Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to see if a compression device on the arm where a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line has been inserted can prevent the formation of a blood clot around the PICC line. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Sequential Pneumatic Compression to Prevent PICC-related Upper Extremity Venous Thrombosis in Critically Ill Neurological Patients

The purpose of this study is to see if a compression device on the arm where a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line has been inserted can prevent the formation of a blood clot around the PICC line.

Read the detailed description

In a pilot prospective randomized controlled trial, consecutive patients requiring placement of a PICC line in the Neuroscience intensive care unit were randomly assigned to either the SCD (intervention) group or a non SCD (control) group.

Standardized vascular access patency protocols was used in all enrolled patients. All patients had an indwelling 5 French, double lumen PICC unless additional venous access was required by the primary service. Patients randomized to the intervention arm had an SCD placed in the arm with the PICC within 24 hours of PICC placement.

Five to seven days after placement of the PICC, the patients were examined with venous duplex ultrasound of the upper extremity to assess for the presence of venous thrombosis. The patients also had the ultrasound again 12-14 days post insertion if the PICC was kept for more than 10 days. If the PICC line was removed before 5-7 days, an upper extremity ultrasound was obtained upon PICC removal. In case of suspected symptomatic venous thromboembolism, the investigations were performed according to current practice standards. Data collection was be considered complete upon removal of the PICC line.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients Who Experienced an Ultrasonographically-confirmed Venous Thrombosis

    Ultrasonographically-confirmed upper extremity venous thrombosis (symptomatic and asymptomatic) in arm with PICC catheter

    Measured: baseline to 14 days post insertion of PICC line

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted22 Aug 2012 (estimated)
  2. Study startAug 2012
  3. Primary completion13 Oct 2016
  4. Study completion13 Oct 2016

Why it stopped: Interim analysis: patients treated with SCD had higher incidence of DVT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pneumatic SCD - VenaFlow System (DJO Global) in people with Deep Vein Thrombosis, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 9 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 9 Jan 2018). 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?

Number of Patients Who Experienced an Ultrasonographically-confirmed Venous Thrombosis (time frame: baseline to 14 days post insertion of PICC line). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01670188, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Jan 2018.
