Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Dysfunctional autogenous arteriovenous fistula patient: A stenosis in a hemodialysis access with significant hemodynamic changes: Based on angiography/ultrasound evaluation, the target lesion stenosis is ≥50%, and is accompanied by one or more of the following clinical and physiological abnormalities: natural fistula blood flow <480ml/min; unable to meet the required blood flow for the dialysis prescription; thrombosis in the autogenous arteriovenous fistula; elevated venous pressure during dialysis; difficult cannulation; decreased dialysis adequacy; and abnormal signs in the fistula, etc.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects aged between 18 and 75 years.
  • Subjects possess a mature upper limb autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and have undergone at least one hemodialysis session.
  • Target lesion must be located in the venous segment of the upper limb AVF.
  • Doppler ultrasound confirms that the target lesion stenosis is ≥50%, accompanied by at least one of the following clinical manifestations: elevated venous pressure during dialysis, abnormal fistula signs, significant reduction in blood flow (<200ml/min).
  • Guidewire and balloon successfully pass through the lesion and complete dilation. 6.Subjects or their legal representatives must understand the purpose of the trial, voluntarily participate in the clinical trial, and sign an informed consent form, while also being willing to adhere to the specific follow-up schedules set by this trial.

Who cannot join

  • Target lesion located in the arterial segment or anastomosis of the AVF.
  • Target lesion located in the lower limb AVF.
  • Subjects with previous stent implantation in the AVF.
  • Patients diagnosed with symptomatic central venous occlusive disease: AVF flow reduction accompanied by swelling of the ipsilateral limb, chest, or facial area, with DSA confirmation of central venous occlusive disease.
  • Subjects with two or more target lesions in the AVF (when two stenoses are less than 3 cm apart, they are considered as one target lesion).
  • Subjects with acute thrombosis in the AVF or who have undergone AVF thrombolysis or thrombectomy within the past 30 days.
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Subjects who have undergone or plan to undergo surgical intervention on the AVF within 30 days.
  • Subjects with AVF infection or concurrent systemic active infection.
  • Subjects planning renal transplantation or switching to peritoneal dialysis within the next 12 months.
  • Subjects with diseases causing coagulopathy, such as thrombocytopenic purpura.
  • Subjects undergoing immunotherapy or suspected/diagnosed with vasculitis.
  • Subjects with allergies or contraindications to heparin or contrast agents.
  • Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Subjects with a life expectancy of less than 12 months.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Efficacy of Drug-Coated Balloons and Cutting Balloons in the Treatment of Autologous Arteriovenous Fistula Stenosis: A Multi-Center Prospective Real-World Study.

This study was aimed at comparing the efficacy and safety of cutting balloons versus drug-coated balloons in treating venous segment stenosis of autologous arteriovenous fistulas.This is a prospective, multi-center cohort study.

Read the detailed description

The study will recruit 180 patients with venous segment stenosis of autologous arteriovenous fistulas at multiple centers from June 2024 to December 2025. Patients will be divided into two cohorts based on the treatment method: the Cutting Balloon group and the Drug-Coated Balloon group. The primary outcomes observed will be the primary patency rates of the target lesion at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-operation, re-intervention rates of the target vessel, and the technical success rates and procedural success rates of the two devices, along with major adverse events during the perioperative period.

Being tested
Endovascular therapy

What participants receive

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

  • Endovascular therapyProcedure or surgery

    Endovascular therapy is a minimally invasive interventional approach that utilizes the vascular system as a pathway to access and treat various pathological conditions within the body. By employing specialized catheters and devices, endovascular techniques enable precise delivery of therapeutic agents or interventional procedures directly to the target site, without the need for conventional open surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinically-driven target lesion re-intervention

    Clinically-driven target lesion re-intervention refers to a repeat procedure performed on a previously treated lesion due to the recurrence of symptoms or other clinical indications, rather than being routinely scheduled.

    Measured: 1-month#3-month#6-month#12-month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Target lesion primary patency

    Target lesion primary patency refers to the treated lesion site remaining open and unobstructed without the need for any additional revascularization procedure during the follow-up period.

    Measured: 1-month#3-month#6-month#12-month

  2. Target lesion assisted primary patency

    Target lesion assisted primary patency refers to the treated lesion site remaining patent (open) during the follow-up period, but requiring an additional revascularization procedure, such as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, to maintain patency of the target lesion.

    Measured: 1-month#3-month#6-month#12-month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodialysis Access Failure, run by RenJi Hospital at 3 sites in China.

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 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2024. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact RuZhou Cao (+86-18616752813, caorzh@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinically-driven target lesion re-intervention (time frame: 1-month#3-month#6-month#12-month). 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 9 Jul 2024.
