Official title
A Prospective, Randomized Study To Evaluate The Safety of Extending The Routine Flushing Of Implanted Port Devices From 4 Weeks To 12 Weeks
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Implanted port devices (IPD) play an essential role in the safe administration of cancer treatments by providing a device to safely administer caustic chemotherapy agents. The current recommended frequency of flushing the IPD per manufacturers guidelines is every 4-6 weeks. The purpose of this study is to find out if extending IPD flushes to every 12 weeks is safe and if it is just as effective as every 4 week flushing.
