Improving Arteriovenous Fistula Patency

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

All vascular access guidelines recommend monitoring and surveillance protocols to prevent vascular access complications in hemodialysis units.

However, in the case of second generation screening techniques which determine access blood flow measurement (QA), there is a huge controversy about it´s efficiency.

Although multiple observational studies find a decrease in the thrombosis rate and an increased primary assisted patency survival related to the use of these techniques, a recently published meta-analysis find contradictory results in the randomized controlled trials, affirming that the measurement of QA is useless in grafts and questionable in native arteriovenous fistulae (AVF).

We have designed a multicenter, prospective, open label, controlled, randomized trial, to prove the usefulness of the QA measurement using two complementary second generation techniques, Doppler ultrasound and Transonic dilution method, compared to the classical monitoring and surveillance methods.

The primary endpoint will be a reduction in the thrombosis rate with an increased assisted primary patency survival, and a cost effectiveness economic analysis.

As secondary endpoints we will analyze the impact over non-assisted primary patency survival and secondary patency survival.

Clinical Trial Description

Definition:

Multicenter, prospective, open label, controlled, randomized trial, to prove the usefulness of the QA measurement using two complementary second generation techniques, Doppler ultrasound and Transonic dilution method, compared to the classical monitoring and surveillance methods.

For Patient Registries:

Clinical data repository (CDR) paper notebook will contain all baseline patient characteristics and the information related to vascular access. These data will be collected by the different investigators and reviewed and included in data base by the study´s monitor.

This information will be included in a centralized computer database (SPSS 15.0 computer system) and encoded in order to preserve patients´ confidentiality. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
