New catheter lock may cut blockages in kids on long-term nutrition

NCT ID NCT05879835

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests if a 4% tetrasodium EDTA solution is better than the standard heparin lock at preventing central line blockages in children with intestinal failure who need long-term nutrition through a vein. About 124 children from multiple hospitals will take part. The goal is to reduce the need for extra procedures to fix blocked catheters and to see if it also lowers infection rates.
