NCT ID NCT07095361
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving enzyme medications once a day through a chest tube works as well as the standard twice-a-day schedule for treating serious lung infections (pleural infections). About 270 adults hospitalized with infected fluid around the lung will be randomly assigned to receive either once-daily or twice-daily treatment. The goal is to see if the simpler schedule can reduce the need for surgery and improve recovery without increasing risks.
