Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, single-blind, controlled, study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of the Sirolimus-eluting Collagen Implant (SeCI) in subjects who are on hemodialysis and are undergoing surgical creation of an AV fistula in comparison to subjects who do not receive the implant. Subjects of either gender, who are at least 65 years of age, undergoing hemodialysis, and require a new single stage radiocephalic end to side fistula will be eligible to participate in this study. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria and undergo successful AV fistula creation will be eligible for enrollment. The study plans to enroll approximately 120 subjects, randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Enrolled subjects will be followed for a period of one year from the time of their index surgical procedure.
