DRAIN: DRainage in Acute Decompensated Heart faIlure With Pleural effusioNs
The goal of this study is to assess if removal of fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) by a routine procedure called as thoracentesis is helpful to decrease shortness of breath in hospitalized patients with congestive heart failure and have pleural effusion. Researchers will compare thoracentesis with medical therapy to …
Pleural Strain by Speckle-Tracking Ultrasound: Feasibility and Driving Pressure Associations
What is this study about? This research aims to test a new ultrasound technology called "speckle tracking" to measure how much the lining of your lungs (pleura) stretches during breathing, especially if you're on a breathing machine (ventilator). Doctors want to see if this technology can help them adjust ventilator …
Study of Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy With Lenvatinib for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
In this Phase-II study, the investigators will investigate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Comparing Valve-regulated Pleural Drainage to Traditional Closed Chest Tube Drainage
Thoracic drainage is an important adjunctive treatment following thoracic surgery, primarily aimed at removing postoperative blood, air, and exudate from the thoracic cavity. It helps maintain negative pressure in the thoracic cavity, promotes full lung expansion, and prevents pulmonary complications, especially atelectasis. Traditional closed thoracic drainage methods have many limitations. …
Genetic Susceptibility in MAlignant Pleural Mesothelioma: Clinical Implication of GermliNE variaTionS
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive neoplasm of the pleural mesothelium, mainly associated to asbestos exposure, still lacking effective therapies. Asbestos is a not-mutagenic agent: its nanosized fibres directly interact with tyrosine kinases (TKs) (e.g. EGFR) and may induce inappropriate receptor dimerization and activation, in absence of …
Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs in Pleurodesis
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are recommended in a multimodal pain management to reduce pain intensity and to spare opioid use. However, there is a controversy in its use in pleurodesis surgery as it could block the process of pleurodesis in surgical pneumothorax. In addition, NSAIDs could increase the risk of …
TTFields in General Routine Clinical Care in Patients With Pleural Mesothelioma Study
The purpose of this post-authorisation medical device study is to obtain real life data on the use of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in patients with pleural mesothelioma in routine clinical care. Patients with pleural mesothelioma and clinical indication for TTFields treatment will be enrolled in the study after signing Informed …
Atezolizumab Versus Placebo for the Adjuvant Treatment of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (Atezomeso)
This is a multicentric double-blind, placebo controlled, phase III trial. In this study, patients who underwent to a surgical resection of pleural mesothelioma and are without signs of macroscopic residual disease will be randomized 2:1 to receive atezolizumab or placebo. Patients will be treated for 12 months or until recurrence, …
Dual-Target MSLN/FAP CAR-NK Cells for Pleural and Peritoneal Mesothelioma
This example study evaluates locoregional allogeneic dual-target mesothelin/FAP CAR-NK cells in adults with unresectable, recurrent, or refractory pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma. Eligible participants must have central confirmation of MSLN-positive tumor cells and FAP-positive tumorassociated stroma. The phase 1 portion defines the recommended phase 2 dose and schedule, and the phase …
Feasibility Study of Novice-Performed Lung Ultrasound for Pneumothorax Detection After Cardiac Surgery
What is the purpose of this study? This study is being done to find out if medical trainees (such as residents and fellows) can learn to use lung ultrasound to detect a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) after heart surgery. Who is participating in the study? Adults who have recently had heart …
