NCT ID NCT06979128
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study in Poland is checking how well a specially trained nursing team can insert PICCs (a type of long-term IV line) in 200 adult patients who need them for treatments like chemotherapy or nutrition. The main goal is to see how often they succeed on the first try. It's an observational study, meaning it just watches what happens without testing a new drug or device.
