Brief summary
RATIONALE: The use of dalteparin may be able to prevent complications caused by the use of a catheter to supply chemotherapy to cancer patients. It is not yet known if dalteparin is effective in reducing these complications. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of dalteparin in preventing catheter-related complications in cancer patients who are receiving chemotherapy through a catheter.
Detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine if dalteparin will reduce the incidence of clinically significant catheter related complications (i.e., asymptomatic catheter related thrombosis) in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy through a central venous catheter. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to treatment center and catheter placement (proximal to axilla vs distal to axilla). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive dalteparin subcutaneously (SC) daily. Arm II: Patients receive placebo SC daily. Treatment continues for 16 weeks or until catheter removal in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed for 30 days. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 345 patients (230 in arm I and 115 in arm II) will be accrued for this study over 6 months.
