Brief Summary

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

This is a prospective diagnostic pilot study to create hypotheses regarding immunocytochemistry (ICC) PD-L1 analysis of pleural effusions in NSCLC patients as compared to the reference standard of PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC). This comparison will be done to assess sensitivity and specificity of PD-L1 detection by ICC in pleural effusions.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

NSCLC with pleural effusion

The population for selection of potential study participants is comprised of clinical routine patients presenting with (suspected malignant) pleural effusion. These patients must have an indication for pleural puncture. The cause and nature of the pleural effusion at this time point will be unknown in many cases. To establish this, further diagnostic procedures are required. Only patients with confirmed diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer will be included in the data analysis.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Presence of malignant pleural effusion with indication for pleural puncture and thoracoscopy
* Confirmed diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer according to ERS guidelines
* Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

* Pregnancy and/or lactation
* Acute and life-threatening illness (instable angina pectoris, acute pulmonary arterial embolism, myocardial infarction, etc.)
* Any contraindication to undergo thoracoscopy (e.g. anticoagulation therapy which cannot be discontinued for the procedure)
* Any medical, psychological or other condition impairing the patient's ability to provide informed consent
