Summary

This is a study of ADI-PEG 20 (pegylated arginine deiminase), an arginine degrading enzyme versus placebo in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Malignant pleural mesothelioma have been found to require arginine, an amino acid. Thus the hypothesis is that by restricting arginine with ADI-PEG 20, the malignant pleural mesothelioma cells will starve and die.

  • Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function

Exclusion Criteria

  • Radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons) in the previous two weeks before study treatment
