FDA-Approved dialysis device under Long-Term watch
NCT ID NCT07146854
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tracks 150 adults with end-stage kidney disease who use the EndoForce System to connect a dialysis graft to a vein. The device is already FDA-approved, so this is not an experiment—it's a check on long-term safety and how well it works over time. Researchers will monitor for complications like infections or blockages and measure how long the graft stays usable for dialysis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EndoForce System (device for connecting hemodialysis graft to vein)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that the EndoForce System is a safe and reliable option for hemodialysis access in kidney failure patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a test of a new treatment. The device is already approved, so no major breakthroughs are expected. Risks include device-related complications like infection or bleeding.
