Learning better port-a-catheter care for chemo
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial teaches nurses how to better care for a port-a-catheter (a small device placed under the skin to give chemotherapy). It looks at whether special training helps nurses improve their skills. If you are a nurse with at least one year of experience in an oncology unit, this might be for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a nurse with at least 1 year working in cancer care or chemotherapy units.
- Currently work in an oncology center or unit that uses port-a-catheters.
- Have at least 6 months of experience (not less than that).

This trial is testing a new computer program designed to teach intensive care unit (ICU) nurses about chemotherapy and improve their confidence in giving chemo to patients. It's not a treatment trial for patients, but a study to help nurses learn better.
This trial tests a training program for nurses who care for children with cancer and use central venous catheters. It aims to improve how nurses handle these devices, which may help prevent infections and other complications.
This trial tests a training course using a 3D-printed model of a port-a-catheter (a small device placed under the skin for giving medicine). It aims to help you learn how to care for your port-a-catheter.
This study tests a new online training module designed to help nurses who give chemotherapy and other cancer drugs improve their knowledge and skills. If you're a nurse administering these treatments, this could help you feel more confident and competent in your role.
This trial compares two types of implanted ports (PICC-ports versus chest-ports) to see which is better for delivering chemotherapy over several months. It aims to help people with solid tumors who need long-term, intermittent chemo.
This study focuses on the best way to maintain a fully implanted vein catheter (a port used for chemotherapy). It may help reduce complications and improve how safely your catheter is maintained after chemotherapy ends.
