Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This Phase I study will evaluate the safety of two doses of BG00001 at different doses and intervals. Eligible subjects will have:

* malignant pleural mesothelioma, or
* pleural effusions who have progressed through at least one prior therapy or have refused therapy

BG00001 is given twice through a catheter in the pleural space.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Ad.hIFN-β (BG00001) is a replication-defective recombinant adenoviral vector containing the human interferon-beta (hIFN-β) gene. This Phase I study is designed to evaluate the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of two doses of intrapleural (IP) Ad.hIFN-β in subjects with pleural malignancies either metastatic or pleural mesothelioma.

Five dose levels will be studied:

* Dose levels 1, 2, and 3 will be given on Days 1 and 15
* Dose levels 4 and 5 will be given on Days 1 and 8
