Lung Cancer, Metastatic Cancer
Identifying Early Lung Cancer Cells in Malignant Pleural Effusion Samples From Patients With Primary Lung Cancer
RATIONALE: Studying samples of pleural fluid in the laboratory from patients with lung cancer may help doctors identify early lung cancer cells. It may also help the study of lung cancer in the future.
- Trial name
- NCT00897143
- Testing
- microarray analysis, mutation analysis, flow cytometry
- Where
- United States
- Sponsor
- Case Comprehensive Cancer Center
Malignant Pleural Effusions, Recurrent Pleural Effusions
A Comparative Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Face Talc Slurry and Iodopovidone for Pleurodesis
Pleurodesis is a technique used to fuse the two layers of the lining over the lung. This is done to get rid of collections of fluid or air in this space.
- Conditions
- Malignant Pleural Effusions, Recurrent Pleural Effusions, Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax, Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax
- Trial name
- NCT00430664
- Testing
- Pleurodesis with either talc or iodopovidone
- Where
- India
- Volunteers
- 100 people
- Sponsor
- Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh
Malignant Mesothelioma, Metastatic Cancer
Mesothelin and Osteopontin as Diagnostic Markers in Patients With Mesothelioma or Atypical Mesothelial Hyperplasia
RATIONALE: Studying levels of mesothelin and osteopontin in samples of blood from patients with mesothelioma or atypical mesothelial hyperplasia may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.
- Trial name
- NCT00899613
- Testing
- laboratory biomarker analysis, study of high risk factors
- Where
- France
- Volunteers
- 270 people
- Sponsor
- University Hospital, Caen
Pneumothorax Spontaneous Primary, Pneumothorax Spontaneous Secondary
Comparison of Talc Slurry Versus Talc Insufflation: A Study on Effectiveness, Safety, and Hospital Outcomes in Pleurodesis
Pleural effusion is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the pleural space, which typically contains about 10-20 mL of pleural fluid that is crucial for the movement of the lungs against the chest wall.
- Conditions
- Pneumothorax Spontaneous Primary, Pneumothorax Spontaneous Secondary, Pleural Effusion, Malignant, Pleurodesis
- Trial name
- NCT07167992
- Testing
- Pleurodesis
- Where
- Pakistan
- Volunteers
- 160 people
