Recruiting studies
- NCT06085690Recruiting
Reducing bloodstream infections from ICU catheters
This study tests a new method to prevent infections from central lines (special IVs placed in large veins) in intensive care units. If you have a central line in place for more than 24 hours, this research may help improve your safety by finding better ways to avoid catheter-related bloodstream infections.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07239219Recruiting
Testing a special rinse to prevent infection after catheter removal
This trial tests whether using a special antiseptic solution (Irrisept) when removing a urinary catheter can lower the chance of getting a urinary tract infection. It is for people visiting a urology clinic for catheter removal who are not already on antibiotics.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06936631Recruiting
Comparing catheter replacement in urinary tract infections
This study tests whether replacing a urinary catheter early during a catheter-related infection leads to better outcomes than keeping it in place. It may help people who have had a catheter for at least two weeks and develop a urinary tract infection.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06814223RecruitingPhase 4
Can antibiotics prevent catheter infections in dialysis patients?
This study tests if giving antibiotics before placing a dialysis catheter can prevent infections. It may help people with heart conditions or those who need a catheter in the leg.
Nahariya, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT03083184RecruitingPhase 3
Ethanol lock solution to prevent catheter infections
This Phase 3 study tests whether a medicine-filled “lock” put into a dialysis catheter can lower the risk of infections. It is meant for people on regular dialysis with a tunnelled catheter who already have it in place.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06714864RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing catheter infections in children on dialysis
This study tests a liquid that is put into the dialysis catheter after each session to prevent infections that can happen through the catheter. It is designed for children up to age 18 who need hemodialysis through a catheter.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 17 years - NCT07183592Recruiting
Changing IV tubing in the ICU: does less often harm?
This trial compares changing the tubing attached to central lines every 4 days versus every 7 days, to see if less frequent changes cause more infections. If you have a central line in the ICU that will stay in for at least a week, this study may help decide the safest schedule.
Saint-Pierre, La RéunionAges 18 years+ - NCT05117398RecruitingPhase 3
Dalbavancin vs standard antibiotics for catheter bloodstream infection
This trial tests whether dalbavancin (an antibiotic given as a dose or doses) works as well as standard antibiotics to treat bloodstream infections related to a removed IV catheter caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It may help reduce treatment time and dosing complexity if you qualify.
GarchesAges 18 years+ - NCT06938750Recruiting
New device study for ICU drug delivery
This trial tests a new medical device that gives medication to patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to see if the device works safely and effectively.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 1 year+ - NCT07388381Recruiting
Blood infection and vein clots from long IV catheters
This study looks at how often people with a blood infection from a PICC or midline catheter also get a blood clot in the vein of their arm. The goal is to learn more about this problem so doctors can better prevent and treat it.
Nice, CHU de NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT07233837Recruiting
Cleaning ICU surfaces with hydrogen peroxide and UV light
This trial tests a new way to clean surfaces in intensive care units (ICUs) using hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet (UV) light. It aims to see if this method reduces infections in patients.
Barbalha, CearáAges 18 years+ - NCT05775614Enrolling by invitation
Catheter care rinse study to prevent infections and improve comfort
This study tests a catheter “rinse” product (UroTainer) or plain saline to help keep a permanent catheter working and reduce infection risk. It also looks at comfort and quality of life for people who have had catheter problems like blockage or buildup.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT05826067Recruiting
Testing E. coli from repeat urinary infections
This study collects and studies bacteria (E. coli) found in urine from people with urinary tract infections, including those with repeat infections. It may help improve how doctors understand these infections and choose better future treatments.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07164781Enrolling by invitation
Probiotics for preventing infections in ICU patients
This trial tests whether probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent serious infections in critically ill patients in the ICU. If you are very sick and in the ICU, you may be able to join — as long as you don't have certain conditions like cancer or a weakened immune system.
Banhā, Qalyubia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT05913180RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C to prevent urine infections after gynecologic surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking vitamin C can lower the chance of getting a urinary tract infection (UTI) after planned gynecologic surgery. It may help people who want to reduce post-surgery infection risk.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT06107361Recruiting
Guidewire use for ultrasound-guided IVs
This trial tests whether using a special guidewire during ultrasound-guided IV placement helps the IV last longer. It may be a good option if you have hard-to-find veins and need an IV.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06365528Recruiting
Tunneled PICC line in adults in the hospital
This study looks at how well a tunneled PICC (a special long-term IV line) works in adults who need it while in the hospital. It aims to see if it reduces complications compared to standard PICCs, which could mean fewer problems for you.
Porto AlegreAges 18 years+ - NCT06332040RecruitingPhase 4
Gentamicin in the bladder to prevent catheter infections
This trial tests whether giving a low dose of the antibiotic gentamicin directly into the bladder through the catheter can prevent infections in people who are critically ill and have a Foley catheter. If you qualify, you might receive this treatment to help reduce the risk of a catheter-related urinary tract infection.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06905119Recruiting
Smartphone app for managing PICC line care
This study tests a smartphone app to help manage care for people with a PICC (a long-term IV line). It aims to improve communication and monitoring during treatment at home.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT06603870RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing blood clots in cancer patients with catheter-related clots
This study tests whether a lower dose of the blood thinner apixaban (Eliquis) can safely prevent another blood clot in people with cancer who have a catheter-related clot in their upper arm or neck. It aims to find a balance between preventing clots and reducing bleeding risk.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06719232Recruiting
Testing a new way to give bladder treatment without a catheter
This study tests a catheter-free method for delivering medication directly into the bladder. It may help patients with bladder pain, recurrent infections, bladder cancer, or cystitis after radiation or chemotherapy.
BudapestAges 18–80 - NCT06822426RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing infections in central lines for people on IV nutrition

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for catheter infection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 28 recruiting catheter infection studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a catheter infection trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a catheter infection trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
