A Phase 2 interventional study of Placebo and Gruticibart in Thrombosis, sponsored by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-31.
Sponsored by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This phase II trial studies how well gruticibart works in reducing the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) blood clots in patients with a central venous catheter (CVC) inserted. Many patients develop blood clots from their catheters and can have pain, swelling, and other symptoms. They also often require blood thinners, which can increase the risk of bleeding. Gruticibart, a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody, may prevent blood clots caused by a catheter.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE(S):
I. To determine the safety of gruticibart as measured by the incidence of CRT in individuals with a CVC II. To determine the efficacy of gruticibart as measured by the incidence of CRT in individuals with a CVC II. To determine the efficacy of gruticibart as measured by the incidence of CRT in individuals with a CVC
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of gruticibart in patients with a CVC II. To determine the efficacy of gruticibart as measured by the time to CRT and incidence of any thrombosis in individuals with a CVC
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
Arm A. Participants receive single dose of placebo IV via CVC or peripheral IV line.
Arm B. Participantsreceive single dose of gruticibart (2 mg/kg) IV via CVC or peripheral IV line.
After completion of study treatment, participants will be followed for AEs for a total of 30 days from time of administration of study drug, and are considered off-study after 30 days. .

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).
Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
