    The NIH (Nat’l Institute of Health) is doing quite a bit on this right now. The link is: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=pleural+mesothelioma

    Here’s some additional info on a couple in TX:

    Austin : Merck

    A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Oral Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) in Patients With Advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Previously Treated With Systemic Chemotherapy

    Houston : S. R. Burzynski Clinic

    Phase II Study Of Antineoplastons A10 And AS2-1 In Patients With Mesothelioma

    Here’s more info for the one in Houston http://www.centerwatch.com/clinical-trials/listings/studydetails.aspx?StudyID=10085

    Finally, I put a link below that gives even more info, including a hyperlink to places that list these trials, many of which are non-governmental.

    There’s a lot to go through because so much is being done. I assume you know this, but as a general rule, you’d want to avoid phase I trials (which are often crap shoots) and even II if possible. Also, most cancers have online support groups. Some are insanely chattty, but others have very knowledgeable people in them. You might learn some useful info there, as well. Good luck to you !
