Drug-naïve is defined as those with no previous exposure to antihypertensive medications.
  • Subject who meets all of the following blood pressure measurements:
  • Office Systolic Blood Pressrue (SBP) \< 180 mmHg at Screening Visit 1
  • Office SBP ≥ 150 mmHg and \< 180 mmHg, and office diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 90 mmHg at Screening Visit 2
  • h ambulatory SBP ≥ 140 mmHg and \< 170 mmHg at Screening Visit 2
  • Subject who voluntarily decides to participate in this clinical study and sign the written consent.
  • Subject who willing and able to complete all clinical investigation-related procedures and assessments

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject with renal anatomy that is ineligible for treatment:
  • Diameter of main renal artery for each kidney is \< 3 mm or \> 8 mm OR presence of accessory renal arteries (ARAs) with a diameter \< 3 mm
  • Presence of fibromuscular dysplasia
  • Presence of kidney tumors or secretory tumors in the adrenal gland
  • \> 50% stenosis in any treatable vessel
  • Presence of aneurysm (any localized increase in vessel diameter)
  • Treatment area within 5 mm segment in the renal artery contains an atheroma, calcification, or a renal artery stent
  • A single functioning kidney
  • Polycystic kidney disease
  • Subject with prior renal denervation, renal artery stenting, renal artery angioplasty, renal nephrectomy, or renal transplant
  • Subject with type 1 diabetes mellitus or uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (HbA1c over 10.0%)
  • Subject with epidermal growth factor receptor (eGFR) \< 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, using the 4-variable modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) clinical investigation calculation
  • Subject taking sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors or glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists that have been prescribed \< 90 days prior to Screening Visit 1 or necessary to remain on these medications for duration of clinical investigation
  • Subject with ≥ 1 episode of orthostatic hypotension not related to medication changes within the past year prior to Screening Visit 1
  • Documented repeated (\> 1) hospitalization for hypertensive crisis within the 12 months and/or any hospitalization for hypertensive crisis within the 3months prior to Screening Visit 1.
