About this study

Official title: Effects of Catheter Based Renal Sympathetic Denervation on Resistant Hypertension in End Stage Renal Disease in Korea

  1. Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor and numerous treatment strategies have been developed to treat hypertension properly and reduce cardiovascular risk.
  2. However, there is a subgroup of hypertension which are resistant to treatment.
  3. Resistant hypertension is associated to sympathetic hyperactivity
  4. Renal sympathetic nerve is known to be associated with systemic sympathetic activity
  5. According to research of recent years, catheter based renal sympathetic denervation is a safe and effective treatment modality to treat resistant hypertension C. Resistant hypertension is observed in end stage renal disease (ESRD) frequently.
  6. Sympathetic hyperactivity is observed in ESRD patients E. Catheter based renal sympathetic denervation is expected to improve resistant hypertension in ESRD patients
  7. The aim the present study is to evaluate the effects and safety of catheter based renal sympathetic denervation on resistant hypertension in ESRD

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Renal sympathetic denervationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Catheter based based renal sympathetic denervation, Symplicity catheter system by Medtronic

    In the experimental arm, Intervention is renal sympathetic denervation using Symplicity® system (Medtronic Ardian Inc, Mountain View, CA, USA) and antihypertensive medications previously prescribed

    1. After femoral puncture guiding catheter is engaged in renal artery
    2. Symplicity radiofrequency ablation catheter is inserted into renal artery and by circular sequence, from distal to proximal portion, ablation energy is applied to the wall of renal artery
    3. 4-5 ablations are applied in each renal artery.

    In the sham comparator, intervention is renal angiogram and continue antihypertensive medications previuosly decribed

Medical therapySham comparatorrenal angiogram plus antihypertensive medications (doses and types of medication are maintained as previously prescribed)

What is being measured

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

  1. The change of office systolic blood pressure after renal denervation

    Measured: 6 month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change of office diastolic blood pressure

    Measured: 6 month

  2. change in ambulatory blood pressure monitroing(ABPM): mean systolic blood pressure(SBP)/diastolic blood pressure(DBP), mean heart rate(HR), BP variability

    Measured: 6 month

  3. Change in plasma norepinephrine

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Change in pulse wave velocity

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Renal sympathetic denervation in people with Hypertension, run by Seoul St. Mary's Hospital at 4 sites in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 18 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 26 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Kiyuk Chang, MD, PhD (+822-2258-1139, kiyuk@catholic.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change of office systolic blood pressure after renal denervation (time frame: 6 month). 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 NCT02346045, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 26 Jan 2015.
