Trial summary

Midline catheter is a peripherally-inserted catheter, with the distal tip being placed into the axillary vein. For some indications, it's an alternative to the peripheral insert central catheters in case of limited venous access and infusions less than one month. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: "Follow-up of Midlines Placed Outside the Intensive Care Unit: What Happens Next, What Side Effects? A Multicenter Observational Study"

Midline catheter is a peripherally-inserted catheter, with the distal tip being placed into the axillary vein. For some indications, it's an alternative to the peripheral insert central catheters in case of limited venous access and infusions less than one month. The Midline catheter is poorly described in scientific literature; therefore, the aim of the study is to determinate the incidence of adverse events (Infections and thrombosis) and risk factors for patients with this device.

Read the detailed description

The midline is a deep peripheral venous catheter whose insertion is between the lower and upper third of the arm and whose distal end does not extend beyond the axillary vein. It requires the identification of the vein by ultrasound which reserves its installation for professionals trained and authorized to use the ultrasound scanner.

Midline is currently indicated for intravenous treatments > 7 days and in patients with precarious venous capital. According to the manufacturer's instructions, it can be kept in place for up to 30 days, while the recommendations of the Centers disease of control specify that this period could be extended to 49 days.

Its use is expanding rapidly in France, thus meeting the needs of patients who do not require a central line and whose use of a standard peripheral venous catheter is not possible (low venous capital or treatment duration > 7 days). Its installation, essentially carried out by qualified anaesthetists, does not increase medical planning and is therefore an attractive alternative to the installation of a central catheter whose complications (thrombosis and infections) are known.

The only data on the complication rate, estimated at 1-2%, are from low-potency observational studies. In the absence of high-level evidence, most of the good practice recommendations published in 2019 are based on expert consensus.

This leads us to conduct a large-scale observational study to assess the complication rate and identify the associated factors. This study will provide professionals with reliable scientific data for the next review of good practice recommendations.

What participants receive

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

  • Follow up of midlinesOther

    The follow-up data to be collected will be recorded on a monitoring logbook that will follow the patient (Appendix 4). The latter will be involved in the follow-up of his data insofar as he will be able to solicit the various professionals performing care on his midline in order to aim at the exhaustiveness of the filling of the book.

What is being measured

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

  1. assess numbers of adverse events

    catheter related infection yes/no vein thrombosis yes/no occlusion yes/no exposition time to a midline catheter

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thrombosis, run by Nantes University Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 27 Jun 2023. 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 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?

assess numbers of adverse events (time frame: through study completion, an average of 2 year). 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 NCT04131088, 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 27 Jun 2023.
