Abstract

Given the significant lack of effective therapies for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) was made available for use under an FDA-approved Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) protocol in 2019. In the phase 2 STELLAR study, a 68% median device usage rate (16.3 hours/day) was reported for MPM patients treated with TTFields along with platinum-based chemotherapy in the first 3 months. However, there is no reported real-world usage rate of TTFields for unresectable MPM to date and patterns of use may differ in clinical practice.
