About this trial
This is a pivotal, interventional, prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-site clinical investigation intended to support FDA clearance of the study device based on the safety and efficacy of the device in cannulating arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) for hemodialysis procedures.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Arterial/Pull Zone: _____ mm deep
Venous/Push Zone: _____ mm deep
Failed access attempt in a fistula that was previously approved for cannulation, or
Unable to palpate the fistula such that cannulation is not possible without patient risk.
Disqualifiers
None
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
VenaSure
DeviceThe device will be surgically implanted at the access site in subjects undergoing routine hemodialysis. The device is expected to provide a target to aid in long-term cannulation success.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the study device in facilitating cannulation of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) for hemodialysis.
Incidence of success for achieving clinically functional access within a 6-month timeframe from approved cannulation through the study device.
To evaluate the safety of the study device.
The assessment and occurrence of device-related, serious adverse events (SAEs) of clinical interest (infection, aneurysm, complicated seroma) during a 12- month follow-up period from initial implantation adjudicated by a Data Monitoring Committee (DMC)
Secondary outcomes
To investigate time-related parameters surrounding the study device in facilitating hemodialysis.
Cumulative duration (days) of hemodialysis catheter exposure (post device implantation), including CVC reinsertion events
To further evaluate the safety of the study device
Incidence and types of device-related complications
To further evaluate the safety of the study device
Days to successful cannulation and hemodialysis through the device
To further evaluate the safety of the study device
Vascular access interventions required to achieve the primary effectiveness endpoint
Other outcomes
Exploratory Outcome 1
Infiltration rate and AVF failure rate after infiltration
Exploratory Outcome 2
Patient Satisfaction Survey
Exploratory Outcome 3
Utilization of health care resources: health economic data analysis to be performed based on available study data for the treatment related costs (e.g. procedural costs, hospital costs, etc.)
