Home paracentesis for cancer-related fluid buildup
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether patients with cancer-related belly fluid can safely have their fluid drained at home instead of at a clinic. If it works, it could make treatment more convenient and comfortable.

This trial studies whether an immune-blocking drug placed directly into the belly cavity can help people with cancer-caused fluid buildup (malignant ascites) from stomach, pancreas, or bile-duct cancers. It may help shrink the fluid and slow the illness, but you must meet specific safety and treatment-history requirements.
This trial tests a new drug, SIM0388, for people whose cancer has spread and caused fluid buildup in the belly. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help reduce the fluid.
This trial tests three drugs (bevacizumab, serplulimab, and rmhTNF-NC) given together to treat fluid buildup in the belly caused by digestive system cancers. It’s for people whose ascites has not improved after standard treatments.
This Phase 2 trial compares giving certain standard cancer infusions at home versus in a clinic. It may help people avoid clinic visits while still receiving the same cancer treatment safely.
This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called GK02 for people with advanced cancer who have fluid buildup in the belly (malignant ascites). The drug is given directly into the belly to try to reduce the fluid and control symptoms.
This trial tests if giving IV fluids at home after bladder removal surgery is safe and helpful. It aims to reduce dehydration and hospital visits after you go home.
