What is being measured

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

  1. The change in mean systolic 24-hour ABP from baseline to 90 days post-randomization, between the treatment arm and the sham arm.

    Reduction in mean systolic 24-hour ABP

    Measured: From Baseline to 90 days post-randomization

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Major adverse clinical events, including death, stroke, carotid interventions, and myocardial infarction, from baseline to 30 days post-randomization, between the treatment arm and the sham arm.

    Adverse Events

    Measured: From Baseline to 30 days post-randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MobiusHD in people with Hypertension, run by Vascular Dynamics, Inc. at 4 sites in Netherlands.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Due to the rigorous nature of the trial and enrollment interruptions caused by COVID-19, the study enrolled only 4 of the planned 110 subjects. Due to the lack of enrollment, the study was closed.). Results are not available in the source record.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change in mean systolic 24-hour ABP from baseline to 90 days post-randomization, between the treatment arm and the sham arm. (time frame: From Baseline to 90 days post-randomization). 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.
