Mesothelioma
Plain English clinical trial information, updated daily from ClinicalTrials.gov and public government registries. Not medical advice.
How these figures are counted
- Trials on record is every trial tagged to this condition at any stage, except those withdrawn before starting or terminated early. Most are completed rather than ongoing, so this is a measure of research history, not of current activity. It is also smaller than the sitewide "trials tracked" figure, which does include withdrawn and terminated trials.
- Recruiting now counts only trials whose registry status is "Recruiting". Trials listed as not yet recruiting or enrolling by invitation are excluded, so this understates how many may open to new participants soon.
- Australian sites counts trials counted under "Recruiting now" that list at least one Australian site. A site being listed does not mean it is currently enrolling, and Australian trials registered only on ANZCTR are not counted yet, so this understates local availability.
- Phase 3 trials counts trials counted under "Recruiting now" that are at Phase 3.

Understanding Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops in the thin layer of tissue that lines certain organs in the body, most commonly the lungs and chest cavity. This lining is called the mesothelium. The cancer is almost always linked to past exposure to asbestos, a fibrous material that was widely used in building and construction products throughout Australia for much of the 20th century. Because symptoms can take anywhere from 20 to 50 years to appear after exposure, many people are diagnosed later in life, often in their 60s, 70s, or 80s.
Australia has one of the highest rates of mesothelioma in the world, largely because of the country's heavy use of asbestos in homes, ships, factories, and other workplaces before it was fully banned in 2003. Around 700 to 800 Australians are diagnosed each year. The disease is more common in men, reflecting historical patterns of who worked in industries like construction, mining, and manufacturing, though women and family members can also be affected through indirect contact with asbestos fibres brought home on clothing.
Treatment is managed by a team of specialists and is planned based on the type and stage of the cancer, as well as a person's overall health. Options that doctors commonly discuss include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and in some cases surgery. The focus of treatment may be on slowing the cancer's growth, managing symptoms, or both. Palliative care, which helps people feel as comfortable as possible, is also an important part of care at any stage. Your medical team is the best source of information about what options may be relevant for your specific situation.

Advocacy and support in Australia
Organisations that can offer information, support, or connection for Mesothelioma. Where more than one is listed, they serve different needs or regions, so choose whichever fits your situation.
There is no single national mesothelioma organisation. Support is available through state based asbestos disease organisations, such as the Asbestos Council of Victoria/GARDS and the Asbestos Diseases Society of South Australia, and through the National Centre for Asbestos Related Diseases in WA.
This is a starting point, not medical advice or an endorsement. Contact details change; search the organisation name to find its current website.
