What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that nurse-led teams can safely and effectively place PICCs, potentially improving access to this procedure.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with no new treatment, so it won't directly change patient care. Results may not apply to all hospitals or countries.
