About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Evaluation Committee-Blinded Study to Assess the Efficacy of Topical Omiganan 1% Gel in Preventing Local Catheter Site Infections/Colonization in Patients Undergoing Central Venous Catheterization

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with topical omiganan is more effective than treatment with topical povidone-iodine in preventing local catheter site infections and catheter colonization in patients who have central venous catheters.

Read the detailed description

Study design:

This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, Evaluation Committee-blinded study in patients undergoing noncuffed central venous catheterization using either a single lumen or multi-lumen catheter, and for whom the catheter is expected to be in place for at least 48 hours and for no longer than 28 days. Patients will be randomized within 4 hours of the insertion of the first study CVC.

The first study catheter for all patients must be a noncuffed (nontunneled) central venous catheter (CVC). Additionally, only catheters inserted using povidone iodine to prepare the insertion site are eligible to become study catheters. CVCs will be inserted either into the axillary, jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein. Following the first study CVC insertion, additional CVCs, as well as arterial catheters and PICC lines will be allowed as study catheters. Only catheters that have not been impregnated with an antimicrobial substance (e.g. bonded catheters, antimicrobial impregnated, silver tipped, etc) may be used as study catheters. Study catheters must have a skin/catheter interface; for example, introducers will be allowed as study catheters but any catheter, including a CVC, inserted through the introducer will be deemed a non-study catheter. Once a patient has been randomized to either treatment, all study catheters will receive the same treatment.

NIH (NCID) and/or local hospital guidelines will be followed for maximal sterile barrier precautions. The catheter site will be disinfected using 10% povidone iodine for a minimum of 2 minutes per established CDC guidelines prior to catheter insertion. Patients randomized to the omiganan 1% gel group will receive an application of omiganan 1% gel around the catheter insertion site following catheter insertion. Patients randomized to the povidone iodine group will receive no further antisepsis treatment other than cleansing the site with povidone iodine at dressing changes. For patients in both groups, the catheterization site will be covered with a semitransparent dressing provided by the sponsor.

Every 3 days the dressing will be changed. Skin irritation, erythema and edema will be assessed as well as the presence of purulence, moisture, ecchymosis, abnormally warm tissue temperature and/or site pain/tenderness.

Patients will be discharged from the study following the removal of the final study catheter or on study day 28, whichever is sooner. Patients or their legal representatives will be contacted at least 28 days after study discharge/withdrawal for safety follow-up purposes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Omiganan 1% gelDrug

    Patients randomized to omiganan group will receive an application of omiganan gel around the catheter insertion site following catheter insertion. Every 3 days the dressing will be changed and patients will receive a new application of Omiganan 1% gel.

  • Povidone-Iodine 10%Drug

    All CVC sites will be disinfected using a 10% povidone-iodine scrub for a minimum of 2 minutes prior to catheter insertion. Patients randomized to the povidone-iodine group will receive no further antiseptic treatment after catheter insertion until dressing changes. Every three days the dressing will be changed and the catheter site will be sterilized with povidone-iodine.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Local Catheter Site Infection (LCSI)

    LCSI was defined as a study catheter showing any 2 of the following criteria: erythema >= 2; edema >= 2; presence of purulence, pain, or abnormal study catheter site warmth. In addition, an action must have been taken that indicated a LCSI was present.

    Measured: study completion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Microbiologically-confirmed LCSI

    MCLCSI is a subset of EC-adjudicated LCSI for any catheter where there is (1) growth of a recognized pathogen from a culture or any purulence or exudate from the same insertion site, or (2) a positive culture of the subcutaneous segment of the catheter meeting criteria for significant colonization.

    Measured: study completion

  2. Catheter Colonization (CC)

    CC was defined as a positive culture of any catheter segment >= 15 CFU (roll-plate method) or >999 CFU/ml (sonication method) or a positive blood culture drawn via the catheter where the time-to-positivity difference of catheter line vs. peripheral blood >120 minutes (catheter positive first).

    Measured: study completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Omiganan 1% gel and Povidone-Iodine 10% in people with Infection, run by Cadence Pharmaceuticals at 57 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 57 sites in United States, France, Spain, Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Aug 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Local Catheter Site Infection (LCSI) (time frame: study completion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Aug 2009.
