The researchers are doing this study to test the ability of a new technology called breathprinting, or electronic nose (E-Nose), to measure how people respond to standard treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The researchers will study how E-Nose breathprints change over time as people receive standard treatment for MPM. They will also look at how changes in people's E-Nose breathprints compare to changes in their standard imaging scans and in biomarkers of MPM in their blood.

At baseline (before any treatment is administered) approximately when the patient is scheduled for a CT of the Chest and/or PET/CT after initiation of any treatment, as medically permissible and at the PI's discretion. A breath sample from each patient will be captured in a cartridge, which will form the basis for the E-Nose analysis, to be performed by study investigators at UCB.
Research blood tests will be obtained at baseline and the first three standard of care follow up visits, scheduled by their treating physician along with a CT of the Chest and/or PET/CT1 to determine whether serum biomarkers of MPM.
