Clot-Busting drug tested to relieve cancer Patients' severe breathlessness
NCT ID NCT06184321
Summary
This early study is testing whether alteplase, a drug that dissolves blood clots, can help cancer patients breathe easier. It focuses on patients who have a build-up of fluid around their lungs that won't drain properly through a permanent catheter, causing severe shortness of breath. Researchers will compare alteplase to a placebo to see if it improves drainage and reduces breathlessness.
