Fistula clinical trials at University of California Health
8 in progress, 2 open to eligible people
The Arteriovenous Vascular (AV) ACCESS Trial
open to eligible people ages 60 years and up
This study is to prospectively compare the effectiveness and safety of the two types of arteriovenous access placement (fistula or graft) in older adults with end stage kidney disease and multiple chronic conditions
at UCLA
Transanastomotic Tube for Proximal Esophageal Atresia With Distal Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair
open to eligible people ages up to 6 months
This trial will compare the effectiveness of two common surgical practices for Type C esophageal atresia repair: esophageal atresia (EA) with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Infants with EA/TEF requiring surgical intervention will be recruited. Subjects will be randomized to either repair with or without transanstomotic tube (TT) during esophageal anastomosis creation. Primary outcome is symptomatic anastomotic stricture development requiring dilation within 12 months.

A Comparison Study of the Experimental Human Acellular Vessel For Dialysis in End-Stage Renal Disease
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The main purpose of this study is to compare the Human Acellular Vessel (HAV) with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) when used for hemodialysis access

A Study Testing the Use of a Perivascular Sirolimus Formulation (Sirogen) in ESRD Patients Undergoing AV Fistula Surgery
Sorry, not currently recruiting here
The primary study objective is to evaluate the benefit of the Sirolimus eluting Collagen implant (SeCI; Sirogen), a single dose prophylactic treatment delivered intraoperatively at the time of surgical creation of an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis vascular access.

Comparing Surgical and Endovascular Arteriovenous Fistula Creation
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who use hemodialysis to filter their blood require vascular access for the dialysis machine; the most common type of vascular access is called an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The AVF is a direct connect between an artery and vein. Until recently, AVFs were only created through surgery that requires general anesthesia and opening up the skin. Now there are 2 FDA-approved devices designed to create AVFs using endovascular techniques (endoAVF), which means a device that goes through the skin instead of opening the skin up. Also patients are not required to be under general anesthesia, they can receive local anesthesia instead. Due to the relatively new approval of these devices, there is not a randomized study to compare the results of endoAVF versus surgAVF. This study is a pilot study for an eventually larger scale study to compare the results of endoAVF versus surgAVF. The study aims to determine what the proportion of patients seeking hemodialysis access could qualify for receiving either an endoAVF , surgAVF, or both. Patients who are screened for hemodialysis access must undergo a duplex ultrasound of the blood vessels in the arm to confirm correct sizing. If participants qualify for both procedures they will be randomized to either endoAVF or surgAVF and will track the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of each procedure. Our pilot study hopes to enroll 90 participants. Those outcomes will inform a larger scale study. If the potential participant chooses to abstain from participation in the randomized trial, preferring to decide the method of AVF creation, we will offer to them a chance to join an endoAVF/surgAVF registry that will track the clinical outcomes of the procedure via medical record monitoring.

Long-term Follow-up Study With Darvadstrocel in the Treatment of Complex Perianal Fistula
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The main aim is to follow-up on long term side effect and symptom improvement of Darvadstrocel in the treatment of complex perianal fistula in adults. Participants will not receive any drug in this study.
at UCSF
Outcome Analysis of POEM and Endoluminal Therapies
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
Evaluation of current and newly developed endoluminal therapies in the management of Upper and Lower GI conditions.
at UC Davis
Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Cx601, Adult Allogeneic Expanded Adipose-derived Stem Cells (eASC) for the Treatment of Complex Perianal Fistula(s) in Participants With Crohn's Disease (CD)
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combined remission of complex perianal fistulas, defined as the clinical assessment at Week 24 of closure of all treated external openings that were draining at baseline despite gentle finger compression, and absence of collections greater than (>) 2 centimeter (cm) (in at least 2 dimensions) confirmed by blinded central magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment at Week 24.
