Phase N/A

This study is about how often to change the bandage on a special tube called a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC). This tube is important for people with cancer like colon or pancreas cancer, as it helps deliver chemotherapy, which is cancer medicine, safely into their bodies. The study is trying to see if changing the bandage every 7 days (weekly) or every 14 days (biweekly) is safer and better for the skin.

Sometimes, changing bandages too often can hurt the skin, especially in people with sensitive skin due to cancer treatments. This is called Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury (MARSI). The study will include 150 adults who need these tubes for their cancer treatment. They will be observed over at least 6 cycles of chemotherapy, which may last up to 168 days.

  • Participants are split into two groups: weekly and biweekly dressing changes.
  • The study lasts up to 168 days (12 chemotherapy sessions).
  • Participants will be checked for skin safety and how well the tube works.

Those interested should be adults with colon or pancreas cancer needing a PICC and be able to follow study instructions. Participants will be monitored for any complications and their satisfaction with the care they receive.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
