About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Safety and Effectiveness of the Rapid Intravascular Start (RIVS) System Versus Conventional Catheter for Peripheral Intravenous (PIV) Insertion in Children, Oncology Patients and Elderly: a Controlled Randomized Trial

The study will test a hypothesis that the RIVS system will have a higher rate of successful first PIV placement compared to conventional catheter without a significant increase in complications and time of procedure.

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis to be statistically tested was that the RIVS system will have a higher rate of successful first attempt peripheral intravenous placement success as compared to conventional peripheral intravenous catheters without a significant increase in device related complications and procedure time.

Being tested
RIVS vascular access, Conventional vascular access

What is being measured

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

  1. IV Insertion Success Rate at First Attempt IV Insertion Success Rate at First Attempt

    A successful IV insertion includes all of the following: initial vein penetration, which is visualized by a flash back of blood into the access device, deployment of the guidewire, advancement of the catheter into the vein, retraction of needle and guidewire, and flushing of IV. A secured flushed IV will be indicative of a successful PIV placement.

    Measured: An access attempt usually ranges from 0 to 45 minutes in duration.

  2. Summary of Major Complications

    Any device-related or procedure-related adverse event that causes clinically consequential symptoms to the patient. These may include access site hematoma, bleeding, infection, nerve injury, vessel laceration, wound dehiscence, allergic reaction, or inflammation, among others.

    Measured: Post-PIV placement until catheter removal (usually within 4 days)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time Required to Obtain Access

    A secured flushed IV will be indicative of a successful PIV placement.

    Measured: An access attempt usually ranges from 0 to 45 minutes in duration.

  2. Second Stick Success Rate

    A secured flushed IV will be indicative of a successful PIV placement.

    Measured: An access attempt usually ranges from 0 to 45 minutes in duration.

  3. Summary of Minor Complications

    Any device-related or procedure-related adverse event that causes clinically inconsequential symptoms to the patient.

    Measured: Post-PIV placement until catheter removal (usually within 4 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RIVS vascular access and Conventional vascular access in people with Vascular Access Complication, run by C. R. Bard at 3 sites in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Apr 2017). 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?

IV Insertion Success Rate at First Attempt IV Insertion Success Rate at First Attempt (time frame: An access attempt usually ranges from 0 to 45 minutes in duration.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Apr 2017.
