Xeltis poised for commercialization following excellent clinical data from aXess EU pivotal multicentre trial
The results from the trial showed that aXess delivered major improvements on all key clinical metrics compared to the standard of care. aXess demonstrated superior sustained patency across both primary and secondary outcomes*, compared to other arteriovenous grafts (AVG), while requiring fewer interventions, also showing a lower re-intervention rate and high infection resistance compared to fistulas. Many of the patients in the trial had a history of failed AVG's or fistulas for dialysis or had previously relied on Central Venous Catheter's (CVC), which further underscores the significance of the results, despite the patients' serious health challenges.

Developed through Xeltis' proprietary Endogenous Tissue Restoration (ETR) platform technology, which utilises Nobel-prize winning breakthroughs in polymer technology, aXess is gradually replaced over time by patients' own living tissue, dissolving completely over the course of the process.
With only one cannulation-infection related (partial) explant across the full 120 patient population, aXess is also highly infection resistant, and can deliver near-immediate cannulation, with a below 0.02% rate of bleeding complications observed across over 15,000 dialysis sessions. With these results, aXess possesses an unprecedented safety and efficacy profile, and has proved its superiority on all fronts compared to the current standard of care.
A US pivotal trial is also taking place for aXess, with patient recruitment well underway and interim results expected in 2026.
*Exploratory analysis — single-arm study evaluated against Objective Performance Criteria; the study was not designed or powered to demonstrate statistical superiority
Xeltis is a medtech company developing transformative implants that enable the natural creation of living and long-lasting vessels. Xeltis seeks to address the limitations of currently available options for the millions of people requiring hemodialysis access grafts or cardiovascular replacements every year. The Company's proprietary endogenous tissue restoration (ETR) platform utilizes an advanced polymer implant which regenerates the patient's own tissue before gradually being absorbed and leaving new, living, and long-lasting vessels in place. Xeltis' most advanced product currently under clinical development is aXess , an implantable blood vessel for hemodialysis vascular access. Xeltis' groundbreaking technology has high potential to be applied to other major vascular and cardiovascular diseases.
Xeltis is based in The Netherlands and the USA . Its investors include DaVita Venture Group, EQT Life Sciences, Kurma Partners, VI Partners, Ysios Capital, Grand Pharma Group, the European Innovation Council and Invest-NL, in addition to other public and private investors.
