Study information
| Primary study design | Interventional |
|---|---|
| Study design | Randomised controlled trial incorporating pre and post trial qualitative research |
| Secondary study design | Randomised controlled trial |
| Scientific title | Cancer And Venous Access (CAVA) A randomised controlled trial with associated qualitative research of venous access devices for the delivery of long-term chemotherapy |
| Study acronym | CAVA |
| Study objectives | To determine which venous access device - subcutaneously tunnelled central catheters (Hickman type device), peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) or implantable chest wall ports (Port) - offers the best outcome from safety, clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness perspectives. More details can be found at http://www.hta.ac.uk/2985 |
| Ethics approval(s) | Ethics approval has been sought from the West of Scotland REC 1. Reference Number: 13/WS/0056. Provisional approval for the CAVA trial was received on 11/03/2013. |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Venous Access in Cancer Patients |
| Intervention | All patients will receive either a Port, PICC or Hickman Type device. There are four possible randomisation options for each patient. The site or patient will chose which randomisation option to be part of and then the patient will be randomised between the possible devices in that option. The options are: Hickman type device versus PICC Hickman type device versus chest wall port PICC versus chest wall port Hickman type device versus PICC versus chest wall port |

| Primary outcome measure(s) |
The primary outcome for the randomised trial is complication rate, a composite of infection (suspected or confirmed) and/or mechanical failure. This will be analysed using logistic regression including terms for treatment group and randomisation stratification factors. |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
An analysis will also be conducted based on complication event rate data 13. This analysis will estimate the effect of the access devices on the individual component complications (infections and mechanical failure) and will allow an assessment of the similarity of these effects via a likelihood ratio test. The incidence of venous thrombosis will be compared using logistic regression and also as an event rate. The frequency of the various complications will be assessed. The total duration of treatment interruptions will be summarised and compared using a Mann Whitney U-test. |
