Trial summary

Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is the reference treatment for anatomic or fonctionnal chronic intestinal failure. Nutritionnal catheter must follow two rules: low infection rate and be able to preserve the permeability of the central vein. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Monocenter Prospective Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter to Tunnelled Central Catheter With Cuff in Home Parenteral Nutrition for Long-term Used: the PICCnut Study.

Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is the reference treatment for anatomic or fonctionnal chronic intestinal failure. Nutritionnal catheter must follow two rules: low infection rate and be able to preserve the permeability of the central vein. Today, in europeen guidelines, two types of central devices are recommended: tunnelled central catheter with cuff and implanted ports. However, their insertion is not without risk. Since many years, we have seen a new generation of catheter - peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line)- which have many advantage over other central catheter. ESPEN guidelines accept the use of PICC line in short and moderate-term for HPN, but no prospective study have look for long-term used in HPN.

The objective of our study is to evaluate in a prospective randomised monocenter study the no-inferiority of PICC line to tunnelled central catheter with cuff for serious catheter related-complications such as infection and thrombophlebitis for patient on HPN over 1 month of duration. The secondary objectives are to: evaluate the number of patients with at least one serious complications related in 1000 days of used, the rate of minors and majors complications, number of catheter inserted, the satisfaction of patients and doctors.

The study is held in CHU Nice and will be proposed to hospitalized patients who will need HPN. After consent, patients will be randomized to receive PICC Line (group A) of nutritional central catheter with cuff (group B). Echography of vessels will be held at the beginning, 3 months and 12 months. Follow-up will be conduct at regular interval (month 0-1-3-6-9-12). The duration of follow-up will be of 12 months and the global duration of the study will be 36 months. One major complication will conduct to withdrawal of the study. There will be 55 patients in each group.

What participants receive

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

  • group PiccnutDevice

    Vessels echography will be systematically repeated at 3 months and 12 months for thrombosis research. Follow-up visit will be held at 1,3,6,9 and 12 months. At every step, major and minor complications will be noted by the investigators.

  • Tunnelled nutritional central catheterDevice

    After consent, patients will be randomised to PICC Line (group A) or tunnelled nutritional central catheter with cuff (group B). Duration of inclusion will be 24 months. After randomisation, patients will have catheter inserted by a competent radiologist following an echography. Radiologist will have to answer a questionnaire and doctors will note any catheter-related complications. After that, vessels echography will be systematically repeated at 3 months and 12 months for thrombosis research. Follow-up visit will be held at 1,3,6,9 and 12 months. At every step, major and minor complications will be noted by the investigators.

What is being measured

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

  1. major complications

    Statically significative difference between rate of incidence of major complications (infection and/or thrombosis related to catheter) during the 12 months follow-up.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Delay

    Delay in days between insertion and first major complications

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Questionnaire

    Questionnaire to evaluate catheter insertion by radiologist (satisfaction and complications).

    Satisfaction questionnaire to patients at every visit

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing group Piccnut and Tunnelled nutritional central catheter in people with Chronic Intestinal Failure, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 5 Feb 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 France. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: difficulty of selection of inclusion). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

major complications (time frame: 12 months). 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 5 Feb 2018.
