NCT ID NCT07585188

First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a taurolidine lock solution, placed inside the catheter when not in use, can prevent serious bloodstream infections in newborns. About 576 infants in intensive care who need a central line will be randomly assigned to receive either the taurolidine lock or a placebo. The goal is to see if this approach safely reduces infections without causing catheter blockages.
