Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

        Both cohorts:

          -  Patients must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of epithelioid, sarcomatoid,
             or mixed-type malignant pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma that is not amenable to
             surgery.

          -  Patients must have measurable disease according to the modified RECIST criteria for
             pleural mesothelioma, or standard RECIST for peritoneal mesothelioma. Patients must
             have adequate tissue sample available for molecular profiling with MSK-IMPACT
             (archived tissue block or 15-20 unstained slides). Patients will sign a separate
             informed document (IRB #12-245) to allow this to be performed.

          -  Patients must be at least 18 years of age.

          -  Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70%.

          -  Adequate renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN.

          -  Clinical laboratory values within the following parameters (repeat if more than 7 days
             before the first dose):

             °Albumin > 2.7 g/dL

          -  Patients must have adequate hepatic function as defined by:

               -  AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN

                  symptothermal, postovulation methods] withdrawal, spermicides only, and
                  lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception.)

          -  Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post vasectomy), who:

               -  Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study
                  treatment period and through 4 months after the last dose of study drug (female
                  and male condoms should not be used together), or

               -  Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and
