Pleural fluid registry for drainage in adults
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This registry collects information from adults who have fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) and need clinically indicated drainage because of infection or cancer. It helps researchers better understand these conditions and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Be an inpatient or outpatient (either hospital stay or clinic visits)
- Have pleural fluid around the lungs that needs drainage as part of your usual care
- Have signs suggesting infection with fluid buildup, OR have fluid related to cancer (malignancy)
- Be considered safe enough to undergo pleural fluid drainage by your clinician

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares three ways to drain fluid that has built up around the lungs due to cancer. The goal is to find which method works best for relieving symptoms like shortness of breath.
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).
This trial studies specific markers (biomarkers) found in fluid from a chest drain to better understand pleural effusions (fluid around the lungs), especially when fluid keeps coming back after treatment. You may be helped by contributing to research that could improve how these effusions are diagnosed and managed.
This study collects information from patients with fluid buildup around the lungs (called pleural effusion) to better understand causes and outcomes. It may help improve care for future patients.
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.
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.
