Comparison between treatment groups of proportion of participants who experience a Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) within 12 months of the start of the study
The proportion of participants who remain infection-free in the treatment groups will be compared, censoring participants who do not experience a CLABSI within 9 months, but fail to complete the 12 month follow-up period of the study.
Time frame: Self-administered by participants (or a designated caregiver) per the participants regular TPN/ line access schedule, through study completion (up to 12 months)
Incidence of AEs, SAEs, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Compare the safety profile of DefenCath for use as a Catheter Lock Solution (CLS) in adult participants receiving Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) through a Central Venous Catheter (CVC) to the control of heparin CLS
Time frame: Self-administered by participants (or a designated caregiver) per the participants regular TPN/ line access schedule, through study completion (up to 12 months)
Incidence of changes in laboratory evaluations, vital signs, or physical exam findings
Compare the safety profile of DefenCath for use as a CLS in adult participants receiving TPN through a CVC to the control of heparin CLS
Time frame: Self-administered by participants (or a designated caregiver) per the participants regular TPN/ line access schedule, through study completion (up to 12 months)
