About this study

Treatment of recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax remains controversial and many therapeutic options exist. The aim of this study is to compare pleural symphysis by talc poudrage during medical thoracoscopy and surgical management combining pleural abrasion and blebs or bullae resection for treatment of recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax.

Read the detailed description

Treatment of recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax remains controversial and many therapeutic options exist. What is the best technical option : treatment of the lung and the parietal pleura or treatment of the pleura with pleural symphysis ? Talc pleurodesis performed during medical thoracoscopy and resection of blebs or bullae associated with pleural abrasion during surgical thoracoscopy (or video-assisted thoracic surgery) are the most usual methods. These two procedures have never been compared in a prospective trial. The aim of this study is to compare pleural symphysis by talc poudrage during medical thoracoscopy and surgical management combining pleural abrasion and blebs or bullae resection for treatment of recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing talc pleurodesis under medical thoracoscopy and pleurodesis under video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery in people with Pneumothorax, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

to show the non-inferiority of talc pleurodesis under medical thoracoscopy versus pleurodesis under video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery for recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax (time frame: 36 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Aug 2015.
