|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00294502 ↗ | Antibiotic Lock Solutions in the Prevention of Catheter Related Bacteremia | Completed | Henry Ford Health System | Phase 4 | 2003-09-01 | To study the efficacy of an antibacterial/anticoagulant solution instilled into the hemodialysis (HD) catheters after each treatment ("antibiotic lock solution - ALS") to prevent catheter related bacteremia (CRB) and to salvage catheters with established CRB. |
| NCT00400595 ↗ | Use of Ointments in Prevention of Catheter Related Infections in PD | Completed | University Health Network, Toronto | Phase 4 | 2006-02-01 | Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is used for the treatment of end-stage renal disease in approximately 25% of patients requiring dialysis in Canada. The most common complication is bacterial infection or 'peritonitis'. Peritonitis causes severe acute abdominal pain and may lead to failure of peritoneal dialysis treatment, hospitalization or death, particularly if left untreated. Amongst the strategies used to prevent peritonitis, patients are instructed on the regular use of a prophylactic ointment around the point where the catheter exits from the body. At the present time most centers in Canada routinely prescribe mupirocin ointment for use at the exit site, however newer ointments have become available. One such ointment is Polysporin Triple. The aim of this study is to determine if catheter related infections can be significantly reduced by the routine application of Polysporin Triple in comparison to mupirocin ointment. A multi-centre, randomized, double blind, controlled study is proposed. Participants will be randomized to either mupirocin or Polysporin Triple and followed for 18 months or until the first catheter related infection, death or catheter removal. The difference in catheter related infection rates will be compared between the two groups. We anticipate the results of this study will allow clinicians to prescribe the ointment most likely to reduce infections. By doing so this will reduce the complication rate associated with peritoneal dialysis and, ultimately improve survival. |
| NCT00695578 ↗ | Clinical Trial to Evaluate Biafine Cream Versus Standard Care in Subjects With Actinic Keratosis Post Cryotherapy | Completed | Wake Forest University | Phase 4 | 2006-10-01 | The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the use of Biafine Cream on wounds created by removal of actinic keratosis using cryotherapy in a clinical setting. |
| NCT00990392 ↗ | Topical Antibiotics for Prevention of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Central Line Infections | Withdrawn | Fraser Health | N/A | 2009-11-01 | The purpose of the study is to determine if the overall central venous catheter related infection rate can be reduced by the application of Polysporin Triple Therapy ointment to the insertion site. |
