NCT02702700

Brief Summary

This clinical study aims to explore intrapleural low-dose Visudyne®-mediated photodynamic therapy (photo-induction) as a pathway to promote the uptake of systemically administered Lipoplatin™ in pleural malignancies of patients undergoing video-assisted talcage for their malignant pleural effusions. Photo-induction is expected to overcome the chemo-resistance of pleural malignancies for cisplatin-based chemotherapeutics and thereby improve local tumor control.

Study Arms (1)

Lipoplatin/Visudyne-mediated photodynamic therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

200 mg/m2 Lipoplatin™ will be delivered as iv perfusion. Then, intrapleural photo-induction will be realized through a classical video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) approach using 3 mg/m2 Visudyne® activated at 689 nm. At the end of the procedure, the patients will receive chemical pleurodesis by VATS as per standard-of-care treatment for malignant pleural effusion.

Drug: Cisplatin, liposomalDrug: VerteporfinDevice: Device for Intrapleural Visudyne-mediated Low-Dose Photodynamic Therapy with integrated in situ light dosimetry

Interventions

Lipoplatin IV 200 mg/m2

Also known as: Lipoplatin™
Lipoplatin/Visudyne-mediated photodynamic therapy

Visudyne® IV 3 mg/m2

Also known as: Visudyne®
Lipoplatin/Visudyne-mediated photodynamic therapy

Intrapleural photo-induction will be realized in the chest cavity with low-dose PDT using Visudyne® 3mg/m2 as photosensitizer, activated by 689 nm laser light with a fluence of 10J/cm2 and a fluence rate of \<10mWcm2.
