Adverse events

Pembrolizumab and Hypofractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Patients With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma · Source last updated 2026-02-04

Results reported by the registry submitting party. Population, time horizon, units and missing values must be read together.

Adverse events occurred during the study; they are not necessarily caused by treatment. Serious events are not interchangeable with severe/grade 3–4 events. These safety populations may differ from efficacy populations.

Collection time frame
AEs will be graded and recorded from confirmation of entry into the trial, at cycle 1 day 1 of pembrolizumab, at each of three radiotherapy fractions (cycle 1 days 15, 17, 19) and then at day 1 of each 21 day cycle, until the patients final safety follow up at 30 days after their last dose of pembrolizumab (up to 10 months). All cause mortality is recorded until death or end of trial (24 months).
Other-event reporting threshold
0%

Adverse events were assessed using CTCAE v5.0. Disease progression of the cancer under study is not considered an AE unless the investigator considers it to be IMP-related or it results in hospitalisation or prolongs existing in-patient hospitalisation or death.

Initial Safety Cohort

Patients will receive an initial dose of pembrolizumab in week 1 dosed at 200 mg. They will then receive SBRT dosed at 30 Gy in 3 fractions (#) alternate days in week 3. Treatment with pembrolizumab will be continued dosed at 200 mg given every 3 weeks. Pembrolizumab: Pembrolizumab will be continued dosed at 200 mg given every 3 weeks Drug: Pembrolizumab Pembrolizumab in week 1 dosed at 200 mg (prior to SBRT) and then treatment with pembrolizumab will be continued dosed at 200 mg given every 3 weeks.

Expansion Cohort

An additional 12 patients will be recruited for this cohort. Patients will receive an initial dose of pembrolizumab at 200 mg in week 1. This will be followed in by SBRT dosed at 30 Gy in 3 fractions (#) alternate days in week 3. Treatment with pembrolizumab will be continued dosed at 200 mg given every 3 weeks.
