About this study

Official title: Randomized-Controlled Non-Inferiority Study to Compare the Effectiveness of the Seldinger Over-the-Wire Technique and the Modified Seldinger Technique

Peripherally inserted central venous catheter lines (PICC-line) are successfully used since many years in patients who need long-term frequent IV therapy. The PICC placement is performed under fluoroscopy The study objective is to compare the effectiveness and safety of the Seldinger wire technique (over-the-wire) using a 145 cm guidewire with the modified Seldinger technique using a 70 cm guidewire.

Read the detailed description

The referral of patients with indication to PICC-line implantation at the institute of diagnostic and interventional radiology occurs through different departments of the University Hospital Jena. The patients are registered for radiological treatment and checked again by a radiologist if a PICC-line implantation is indicated. If this is the case, the radiologist conducts an informed consent discussion with the patient about possible complications and risks during intervention and informs him also about a possible study participation. After signature of the written informed consent, the patient is included. He can, at any time, withdraw his consent. On the intervention day, the patient is randomly assigned to one of the two study arms through envelope (145 cm vs 70 cm). The intervention time is documented. After intervention, the patient is transferred back to the ward or sent home. The examination of the puncture site before discharge is performed by a ward physician or by the family doctor.

Within 2 weeks after PICC-line implantation, the treating physician is contacted and questioned about possible complications (catheter occlusion, haematoma, infection of the puncture site, arm vein thrombosis, pain, etc.), that are then thoroughly documented.

Being tested
Angiodynamic Bioflo Picc IR-KIT (145 cm guidewire) or, Angiodynamic Bioflo Picc MST-KIT (70 cm guidewire)

What participants receive

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

  • Angiodynamic Bioflo Picc IR-KIT (145 cm guidewire) orDevice

    Before Power-PICC-line catheter implantation, the patients undergo an examination of the planned intervention site and ultrasound check, and analysis of the blood tests. An informed consent discussion and the patient's signature on the informed consent are obligatory. The length of the catheter and the optimal position of the catheter tip are verified by fluoroscopy. After catheter implantation, the tip location is verified by a final chest x-ray. The follow-up visit and the control of the puncture site until removal of the catheter are performed during hospitalization or subsequently by the treating family doctor.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Angiodynamic Bioflo Picc IR-KIT (145 cm guidewire) or and Angiodynamic Bioflo Picc MST-KIT (70 cm guidewire) in people with Effectiveness and Safety of the Seldinger Wire Technique Using a 145 cm Guidewire With the Modified Seldinger Technique Using a 70 cm Guidewire, run by Jena University Hospital at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 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 10 Mar 2020. 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 Germany. 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?

Implantation time (time frame: 24 hours). 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 10 Mar 2020.
