Pleural Diseases clinical trials
Below are recruiting pleural diseases clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 8 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT06226909Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided biopsy for lung lining disease
This study tests whether a special ultrasound technique (shear-wave elastography) can help guide biopsies to get better samples from the lining around your lungs. It may be an option if you have a build-up of fluid or thickening in that area.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06741839Recruiting
CLE-guided thoracoscopy for diagnosing pleural disease
This trial uses a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) during a procedure called medical thoracoscopy to help doctors see and diagnose unclear pleural fluid or problems in the lining around the lungs. It may help find a specific diagnosis when other tests have not.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07625176Enrolling by invitation
App-guided decisions for lung lining disease
This trial tests whether a decision-support app helps doctors better manage conditions affecting the pleura (the lining around your lungs)—like collapsed lung, fluid buildup, or infection. You'd be randomly assigned to use the app approach or standard care, and the study tracks how well each works.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT07192900RecruitingPhase 1
Fast TILs for metastatic cancer with pleural disease
This trial tests a new therapy using your own immune cells (called TILs) to treat cancer that has spread to the lining of the lungs. The goal is to see if these cells can shrink tumors and help you feel better.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–79 - NCT06790082RecruitingPhase 2
FAPI PET scan to diagnose pleural mesothelioma
This trial tests if a newer type of PET scan (FAPI PET) can better diagnose pleural mesothelioma than a standard FDG PET scan. If you have a suspicious spot in your lung lining and need a biopsy, this study may help improve how we find and track this cancer.
Aalborg, Region North JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06964308Recruiting
Lung lining biopsy study for adults with suspected pleural disease
This study uses a small camera to take a sample of your lung lining (pleura) to help diagnose the cause of your symptoms. It is for adults who need this biopsy to find out what is wrong.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT06180603Recruiting
Draining lung fluid safely in the ER
This trial tests a better way to drain fluid from around the lung while you are in the emergency department. It can help you breathe easier and find out what is causing the fluid buildup.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06983366Recruiting
Lung sliding index for diagnosing lung conditions
This study uses an ultrasound-based measurement called the Lung Sliding Index to help tell different lung diseases apart. Researchers want to see if it can be a useful and simple tool for doctors.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pleural diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 8 recruiting pleural diseases 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 pleural diseases 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 pleural diseases 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.
