What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early study tests a new ultra-high-pressure balloon designed to widen narrowed blood vessels in people on dialysis. About 35 participants will receive the balloon treatment to see if it safely restores blood flow and improves dialysis access. The goal is to fix the narrowing without causing serious side effects within the first month.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients able to understand the purpose of the study, voluntarily agree to participate and signed Informed Consent form * Patients with impaired haemodialysis access due to narrowed lesions, as indicated by contrast or ultrasound or clinical diagnosis. * Indications for percutaneous endovascular therapy with diameter stenosis \>50% and fistula's hemodynamic showing abnormalities (thrombosis in the AVF, high venous pressure, re-circulation, abnormal physical examination, decrease in dialysis efficiency, decrease in blood flow through the vascular access) * Target lesion is a resistant de novo or restenotic lesion * The target lesion is located in the reflux vein from the anastomotic site of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) to the distal end of the subclavian vein (excluding the anastomotic site of AVF); if there are no target lesions, they should be treated with standard angioplasty balloon before treating the target lesion. Exclusion Criteria: * Female of childbearing potential, unless a recent pregnancy test is negative, who possibly plan to become pregnant any time after enrolment into this study; * Patients who are actively participating in another drug or device investigational study, who have not completed the primary endpoint follow-up period; * Patients who have undergone major surgical procedures (such as open chest surgery, head surgery) within 30 days before being enrolled in the study; * Patients who plan to undergo major surgical procedures (such as open chest surgery, head surgery) within 30 days after being enrolled in the study; * Immature AVF (not used for dialysis; due to insufficient inner diameter, inability to ensure successful puncture, and inadequate blood flow, this access has not been used for successful dialysis); * AVF has been implanted with a stent.
