NCT05908084

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the number of catheter-free days (CFD) and the rate and severity of any dialysis access-related infections between the ATEV and AVF groups over 12 months in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) needing hemodialysis (HD). Participants will be stratified by location of the vascular access (forearm versus upper arm) and by type of AVF creation procedure planned by the surgeon at randomization (1-stage AVF versus 2-stage AVF). The comparator is an upper extremity arterio-venous fistula (AVF) for HD access surgically created per the institution's Standard of Care (SoC).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale(Gender-based eligibility)
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients who plan to undergo HD at a dialysis unit of a participating dialysis provider for at least 12 months after SA creation.
  • Patients aged ≥ 18 years at Screening.
  • Suitable anatomy for creation of a forearm or upper arm AVF and for implantation of straight, curved, or looped ATEV in either the forearm or upper arm.
  • NOTE: Suitable anatomy will be determined by both physical examination and ultrasound imaging or vessel imaging modality in addition to consideration of all vascular sites available, prior access failure, future access sites and possibilities to preserve patients' future alternate accesses. Vessel mapping is the preferred method to assess the vascular anatomy, and will evaluate the following attributes during Screening:
  • Vein diameter
  • Arterial diameter
  • Presence of arterial calcification
  • Depth of the intended fistula conduit from the surface of the skin
  • Central vein patency
  • Previous vascular access location The ultimate decision of anatomic suitability belongs to the surgeon and/or the investigator.
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 7 g/dL and platelet count ≥ 100,000 /mm3
  • Patients must either:
  • Be of non-childbearing potential, which is defined as post-menopausal (at least 1 year without menses prior to Screening) or documented surgically sterile (i.e., total hysterectomy or tubal ligation, or complete bilateral oophorectomy) at least 1 month prior to Screening.
  • Or, if of childbearing potential:
  • Must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening, and
  • +6 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Male sex at birth.
  • Planned AVF creation by means other than suture or vascular anastomotic clips (e.g., endovascular surgery or other anastomotic creation devices). Venous outflow from study access cannot be located more distally than the venous outflow of any previous failed access in that extremity.
  • Known serious allergy or intolerance to aspirin and alternative antiplatelet therapy.
  • Pregnancy, or women intending to become pregnant during the course of the trial.
  • Treatment with any investigational drug or device within 60 days or 5 half-lives after taking the last dose (whichever is longer) prior to study entry (Day 1) or ongoing participation in a clinical trial of an investigational product.
  • Documented hyper-coagulable state, as defined as either:
  • Documented hyper-coagulable state, as defined as either: A biochemical diagnosis (e.g., Factor V Leiden, Protein C deficiency, etc.) - OR -
  • A clinical history of thrombophilia as diagnosed by 2 or more spontaneous intravascular thrombotic events (e.g., deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), etc.) within the previous 5 years.
  • Spontaneous or unexplained bleeding diathesis clinically documented within the last 5 years or a biochemical diagnosis (e.g., von Willebrand's disease, etc.).
  • Cancer actively being treated with a cytotoxic agent.
  • Planned or anticipated renal transplant within 6 months after randomization.
  • Any other condition that in the judgment of the investigator would preclude adequate evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the SA.
  • Previous exposure to ATEV.
  • Any of the following within 8 weeks prior to screening: acute coronary syndrome, stroke or congestive heart failure NYHA Stage IV
  • Employees of Humacyte and employees or relatives of an investigator.

Masking Details
The study team at each site, including the surgeon performing the AVF creation or ATEV implantation, the operating room staff, the dispensing pharmacist, and the Principal Investigator will be unblinded to treatment allocation. Members of the Data Monitoring Committee and the Clinical Evaluation Committee, as well as members of the CRO staff may be unblinded to treatment assignment to perform their functions. All Sponsor staff, with exception of Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and Head of Biometrics will be unblinded to treatment allocation. Humacyte CMO and Head of Biometrics will be blinded to treatment allocation until the time of the prespecified interim analysis, approximately 12 months after the 80th participant is randomized.
