About this study

Official title: Biomimetic (SUPERA) Stent and Drug Eluting Balloon (Passeo 18 Lux) to Treat Recurrent Cephalic Arch Stenosis

The study evaluates the use of a biomimetic stent (SUPERA®) and a drug eluting balloon (DEB - Passeo 18 Lux) for the treatment of recurrent and tight cephalic arch stenosis in patients with brachiocephalic fistulas. All participants will undergo angioplasty with stated devices, and be followed up with over 12 months.

Read the detailed description

To date, the treatment options are limited for recurrent and tight cephalic arch stenosis in patients with brachiocephalic fistulas - Angioplasty, with or without the placement of a stent, surgical bypass using the internal jugular vein or a cephalic/brachial venous anastomosis, or the creation of a new fistula may be a reasonable option. Angioplasty may be associated with technical failure and rupture of the arch vein in reported incidences of 24% and 6%, respectively. Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) is associated with very low primary patency rates of 42% and 23% at 6 and 12 months, whilst bare stents are equally poor, with reported patency of 39% and 0% at those same time-point. The use of a biomimetic stent (SUPERA®) in the cephalic arch has not been studied to date, but may not only offer protection from rupture of the arch vein but may also create a material barrier to prevent the development of Neo-Intimal Hyperplasia (NIH). With the additional use of drug elution, this may impede NIH effect even more.

What is being measured

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

  1. Angiographic Success

    <30% regional stenosis within the stent and minimal lumen size should reach 5mm

    Measured: Immediately post-operation

  2. Functional Fistula

    At the following time points, to monitor for any changes in whether fistula can be used successfully for dialysis without the need for re-intervention.

    Measured: Post-operation 1 week, 2 months, 6 months and 12 months.

  3. Primary Patency of Cephalic Arch

    Less than 50% stenosis observed on duplex ultrasound

    Measured: 1 year post-operation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Access Circuit Thrombosis

    Thrombosis of access circuit requiring further intervention such as thrombolysis

    Measured: 1 year post-operation

  2. Number of re-interventions per year

    To note any re-interventions performed post-study procedure

    Measured: 1 year post-operation

  3. Access Circuit Restenosis / Stent Fractures

    To note any restenosis or stent fractures during study period that requires re-intervention

    Measured: 1 year post-operation

  4. Access Circuit Infection

    To note any infection at treated fistula during study period

    Measured: 1 year post-operation

  5. Need for bypass revision surgery

    Measured: 1 year post-operation

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?

Angiographic Success (time frame: Immediately post-operation). The study lists 3 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 NCT03891693, which also lists 8 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.
