Recruiting studies
- NCT06731647RecruitingPhase 2
Anti-inflammatory drugs for pleurodesis in pneumothorax
This trial tests whether using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during pleurodesis (a procedure to seal the lung lining) helps people with a collapsed lung (pneumothorax). It aims to see if these drugs can improve outcomes.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06936969Recruiting
Sugar vs. blood patch for air leak after lung surgery
This study compares two treatments for a stubborn air leak that continues more than 5 days after lung surgery. One treatment uses a concentrated sugar solution, the other uses your own blood to patch the leak. The goal is to see which works better to stop the leak and help you heal.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07147270Recruiting
Patient Position Effect on Pleurodesis for Pleural Effusion
This trial looks at how your body position during a procedure called pleurodesis (which helps prevent fluid from building up around your lungs) affects the outcome. It may help if you have fluid in the chest caused by cancer and are scheduled for this treatment.

Outpatient talc procedure for cancer-related fluid buildup
This trial tests whether a talc procedure to seal the lung (pleurodesis) can be done safely in an outpatient setting for people with fluid buildup from cancer. It aims to make the treatment more convenient.
Stockton-on-Tees, County DurhamAges 18 years+ - NCT06467318RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Do painkillers affect lung sealing surgery?
This trial is testing whether common painkillers (NSAIDs like ibuprofen) affect how well a surgery to seal a collapsed lung works. If you have a collapsed lung and are planning surgery to fix it, this study may help find the best way to manage your pain afterward.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pleurodesis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5 recruiting pleurodesis 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 pleurodesis 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 pleurodesis 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.
