First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This trial tests a new type of vascular graft, called STARgraft, for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. The graft is placed in the arm to create a reliable access point for dialysis. The study compares STARgraft to a standard graft to see if it works better and causes fewer problems. About 75 adults will take part.

Active substance
STARgraft (10401) vascular graft
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a more reliable and longer-lasting option for hemodialysis access, reducing the need for repeat procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with only 75 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The graft could still fail or cause complications like clotting or infection.
