The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the EchoMark/EchoSure System for AVF (arteriovenous fistula) for assessing AV fistula maturation when used under a protocol of biweekly use as compared to the standard of care follow-up. Target subject population are subjects presenting with Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD5) or End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) undergoing upper arm autologous arteriovenous fistula creation for hemodialysis access who are on dialysis or will imminently require dialysis (GFR <10).
This is a study to test the safety of ALN-6400 which is considered to be "an investigational drug", meaning it is not currently approved by regulatory authorities, including the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the treatment of any disease and find out what effects, if any, it has on people with Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) and Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB). ALN-6400 works by lowering protein in the blood breakdown blood clots and reduce bleeding in women ages 16-45. This study is a 24 week study with an optional extension period of 84 weeks.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a
physician-modified endograft (tubular medical device used to reinforce weakened or damaged blood vessels) for repairing serious diseases of the aorta (largest artery in the human body, responsible for blood from the heart to the rest of the body). This device is considered investigational, and this research study received an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the FDA.
To evaluate the performance of the Merit Medical WRAPSODY® Cell Impermeable Endoprosthesis (WRAPSODY device). The WRAPSODY device is used to treat a blocked or narrowed vein you have in your dialysis access circuit that affects your blood flow during dialysis (treatment that removes waste and excess fluid from your blood).
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of a new investigational Sirolimus coated balloon device in the treatment of insufficient blood flow of legs (peripheral arterial disease, PAD).
This is a prospective, multi-center, double-arm, randomized, single-blind, evaluator blinded clinical trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the SelfWrap for prophylactic treatment intended to improve clinical outcomes for CKD patients referred for vascular access creation surgery.
Assess the safety and effectiveness of the ASG device in
the treatment of lesions involving the ascending aorta and
aortic arch.
Patients with large abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) (>5.5cm) are recommended to have surgery, but there is no therapy for small AAA (3-5cm). The purpose of this study is to collect ultrasound images and blood from patients with normal abdominal aorta as well as from patients with small AAA. Study participants include patients scheduled for an aortc ultrasound aorta and may fall into one of these categories. By analyzing the aortic wall ultrasound images and the blood levels of particular proteins, we hope to identify a target for drug therapy to stop AAA growth. Voluntary participation in this study does not change the original intent of the ultrasound and does not change patient treatment. The pictures gathered here are in addition to the standard ultrasound and cause no additional risk. Participation would include the standard aorta ultrasound, specific extra pictures (less than 5 minutes to collect), and collection of a blood sample. If a participant's aorta is within normal limits, no additional ultrasound visits or study visits will be indicated. If the participant has a small AAA, standard of care would be to return once per year for repeat ultrasound. Ongoing participation in the study will be to have the extra ultrasound images captured and repeat blood sampling, for a total of 3 years.
