Registration Number
NCT02439775
Lead Sponsor
Medtronic Vascular
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that renal denervation decreases blood pressure and is safe when studied in the presence of up to three standard antihypertensive medications.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that renal denervation is safe and reduces systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients with uncontrolled hypertension on one, two, or three standard antihypertensive medications compared to a sham control in the same population. In this study, "uncontrolled hypertension" is defined as an office systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 150 mmHg and \<180 mmHg, an office Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg and a 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) average SBP ≥140 mmHg to \<170 mmHg, all of which are measured at Screening Visits. Data obtained will be used to confirm the effect of renal denervation on elevated blood pressure in patients on 1, 2 or 3 antihypertensive medications.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Systolic Blood Pressure as Measured by 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)From baseline to 6 months post-procedure

Baseline adjusted change (using Analysis of Covariance) in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline (Screening Visit 2) to 6 months post-procedure as measured by 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM).

Acute and Chronic Safety by Evaluating Incidence of Major Adverse EventsFrom baseline to 1 month post-procedure (6 months for new renal artery stenosis)

The primary safety endpoint of the study is the incidence of Major Adverse Events (MAE), defined as a composite of the following events: All-cause mortality, End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Significant embolic event resulting in end-organ damage, Renal artery perforation requiring intervention, Renal artery dissection requiring intervention, Vascular complications, Hospitalization for hypertensive crisis not related to confirmed non-adherence with medications or the protocol, New renal artery stenosis \>70%, confirmed by angiography and as a determined by the angiographic core laboratory, through one-month post-randomization (6- months for new renal artery stenosis).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Antihypertensive Medication Burden to 6-monthsFrom baseline to 6 Months post-procedure

Based on the prescribed medications reported, medication burden was calculated using Medication Index 2 score which is a composite index based on the doses of antihypertensive medications multiplied by the number of medications prescribed; all classes (ACE/ARB, calcium channel blockers, etc.) were considered equivalent in potency. Higher score indicates higher dosages being prescribed over the standard dose.

Minimum value 0; No Maximum value

Incidence of Achieving Target Office Systolic Blood PressureFrom baseline to 6 months post-procedure

Incidence of achieving target office systolic blood pressure (SBP\<140 mmHg) at 6 months post- procedure.

Change in Office Systolic Blood PressureFrom baseline to 6 months post-procedure

Change in office systolic blood pressure from baseline (Screening Visit 2) to 6 months post-procedure

Antihypertensive Medication Usage and Changes to 6-monthsFrom baseline to 6-month post-procedure

Number of medications from baseline (Screening Visit 2) through 6 Months post-procedure

Medication ChangesBaseline to 6-months post-procedure

Patients who had medication changes based on Medication Index 2 drug testing data. Medication Index 2 score is a composite index based on the doses of antihypertensive medications multiplied by the number of medications prescribed; all classes (ACE/ARB, calcium channel blockers, etc.) were considered equivalent in potency.
