Brief Summary

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

The LTI-01-2001 study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study to evaluate LTI-01 (single-chain urokinase plasminogen activator, scuPA) in patients with infected, non-draining pleural effusions.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Male or female ≥ 18 years of age who provide written informed consent
* Clinical presentation compatible with complicated parapneumonic pleural effusion (CPE), empyema or other type of pleural infection
* Has pleural fluid requiring drainage as determined by chest ultrasonography or by chest CT, and which is either:
* a) purulent; b) gram stain positive; c) culture positive; d) pH \< 7.2; or e) glucose \< 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L)
* Failure to adequately drain pleural fluid ≥ 3 hours post insertion of patent chest tube within the pleural space, as evidenced by one or more of the following criteria:
* \> 2 cm depth of fluid by ultrasound or CT
* \< 80% drainage from chest radiograph obtained prior to chest tube insertion.

Exclusion Criteria

* Current pleural infection already treated with intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy
* Evidence of ipsilateral fibrothorax (e.g. CT scan with \> 0.5 cm visceral pleural thickening)
* History of multiple thoracenteses or thoracic surgical procedures within 3 months of screening
* Previous pneumonectomy on the side of the pleural effusion
* Current bilateral pleural infections
* Known non-expandable lung prior to this pleural infection
* Known or high clinical suspicion of a malignant pleural effusion
* Existing indwelling or tunneled pleural catheter
* Current infected hepatic hydrothorax or evidence of another abdominal process (e.g. pancreatic cyst or renal cyst) communicating with the pleural space
* Active bleeding, or any condition in which bleeding is either a significant risk or would be difficult to manage
* Fully anticoagulated patients on heparin, warfarin or novel oral anti-coagulants who are not able to temporarily discontinue anti-coagulants while receiving study medication and for 2 days after last dose of study medication Note: patients receiving low-molecular weight heparin for immobilization or anti-platelet agents are not excluded.
* Presence of severe metabolic derangements that would interfere with study assessments
* Systolic blood pressure \>185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \> 110 mmHg at screening
* Hemodynamically unstable and/or requires use of intravenous vasopressor therapy
* Expected survival \< 3 months from a pathology other than the qualifying infected, non-draining pleural effusion (e.g. metastatic lung carcinoma)
