About this study

Official title: Drug-eluting Balloon vs. Conventional Balloon in the Treatment of (re)Stenosis - a Randomized Prospective Study (Dialysis Fistulae)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of drug-eluting balloons is effective in the treatment of (re)stenosis in dialysis fistulae.

Read the detailed description

Drug-eluting devices have proved beneficial in the treatment of stenosis in native coronary and lower limb arteries. Stenosis and restenosis is a known problem in dialysis fistulae and drug-eluting devices might be beneficial in this field as well.

In the procedure a conventional balloon is passed through the stenosis which is then dilated. After this patients are randomized before a second dilatation with either a conventional balloon or a drug-coated balloon.

The stenosis is evaluated preoperatively and followed up by means of ultrasound by a vascular technician. Follow-up will end at 12 months.

Being tested
Conventional angioplasty, Angioplasty with drug-eluting balloon

What is being measured

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

  1. TLR

    Target lesion revascularization, ie. re-intervention to the same lesion

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Occlusion of access

    Any loss of dialysis access due to thrombosis

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Primary assisted patency

    Patency after endovascular reintervention due to restenosis or thrombosis

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Death

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventional angioplasty and Angioplasty with drug-eluting balloon in people with Vascular Access Complication and Restenosis, Vascular Graft, run by Helsinki University Central Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

TLR (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT03036241, 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 2017.
