Malignant mesothelioma is a rare malignancy with a median survival, ranging from 4 to 18 months in untreated patients. In a phase II study of patients with mesothelioma, the efficacy and toxicity of ifosfamide and mesna was evaluated. Twenty-nine previously untreated patients, with histologically proven and unresectable mesothelioma, entered the study. Three patients were later excluded from the study due to revision of the diagnoses. The patients had to have bidimensionally measurable disease by CT scans and a WHO performance status ≤3. Eligible patients received ifosfamide 3000 mg/m 2 per day for 3 days as a 1-h infusion and mesna 1800 mg/m 2 per day for 3 days every third week. Dose modifications were made according to the degree of hematologic, neurologic and renal toxicity. Response to treatment was evaluated in accordance with WHO criteria. The median age of patients was 59 years (range 39–68), 18 patients (69%) had a history of asbestos exposure and the median of treatment cycles was four (range 1–10). No complete responses were observed. One patient obtained a partial response after five cycles with a duration of response of 25 months. Nine patients (35%) had stable disease, while 13 (54%) progressed. The median survival for all patients was 10 months. The toxicity of the treatment was considerable. Thirteen patients (50%) had grade 4 leucopenia, ten patients (38%) had grade 3 or 4 reversible neurotoxicity and ten patients (38%) had grade 3 or 4 nausea and vomiting. Eleven patients (42%) went off the study due to the toxicity of the treatment. In conclusion, ifosfamide did not show any substantial activity of relevance in malignant mesothelioma at the dose level investigated, in spite of considerable toxicity.
