Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Haemodialysis (HD) is a life-saving and life-sustaining treatment. Effective HD requires a reliable, long-term and safe vascular access (approach into the blood stream). Native AV fistulae (AVFs) are the preferred vascular access for their low complication rates and longevity. However, AVFs have high early failure rates, but once matured they have a relatively longer operational life and a lower complication rate, especially from infections, when compared to prosthetic grafts (AVGs) and dialysis catheters. This study aims to understand the natural history of AVF maturation and identify factors influencing outcomes.

Who can participate?
Patients in need of upper limb AVF for haemodialysis

What does the study involve?
The patient attends three extra scans. Blood samples are taken and the patient is followed up over a monthly basis for a year. They may have two additional visits to the hospital.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants receive two additional scans and are closely monitored. Participants may need to have extra needles inserted for research blood tests, although every effort will be made to take them at the scheduled blood tests, thus further reducing the small risks associated with taking blood from the veins.

Where is the study run from?
Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UK)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
October 2011 to March 2022

Who is funding the study?
Bioconnect Systems Inc. (USA)

Ethics approval(s)NRES Committee North West –Preston, 17/02/2011, ref. 11/H1016/3
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Renal disorders; Subtopic: Renal disorders; Disease: All Renal disorders
InterventionExtra bloods at baseline: Patients will have an extra blood test at this point for haematological/biochemical parameters and DNA/stem cell sampling and analysis. Extra blood tests will be optional and will not be mandatory for all participating centres. Perioperatively - blood tests, patients will undergo further blood tests peri-operatively and these will be linked to their peri-operative clinically indicated blood tests; blood tests will be optional and are not mandatory for study inclusion. US scan - follow-up, Doppler ultrasound scan will be used to assess maturation.

It is anticipated that most patients will have two extra visits with tests during their visits (routine postoperative visit and scan at 6 weeks is standard clinical practice). For the minority of patients who have not used their fistula by 6 months, we will perform the final study evaluation with US at 6 months.
