common devices such as venous access devices (e.g., Port-a-Cath or Mediport) may be permitted as well as arterial and venous stents and dental and breast implants that were placed more than 3 months prior to first dose of study drug.

  1. description
    CRS-207 and pembrolizumab will be administered in 3-week cycles. For Cycle 1, pembrolizumab (200 mg) will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion over 30 minutes on Day 1 and CRS-207 (starting dose 1 × 10e9 colony-forming units \[CFU\]) will be administered by IV infusion over 1 hour on Day 2. If the infusions are well tolerated, pembrolizumab and CRS-207 may be administered on the same day (Day 1) for subsequent cycles. After 4 cycles, pembrolizumab will continue to be administered on Day 1 at each treatment cycle (every 3 weeks); CRS-207 will be administered once every 6 weeks (every other cycle). Treatment will continue for up to 35 cycles as long as there is adequate safety and potential for clinical benefit.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    ORR was evaluated based upon the best overall response (BOR) for individual study subjects. BOR was determined by the highest post-baseline qualitative response value for each assessed subject as measured by modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (modified RECIST) for MPM (Byrne and Nowak, 2004) and given the following hierarchy of overall response results: complete response (CR) \> partial response (PR) \> stable disease (SD) \> progressive disease (PD) \> not evaluable (NE). The protocol-specified ORR was defined as the percentage of evaluable subjects with a BOR of CR or PR; however, this percentage was not calculated per the final study Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). Therefore, the number of evaluable subjects with BOR RECIST v1.1 values of CR, PR, SD, PD, and NE are provided for this outcome measure.
    measure
    Overall Response Rate (ORR)
    time Frame
    BOR was assessed from the first dose of study treatment until documented disease progression, initiation of new cancer treatment, death, or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 15 weeks.
secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    The percentage of evaluable subjects who exhibited a post-baseline tumor assessment BOR rating of CR, PR, or SD per modified RECIST for MPM.
    measure
    Disease Control Rate (DCR)
    time Frame
    BOR was assessed from the first dose of study treatment until documented disease progression, initiation of new cancer treatment, death, or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 15 weeks.
  2. description
    Number of weeks from the date of first dose of study treatment to the first date of objectively determined progressive disease (PD) (per modified RECIST for MPM) or death from any cause, estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Subjects who do not experience PD and are alive on or before the data cut-off date will be censored at the time of last tumor assessment or data cut-off date, whichever is earlier.
    measure
    Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
    time Frame
    Subjects followed for disease progression from first dose of study treatment until documented disease progression, initiation of new cancer treatment, death, or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 9 weeks.
  3. description
    Percentage of subjects with improvement in forced vital capacity (FVC), defined as an increase from baseline of either ≥400 mL or ≥20% assessed using spirometry
    measure
    Improvement in Pulmonary Function
    time Frame
    Subjects tested by spirometry at Screening and up to 7 days prior to dosing every other cycle starting at Cycle 3 until 4 weeks post final dose, assessed up to 16 weeks.
  4. description
    Number of weeks from the date of first dose of study treatment to the date of death from any cause, estimated using KM methods with 95% CIs for subjects in the SAF. Subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis were censored as of the date the subject was last known to be alive, or the data cut-off date, whichever is earlier.
    measure
    Overall Survival (OS)
    time Frame
    OS was assessed from the first dose of study treatment until death or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 25 weeks.
