VALUE- Vascular Access Laminate eUropean Experience. A Post Market Surveillance Study to Assess the Safety and Effectiveness of VasQ (VALUE)

January 30, 2024 updated by: Laminate Medical Technologies

A Post Market Surveillance Multi-center Prospective Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the VasQ External Support for Arteriovenous Fistula

This is a prospective single arm study enrolling patients who are scheduled for creation of a new Brachiocephalic or Radiocephalic AV fistula. Up to 80 patients will be enrolled, 50 with upper arm AV fistula and 30 with forearm AV fistula. All patients will be implanted with the VasQ device, a subcutaneous arteriovenous conduit support for vascular access. The follow up period in this study will be for a duration of 12 months, with follow up visits scheduled at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
80

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 76 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients referred for creation of a new brachiocephalic or radiocephalic fistula who consent to take part in the study.
  2. Age 18-80 years
  3. Male and female participants
  4. Patients willing and able to attend follow up visits over a period of 12 months

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with the planned index procedure being a revision surgery of an existing fistula.
  2. Target Brachial artery smaller than 2.5 mm or larger than 6 mm or Radial artery smaller than 2.5 mm or larger than 4 mm in outer diameter by preoperative ultrasound
  3. Target vein outer diameter smaller than 2.5 mm by preoperative ultrasound
  4. Significantly stenotic target vein on the side of surgery (≥50%) as diagnosed on pre-op ultrasound (scan should include the area between the planned anastomosis site and the Axillary vein)
  5. Unusual anatomy or vessel dimensions (observed on pre-operative US or intraoperatively) and which preclude adequate fit of the VasQ.
  6. Patients with prior central venous stenosis or obstruction on the side of surgery
  7. Depth of vein greater than 8 mm (on ultrasound) on side of surgery
  8. Known coagulation disorder
  9. Congestive heart failure NYHA class ≥ 3

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary patency of AV fistula
Time Frame: 6 months post AVF creation

Freedom from any intervention designed to maintain or reestablish patency since device placement and demonstrate flow on Doppler US.

1 = Success = Intervention free access patency determined by Doppler ultrasound.

0 = Failure = Access occluded determined by Doppler ultrasound and/or underwent intervention
6 months post AVF creation
