NCT00288418

Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of catheter colonization

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

    Maximum of 28 days

Study Arms (2)

ARROWgard Blue® CVC

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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

Device: Central Venous Catheter

Angiotech CVC

EXPERIMENTAL

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

Device: Central Venous Catheter

Interventions

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
