The PROOF Study: The PICC Related Obstruction Of Flow Study (PROOF)

May 16, 2019 updated by: Angiodynamics, Inc.

A Randomized Prospective Multicenter Evaluation to Investigate the Incidence of Catheter Related Venous Thrombosis in Patients Undergoing Intravenous Therapy With the BioFlo™ Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or Bard® Dual-Lumen PowerPICC SOLO2®

The main purpose of this study is to confirm whether the AngioDynamics BioFlo™ Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) is associated with less formation of blood clots compared to another commercially available PICC.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Purpose:

To investigate whether the BioFlo™ PICC will be associated with a reduced incidence of catheter-related venous thrombosis (including both symptomatic and asymptomatic) compared to another commercially available PICC: the Bard® PowerPICC SOLO2®

Design:

This is a randomized, multi-center clinical study. The study is designed as a two-arm prospectively controlled trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the study or control catheter using a 1:1 schema.

Enrollment:

Four hundred sixteen (416) patients will be enrolled at four (4) to eight (8) study sites in order to obtain 354 evaluable patients.

Study Objectives:

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the incidence of catheter-related venous thrombosis in patients receiving either the 5 Fr BioFlo™ PICC catheter or the control catheter, i.e., the 5 Fr Dual-Lumen PowerPICC SOLO2® catheter.

Secondary objectives of this study are to investigate:

  • Incidence of other catheter-related complications, inclusive of catheter occlusion, catheter-related infection, technical failures, and premature catheter removals
  • Incidence of catheter occlusion (independently from other catheter-related complications)

Additionally, economic outcomes with respect to medical resource utilization requirements will be compared between the two catheter groups (at US sites only).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  4. Has normal findings on initial ultrasonography (complete Ultrasound Checklist)
  5. Vein used for PICC placement must be a minimum of 5mm in diameter
  6. Is able to comprehend and have signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF) to participate in the study (or has the ICF signed by the patient's legal representative)

Exclusion Criteria:

    • coagulopathy (International Normalized Ratio 2.5 or greater)
    • established diagnosis of hypercoagulable syndrome (e.g., protein C and S deficiency, anti-phospholipid antibody or polycythemia) or requires systemic therapeutic anticoagulation (Note: The following prophylactic treatments are allowed: subcutaneous heparin or enoxaparin sodium injection, and concomitant use of platelet aggregation inhibitors, e.g., Plavix/Ticlid/aspirin)
  3. Has central veno-occlusive disease

  5. Has arm identified for catheterization that exhibits any of the following (and the contralateral arm is also unsuitable for PICC placement based on the same criteria):

    • Current (or prior history of) venous thrombosis in all or any portion of the vein where the catheter is expected to reside
    • Conditions that impede venous return from the extremity (such as paralysis or lymphedema after mastectomy)
    • Pre-existing skin surface or subsurface infection at or near the proposed catheter insertion site
    • Anatomical distortions from surgery, injury or trauma (e.g., orthopedic conditions such as compound fractures requiring reconstructive procedures)
    • Anatomical irregularities (structural, vascular, neurological) which may compromise catheter insertion or catheter care procedures in the involved extremity (e.g., reflex sympathetic dystrophy)
  6. Is pregnant or lactating
  7. Has been previously enrolled in this clinical study, or is participating in another clinical study that is contraindicative to the treatment or outcomes of this investigation
