Long vs. standard IV catheters for hospital infusions
This trial compares two types of intravenous (IV) catheters—one longer and one standard—to see which works better for patients who need IV fluids or medicine for more than four days during a hospital stay.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06720064Recruiting
Chlorhexidine dressing care for port and central catheters in children
This trial tests whether a special care bundle with a germ-killing dressing can reduce infections in children with port or central line catheters. It may help keep your child safer during treatment.
IzmirAges 1–17 - 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+ - NCT07014722Recruiting
Blood clotting study in new central line catheters
This study looks at how blood clotting is activated in new central venous catheters (large IVs placed in a chest vein). It may help doctors understand and reduce clotting risks. You can join if you need a new catheter and are not on strong blood thinners.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07291869Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided central line placement study
This trial tests a new way to place a central line (a tube in a large vein) using ultrasound and a special ECG technique to improve accuracy. It may help people in intensive care who need this procedure.
York, North YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06920173RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose vasopressors for shock in the ICU
This study tests whether giving low-dose blood pressure medicines through a standard IV (instead of a larger central line) is safe and effective for patients with shock in the intensive care unit.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06749457RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for healthy adults and kidney patients on dialysis
This trial tests a new drug called AZD7760 in two groups: healthy adults (Phase I) and adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis through a central venous catheter (Phase IIa). The goal is to see how safe the drug is and how the body processes it. This could lead to a new treatment option for people on dialysis.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18–55 - NCT05743738Recruiting
Ultrasound study of catheter blood infections and vein clots
This study looks at how a blood stream infection related to a catheter can cause vein problems, and uses ultrasound to assess it. It may help doctors better understand what to look for and how these complications develop in hospital patients.
