Dasatinib in Treating Patients With Previously Treated Malignant Mesothelioma
RATIONALE: Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with previously treated malignant mesothelioma.

Who may be able to participate
The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.
- DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Histologically confirmed malignant mesothelioma of any of the following subtypes:
- Epithelial
- Sarcomatoid
- Mixed
- Any site of origin of malignant mesothelioma allowed including, but not limited to, any of the following:
