What is being measured

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

  1. Change in office-based systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to 6 months

    Measured: 6 month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in average 24-hour SBP by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) from baseline to 6 months

    Change in average 24-hour SBP by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) from baseline to 6 months

    Measured: 6 month

  2. • The incidence of major adverse events (MAE) at 1 month postrandomization

    Measured: 1-month post randomization

  3. Office SBP and DBP at 1, 3, 6 months postrandomization

    Measured: up to 6 months

  4. • Patient-recorded home systolic blood pressure at 1, 3, 6 months postrandomization

    Measured: up to 6 months

  5. • MAE at 6-month post-randomization, including new renal artery stenosis >60%

    Measured: up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing renal denervation and standard medication in people with Renal Denervation and Resistant Hypertension, run by Shanghai AngioCare Medical 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 15 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 20 Oct 2016. 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. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. 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?

Change in office-based systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to 6 months (time frame: 6 month). 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 20 Oct 2016.
