Pleural Irrigation With a Novel Devise.
Single-arm pilot trial of the use of intrapleural saline irrigation to treat retained pleural infections for patients with contraindications to standard of care intrapleural enzymatic therapy.
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 …
Multidimensional Omics Analysis in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and incurable cancer. Most patients are diagnosed with unresectable disease for which treatment options are limited. The lack of prognostic biomarkers further complicates the decision-making. Recently, the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has marked a shift but has failed to produce significant …
Organoid-guided Personalized Treatment of Pleural Effusion
The study is a single-arm, single-center clinical research that utilizes patient-derived tumor organoids to predict drug sensitivity, thereby assisting clinicians in formulating treatment plans to benefit lung cancer patients with pleural effusion. This study is divided into three parts: acquisition of clinical samples from patients, in vitro organoid culture and …
Partial Pleurectomy (Surgery) for Unresectable Pleural Mesothelioma
Purpose of the study: The main purpose of this research study is to see if a surgery procedure (limited partial pleurectomy and decortication) helps symptoms in people who have cancer that is unresectable that might not be able to be removed completely. This is called unresectable cancer. This study will …
CT-guided Lung Biopsy Risk Optimization Method
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the extent to which injection of a small amount of fluid in the pleural cavity at the biopsy site may reduce the risk of pneumothoraces, in addition to patient positioning to allow biopsy in gravity-dependent areas of the lung.
Hemithoracic Irradiation With Proton Therapy in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Phase III randomised-controlled trial for patients with unilateral malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM).
Propranolol Treatment for Postoperative Chylothorax
Postoperative chylothorax is a serious complication after open heart surgery for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). While it was thought to be mechanical injury to the thoracic duct, recent research demonstrated that there are intrinsically abnormal lung lymphatics in CHD patients, and after open heart surgery, the fluid …
Application of Transthoracic Shear-wave Ultrasound Elastography in Pleural Lesions
This study aims to provide the information of tissue elasticity in different etiologies of pleural lesions and to validate the predictive value of shear-wave elastography in differentiating benign pleural lesions from malignant lesions.
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 …
