Application of Human Type I Pancreatic Elastase (PRT-201) to the venous Anastomosis of Arteriovenous Grafts in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Purpose To explore the safety and efficacy of PRT-201 applied to the outflow vein of a newly created arteriovenous graft (AVG). Methods Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose escalation study of PRT-201 (0.01 to 9 mg) applied to the graft-vein anastomosis and adjacent outflow vein...

Summary:Purpose To explore the safety and efficacy of PRT-201 applied to the outflow vein of a newly created arteriovenous graft (AVG). Methods Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose escalation study of PRT-201 (0.01 to 9 mg) applied to the graft-vein anastomosis and adjacent outflow vein immediately after AVG placement. The primary outcome measure was safety. The efficacy measures were intraoperative increases in outflow vein diameter and blood flow rate, primary unassisted patency, and secondary patency by dose groups (placebo, low, medium, high and All PRT-201). Results A total of 89 patients were treated (28 placebo and 61 PRT-201). There were no significant differences in the proportion of placebo and PRT-201 patients reporting adverse events. Intraoperative outflow vein diameter increased 5% (p=0.14) in the placebo group compared with 13% (p=0.01), 15% (p=0.07) and 12% (p
