Intrapleural Docetaxel Administration Using Medical Pleuroscopy in Malignant Effusion With Lung Cancer

Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effect of Intrapleural Docetaxel Administration Using Medical Pleuroscopy in Malignant Effusion With Lung Cancer

In this trial, the effect of intrapleural docetaxel administration using medical pleuroscopywill be evaluated in Lung Cancer patient with malignant effusion.

This study is designed to be pilot, single-center, open-label, single-arm, prospective, phase II trial of patient with NSCLC with pleurla effusion. Approximately 40 patients will be enrolled into the trial, and study will be performed to 31Dec2018 from IRB and Korea: MFDS approval date.

Docetaxel will be administed to interpleural space using medical pleuroscopy in malignant effusion with lung cancer. Response evaluation will be done until confiramtion of disease progression.
