Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrapleural dornase alfa and tPA administered to patients with clinical failure of small-bore chest tube with persistent pleural effusions or malignancy-related loculated effusion to improve pleural drainage.
