Malignant Pleural Effusion Competitive Landscape
Some of the malignant pleural effusion drugs under development include PTS500 (Gongwing Biopharm), M701 (Wuhan YZY Biopharma), RSO-021 (RS Oncology), and others.
YZY Biopharma’s M701 is a first-in-class biologic for the treatment of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and malignant ascites associated with cancer. The drug is a bispecific antibody that simultaneously targets EpCAM on tumor cells and CD3 on T cells, facilitating the interaction between immune cells and cancer cells. This dual-targeting mechanism promotes T-cell activation and enhances tumor cell destruction within the pleural or peritoneal cavity. By administering M701 through intrapleural or intraperitoneal infusion, localized immune-mediated antitumor activity can be achieved. The candidate is currently being evaluated in a Phase II clinical trial for MPE secondary to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
RS Oncology’s RSO-021 is an innovative formulation of thiostrepton being advanced for clinical development. It functions as a covalent inhibitor of PRX3, irreversibly binding to active-site cysteine residues and suppressing PRX3 peroxidase activity. This mechanism elevates oxidative stress within cancer cells beyond survivable levels, resulting in tumor cell death. RSO-021 is undergoing investigation in a Phase I/II clinical trial (NCT05278975) involving patients with MPE arising from solid tumors as well as mesothelioma. According to the clinical trial record, the study status is currently reported as unknown. The therapy is administered weekly through an indwelling intrapleural catheter and treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient withdrawal, or study discontinuation.
Gongwin Biopharm’s PTS-500 is an experimental therapy specifically designed for the management of MPE. The drug contains para-toluene-sulfonamide (PTS) as its active ingredient and is intended to selectively target and eliminate cancer cells while minimizing damage to normal tissues. Potential benefits include delayed recurrence of pleural effusions and improved patient comfort. PTS-500 is currently being assessed in Phase II clinical studies in Taiwan, and the company plans to expand development through multicenter Phase II/III trials across several countries, including the United States.
The anticipated launch of these emerging malignant pleural effusion therapies are poised to transform the malignant pleural effusion market landscape in the coming years. As these cutting-edge malignant pleural effusion therapies continue to mature and gain regulatory approval, they are expected to reshape the malignant pleural effusion market landscape, offering new standards of care and unlocking opportunities for medical innovation and economic growth.

What is Malignant Pleural Effusion?
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space, the cavity between the lungs and the chest wall, caused by the presence of cancer cells or cancer-related processes. It is a common complication of advanced malignancies, particularly lung cancer, breast cancer, lymphoma, and mesothelioma, and is often associated with disease progression and a poor prognosis. Patients with malignant pleural effusion typically present with symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and reduced exercise tolerance, which can significantly impair quality of life. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through imaging studies and cytological examination of pleural fluid. Management focuses on symptom relief and may include thoracentesis, indwelling pleural catheters, pleurodesis, and treatment of the underlying malignancy.
Malignant Pleural Effusion Epidemiology Segmentation
The malignant pleural effusion epidemiology section provides insights into the historical and current malignant pleural effusion patient pool and forecasted trends for the leading markets. In 2025, there were approximately 50,000 incident cases of MPE due to breast cancer and more than 25,000 cases due to lymphoma across EU4 and the UK.
