Phase I Evaluation of Immunotoxin LMB-100 Administered by Normothermic, Intrapleural Perfusion Following...
Malignant Pleural Mesotheliomas (Mpm)Malignant Pleural Effusions (Mpe)5 moreBackground: Cancers that spread into the thin tissue lining your lungs (pleura) cause serious illness. They often recur when removed. These tumors include malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), caused by exposure to asbestos and related fibers. Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are caused when cancers in other parts of the body spread to the lungs and pleura. Many people diagnosed with pleural tumors survive less than a year. Objective: To test the safety of a study drug (LMB-100) in people. LMB-100 may help stop pleural tumors from recurring after surgery. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older diagnosed with MPM or related cancer that has spread into the pleura. Design: Participants will undergo screening. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have CT scans. They will have tests that measure the how their heart and lungs function. They will provide a sample of tumor tissue to determine if their tumor expresses a protein called mesothelin. Participants will undergo standard surgery to maximally remove the plural tumors. Then they will have LMB-100 pumped into their chest. The liquid will rinse the chest wall, diaphragm, heart sac, and surface of the lungs for 90 minutes. Then the liquid will be drained and the surgical incisions closed. The participants will be under anesthesia during this procedure. Participants will remain in the intensive care unit for a least 48 hours. They will remain in the hospital for up to a week or more until recovered enough to be safely discharged. Participants will return for regular follow-up visits for 2 years.
A Phase I Study of JMKX000197 Injection in the Treatment of Malignant Pleural Effusion
Malignant Pleural EffusionA Phase I, Open, Multicenter Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerance, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Preliminary Efficacy of JMKX000197 Injection in the Treatment of Malignant Pleural Effusion

Malignant Pleural EffusionMalignant Pleural Mesothelioma2 moreThis is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, translational Phase 1/2 dose-escalation and expansion study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of RSO-021 after intrapleural (IP) administration in patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) (non-mesothelioma) and MPE from mesothelioma.
Dual-targeting HER2 and PD-L1 CAR-T for Cancers With Pleural or Peritoneal Metastasis
Peritoneal Carcinoma MetastaticPleural Effusion1 moreSerosal cavity metastasis of malignant tumor is one of the late complications, which seriously affects the quality of life and survival time of patients. HER-2 is frequently expressed in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer and other malignant tumors. The HER-2/PD-L1 dual-targeting CAR-T will be investigated in patients with HER2 positive solid tumor serosal cavity metastases.
Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) - Surgical Pleurodesis vs Tube Drainage in Management...
Malignant Pleural EffusionThoracic CancerMalignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) is considered to be a common presentation at malignant tumors representing 15% of all cancer cases. It carries a burden on our patients with dyspnea being the most common symptom in most of cases. Management of symptomatic malignant pleural effusion remains to be a point of debate. Data available from literature shows conflicting results lacking high quality evidence which necsscitates further research work. Options differs to include chemical pleurodesis using medical or surgical talc poudrage or slurry. Surgical intervention with abrasion pleurodesis or pleurectomy using VATS approach has been used in many studies. Using indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) has also proved comparable efficacy at many clinical trials. In this study we want to help answering this question so that we can add to the current knowledge aiming to offer the best care for those patients
Comparing Different Sizes of Small-bore Chest Drains in Malignant Pleural Effusion
Pleural EffusionMalignant2 moreMalignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a very common medical condition, especially among patients with disseminated cancers. Chest drain insertion aims to drain the pleural fluid collection and relieve dyspnea. Small bore chest tubes are recommended as the first line therapy for draining pleural effusions. However, there is no clinical data available to inform on the size of drains for better drainage. This is a randomized study comparing the two common bores of small bore chest drains in Hong Kong, and assess for its clinical efficacy and complication risks.
AMPLE-3: IPC Plus Talc vs VATS in Management of Malignant Pleural Effusion
Malignant Pleural EffusionRespiratory Disease1 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine if an indwelling catheter is more effective than surgical pleurodosis in treating malignant pleural effusion. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who is suffering from symptomatic proven pleural malignancy or an otherwise unexplained pleural effusion. Study details Consenting participants will be randomised to one of two treatment arms: Arm 1: Indwelling pleural catheter. A long term catheter is inserted under the skin in order to allow ongoing drainage of the pleural fluid. Participants will then be instructed to undergo a daily drainage regimen for 14 days at home. Arm 2: Surgical pleurodesis. Participants under a key-hole surgery to remove fluid and facilitate lung re-expansion. Participants will then be followed up at discharge, 14 days, monthly for 6 months and then every 3 months up to one year post-procedure. These visits will include completion of Quality of Life questionnaires, a chest xray, an ultrasound (if thought necessary) and if you are at the lead site (Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital) a review of your Actigraphy logs up to 6 months after discharge. It is hoped this research will help to provide effective symptom control with minimal intervention for those with malignant pleural effusion.
Efficacy and Safety Study of Medical Thoracoscope Cryotherapy Combined Standard First-line Treatment...
Non Small Cell Lung CancerThis study intends to investigate the efficacy and safety of medical thoracoscopic cryotherapy combined with standard first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with malignant pleural effusion through a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Primary Percutaneous Pericardiotomy for Malignant Pericardial Effusion (PMAP)
Pericardial Effusion MalignantPericardial effusion is a common complication in patients with metastatic malignancy. While pericardiocentesis provide effective relieve from life-threatening situation such as cardiac tamponade, recurrence of pericardial effusion after pericardiocentesis is common. We hypothesize that percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy in addition to standard pericardiocentesis with prolonged drainage can prevent pericardial effusion recurrence in patients with malignant pericardial effusion.
