The hemagglutinating virus of Japan envelope (HVJ-E) is an inactivated Sendai virus particle with antitumor effect and inducing antitumor immunity. However, its dosage and efficacy have not been verified. We conducted a phase I clinical study on chemotherapy-resistant malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) aiming to determine the recommended dosage for a phase II study through dose-limiting toxicity and evaluate HVJ-E’s preliminary efficacy. HVJ-E was administered intratumorally and subcutaneously to the patients with chemotherapy-resistant MPM. While no serious adverse events occurred, known adverse events of HVJ-E were observed. In the preliminary antitumor efficacy using modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) criteria, three low-dose patients exhibited progressive disease, while all high-dose patients achieved stable disease, yielding disease control rates (DCRs) of 0% and 100%, respectively. Furthermore, the dose-dependent effect of HVJ-E revealed on DCR modified by RECIST and the baseline changes in target lesion size (by CT and SUL-peak; p < 0.05). Comparing targeted lesions receiving intratumoral HVJ-E with non-injected ones, while no clear difference existed at the end of the study, follow-up cases suggested stronger antitumor effects with intratumoral administration. Our findings suggest that HVJ-E could be safely administered to patients with chemotherapy-resistant MPM at both study doses. HVJ-E exhibited some antitumor activity against chemotherapy-resistant MPM, and higher doses tended to have stronger antitumor effects than lower doses. Consequently, a phase II clinical trial with higher HVJ-E doses has been conducted for MPM treatment. Trial registration number: UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (#UMIN000019345).
