Multicenter, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Study of Vonapanitase (PRT- 201) Administered Immediately After Radiocephalic Arteriovenous Fistula Creation in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

Description

Brief Summary
This research study is designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of an experimental drug called vonapanitase (PRT-201) in patients both receiving or expecting to receive hemodialysis who have chronic kidney disease and who are undergoing surgery to create a new access point to their bloodstream for hemodialysis. Vonapanitase is a protein that has been shown in previous research studies to help keep vessels patent when applied to the outside surface of the blood vessels (arteries and veins) in patients who undergo surgery to create an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The purpose of this study is to determine whether vonapanitase when applied to a limited segment of your blood vessel (about 2 inches) immediately after surgery is safe and improves the patency of your AVF.


Phase

Phase 3 - a treatment has shown activity against a particular disease, where it is either added to existing treatment or compared to the standard treatment.

Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

  • Age of at least 18 years.
  • Life expectancy of at least 6 months.

  • Malignancy or treatment for malignancy within the previous 12 months with the exception of the following cancers if they have been resected: localized basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or any cancer in situ.
  • Presence of any significant medical condition that might significantly confound the collection of safety and efficacy data in this study.
  • Previous treatment with vonapanitase (PRT-201).
  • Treatment with any investigational drug within the previous 30 days or investigational antibody therapy within the previous 90 days prior to signing informed consent.
