Malignant Pleural Effusions

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.

Malignant Pleural EffusionStage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer1 more

This phase II trial studies how well fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG)-labeled positron emission tomography (PET) scan works in planning chemotherapy in treating patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Diagnostic imaging procedures, such as FDG-labeled PET scan, may help in guiding chemotherapy and allow doctors to plan better treatment

Impact of Aggressive Versus Standard Drainage Regimen Using a Long Term Indwelling Pleural Catheter...

Pleural EffusionMalignant

Purpose and Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine if the rate of spontaneous pleurodesis using the Pleurx® catheter could be increased by simply increasing the frequency of pleural drainage and, if so, whether catheter-related complications can be minimized and spare patients the need for long term management of the Pleurx® catheter.

Interleukin-12 and Trastuzumab in Treating Patients With Cancer That Has High Levels of HER2/Neu...

Advanced Adult Primary Liver CancerAnaplastic Thyroid Cancer125 more

Interleukin-12 may kill tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by stimulating a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-12 and trastuzumab in treating patients who have cancer that has high levels of HER2/neu and has not responded to previous therapy

Efficacy of Iodopovidone Versus Talc in Palliative Malignant Pleural Effusion

Malignant Pleural Effusion

This is prospective randomized control trial study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Iodopovidone solution for pleurodesis in palliative malignant pleural effusion (MPE) patients comparing to Talc. All adult patients who diagnosed MPE by cytology regardless primary tumor between December 1, 2015 and November 29, 2016 at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand will be enrolled in this study. The inform and consent will be applied in all patients before treatment. Patients will be randomized to two groups; Iodopovidone group (intervention group) and Talc group (control group)

Safety Profile of Iodopovidone as an Agent for Pleurodesis in Malignant Pleural Effusion

Pleural EffusionMalignant

Iodopovidone is safe when using as a pleurodesis sclerosing agent for malignant pleural effusion, with minimal adverse events, especially reducing dose.

Imatinib Mesylate and Paclitaxel in Treating Older Patients With Stage IIIB or Stage IV Non-Small...

Malignant Pleural EffusionRecurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer2 more

This phase II trial is studying how well giving imatinib mesylate together with paclitaxel works in treating older patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving imatinib mesylate together with paclitaxel may kill more tumor cells

Lung AdenocarcinomaLung Adenosquamous Carcinoma5 more

This randomized phase II trial studies how well erlotinib hydrochloride with or without carboplatin and paclitaxel works in treating patients with stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with carboplatin and paclitaxel may kill more tumor cells than giving either drug alone.

Intrapleural Bevacizumab Injection for Malignant Effusion in Lung Cancer

Non-small Cell Lung CancerMalignant Pleural Effusion

Malignant pleural or pericardial effusion is common in lung cancer, and intrapleural drugs injection is important in the treatment. Non- cytotoxic drugs include those with a sclerosing effect that produces pleurodesis, which is easy to cause severe chest pain despite of no influence on the following chemotherapy. Tumor angiogenesis is important in producing MPE. Bevacizumab has been administrated locally in treating optic nerve sickness successfully by anti-VEGF mechanism. So we hypothesize that intrapleural bevacizumab is also effective in treating MPE.
