Efficacy of Povidone-Iodine Instillation Via Tunneled Pleural Catheters in Achieving Pleurodesis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

NCT02975921 Phase 4 WITHDRAWN

The purpose of this study is to determine whether betadine (povidone-iodine) instillation during routine indwelling Tunneled Pleural Catheter (TPC) placement is efficacious in promoting pleurodesis and thus reducing the time to TPC removal.
