Amplifi Vascular Hits Three Milestones: FDA IDE Approval, Successful FIH Study, and $6.9M Series A
Amplifi Vascular, developer of the first-of-its-kind Vein Dilation System for hemodialysis access, announced three major developments:
Positive First-in-Human (FIH) Study Results
$6.9 Million Series A Financing Close
FDA Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Approval
First-in-Human Study Highlights
The FIH study enrolled 19 patients to pre-dilate veins before arteriovenous fistula (AVF) surgery. Key outcomes:
Rapid post-procedure vein enlargement
Successful fistula creation
Physiological maturation: ≥5mm diameter and ≥500ml/min flow
Early functional use of AVFs
Safety: No significant device-related adverse events
“Our study not only met its primary objectives but also demonstrated rapid vein enlargement that facilitated successful fistula creation and early use.”
Sean Morris, President & CEO, Amplifi Vascular.
FDA IDE Approval & Next Steps
With FDA IDE approval, Amplifi can initiate AMPLIFI-1, a U.S. clinical investigation evaluating:
Safety and performance
Time to functional maturation compared with standard care
“Early outcomes suggest that proactive vein dilation prior to AVF surgery can significantly improve the likelihood of achieving a usable fistula sooner—an outcome that matters greatly to our dialysis patients.”
Dr. Surendra Shenoy, Washington University, St. Louis School of Medicine.
