About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Drug Eluting Balloon for the Prevention of Hemodialysis Access Restenosis: A Prospective Randomized Trial (DEB Study)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of paclitaxel-coated balloon catheter to prevent restenosis after PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) of hemodialysis access (HA) in comparison with the uncoated PTA balloon catheter.

Read the detailed description

In Canada, there are over 20,000 patients with chronic end-stage renal disease (ESRD)on long-term hemodialysis and the number is increasing rapidly.The creation of hemodialysis access (HA) (also called "lifeline" for dialysis patients) has become the most common type of vascular surgery. These HA are frequently complicated by dysfunction after their creation mainly due to neointimal hyperplastic stenosis (> 60% at one year). PTA is an established cornerstone method of treating stenotic lesions because of its minimally invasive percutaneous nature and widespread availability.Although PTA has a high initial success rate,narrowing will often recur in 2-3 months hence requiring further interventions. There are currently no durable therapies for the prevention or treatment of HA dysfunction restenosis after PTA.

Recently drug eluting balloon (DEB) with paclitaxel have repeatedly demonstrated their effectiveness to prevent restenosis due to intimal proliferation in the coronary and peripheral arterial systems. The investigators believe that the DEB with paclitaxel will significantly decrease the HA restenosis rate at the treated site and therefore will improve the management of HA failures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Late lumen loss (LLL) at 6 months after PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty)

    Comparison of the mean LLL (late lumen loss) in patients in the two trial arms (DEB vs plain PTA) evaluated by quantitative angiography at six months after PTA.

    LLL is defined as the difference between the MLD (minimum lumen diameter) immediately after balloon angioplasty and the MLD at follow-up

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The angiographic percentage of diameter stenosis and the incidence of angiographic binary restenosis rate (≥50% of the diameter of the reference-vessel segment)

    The change in the degree of stenosis (in %) at the intervention site between the measure right after the intervention, and 6 months later and the difference between restenosis rates in the two trial arms at 6 months.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Change of HA flow

    Difference between mean HA flow in the two groups (measured at the same times)

    Measured: Before angioplasty, week 1, month 1or month 3

  3. The rate of HA failure

    Time elapsed from the initial intervention (at randomization) to the earliest (if any) of these 3 events: HA thrombosis, HA re-intervention (surgical or endovascular, including creation of a new HA), or CVC (central venous catheter) insertion for dialysis purpose

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Drug eluting balloon safety

    Proportion of patients with side effects in the 2 groups.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Paclitaxel Eluting Balloon Angioplasty and Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in people with Arteriovenous Fistulae and Arteriovenous Graft, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 3 sites 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 9 inclusion and 7 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 20 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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.

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?

Late lumen loss (LLL) at 6 months after PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) (time frame: 6 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 20 Jan 2021.
