TACTIC pleural trial

TACTIC is a multicenter trial based across 10 UK sites that will recruit 124 patients with malignant pleural effusion to define the optimal treatment pathway

[ERS publications @ERSpublications]

ERJ: The TARGET trial was a multicentre randomised trial comparing PET-CT targeted pleural biopsy to standard CT-guided pleural biopsy for suspected pleural malignancy. The results do not support the practice of PET-CT to guide pleural biopsies. https://t.co/0Bum7yhaJC

Today we have completed recruitment to the TACTIC trial, with the 124th participant randomised by the Bristol team @BristolARU @ResearchNBT Congratulations to ALL the research teams, PIs, patients and carers who have helped us to reach this milestone.

🌟Happy New Year to all our collaborating sites and to the patients and carers who have participated in the TACTIC trial, without whom none of our work would happen! 🌟

FOUR more patients to go! A fantastic effort from @ThapasNagarajan and team at Macclesfield @ResearchEastCh1 with two participants randomised last week brings us to a new total of 1️⃣2️⃣0️⃣
🔎Who will find the next one?🔎

Thank you @Nickmaskell1 for a great summary on the current management of malignant pleural disease. We hope that TACTIC will help to answer whether there is a role for a rapid pleurodesis pathway in the management of MPE to reduce time in hospital and SOB. #WinterBTS2023

[Bristol Academic Respiratory Unit @BristolARU]

Kicking off day 2 it’s @Nickmaskell1 summarising the recent @BTSrespiratory pleural guidelines, which he co-led with @naj_rahman and @markxroberts. Session expertly chaired by @defonseka and @rachel_mercer1

We are so close to achieving our target of 124 patients randomised, with 8 participants left to recruit! Which of our centres will find the next TACTIC participant?! 🤔
