About this study

Official title: A Randomized Open Label Trial of Oral Sirolimus for Decrease of Stenosis in Arteriovenous Fistula in Hemo-dialysis Patients When Compared With Standard Therapy

Dialysis patients presenting for angioplasty intervention for graft failure will be randomized to receive either Sirolimus or not receive Sirolimus (standard of care) to assess the time from primary failure or angioplasty intervention to second or next angioplasty intervention or graft failure.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized control study to determine the feasibility of using sirolimus peri-angioplasty to compare the time from primary failure or angioplasty intervention to second or next angioplasty intervention or graft failure to a control group who would not have received Sirolimus

  • SirolimusDrug

    Also called rapamycin

    3 mg po od loading dose for two days, then 2 mg po od for thirty days

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SirolimusExperimentalParticipants will take sirolimus for 3 days prior to procedure and 30 days post procedure.
Receives: Drug: Sirolimus
Not taking SirolimusNo interventionParticipants will not change the standard of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the sirolimus group to the control group from time of assisted primary and secondary patency rates to access abandonment

    Comparison of the sirolimus group to the control group from time of assisted primary and secondary patency rates to access abandonment

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary End point

    Secondary end points will be improvement in vascular access flow rates as measured by either online conductivity dialysance or ultrasound dilution techniques.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sirolimus in people with End Stage Renal Disease and Venous Stenosis, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 16 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2022. 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 Canada. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Comparison of the sirolimus group to the control group from time of assisted primary and secondary patency rates to access abandonment (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 16 May 2022.
