Summary
The AMPLIFI-1 Study is a prospective, multicenter pivotal clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Amplifi™ Vein Dilation System in patients requiring distal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation for hemodialysis. The study has two cohorts: a randomized controlled (RC) cohort of patients with suitable cephalic veins (≥2.5 mm) randomized 2:1 to Amplifi treatment plus AVF creation versus standard AVF creation alone, and a non-randomized small vein cohort (NRC) of patients with borderline veins (1.7 to \<2.5 mm) treated with Amplifi therapy followed by AVF creation.
Detailed Description
AMPLIFI-1 is a staged, multicenter clinical investigation evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the Amplifi™ Vein Dilation System in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing distal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. The system provides controlled, continuous extracorporeal blood flow to the cephalic vein over 24 to 72 hours, inducing flow-mediated dilation prior to surgery. The study includes two cohorts based on baseline cephalic vein diameter: Randomized Controlled (RC) Cohort: Subjects with vein diameter ≥2.5 mm are randomized 2:1 to receive either Amplifi therapy followed by AVF creation or AVF creation alone. This cohort supports the primary effectiveness endpoint and provides the control group reference. Non-Randomized Cohort (NRC): Subjects with borderline cephalic veins (1.7 mm to \<2.5 mm) are treated with Amplifi therapy followed by AVF creation. Effectiveness is evaluated against a performance goal informed by the RC control group and external benchmarks. The primary endpoint is physiologic AVF maturation at 2 weeks post-creation, defined as brachial artery flow ≥500 mL/min and outflow vein diameter ≥5 mm on duplex ultrasound. Secondary endpoints include functional maturation, AVF patency, and early safety events. The study uses a staged approach beginning with a 5-subject initial safety cohort. All procedures follow a standardized AVF surgical and imaging protocol. The trial includes centralized core lab review of imaging and adverse event adjudication. Data from both cohorts will be analyzed separately and pooled to support a proposed indication spanning the studied vein size range.

Interventions
The Amplifi System is a temporary extracorporeal blood pump designed to deliver controlled flow through a peripheral vein for 24-72 hours prior to AVF creation.
