Recruiting studies
- NCT05543330RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
M701 for lung cancer with pleural effusion
This trial tests a new drug called M701 for people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the lung, causing fluid buildup (pleural effusion). It aims to see if M701 can help control the fluid and improve symptoms.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05511987Recruiting
Thopaz+ digital chest tube vs standard drainage in kids
This study compares a digital chest tube drainage system (called Thopaz+) to the usual (analog) drainage in children who need a chest tube. The goal is to see if the digital system works better or is easier for recovery after a pneumothorax or lung surgery.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges birth–17 years - NCT05546996Recruiting
Study of pressure readings from existing brain drains
This study collects brain pressure measurements using an external ventricular drain you may already have. It may help researchers better understand how these drains and pressures relate.
Houston, TexasAges 1–21 - NCT05253352Recruiting
Track lymph fluid flow in arms after breast lymph node surgery
This study uses mapping tests to understand how lymph fluid drains in the arm after breast cancer surgery. It may help improve future treatments for arm swelling or drainage problems, but it is mainly for specific past surgical histories.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03984656RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve-block pain control during lung fluid drainage in ICU
This trial tests whether a specific pain-relief nerve block (given with numbing medicine) can make pleural drainage in the ICU more comfortable. It may help reduce pain during the procedure for people who are awake and breathing on their own.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for drainage?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 101 recruiting drainage studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a drainage trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a drainage trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
