Read the detailed description

All oncology patients with a tunneled central line will be approached to participate in this study. Following informed consent they will be issued with a TOOKIE vest.

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.

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?

Central line fall out rate (time frame: approximately 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
