Malignant Pleural Effusion: Understanding

Malignant Pleural Effusion: Overview

A malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is the buildup of fluid and cancer cells that collects between the chest wall and the lung. This can cause to feel short of breath and/or have chest discomfort. It is a fairly common complication in a number of different cancers. An MPE forms when cells from either a lung cancer or another type of cancer spread to the pleural space. These cancer cells increase the production of pleural fluid and cause decreased absorption of the fluid. People with lung cancer, breast cancer, and lymphoma (a cancer of lymphatic tissue) are most likely to get a MPE. Mesothelioma (a rare cancer of the pleura itself) is another common cause of MPE. Other causes of MPE include cancer that has spread from the stomach, kidney, ovaries, and colon. The symptoms of a MPE can be extremely variable and range from having no symptoms in some people to being very bothersome in others. Common symptoms: Shortness of breath at rest or with activity, chest pain or pressure, cough, pain when taking a deep breath, or the feeling of not being able to take a deep, satisfying breath, fever and Fatigue. Healthcare provider may first suspect that person has MPE on physical examination. To see if the person have MPE and estimate how much fluid is present, patient will have one or more of the imaging tests: Chest X-Ray: A picture showing a view of the chest, including the heart and lungs, CT Scan of the Chest: Multiple pictures of the chest that gives a lot more detail and information than a chest X-ray, Ultrasound of the Chest: One of the best methods of imaging the pleural space. Ultrasound does not involve any radiation and can also be used to help guide procedures to sample or drain pleural fluid. Medical oncologists (specialists who treat cancer) and radiation oncologists may treat the underlying cancer with chemotherapy, immunotherapy and/or radiation to prevent the fluid from accumulating.

Malignant Pleural Effusion Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Malignant Pleural Effusion report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Malignant Pleural Effusion Emerging Drugs

• LEITP-1009: LIPAC Oncology

LIPAC is developing a new Liposomal Enhanced IntraThoracic Paclitaxel (LEITP) for the treatment of MPM utilizing the LiPax technology. Currently, the drug is being developed in the Pre-Clinical stage of clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Malignant Pleural Effusion.

• RSO-021: RS Oncology

RSO-021 is a novel irreversible inhibitor of a key mitochondrial enzyme PRX3 (upregulated in cancer cells) regulating oxidative stress pathways. Treatment with RSO-021 will be administered weekly via an intrapleural catheter after routine pleural effusion drainage. RSO-021 therapy has proven to significantly reduce pre-clinically tumor burden in malignant mesothelioma and other cancer types by inhibiting three key enzymes in the antioxidant signaling network within the mitochondria. Covalent adduction of the active site of a key mitochondrial enzyme by RSO-021 inactivates the peroxidase activity of the enzymes leading to accumulation of hydrogen peroxide to levels incompatible with tumor cell survival, while preserving healthy normal cells. RSO-021 is being developed for the treatment of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) via intrapleural (IP) installation in patients suffering from mesothelioma, breast cancer and other indications causing MPE.

• SCB-313: Clover Biopharmaceuticals

SCB-313, has been designed and developed utilizing the Trimer-Tag™ technology platform. SCB-313 is a covalently-linked, native-like trimeric fusion protein which is structurally and functionally differentiated from the dimeric antibody-based structures and other native ligand-based candidates targeting this pathway. SCB-313 has the potential to address the unmet global need for the treatment of intracavitary malignancies, including Malignant Ascites (MA), Malignant Pleural effusions (MPE), and Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), as well as additional cancer indications.
