About this study

Official title: A Pragmatic Randomized Trial Standard of Care Vascular Access Strategies for (Neo)Adjuvant Trastuzumab-based Breast Cancer Treatment OTT 15-06 A Study From the REthinking Clinical Trials Program (REaCT-vascular Access Trastuzumab Study).

In the REaCT-Vascular Access Trastuzumab study (REaCT-VA), the investigator will use a novel method to allow comparisons of established standard of care vascular access strategies using the "integrated consent model" as part of a pragmatic clinical trial. The investigator wishes to address a non-pharmacologic issue regarding standard of care vascular access devices. Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC lines) versus subcutaneously implanted devices (PORTs).

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • PICCDevice

    Participants will be randomized to a PICC for vascular access during chemotherapy.

  • PORTDevice

    Participants will be randomized to a PORT for vascular access during chemotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Accrual rates

    Percentage of patients who receive (neo)adjuvant IV systemic therapy with trastuzumab compared to the number of participants who agree to randomization.

    Measured: one year

  2. Patient compliance

    Percentage of participants who are randomized who accept randomization will be calculated.

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Physician engagement

    Percentage of medical oncologists who have agreed to participate in the trial compared to the percentage who approached patients regarding the trial.

    Measured: One year

  2. Rates of events

    Rates of documented thrombotic events, need for anticoagulation, line infections, phlebitis, and extravasations during systemic therapy.

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PICC and PORT in people with Breast Cancer and Cancer, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Accrual rates (time frame: one year). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02632435, 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 6 Sep 2019.
