The purpose of this multi-center clinical trial is to verify more effective on local control of malignant pleural effusions in NSCLC patients by thoracic cavity perfusion of recombinant human adenovirus type 5 injection and recombinant human Endostatin injection (Endostar) compared with cisplatin perfusion, with acceptable side effects.
Malignant pleural effusion, which can malfunction of circulatory and respiratory systems, is a common complication in advanced NSCLC, finally decreases the quality of life and lifespan. Nowadays, it is still a challenge to effectively control malignant pleural effusion. In this multi-center randomized and controlled clinical trial, 134 NSCLC patients diagnosed as malignant pleural effusion in the first time will enroll. Based on systemic chemotherapy and pleural cavity perfusion, all eligible patients are randomly assigned into treatment group (recombinant human adenovirus type 5 and Endostatin injections) and control group (cisplatin) with ratio 1:1. Local control rate and side effects are record respectively. The anticipation is that treatment group obtains faster and longer control of pleural effusion.
