Recruiting studies
- NCT07636252Recruiting
Testing lung cancer drugs on your fluid sample
This study collects fluid that builds up around your lungs (pleural effusion) during a drainage procedure you already need. Researchers test how different drugs affect your cancer cells in the lab to help predict which treatments might work best for you.
Ramat Gan, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT07419360Recruiting
Draining fluid from lungs in heart failure
This study tests whether draining fluid from around the lungs can help people with heart failure who are in the hospital. It looks at how this procedure affects breathing and recovery.
Albany, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06709456Recruiting
Draining fluid from lungs in the ICU
This trial tests whether draining fluid that builds up around the lungs helps patients with breathing problems in the intensive care unit. You may be eligible if you are in the ICU, have at least 2 cm of fluid on an ultrasound or CT scan, and need extra oxygen or a breathing machine.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT07012759Recruiting
Study of fluid markers in lung adenocarcinoma
This study is looking at certain substances in the fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) of people with lung adenocarcinoma. It may help doctors understand this condition better and find new ways to treat it.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06727578Recruiting
Pleural irrigation with a new device
This trial tests a new device to wash out fluid that stays in the chest after a chest tube is placed. It might help people who cannot receive standard medication to break up this fluid within the first day after their chest tube is inserted.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05107674RecruitingPhase 1
Early drug study for advanced cancers that have limited options
This Phase 1 study tests NX-1607 in adults with advanced cancers that are hard to treat with standard care. It focuses on safety and early signs of how well the drug may work in specific cancer types.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04919629RecruitingPhase 2
Tested treatments for recurrent ovarian cancer with fluid buildup
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding two medicines—APL-2 plus pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab plus bevacizumab—works better than bevacizumab alone for recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It also focuses on people who have symptoms from cancer-related fluid (ascites or pleural effusion).
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06959173Recruiting
Personalized treatment for fluid around the lungs
This study uses lab-grown miniature versions of your cancer cells (organoids) to find which treatment might work best for you. It's for people with fluid around the lungs caused by cancer (malignant pleural effusion).
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT01789229Recruiting
Tumor and inflammation sample bank for one specific condition
This study builds a secure “tumor sample bank” using tissue collected from people who currently have one diagnosed condition, either cancer (malignant disease) or an ongoing inflammatory condition. Your samples could help researchers study your disease and develop better treatments in the future.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07090525RecruitingPhase 2
Bevacizumab plus cisplatin vs. cisplatin alone for fluid buildup from cancer
This trial tests whether adding bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood vessel growth) to cisplatin (a standard chemotherapy) is better than cisplatin alone for controlling fluid buildup caused by adenocarcinoma. If you have not had prior treatment for this fluid, you may qualify.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for malignant pleural effusion?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 34 recruiting malignant pleural effusion 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 malignant pleural effusion 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 malignant pleural effusion 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.
