Tissue Plasminogen Activator Dwells to Reduce Catheter-associated Thrombosis and Infection
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating alteplase (recombinant t-PA) and Heparin for Central Venous Catheter Thrombosis and Central Venous Catheter Associated Bloodstream Infection. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to test feasibility of concept, consent and enrollment rates, and mechanics of study designed to assess if intra-catheter dwells of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) is effective in decreasing the rate of clinically diagnosed central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI) or venous thromboembolism (VTE) in central venous catheters (CVC) compared to standard of care heparin dwell.
