Summary:

      This research study is designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of an experimental
      drug called vonapanitase (PRT-201) in patients both receiving or expecting to receive
      hemodialysis who have chronic kidney disease and who are undergoing surgery to create a new
      access point to their bloodstream for hemodialysis. Vonapanitase is a protein that has been
      shown in previous research studies to help keep vessels patent when applied to the outside
      surface of the blood vessels (arteries and veins) in patients who undergo surgery to create
      an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The purpose of this study is to determine whether
      vonapanitase when applied to a limited segment of your blood vessel (about 2 inches)
      immediately after surgery is safe and improves the patency of your AVF.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Age of at least 18 years.

          2. Life expectancy of at least 6 months.

          3. Diagnosis of CKD.

          4. Planned creation of a new radiocephalic AVF (revision of an existing AVF is not
             eligible).

          5. Ability to understand and comply with the requirements of the entire study and to
             communicate with the study team.

          6. Written informed consent using a document that has been approved by the Institutional
             Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC).

          7. If female and of childbearing potential (premenopausal and not surgically sterile)
             must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening visit and be willing to use
             contraception from the time of the screening visit to 2 weeks following study drug
             administration. Acceptable methods of birth control include abstinence, barrier
             methods, hormones, or intra-uterine device.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Malignancy or treatment for malignancy within the previous 12 months with the
             exception of the following cancers if they have been resected: localized basal cell or
             squamous cell skin cancer, or any cancer in situ.

          2. Presence of any significant medical condition that might significantly confound the
             collection of safety and efficacy data in this study.

          3. Previous treatment with vonapanitase (PRT-201).

          4. Treatment with any investigational drug within the previous 30 days or investigational
             antibody therapy within the previous 90 days prior to signing informed consent.
