What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    To evaluate if the death rate of participants using the HeRO Graft is less than the death rate of patients who do not receive the HeRO Graft and continue to use a tunneled dialysis catheter for dialysis.

    Measured: Every six months post-implant until death or no longer using HeRO Graft for dialysis, up to five years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Adequacy of dialysis (Kt/V)

    To evaluate if the adequacy of dialysis of participants using the HeRO Graft is better than the adequacy of dialysis of patients who do not receive the HeRO Graft and continue to use a tunneled dialysis catheter for dialysis.

    Measured: Every six months post-implant until death or no longer using HeRO Graft for dialysis, up to five years

  2. Infection rate

    To evaluate if the infection rate of participants using the HeRO Graft is less than the infection rate of patients who do not receive the HeRO Graft and continue to use a tunneled dialysis catheter for dialysis.

    Measured: Every six months post-implant until death or no longer using HeRO Graft for dialysis, up to five years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of End Stage Renal Failure on Dialysis, run by Merit Medical Systems, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2021.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 United States. 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Mortality (time frame: Every six months post-implant until death or no longer using HeRO Graft for dialysis, up to five years). 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 NCT02164175, which also lists 3 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 10 May 2021.
