About this study

Official title: Prevention of Central Veinous Device Related Sepsis Relapse With Taurolidine in Patients on Parenteral Nutrition in Long-term Home

Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a validated technique for patients with various intestinal disease leading to chronic malabsorption or obstruction, whatever the aetiology. Intravascular catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) is the more frequent complication of patients with HPN and an important cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Moreover, CRBSI often recur after a first treatment of the catheter with a combination of an antibiotic lock on the catheter and systemic intravenous antibiotics. In more than 50 % of the cases, another CRBSI will occur in a median delay of 5 months.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a taurolidine lock secondary prophylaxis on CRBSI recurrence in HPN patients.

Study population is separated in 2 groups, the first one receiving the Taurolock and the second one receiving a placebo. This is a randomized double-blind six-month study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TaurolidineDevice

    2 mL of taurolidine instillate on the intravascular catheter after each parenteral nutrition session for a duration of 6 months

  • Physiologic SerumDevice

    2 mL of physiologic serum instillate on the intravascular catheter after each parenteral nutrition session for a duration of 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Taurolidine and Physiologic Serum in people with Sepsis, run by University Hospital, Rouen at 7 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: lack of recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of recurrence of catheter-related infection in each group (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2013.
