Trial summary

A pilot, single-center, prospective, interventional study. The objective is to demonstrate that catheter-based renal denervation using carbon dioxide renal angiography in patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease can be performed for treatment of uncontrolled hypertension.

About this study

Official title: Renal Sympathetic Denervation in Moderate to Severe Chronic Kidney Disease Using a Novel Non-iodinated Contrast Free Protocol

A pilot, single-center, prospective, interventional study. The objective is to demonstrate that catheter-based renal denervation using carbon dioxide renal angiography in patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease can be performed for treatment of uncontrolled hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Renal sympathetic denervation has been shown to be safe and effective in patients with uncontrolled hypertension and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)>45 mL/min per 1•73 m². However, the safety and efficacy of this has not been studied in patients with more severe renal impairment. The investigators aim to examine safety and efficacy of renal denervation (RDN) in patients with eGFR between 44 and 15 ml/min/1.73 m2 (CKD 3b \& 4) in a pilot study which may be a precursor of a large observational study in the future. Moreover, the current imaging protocol and procedure protocol for renal sympathetic denervation requires the use of iodinated contrast, which can have deleterious effects on renal function. The investigators have a proven track record for the use of carbon dioxide angiography in renal artery intervention. The investigators would like to use carbon dioxide angiography in this study to minimize contrast induced deterioration in renal function in this cohort which may again be a precursor of a farther larger study.

What participants receive

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

  • Renal Sympathetic DenervationDevice

    Renal sympathetic denervation is a minimally invasive, endovascular catheter-based procedure using radiofrequency ablation of sympathetic nerves located in the walls of renal arteries, aimed at treating treatment-resistant hypertension.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline to 7 days and 30 days

    Change in eGFR from baseline to 7 days and 1 month as measure of safety in terms of kidney function

    Measured: at baseline, 7days and 30 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline to 7 days, 1, 3, and 6 months

    Change in kidney function from baseline to 7 days, 1, 3, and 6 months

    Measured: at baseline, 7 days, 1, 3, and 6 months

  2. Change in proteinuria (albumin:creatinine ratio) from baseline to at 1, 3, and 6 months.

    Change in proteinuria (albumin:creatinine ratio) from baseline to at 1, 3, and 6 months.

    Measured: at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months

  3. Change in mean daytime ambulatory blood pressure on 24 hour monitoring from baseline to 6 months

    Change in mean daytime ambulatory blood pressure on 24 hour monitoring from baseline to 6 months

    Measured: at baseline and 6 months

  4. Change in office blood pressure from baseline to 1,3, and 6 months

    Change in office BP from baseline to 1,3, and 6 months for efficacy

    Measured: at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Renal Sympathetic Denervation in people with Hypertension and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Heart of England NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2017. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in Estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline to 7 days and 30 days (time frame: at baseline, 7days and 30 days). 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 9 Aug 2017.
