What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cardiac Function (evaluated by MRI)

    MRI Indices of Cardiac Function

    • Myocardial mass and myocardial fibrosis
    • Atrial and ventricular ejection function
    • Myocardial perfusion
    • Arterial distensibility

    Measured: Baseline and 6 Months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Renal Function (evaluated by MRI)

    MRI Indices of Renal Function:

    • Renal blood flow
    • Renal perfusion
    • Urinary protein

    Measured: Baseline, 6 Months and 24 Months

  2. Cardiac Function

    MRI Indices of Cardiac Function

    • Myocardial mass and myocardial fibrosis
    • Atrial and ventricular ejection function
    • Myocardial perfusion
    • Arterial distensibility

    Measured: Baseline and 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Renal Denervation (EnligHTN™) Renal artery ablation with the EnligHTN™ Renal Denervation System. in people with Uncontrolled Hypertension, run by University of Adelaide at 1 site in Australia.

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 3 inclusion and 16 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 16 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

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 Stephen G Worthley, Prof (stephen.worthley@adelaide.edu.au), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cardiac Function (evaluated by MRI) (time frame: Baseline and 6 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02164435, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Jun 2014.
