About this study

Official title: Argyle Fistula Cannula Pre-market, Prospective, Single Arm, Non-randomized, Interventional Study

The purpose of the investigation is to confirm the safety and performance of the Argyle™ Safety Fistula Cannula with Anti-reflux Valve for hemodialysis treatment.

Read the detailed description

The study will be performed at up to 5 US hemodialysis clinics.

Qualified patients who choose to participate and sign informed consent will be enrolled in the study. The investigational sites chosen to participate in this study will be trained on the insertion procedure using plastic fistula cannulas according to established curriculum. A combination of didactic training followed by insertion using a cannulation arm will be conducted. Cannulation on consented subjects will begin after the inserter demonstrates proficiency on the cannulation arm. Proficiency definitions are outlined in the protocol. After two supervised (by Medtronic and/or dedicated, trained super user) successful cannulations on consented subjects, the clinician will be permitted to cannulate without supervision.

Data supporting the primary, secondary, and exploratory objectives will be captured following thirty-six (36) hemodialysis sessions for each enrolled subject.

Cannulations will be performed by a minimum of five different clinicians at up to 5 dialysis clinic sites.

The investigational sites chosen to participate in this study will be trained on the insertion procedure using plastic fistula cannulas for a pre-determined period and according to established curriculum. A combination of didactic training followed by insertion using a cannulation arm will be conducted. After two supervised (by Medtronic and/or dedicated, trained super user) successful cannulations on consented subjects, the clinician will be permitted to cannulate without supervision and the data collection for the primary and secondary objectives will begin. Hemodialysis sessions will be performed, according to the investigator's prescription, throughout the duration of the study. Dialysis adequacy will be verified at baseline and during the mid-week session on weeks 1, 3, 6 and 12. Other than the blood sampling, there are no study-specific procedures, other than cannulation with the Argyle™ Safety Fistula Cannula with Anti-Reflux Valve, that will be required.

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful Hemodialysis Sessions

    The primary objective is the percentage of successful hemodialysis sessions using the Argyle™ Safety Fistula Cannula with Anti-reflux Valve.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Successful Cannulations

    Report the percentage of successful cannulations to achieve successful cannulation in each subject

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Cannulation Locations with securement details

    Characterize cannulation locations and details on the securement of the cannulas after taping during the hemodialysis session by evaluating the staff-reported insertion sites captured on the Dialysis Session case report form

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Access-related complications requiring procedural intervention

    Quantify the number of subjects who had a procedure to correct access-related complications

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Compare prescribed blood flow rates

    Compare prescribed blood flow rates with plastic fistula cannula to average blood flow achieved

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  5. Dialysis adequacy

    Compare baseline dialysis adequacy (e.g., spKt/V and urea reduction ratio (URR) to measure collected at 1, 3, 6 and 12 weeks). The average spKt/V and URR will be compared to measurements reported at basline using steel needles. A repeated measures approach will be utilized to compare baseline to follow-up dialysis adequacy measurements.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  6. Cannulator Satisfaction Questionnaire

    Assess inserter satisfaction (survey), i.e., ability to access deep fistulas, insertion locations, securement technique, ability to determine proper placement without the usual pulsing flashback seen with traditional needles. Mean satisfaction score (and associated 95% confidence intervals) prior to first use and following final cannulation will be reported.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  7. Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire

    Characterize subject satisfaction using standardized survey to assess insertion pain

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  8. Impact of delay between training and use of device

    Evaluate any impact of delay between training and use of the subject devices, or time elapsed between cases for each clinician and successful and unsuccessful cannulations. The proportion of successful and unsuccessful cannulations will be predicted with clinician and time between training and cannulation attempt using logistic regression. Statistical significance of the covariate "time between training and cannulation attempt" will be reported.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Argyle Safety Fistula Cannula with Anti-Reflux Valve in people with End Stage Renal Failure on Dialysis, run by Mozarc Medical US LLC at 3 sites in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 17 Mar 2026. 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 United States. 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?

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?

Successful Hemodialysis Sessions (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 17 Mar 2026.
