Chlorhexidine Gluconate Cleansing in Preventing Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection and Acquisition of Multi-drug Resistant Organisms in Younger Patients With Cancer or Undergoing Donor Stem Cell Transplant
United States177 participantsStarted 2013-11-04
Plain-language summary
This randomized phase III trial studies chlorhexidine gluconate cleansing to see how well it works compared to control cleansing in preventing central line associated bloodstream infection and acquisition of multi-drug resistant organisms in younger patients with cancer or undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Chlorhexidine gluconate may help reduce bloodstream infections and bacterial infections associated with the central line.

Inclusion Criteria:
* TRANSPLANT PATIENTS: all patients undergoing planned allogeneic transplant (both malignant and non-malignant diagnoses)
* ONCOLOGY PATIENTS: patients with an oncology diagnosis that are or will be on a chemotherapy regimen that will last for an additional \>= 3 months or are on or will be on a chemotherapy regimen for \< 3 months and then proceed to transplant (allogeneic or autologous stem cell rescue) during the 3-month study period
* Patients undergoing allogeneic transplant must have, or be scheduled to have, an external tunneled central venous catheter (CVC) (Broviacs, Hickmans, tunneled percutaneously inserted central catheter \[PICCs\], etc.) and/or non-tunneled percutaneously inserted central catheter (PICC) that is expected to remain in place for an additional \>= 3 months
* Patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that will receive chemotherapy with/without transplant must have, or be scheduled to have, an external tunneled CVC (Broviacs, Hickmans, tunneled PICCs, etc.) and/or non-tunneled PICC that is expected to remain in place for an additional \>= 3 months
* All other oncology patients that will receive chemotherapy with/without transplant must have, or be scheduled to have, an external tunneled CVC (Broviacs, Hickmans, tunneled PICCs, etc.) that is expected to remain in place for an additional \>= 3 months
