Feasibility of a disposable flexible bronchoscope for thoracoscopy compared with a semi-rigid pleuroscope in pleural effusion
This study tests whether a single-use flexible bronchoscope can be used safely and effectively for medical thoracoscopy in patients with pleural effusion, compared with the standard semi-rigid pleuroscope.
-
Ex Vivo Drug Response Testing in Lung Adenocarcinoma with Malignant Pleural Effusions
This study tests whether the way cancer cells from pleural effusions respond to drugs outside the body can predict how patients will respond to treatment.
-
Intrapleural TolueneSulfonamide in malignant pleural effusion: early safety and activity
This study tests intrapleural injections of TolueneSulfonamide in adults with malignant pleural effusion to see if it is safe and could help reduce the effusion.
-
Air introduction during pleural effusion drainage for trapped lung
This study is testing if adding air during the drainage of fluid from the chest can help adults with a trapped lung feel less pain and have a better experience compared to the usual method.
-
Treatment of malignant pleural effusion with JMKX000197 injection
This study is testing a new injection called JMKX000197 to see if it can help people with malignant pleural effusion feel better when combined with a drainage procedure.
