Lab-Made blood vessel could free dialysis patients from catheters
NCT ID NCT05908084
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests a lab-grown blood vessel (ATEV) against the standard surgically created fistula in 121 women with end-stage kidney disease who need dialysis. The goal is to see if the ATEV allows more days without a catheter and reduces infections over 12 months. If successful, it could offer a safer, more convenient option for dialysis access.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Acellular Tissue Engineered Vessel (ATEV) – a lab-grown blood vessel made from human cells that are removed, leaving a collagen tube
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give women on dialysis a better option for blood access, reducing time with catheters and lowering infection risk.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small Phase 3 trial (121 women). The ATEV may not perform better than the standard fistula, and there are risks of clotting, infection, or vessel failure.
