Kidney dialysis drug study pulled before it started

NCT ID NCT02695641

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study was designed to see how a low dose of bevacizumab (Avastin) behaves in the body and whether it safely lowers a certain protein (VEGF-A) in people with kidney failure on dialysis. The goal was to gather information for a future trial on preventing dialysis access failure. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data were collected.

bevacizumab (Avastin)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help design a future trial to prevent dialysis access failure.

What could go wrong

The study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results exist. Even if it had run, it was a tiny early-phase trial focused on drug levels, not on patient outcomes.
