About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether renal denervation is safe and effective in the treatment of Chinese patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Prevalence of hypertension is increasing in China.While actually,the controlled rate of hypertension is relatively low,though numerous safe and effective pharmacological therapies are used in clinical practice.Studies confirmed that renal sympathetic nerves contributed to development and perpetuation of hypertension. Previous study has stated that renal denervation was effective and safe in patients with resistant hypertension, while little data is known in Chinese patients. We hypothesis that renal denervation is effective and safe in treatment of Chinese patients with uncontrolled hypertension. This trial plan to recruit 100 patients(Ablation group VS Control group = 1:1) with a follow up duration of 3 years.Patients in ablation group will receive percutaneous renal denervation combined with necessary antihypertension drugs and patients in control group will receive appropriate antihypertension drugs. We aim to explore the long term safety and validity of renal denervation in Chinese patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing THERMOCOOL® Catheter in people with Hypertension, run by The Second People's Hospital of Chengdu.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jian Xiong Liu, MD (862886621522-5205, steven.ljx@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Blood Pressure Reduction (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jul 2011.
