Brief Summary:
Patients with advanced cancers who have pleural effusion, especially those requiring pleural evacuation, experienced poorer survival when treated with immunotherapy. The pleura also acts as a natural barrier that can limit the penetration of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this multicenter phase 2 study, the preliminary efficacy and toxicity of intrapleural instillation of the nivolumab in patients with immune-sensitive metastatic cancers will be accessed.
Detailed Description:
Patients ≥18 years old who have large volume of pleural effusion, required evacuation, and received systemic therapy with a checkpoint inhibitor (monotherapy or combination with another checkpoint inhibitor) for metastatic cancers (renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be eligible. Drainage followed by nivolumab (40 mg, single intrapleural instillation) will be performed.
