What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and efficacy of renal denervation

    Effect on blood pressure including office, ABPM, and home-based measurements.

    Number of adverse events (death, stroke, myocardial infarction, new dialysis, and congestive heart failure).

    Changes of antihypertensive medications.

    Effects on renal function assessed with glomerular filtration rate.

    Renovascular safety (renal artery stenosis) assessed by duplex ultrasound.

    Measured: Baseline to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Effect of renal denervation on different organ systems.

    Myocardial function and geometry using echo and MRI.

    Heart rate changes and arrhythmias.

    Glucose metabolism and insulin resistance (fasting and during oGTT).

    Hospitalization rates (eg. hypertensive emergencies, heart failure, etc).

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months

  2. Safety and efficacy of renal denervation

    Effect on blood pressure including office, ABPM, and home-based measurements.

    Number of adverse events (death, stroke, myocardial infarction, new dialysis, and congestive heart failure).

    Changes of antihypertensive medications.

    Effects on renal function assessed with glomerular filtration rate.

    Renovascular safety (renal artery stenosis) assessed by duplex ultrasound.

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Renal denervation with Symplicity Flex Medtronic/Ardian, Renal denervation with EnligHTN St. Jude Medical and Renal denervation with Paradise Recor in people with Hypertension and Heart Failure, run by University Hospital, Saarland at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 27 Jun 2013. 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 Germany. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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 Felix Mahfoud, MD (+4968411621346, felix.mahfoud@uks.eu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and efficacy of renal denervation (time frame: Baseline to 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01888315, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jun 2013.
