Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. To determine if vorapaxar safely improves arteriovenous (AV) fistula functional maturation when administered during the maturation process compared with placebo.
2. To determine if vorapaxar safely improves AV fistula patency, allowing for secondary procedures to aid in fistula maturation compared with placebo.
3. To determine if vorapaxar safely facilitates successful cannulation of AV fistulas for hemodialysis compared with placebo.
This is a randomized placebo-controlled double-blind pilot trial. Study procedures will be conducted at Stanford University Medical Center, and standard-of-care (SOC) procedures will be conducted at Stanford and it's affiliated hospitals (Veteran's Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System and the Stanford Vascular Surgery Clinic at Valley Medical Center). The investigators expect to enroll 128 patients. Patients will be assigned to treatment groups with a 1:1 randomization in blocks of 4 at the conclusion of the AV fistula creation. Patients will be stratified based on fistula location (lower arm versus upper arm).

Participation in this study will not affect standard care of patients with AV fistulae receiving hemodialysis. The only additional treatment is administration of the study drug or placebo and additional monitoring, including one additional ultrasound, for 6 months.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Vorapaxar intervention
This arm will receive the study drug: Vorapaxar sulfate.
The investigators expect to enroll 128 patients. Patients will be assigned to treatment groups with a 1:1 randomization in blocks of 4 at the conclusion of the AV fistula creation. Patients will be stratified based on fistula location (lower arm versus upper arm).
Vorapaxar sulfate
The study drug (12-week supply of study drug) will be dispensed to enrolled patients on the first day following surgery.
Placebo intervention
This arm will receive the matching placebo.
The investigators expect to enroll 128 patients. Patients will be assigned to treatment groups with a 1:1 randomization in blocks of 4 at the conclusion of the AV fistula creation. Patients will be stratified based on fistula location (lower arm versus upper arm).
Placebo
The placebo will match the study drug, vorapaxar sulfate, in appearance. A 12-week supply will be dispensed to enrolled patients on the first day following surgery.
