Blood infection and vein clots from long IV catheters
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks how often blood clots form in veins when patients have a common IV catheter for a week or more. By participating, you help doctors understand and prevent these clots.
This study looks at the bacteria that can build up on IV lines to see if they increase the risk of infection. By examining these bacteria, researchers hope to find ways to reduce infections in patients who need IV treatment.
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 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 a type of IV line called a PICC that is placed in a vein in the arm and can stay in for a week or more. It may help people in the ICU who need long-term medications, nutrition, or IV antibiotics.
This study is looking at infections from central lines (special IVs in large veins) in ICU patients across China. It aims to understand how common these infections are and what factors contribute to them.
