Filter by:This is a prospective, open-label , multicenter randomized controlled trial, with 248 cases in 50 centers planned for a period of 2 years. The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of microparticles packaging chemotherapeutic drugs (MPCD) therapy on the treatment of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) in patients with advanced lung cancer or breast cancer.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single dose of SCB-313 by intrapleural injection.To evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeated dose of SCB-313 by intrapleural injection once a day for 3 days, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SCB-313.
Thoracic ultrasonography easily detects the movement of the visceral pleura on the parietal pleura This sign is absent when pleurodesis is successful.
Title of study: Comparison of the Effectiveness of Povidone-Iodine alone to Povidone-Iodine--Tetracycline Combination for Chemical Pleurodesis in Malignant Pleural Effusion. Research design: Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial. Background: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is commonly encountered in clinical practice among patients with malignancy. In addition to its association with major morbidities, it also poses a high risk of recurrence following drainage. Chemical pleurodesis is often required to achieve pleural adhesion and obliteration of the pleural space to prevent such recurrence. Several agents are in common use for chemical pleurodesis with mixed effectiveness.
This randomized phase II study compare survival outcomes and toxicity of malignant pleural effusion stage IV non small-cell lung cancer patients Intrapleural infusion chemotherapy in combination with concurrent thoracic radiation therapy (TRT) VS not combination with concurrent thoracic radiation therapy (TRT).
This study will be a prospective, randomized trial comparing a new protocol to the standard of care. The investigators protocol and the standard of care involves a previously established procedure that will be completed in the investigators pulmonary procedure unit. The study will include using previously, well-established procedures (indwelling pleural catheter placement, talc slurry administration through an indwelling pleural catheter, pleuroscopy with talc poudrage administration) in addition to a new protocol (at home continuous drainage via indwelling pleural catheter).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and PK/PD of SCB-313 (recombinant human TRAIL-Trimer fusion protein) administered once via intrapleural injection (SAD) and once daily over 2 to 3 days (MAD)for the treatment of cancer patients with symptomatic malignant pleural effusions requiring drainage.
The primary goal of this study is to compare well-defined pleural effusion management success outcomes in patients with malignant or paramalignant pleural effusions who were treated with Indwelling pleural catheter insertion compared with those treated with siver nitrate pleurodesis. It is also to demonstrate the effectiveness of silver nitrate pleurodesis. It is also important to evaluate frequent adverse events of silver nitrate pleurodesis in patients with malignant pleural effusion
Malignant pleural effusion and/ or malignant ascites is generally defined by presence of malignant cells in the effusion fluid. The first-line therapies are mostly intrusive, medically demanding and inefficient, and therefore, it is important to study and develop new therapeutic option to address the unmet need. This protocol for BSG-001 is developed for the treatment of malignant pleural effusion and/ or malignant ascites. BSG-001 is an immune-modulator primarily exerts its effect via Toll-like receptor. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of BSG-001. All eligible subjects will receive BSG-001 for at least 12 weeks (3 cycles).
The safety and efficacy of fibrinolysis in patients with an indwelling pleural catheter for multi-loculated malignant pleural effusion.
