First-in-Human Expanded Cohort Study of Intrapleural Administration of TolueneSulfonamide in Patients With Malignant Pleural Effusion
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Intrapleural administration of TolueneSulfonamide: PTS Administration (One Treatment Cycle): One treatment cycle is defined as one week. PTS is administered three times per week on Days 1, 3, and 5. Prior to each administration, pleural effusion is drained as completely as possible until no further fluid can be obtained. The study drug is then administered via the indwelling drainage catheter, followed by an additional flush of 20 mL of normal saline. The drainage catheter is clamped for at least 24 hours after administration. After each injection, patients are instructed to maintain prone, lateral, and supine positions for approximately 30 minutes each to facilitate even distribution of the drug within the pleural cavity. During the same treatment cycle, the drainage catheter remains clamped until the next scheduled administration. After completion of treatment, catheter drainage and standard care are continued.

Study summary
This study aims to evaluate the safety of intrapleural injection of TolueneSulfonamide in patients with malignant pleural effusion and to explore its potential effectiveness.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Objective Response Rate — 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after treatment completion
Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) among all enrolled patients, calculated as (CR + PR) / total number of patients × 100%, based on WHO criteria and assessed by imaging methods (ultrasound or computed tomography).
