What is being measured

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

  1. Change in insulin resistance from baseline to 3 months after renal denervation

    To determine the effects of renal sympathetic denervation on insulin resistance (determined by the Homeostasis Model Assessment - Insulin Resistance method) at 3 months after renal denervation

    Measured: Baseline and Month 3

  2. Change in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) from baseline to 3 months after renal denervation

    To determine the effects of renal sympathetic denervation on MSNA at 3 months after renal denervation

    Measured: Baseline and Month 3

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in insulin resistance from baseline to 12 months after renal denervation

    To determine the effects of renal sympathetic denervation on insulin resistance long-term (12 months after renal denervation).

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12

  2. Change in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) from baseline to 12 months after renal denervation

    To determine the effects of renal sympathetic denervation on MSNA long-term (12 months after renal denervation).

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Renal Denervation and EnligHTN™ Renal Denervation System. in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 1 site in Greece.

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 9 inclusion and 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2019. 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 Greece. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 insulin resistance from baseline to 3 months after renal denervation (time frame: Baseline and Month 3). 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 Feb 2019.
