Trial summary
Hypertension represents a significant global public health problem, contributing to vascular and renal morbidity, cardiovascular mortality, and economic burden. For a mostly asymptomatic disease, there is a huge challenge to maintain a good adherence and longtime persistence of drug use so as to adequately control it. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial of Efficacy and Safety of Renal Denervation for Resistant Hypertension
Hypertension represents a significant global public health problem, contributing to vascular and renal morbidity, cardiovascular mortality, and economic burden. For a mostly asymptomatic disease, there is a huge challenge to maintain a good adherence and longtime persistence of drug use so as to adequately control it. Even so, a significant proportion of patients will develop resistant hypertension. In recent years, renal denervation has been argued as an effective means to address blood pressure problem in several non-Chinese clinical trials. The technique is to deliver low level radiofrequency energy through the renal artery wall to target the sympathetic nervous system and then modulate blood pressure.
Shanghai WiseGain Medical Devices Co., LTD has developed the WiseGo Catheter System, which is an irrigated radiofrequency ablation Catheter. With this Catheter, it is expected to improve blood pressure status among patients with resistant hypertension failing polypharmacy. The purpose of this randomized control trial is to obtain an assessment of the efficacy and safety of WiseGo renal denervation technique in the presence of three standard antihypertensive medications in Chinese patients.

- Being tested
- Radiofrequency ablation catheter, Amlodipine, losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Radiofrequency ablation catheterDevice
Subjects will be treated with the renal denervation procedure using WiseGo Catheter System after randomization.
Amlodipine, losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazideDrug
Standardised triple anti-hypertensive medications of amlodipine 5 mg per day, losartan potassium 50 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg per day in the first 90 days after randomization. Subjects will be allowed to adjust baseline antihypertensive medications where clinically necessary in the second 90 days after randomization.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Renal Denervation plus Medications | Experimental | Renal denervation procedure after randomization plus maintenance of baseline standardised triple anti-hypertensive medications for 90 days and then medically necessary adjustment of antihypertensive medications for another 90 days Receives: Device: Radiofrequency ablation catheter; Drug: Amlodipine, losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide |
| Medications | Active comparator | Maintenance of baseline standardised triple antihypertensive medications after randomization for 90 days and then medically necessary adjustment of antihypertensive medications for another 90 days, after which, subjects will be allowed to cross over to perform renal denervation if they still meet the inclusion criteria for the study. Receives: Drug: Amlodipine, losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Radiofrequency ablation catheter and Amlodipine, losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide in people with Hypertension, run by Shanghai WiseGain Medical Devices Co., Ltd. at 13 sites 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 3 inclusion and 16 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 14 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 13 sites 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. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Helen Chen, Dr. (86-21-61400976, helen6_2@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in average 24-hour systolic blood pressure by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring from baseline (time frame: 3 months post-randomization). 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 NCT02900729, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 14 Sep 2016.
