About this study

Official title: Simple, Prospective and Randomized Trial to Obtain Answers to Questions of Standard of Care: Vascular Access Strategies for (Neo) Adjuvant Breast Cancer Treatment Without Trastuzumab: A Study From the REthinking Clinical Trials Program (REaCT-vascular Access Her2 Negative).

In the REaCT-Vascular Access Her2 negative study, 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.

Determining the optimal vascular access strategy remains an important medical issue for patients, nurses, physicians and society. A novel method to allow comparison of established standards of care is needed as part of an increasing internationally mandated incentive to perform more pragmatic clinic trials.

What participants receive

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

  • venous access PORT or PICCDevice

    Participants will receive a venous access prior to starting chemotherapy

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Venous access PORT or PICCActive comparatorParticipants will receive a central line placement either a PORT or a PICC prior to the initiation of chemotherapy.

No interventionNo interventionParticipants will only receive a central line if required once chemotherapy has been initiated.

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 for Her 2 negative breast cancer compared to the number of participants who agree to randomization. The total number of new patients receiving (neo) adjuvant IV systemic cytotoxic therapy will be provided by the local chemotherapy pharmacy and Oncology Patient Information System records.

    Measured: One year

  2. Patient compliance

    Percentage of participants who are randomized who accept randomization, and percentage of patients who cross-over to receive a central line while on study will be calculated using the chemotherapy treatment documentation in the designated hospital electronic patient record program

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  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 thrombotic events

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

    Measured: One year

  3. Number of attempts at cannulation

    1. For those patients randomised to peripheral access information on the number of attempts at cannulation will be collected and site of cannulation. (ipsilateral to surgery vs contralateral to surgery)

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing venous access PORT or PICC 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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2019. 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 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 NCT02688998, 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.
