About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Assessment of Humacyte's Human Acellular Vessel in Patients Needing Vascular Access for Dialysis

This is a Phase 2, prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study of the Human Acellular Vessel (HAV).

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study. Subjects who sign informed consent would undergo study-specific screening assessments within 45 days from the day of informed consent.

Eligible study subjects will receive a HAV and will be followed to 12 months post-implantation at routine study visits regardless of patency status. After 12 months, subjects with a patent HAV will be followed (while the HAV remains patent) for up to 2 years (24 months) post implantation at study visits every 6 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HAVBiological

    Surgical implantation of the HAV and subsequent use of the implanted vascular conduit for hemodialysis vascular access.

Study groups in NCT04135417
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HAVExperimentalThe HAV is a tissue-engineered vascular conduit (6mm diameter) for hemodialysis access in patients with end-stage renal disease. HAV for this study will be manufactured using the commercial manufacturing system.It will be implanted in the forearm or upper arm using standard vascular surgical techniques. All subjects will be required to start taking daily aspirin (75 or 325 mg) on Day 1 after surgical implantation of HAV unless they are already taking another antiplatelet agent. If low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is administered post-operatively, aspirin or other antiplatelet agents should be initiated after stopping LMWH. Subjects who are known to be aspirin-sensitive should take another antiplatelet agent at the discretion of the Principal Investigator.
Receives: Biological: HAV

What is being measured

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

  1. Cumulative Number of Subjects With Adverse Events Indicating Possible Mechanical Failure or Weakness of the HAV

    Frequency and severity of AEs of each patient will be documented

    Measured: Up to 3 months post-implantation

  2. Number of Participants With Baseline Change of Panel Reactive Antibody (PRA) Value

    Assess changes in the PRA response (number of participants) over the 2 months after graft implantation

    Measured: 2 months post implantation

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)

    Frequency and severity of all adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events of special interest (AESI) of each patient will be documented.

    Measured: Up to 3 months post-implantation

  4. Number of Participants With Primary Patency, Primary Assisted Patency and Secondary Patency

    Measured: 3 months post-implantation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With Baseline Change of Panel Reactive Antibody (PRA) Value

    Assess changes in the PRA response (number of subjects) over the 12 months after graft implantation

    Measured: 12 months post-implantation

  2. Number of Participants With All AEs/SAEs

    Frequency and severity of AEs/SAE of each patient will be documented

    Measured: Up to 12 months post-implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing HAV in people with Renal Failure and End Stage Renal Disease, run by Humacyte, Inc. at 2 sites in Poland.

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 13 inclusion and 22 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 19 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Poland. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Feb 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Cumulative Number of Subjects With Adverse Events Indicating Possible Mechanical Failure or Weakness of the HAV (time frame: Up to 3 months post-implantation). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Mar 2024.
