Magnetic tracking and ECG guidance for PICC placement
This trial tests a system that uses magnetic tracking and ECG signals to help guide the placement of a PICC line (a thin tube for delivering medication) in cancer patients. It aims to make the insertion safer and more accurate, especially for those at high risk for blood clots.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer and need a PICC line placed
- You are at high risk for a blood clot from the PICC (Caprini score of 5 or higher)
- You agree to have the PICC maintained at the research hospital
- You sign the consent form to participate

This study compares different ways of inserting a PICC line (a long, thin tube that delivers medicine or nutrition directly into a large vein) to see which method is better and safer. The goal is to help patients like you have a smoother experience and fewer complications.
This study compares two different techniques for placing a special long IV catheter (PICC) in your arm. The catheter stays in place for weeks or months to deliver medications or fluids. Researchers want to see which placement method works better and causes fewer problems.
This study tests two experimental drugs, REGN7508 and REGN9933, to see if they can safely prevent blood clots in the arm or chest in people who need a PICC line. If you are getting a PICC for treatments like chemotherapy or antibiotics, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new way to place a central line (a special IV) using ultrasound and a heart-rhythm signal to guide it. The goal is to make the procedure safer by checking the vein's health beforehand.
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.
This study looks at ways to lower complications from a type of IV line called a PICC, which is used for long-term treatments. You may qualify if you are independent in your daily activities and can manage your own care.
