About this trial
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.
