Skin Reactions from Thoracic Implant Dressing Study
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies skin reactions caused by dressings used on chest implantable ports (small devices under the skin to deliver chemo). It is for adults starting their first chemo, who have a chest port.

This trial is testing whether a special medical adhesive and protective barrier can reduce skin damage (MARSI) from the dressing used to hold a central line in place. It is for adults in intensive care or the operating room who are getting a central line in their neck.
This trial tests whether a corticosteroid cream can prevent or reduce hand-foot skin reactions caused by liposomal doxorubicin (a type of chemotherapy) in breast cancer patients. If you are starting this chemo and are concerned about skin side effects, this study may offer a way to manage them.
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 trial looks at whether a different dressing placed on the chest incision during certain heart surgeries can lower the risk of surgical wound infections. If you are having a sternotomy (a cut through the breastbone), this could help keep your incision cleaner while you heal.
