Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main purpose of this study is to determine if the Angiotech central venous catheter (CVC) is equal in effectiveness to a CVC coated with chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine in preventing bacterial catheter colonization. Other objectives of this study are to determine if the Angiotech CVC is equal in effectiveness to a CVC coated with chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine in preventing catheter-related local infection, and catheter-related bloodstream infection. This study will also assess the safety of the Angiotech CVC.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Central venous catheters are widely used for hemodynamic monitoring and the administration of fluids, drugs, and nutrition. The most frequent life-threatening complication of central venous catheter use is septicemia. Normal cutaneous flora may invade the intracutaneous tract during or after catheter insertion. The colonizing bacteria subsequently disseminate along the catheter surface and ultimately seed into the blood stream.

In the United States, a total of 250,000 cases of central venous catheter-related infections are estimated annually. Costs per infection are estimated as high as US$56,000. It is clinically imperative that effective measures be found to decrease catheter infection rates while minimizing the risk of the development of microbial resistance.

Primary Objective: The primary objective of this study is to determine the non-inferiority of the Angiotech Central Venous Catheter (CVC) when compared to the ARROWgard Blue® CVC to prevent bacterial catheter colonization.

Secondary Objectives: The secondary objectives of this study are to determine the non-inferiority of the Angiotech CVC when compared to the ARROWgard Blue® CVC to prevent:

1. catheter-related local infection; and
2. catheter-related bloodstream infection.

Safety Objectives: This study will assess the safety of the Angiotech CVC.

ARROWgard Blue® CVC

7-French x 20-cm, triple lumen, short-term CVC

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Central Venous Catheter

Intervention Type DEVICE

7-French x 20-cm, triple lumen, short-term CVC vs. 7-French x 20-cm, triple lumen, short-term CVC with an anti-infective polymer coating, applied to the outer surface that contains the active pharmaceutical ingredient 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The Angiotech CVC uses a 50µg/linear cm dose of 5-FU

Angiotech CVC

A 7-French x 20-cm, triple lumen, short-term CVC with an anti-infective polymer coating, applied to the outer surface that contains the active pharmaceutical ingredient 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The Angiotech CVC uses a 50µg/linear cm dose of 5-FU

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Central Venous Catheter

Intervention Type DEVICE

7-French x 20-cm, triple lumen, short-term CVC vs. 7-French x 20-cm, triple lumen, short-term CVC with an anti-infective polymer coating, applied to the outer surface that contains the active pharmaceutical ingredient 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The Angiotech CVC uses a 50µg/linear cm dose of 5-FU
