Trial summary

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are made by joining a vein to an artery in order to get the vein dilated with sufficient blood flow in order to puncture the vein and clear the blood from wastes, in patients whose kidneys are destroyed and cannot provide this function. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial Comparing Transposition of the Basilic Vein, for Vascular Access, Performed in One-stage Versus Two-stages

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are made by joining a vein to an artery in order to get the vein dilated with sufficient blood flow in order to puncture the vein and clear the blood from wastes, in patients whose kidneys are destroyed and cannot provide this function. The success rate of this procedure varies between 50-80% and depends mainly on the size of the vein, with success being higher with larger veins. One of the veins used for an AVF is the basilic vein, located at the upper arm. This vein is however deeply located and necessitates movement (transposition) during surgery to a less deep and lateral path before it is joined to the artery, in order to be used. A single study has shown that surgery performed in two parts (one to enlarge the vein and the second one to relocate the enlarged vein under the wound, not in a new path) is more successful than doing the procedure altogether.

The aim of this study is to confirm the findings of the single study mentioned above (one versus two stages of basilic vein AVF), with the difference that the vein will be relocated outside the main wound, a method that is widely accepted as being better.

Read the detailed description

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are made by anastomosing a vein to an artery in order to get the vein dilated with sufficient blood flow in order to puncture the vein and perform hemodialysis in patients with renal failure. The success rate of this procedure varies between 50-80% and depends mainly on the size of the vein, with success being higher with larger veins. One of the veins used for an AVF is the basilic vein, located at the upper arm. This vein is however deeply located and necessitates transposition during surgery to a less deep and lateral subcutaneous plane before the anastomosis with the artery, in order to be used. A single study has shown that surgery performed in two stages (one to enlarge the vein and the second one to relocate the enlarged vein under the wound, not in a new path) is more successful than doing the procedure in one stage.

The aim of this study is to confirm the findings of the single study mentioned above (one versus two stages of basilic vein AVF), with the difference that the basilic vein will be relocated outside the main wound, a method that is widely accepted as being better.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maturation rate

    Usage of the AVF (or clearance in case of pre-hemodialysis)

    Measured: 6-10 weeks

  2. Long term primary, primary assisted and secondary patency

    Long term primary, primary assisted and secondary patency

    Measured: 1-3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Complication rate

    Hematoma, steal syndrome, venous hypertension

    Measured: 1-3 years

  2. Basilic vein size

    Basilic vein size on ultrasound

    Measured: 4 weeks

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transposition of the basilic vein and anastomosis with the brachial vein in people with Brachiobasilic Arteriovenous Fistula, run by University of Patras at 1 site in Greece.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Greece. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: PRIMARY EFFICACY OUTCOME MEASURE (MATURATION) WAS SIGNIFICANT, IN FAVOR OF THE TW0-STAGE PROCEDURE). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maturation rate (time frame: 6-10 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01274117, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Oct 2017.
