Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female ≥ 18 years of age who provide written informed consent
  • Clinical presentation compatible with complicated parapneumonic pleural effusion (CPE), empyema or other type of pleural infection
  • Has pleural fluid requiring drainage as determined by chest ultrasonography or by chest CT, and which is either:
  • a) purulent; b) gram stain positive; c) culture positive; d) pH < 7.2; or e) glucose < 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L)
  • Failure to adequately drain pleural fluid ≥ 3 hours post insertion of patent chest tube within the pleural space, as evidenced by one or more of the following criteria:
  • > 2 cm depth of fluid by ultrasound or CT
  • < 80% drainage from chest radiograph obtained prior to chest tube insertion.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Current pleural infection already treated with intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy
  • Evidence of ipsilateral fibrothorax (e.g. CT scan with > 0.5 cm visceral pleural thickening)
  • History of multiple thoracenteses or thoracic surgical procedures within 3 months of screening
  • Previous pneumonectomy on the side of the pleural effusion
  • Current bilateral pleural infections
  • Known non-expandable lung prior to this pleural infection
  • Known or high clinical suspicion of a malignant pleural effusion
  • Existing indwelling or tunneled pleural catheter
  • Current infected hepatic hydrothorax or evidence of another abdominal process (e.g. pancreatic cyst or renal cyst) communicating with the pleural space
  • Active bleeding, or any condition in which bleeding is either a significant risk or would be difficult to manage
  • Fully anticoagulated patients on heparin, warfarin or novel oral anti-coagulants who are not able to temporarily discontinue anti-coagulants while receiving study medication and for 2 days after last dose of study medication Note: patients receiving low-molecular weight heparin for immobilization or anti-platelet agents are not excluded.
  • Presence of severe metabolic derangements that would interfere with study assessments
  • Systolic blood pressure >185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 110 mmHg at screening
  • Hemodynamically unstable and/or requires use of intravenous vasopressor therapy
  • Expected survival < 3 months from a pathology other than the qualifying infected, non-draining pleural effusion (e.g. metastatic lung carcinoma)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of referral to surgery
Time Frame: Post treatment (Day 4/Hospital discharge or at time of treatment failure)
Treatment failure, as evidenced by continued or worsening pleural sepsis and failure to adequately drain pleural effusion, resulting in referral to surgery
Post treatment (Day 4/Hospital discharge or at time of treatment failure)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relative change in pleural opacity
Time Frame: Post treatment (Day 4 or at time of treatment failure)
Change from baseline in absolute pleural opacity and relative change from baseline in pleural opacity volume assessed by chest CT at Day 4
Post treatment (Day 4 or at time of treatment failure)

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
September 26, 2020

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
