About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Single-center, Open-label, Self Controlled Case Series Trial of Renal Sympathetic Denervation Using SyMapCath I™ Catheter and SYMPIONEER S1™ Stimulator/Generator for the Treatment of Hypertension in Patients on Hemodialysis (SMART-HD Trial)

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted renal sympathetic denervation using SyMapCath I™ in patients on hemodialysis with pharmacotherapy and uncontrolled hypertension for at least 6 months, then after standardized antihypertensive drug therapy (at least two drugs) for at least 28 days, office systolic blood pressure (BP) is still ≥ 150mmHg, ≤180mmHg.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, self controlled case series trial, in which patients on maintenance hemodialysis are diagnosed with essential hypertension with at least six months of disease history and pharmacotherapy however their blood pressure still cannot be controlled. The patients will be informed, consent and get into a screening process. During the screening period patients will receive a standardized antihypertensive drug treatment for at least 28 days and office BP is still ≥ 150mmHg, ≤180mmHg, and meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These patients will conduct renal artery angiography followed by renal sympathetic nerve denvervation (30 patients). Patients with office BP which is not achieved ideal level (<140 mmHg) will titrate doses of classes of antihypertensive drugs according to a predefined standardized medication regimen until their office BP <140 mmHg.

Patients will be followed at 7 days after the procedure or at discharge from hospital, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. Blood samples will be collected for drug tests to determine drug compliance of a patient.

Data collecting/management/statistical analysis and laboratory tests will be performed by independent, qualified organizations. Independent DSMB/CEC are formed and responsible for assessments of protocol deviations and natures of SAEs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in office BP

    Reduction in office BP at 3 month after the treatment

    Measured: 3 month after the treatment

  2. The composite index of anti-hypertensive drugs

    The composite index of anti-hypertensive drugs at 6 months after the treatments

    Measured: 6 months after the treatments

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Reduction in office BP

    Reduction in office BP at 1 month and 6 months after the treatment

    Measured: 1 month, 6 months

  2. Postoperative reduction in 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) reduction in systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months

  3. The control rates of reduction in office systolic blood pressure (SBP) by 10mmHg or Ambulatory Systolic Blood Pressure (ASBP) by 5mmHg

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months

  4. The control rates of office systolic blood pressure ( SBP<140mmHg)

    The control rates of office systolic blood pressure ( SBP<140mmHg) at 6 month after the treatment

    Measured: 6 month

  5. Incidence of Intradialytic hypotension (IDH)

    Decrease in systolic BP of ≥ 20 mm Hg during hemodialysis

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months

  6. All-cause death

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months

  7. AEs, SAEs, and severe cardio-cerebrovascular events

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months

  8. Success rate of the renal interventional therapy procedure

    the renal denervation catheter can be engaged to the correct position in renal artery, successfully performed renal nerve ablation procedure and has no related complications such as renal arterial perforation

    Measured: during the procedure

  9. Success rate of clinical treatment

    based on succeed performance of renal interventional therapy procedure , there are no the procedure-related SAE, such as acute infection and renal dysfunction

    Measured: 7 days after the procedure or at the time the patient is discharged from hospital

  10. Rate of renal artery stenosis assessed by CT angiography

    stenosis > 70%

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SyMapCath I™ catheter and SYMPIONEER S1™ Stimulator/Generator in people with Hypertension and Hemodialysis, run by The Second Hospital of Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 9 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 4 May 2021. 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 China. 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 Jie Wang, MD, PhD (+8613511604566, jay329329@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction in office BP (time frame: 3 month after the treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 May 2021.
