About this study
A study to evaluate a needle-free connector (a stopper) featuring anti-reflux technology (to prevent blood from flowing back) for catheters (polyurethane tubes inserted into a vein), with the aim of reducing complications associated with these devices: blockages, infections, pain, etc.
Read the detailed description
Introduction: Long peripheral venous catheters (PVCs) are a suitable alternative to short PVCs, midline catheters (MLCs) and central venous catheters (CVCs), particularly in patients with difficult intravenous access (DIVA), due to their characteristics: they are between 6 and 15 centimetres in length, have a gauge of 18 to 22 gauge (G), and do not extend beyond the axillary vein.
Hypothesis: The use of a needle-free connector with neutral fluid displacement and equipped with anti-reflux technology (Clave™ Neutron™) in long PVCs in adult inpatients with acute conditions reduces the number of catheter failures during the first seven days compared with a neutral-displacement needle-free connector without an anti-reflux valve.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of using a needle-free connector with neutral fluid displacement and equipped with anti-reflux technology (Clave™ Neutron™) following the insertion of long PVCs in adult inpatients in the acute phase of their illness during the first seven days.
Methodology: A clinical study involving two randomised groups will be conducted prior to catheter placement. The control group will receive treatment using a needle-free connector with neutral fluid displacement and without an anti-reflux valve (Microclave® Clear, Ref. 011-MC3302). The intervention group will receive treatment using a needle-free connector with neutral fluid displacement and equipped with anti-reflux technology (Clave™ Neutron™, Ref. 011-NC139).
Expected results: It is expected that the incidence of complications associated with long PVCs in hospitalised adult patients will be reduced following the standardised implementation of a needle-free connector with neutral fluid displacement and equipped with anti-reflux technology (Clave™ Neutron™) during the initial phase of treatment. Specifically, a reduction in the incidence of catheter obstructions and CRBSI is anticipated.
Clinical implication: The study will contribute to optimising decision-making regarding catheter maintenance and related therapeutic measures, with the aim of reducing the main complications associated with them.

Measured: 7 days
Secondary outcomes (1)
Number of participants with partial or complete occlusions in long peripheral venous catheters, as assessed using the CINAS scale (UZ Leuven®).
To determine the total number of partial and complete occlusions in long peripheral venous catheters in adult inpatients during the acute phase of illness within the first seven days after insertion of either a needle-free connector featuring neutral fluid displacement and anti-reflux technology (Clave™ Neutron™) or a neutral connector without this technology.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Needle-free connector with neutral fluid displacement and without anti-reflux technology, Needle-free connector with neutral fluid displacement and equipped with anti-reflux technology and Long peripheral venous catheter in people with Vascular Access Devices and Catheters, run by Hospital Arnau de Vilanova at 1 site in Spain.
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 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2026. 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 Spain. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Number of participants who experienced device-related adverse events, classified according to CTCAE v5.0. (time frame: 7 days). 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 NCT07519304, which also lists 28 linked publications.
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 21 Sep 2026.
