Abstract Background The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin gemcitabine in patients with diffuse malignant pleural mesothelioma MPM pretreated with pemetrexed. Methods The study enrolled consecutive patients with relapsed MPM all of them pretreated with a platin-pemetrexed-based chemotherapy. Oxaliplatin 80 mg m2 was administered as monotherapy or in combination with gemcitabine 1000 mg m2 given on day 1 and 8. Cycles were repeated every 21 days. The primary endpoints were response rate and disease control rate. Secondary endpoints included overall survival OS time to tumour progression TTP .
