PurposeNGR-hTNF consists of human tumor necrosis factor alpha (hTNF-alpha) fused to the tumor-homing peptide asparagine-glycine-arginine (NGR) able to selectively bind an aminopeptidase N isoform overexpressed on tumor blood vessels. Hypervascularity is a prominent and poor-prognosis feature of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Currently, there are no standard options for patients with MPM who are failing a front-line pemetrexed-based regimen. We explored safety and efficacy of NGR-hTNF in this setting.Patients and MethodsEligible patients had radiologically documented tumor progression and performance status
