Brief Summary: RATIONALE Heparin or M-EDTA may prevent catheter-related infections and blockages in patients at high risk for a catheter-related infection It is not yet known whether heparin is more effective than M-EDTA in preventing catheter-related infections and blockages in patients at high risk for a catheter-related infection

PURPOSE This randomized clinical trial is studying heparin to see how well it works compared with M-EDTA in preventing catheter-related infections and blockages in patients at high risk for a catheter-related infection
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the incidence of catheter-related infections Staphylococcal and Candida in patients at high risk for a catheter-related infection treated with heparin vs minocycline hydrochloride and edetate calcium disodium M-EDTA

Secondary

Compare the incidence of catheter occlusions in patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized double-blind prospective multicenter study Patients are stratified according to type of catheter tunneled central venous catheter CVC vs nontunneled percutaneous CVC and participating center Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive minocycline hydrochloride and edetate calcium disodium M-EDTA flush solution into the CVC once daily
Arm II Patients receive heparin flush solution into the CVC once daily Treatment in both arms continues for up to 3 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or until the removal of the catheter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 150 patients will be accrued for this study
