Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • > 18 years of age
  • Recurrent pleural effusion due malignancy Malignant pleural effusions are defined as either Fluid in the context of histocytologically confirmed pleural malignancy, or pleural fluid in the context of histocytologically confirmed malignancy elsewhere, with no other clear cause for the effusion.
  • 1 or more therapeutic procedures for pleural fluid drainage prior to enrolment.
  • Written informed consent
  • Ability to comply with study procedures and ability to operate the device
  • Expected survival of more than 3 months after device insertion

Who cannot join

  • Haemothorax
  • Purulent pleural effusion
  • Significant pleural fluid septation or loculation on thoracic ultrasound or cross-sectional imaging
  • Obstructive uropathy or any bladder anomaly which might contraindicate implantation of the device.
  • Pregnant females or females anticipating pregnancy during study period.
  • Patients currently enrolled in another interventional clinical study
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Concurrently implanted with any other Active Implantable Medical Device, including, but not limited to cardiac pacemaker or cardioverter defibrillator.
  • Major comorbidity which, in the opinion of the principal investigator, is likely to significantly decrease life expectancy, increase anaesthetic risk, or lead to device removal (e.g. moderate to severe congestive heart failure, significant valvular heart disease, persistent immunosuppression, etc.)
  • Other contraindication to general anaesthesia
  • Other contraindication to procedure (e.g. uncorrectable bleeding diathesis, infection or malignant involvement over proposed insertion site)
  • Significant renal impairment, as determined by the principal investigator

About this study

This is a research study examining the safety of a new, automated pump for the drainage of fluid in the chest cavity which is caused by cancer (also known as malignant pleural effusion, or MPE). The purpose of the trial is to assess whether the new pleurapump device is safe and effective in the management of patients with MPE. The study will try to identify what kind of problems may arise from using the device, how often they happen, and how severe they are if they occur.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing The pleurapump system in people with Pleural Effusion, run by Sequana Medical N.V. at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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