About this study

Official title: Multi-Organ Denervation to RedUce Sympathetic Drive, Multi-Center, Prospective Feasibility Study - The MODUS ON MED Study

The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of multi-organ denervation using the Integrated Radio Frequency (iRF) Denervation System. and to understand any potential improvement in hypertension and glycemic control.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, sham contollred trial to evaluate the initial safety and performance of multi-organ denervation for the treatment of hypertension and type 2 diabetes.

What participants receive

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

  • iRF System Multi-organ DenervationDevice

    If assigned to the treatment arm, subjects will remain blinded and recieve angiography prior to catheter based RF ablation to circumferentially disrupt the sympathetic nerves surrounding the target arteries

  • Control ProcedureOther

    If assigned to the control group, subjects will remain blinded and recieve angiography of the target arteries prior to sheath removal.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of SADEs

    The primary safety endpoint is the incidence rate of serious adverse device effects (SADEs)

    Measured: Index Procedure through 30 days.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in automated unobserved average office blood pressure

    Change from baseline in systolic/diastolic blood pressure as indicated by average automated unobserved office blood pressure

    Measured: 90, 180 and 365 days

  2. Change in Systolic/Diastolic Blood Pressure - Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

    Change from baseline in systolic/diastolic blood pressure as indicated by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

    Measured: 90, 180 and 365 days

  3. Change in Glycemic control - HbA1c

    Change from baseline in HbA1c percent

    Measured: 90 days, 180 days and 365 days

  4. Change in Glycemic control - fasting glucose

    Change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose

    Measured: 90 days, 180 days and 365 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing iRF System Multi-organ Denervation in people with Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Metavention at 2 sites in Georgia.

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 5 inclusion and 41 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 21 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Georgia. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Adam Ahlstrom (1-612-814-8208, aahlstrom@metavention.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of SADEs (time frame: Index Procedure through 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 21 Jun 2022.
