Safety and Efficacy Study of Virus Activated Killer Immune Cells (VAK) for Malignant Pleural and...
Malignant Pleural EffusionMalignant Peritoneal EffusionTheory of VAK: Immune cells (T cells for example) of cancer subjects may be domesticated by the tumor microenvironment, and have low efficacy to kill cancer cells. They could be restimulated by virus antigen, and play a powerful tumor killing role while intrapleural to subjects. Releasing of tumor-associated antigen could induce specific anti-tumor immune response. Preparation of VAK: Separate the immune cells and tumor cells from Malignant Pleural and Peritoneal Effusion. Incubate the immune cells with inactivated viruses and tumor cells. Wash to remove impurities. Intrapleural the immune cells to patients
The Effectiveness and Safety of Ultrasound Elastography Guided Pleural Biopsy in the Differential...
Pleural EffusionThe goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the diagnostic effcacy and safety of ultrasound elastography guided pleural biopsy in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant pleural effusion. The main question it aims to answer are: the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound elastography guided pleural biopsy in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant pleural effusion. Participants will undergo ultrasound elastography guided pleural biopsy or traditional ultrasound-guided pleural biopsy.
Intra-pleural Administration of GL-ONC1, a Genetically Modified Vaccinia Virus, in Patients With...
Lung CancerThe purpose of this study is to test the safety of the GL-ONC1 vaccinia virus at different dose levels. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, it has on the patient and the malignant pleural effusion. A malignant pleural effusion is a build up of fluid in the chest cavity cause by the cancer.
Oncodrivers in Malignant Pleural Effusions Associated With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Prospective...
Malignant Pleural EffusionNon-small Cell Lung CancerOncological treatment of patients with disseminated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is depending on the status of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), so called oncodrivers. These can be measured in pleural fluid, but the prevalence is uncertain. In a prospective study, the research team aim to measure PD-L1, ALK and EGFR in patients with pleural fluid cytology positive for NSCLC to report the prevalence. Also, the study will investigate if the chance of obtaining oncodriver status is depending on the volume analysed and how the lack of oncodrivers influence the following work-up.
Mass Response of Tumor Cells as a Biomarker for Rapid Therapy Guidance (TraveraRTGx)
Pleural EffusionMalignant42 moreThe primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera Inc. in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from various specimen formats including malignant fluids such as pleural effusions and ascites, core needle biopsies, fine needle aspirates, or resections.
Longitudinal Follow up of Patients With Pleural Effusion
Pleural EffusionMalignant1 moreThis study aims to evaluate the clinical course of patients diagnosed with pleural effusion and determine various clinical factors and biomarkers associated that can predict the diagnosis and clinical outcome and prognosis of patients with pleural effusion due to specific causes.
A Phase Ⅲ Clinical Study of Combined Cisplatin Versus Placebo Combined With Intracavitary Cisplatin...
Malignant Pleural EffusionMalignant Pleural Effusion or Ascites is a common complication of malignant tumor, The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of Endostar/cisplatin with placebo/cisplatin in patients with malignant pleural effusion or ascites.
A Study of Intrapleural Administration of Bevacizumab and Camrelizumab for Malignant Pleural Effusion...
Malignant Pleural EffusionPatients with a variety of malignancies can develop malignant pleural effusion (MPE). MPE can cause significant symptoms and result in a marked decrease in quality of life and a poor prognosis. MPE is primarily considered as an immune and vascular manifestation of pleural metastases. The combined use of anti-angiogenic therapy and immunotherapy may be a promising strategy for MPE. This is a Phase Ib/II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of administering bevacizumab and camrelizumab into the intrapleural space of subjects with malignant pleural effusion through a pleurX catheter.
A Phase Ib/II Clinical Trial of M701 in the Treatment of Malignant Pleural Effusions Caused by NSCLC...
Malignant Pleural EffusionsNSCLC Stage IVThis is a phase 1/phase 2, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of M701 in patients with treatment of malignant pleural effusions caused by NSCLC.
Prospective Data Collection on Clinical, Radiological and Patient Reported Outcomes After Pleural...
Pleural DiseasesPleural Mesothelioma10 moreThe PROSPECT study aims to look at the number of problems or side effects which occur after patients have had a procedure completed to remove fluid or air from the space between the lung and the chest wall. Other information will also be collected to see whether anything else affects which patients have problems after the procedure such as bleeding or infection. This study will also investigate whether it is possible to find out which patients are likely to feel a lot better after the procedure. Not all patients feel significantly better but it is not clear why this is. There are a number of different reasons patients may not feel better, for example if the lung is not able to fully re-expand. The study aims to look at whether it is possible to predict these problems before the procedure using ultrasound. If it is possible to find the answers to some of these questions it might be possible to prevent patients undergoing treatments which are not likely to benefit them. The study will use information already collected as part of clinical care, as well as questionnaires from patients receiving care at a variety of centres. The different features of these centres will also be considered in analysis.
