Impact of Pleural Manometry on the Assessment and Treatment of Malignant Pleural Effusion: A Pilot Clinical Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if performing a pleural fluid drainage (thoracentesis) together with the measurement of pressure inside the chest (pleural manometry) during the same procedure can help doctors choose the best treatment for each patient with malignant pleural effusion.The main questions it aims …
Study of RSO-021 in Patients With Malignant Pleural Effusion Due to Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors Including Mesothelioma
This 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.
Impact of Patient Position on Chemical Pleurodesis by Chest Ultrasound
chemical pleurodesis using doxycycline is an acceptable and commonly employed palliation for malignant pleural effusion. Rotation of patient during pleurodesis using the powder from doxycycline capsule is still practiced in some centers. The benefit of rotation practice in pleurodesis can be verified after properly designed study on the outcome of …
Tocilizumab Delivered Via Pleural and Peritoneal Catheters in Patients With Advanced Metastatic Cancer
The purpose of this study to find out if tocilizumab can be safely infused into chest or abdominal cavities of patients with malignancy ascites (MA) or malignant pleural effusions (MPE). Patients will have a total of 4 doses, one dose administered each week. Each dose will be greater than the …
Dual-targeting HER2 and PD-L1 CAR-T for Cancers With Pleural or Peritoneal Metastasis
Serosal 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 …
A Study of MT027 in Patients with Pleural Malignant Tumors
This is a phase I open label, single-arm, dose-escalation study to evaluate the feasibility, safety, tolerability, PK/PD, and to determine RP2D of MT027 via an locoregional delivery in subjects with pleural malignant tumors, who have previously received standard of care therapy.. Subjects meeting the study entry criteria including having tumor …
Feasibility of Ambulatory Talc. Pleurodesis
Patients with malignant pleural disease often experience a significant symptom burden and a short life expectancy. The cornerstone of their treatment is relieving breathlessness by draining fluid from around the lungs and attempting to prevent further fluid build up. Inpatient chest drainage and talc pleurodesis remains the most successful method …
Outcomes of a Single Chest Drain vs Two Drains
Esophagectomy is a major surgical procedure done for carcinoma of esophagus. Usually bilateral chest tubes are placed in surgery for prevention of fluid accumulation in chest. However such procedure limits patients mobility and increases severity of pain. recent studies suggest that a single drain can be safe and effective. our …
Clinical Study on Intraluminal Injection of FOLactis
This clinical study is a single arm, prospective, single center clinical study on the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of a novel FOLactis in situ vaccine in the treatment of advanced solid tumors with malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion. The safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of intraluminal injection of FOLactis …
Clinical Utility of Portable Dynamic Chest X Ray (DDR) in the ICU
Dynamic digital radiography (DDR) is a new advanced version of chest radiography that captures dynamic images at a rate of 15 frames per second. It is coupled with an analytical software that allows it to provide more advanced measures of lung motion, ventilation, and perfusion compared to traditional chest radiography. …
