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.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are staying in the hospital for at least 3 days
- You have a PICC or midline catheter
- You have a confirmed blood infection related to your catheter
- You are in a social security system (like Medicare or Medicaid)
- You agree to take part in the study

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.
This research study looks at how often blood clots form around long-term catheters (thin tubes placed in veins) in hospitalized patients. The study uses ultrasound to check for clots and may help doctors understand and prevent this complication.
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 is looking at the thin layer of germs (called biofilm) that can form on IV tubes used in the hospital, and how it might cause infections. If you are staying at the NOVO hospital in Pontoise and have a small IV in place, researchers want to learn more about the germs on it to help prevent infections in the future.
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.
