How this study is set up

The points below are drawn from the public registry record for this study. Each one cites the field or sentence it came from. A dash (—) means the record does not state something — not that it is missing or wrong. Many well-run studies, especially small ones, leave some of these blank.

Trial stature

Three independent measures of this study, described from its registry record — not a recommendation about it. A rigorous study by investigators nobody has heard of is better evidence than a weak study led by a famous one. How these are scored.

Methodological rigourSTRONG

A strong methodological design for a study of this type, judged from its ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Investigator standingUNKNOWN

We have no verifiable track record for the investigator named on this trial. That is common for early-career investigators and for records held outside ClinicalTrials.gov — it is not a negative signal.

How this score is built
  • Investigator standing0/100

    No investigator recorded in the registry for this trial

These describe the registry record only, and today we hold ClinicalTrials.gov data. Absent fields lower a score, and absence often reflects registration practice rather than study quality. A high-stature trial is not necessarily safer or a better choice for you — enrolling in a large definitive trial can mean a higher chance of receiving placebo, while a small early-phase study may be the only route to a new therapy.

Grupos e intervenciones

  • Diagnostic ArmEXPERIMENTAL

    All subjects will have the EchoMark implanted. Subjects will be assessed every 2 weeks (+/- 1 week) (but no more frequently than weekly) with the EchoSure system until fistula maturation occurs and/or permanent access use is achieved.

  • Standard of CareACTIVE_COMPARATOR

    Subjects will be evaluated per KDOQI guidelines (with physical examination at approximately 2 weeks (+/- 1 week) and between 4 and 6 weeks (+/- 1 week)). If evaluation yields abnormal findings, subjects will receive a Duplex ultrasound assessment (DUS). All SOC Arm subjects will be followed per the institution's standard of care until fistula maturation occurs and/or permanent access use is achieved but no more frequently than once per month.

Intervenciones

  • Dispositivo EchoMark/EchoSure

    Subjects assigned to the Diagnostic Arm will have the EchoMark implanted at the time of AVF creation. The subject will return every 2 weeks for a follow-up assessment to include an EchoSure scan until fistula maturation and/or permanent access use is achieved. The EchoSure scans are to be reviewed by the investigator(s) or delegated study staff and aid in the determination when a further assessment, including a physical exam, is required to determine cannulation clearance or if an intervention(s) may be required to prevent failure of fistula maturation. All physical exams will include assessing the fistula for bruit and thrill. The subject's medical history will be reviewed at each visit and will include all interventions, cannulation attempts, and adverse event reporting.

  • Procedimiento Standard of Care

    Subjects are assessed using standard of care per KDOQI guidelines, which includes a physical exam at the 2-week follow-up visit and at the 4-6-week follow-up visit. All follow-up visits will include an assessment of adverse events and medical history review to include all interventions, cannulation attempts, and laboratory results. If evaluation yields an abnormal finding, subjects will undergo a Duplex ultrasound assessment and treatment under the institution's standard of care. All SOC Arm subjects will be followed per the institution's standard of care until fistula maturation occurs and/or permanent access use is achieved but no more frequently than once per month.
