  • Able to communicate meaningfully with investigative staff and able to comply with entire study procedures.
  • Willing and competent to give written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • History or evidence of severe cardiac disease (NYHA Functional Class III or IV), myocardial infarction within six months prior to study entry (Day 1), ventricular tachyarrhythmias requiring continuing treatment, or unstable angina.
  • Uncontrolled or poorly controlled diabetes; hospitalization for poor glucose control within the previous 6 months.
  • History or evidence of severe peripheral vascular disease in the upper limbs
  • Known or suspected central vein obstruction on the side of planned graft implantation.
  • Documented hypercoagulable state or history of thromboembolic events or history of repeated venous catheter clotting.
  • Known Positive COVID 19 test result or known exposure to COVID 19 in past 4 months.

  • Known active infection including dental infection, osteomyelitis and other conditions which could present a local or systemic risk of infection.
  • Bleeding diathesis.
  • Contraindication to or known serious allergy to anticoagulant, aspirin, or planned antiplatelet therapy. History of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
  • Contraindication to or known serious allergy to penicillin.
  • Ongoing therapy with vitamin K antagonists or direct thrombin inhibitors or factor Xa inhibitors.
  • Immunodeficiency including AIDS / HIV or active autoimmune disease, or on immunosuppressant therapy.
  • Previous PTFE graft in the operative limb unless the TRUE graft can be placed more proximally than the previous failed graft.
  • More than 1 failed PTFE graft in the operative limb.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, nonrandomized, single-arm, single-center, open-label, first-in-human clinical study in subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and not candidates for an autogenous fistula creation. Subjects will be followed regularly with office visits at the investigational site at days 15, 29, 57 and weeks 12, 26 for vessel imaging, blood draws and other follow-up tests.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety, adverse events

    incidence of clinically significant aneurysm, anastomotic bleeding, graft or anastomotic rupture, graft infection, and implant site irritation, inflammation, or infection

    Measured: 26 weeks

  2. Patency

    time to loss of patency from implantation by Kaplan Meier

    Measured: 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Immunology

    assess changes in panel reactive antibody (PRA) from baseline

    Measured: baseline through 4 weeks

  2. Intervention rate

    rate of interventions needed to maintain patency

    Measured: through 26 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing natural human collagen arteriovenous graft for hemodialysis access in people with End Stage Renal Disease, run by Vascudyne, Inc. at 1 site in Paraguay.

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 7 inclusion and 14 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 23 Jun 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 Paraguay. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Safety, adverse events (time frame: 26 weeks). The study lists 2 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 NCT04905511, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Jun 2022.
