NCT05372679

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, open-label clinical study of the safety and performance of the TIVUS™ System in subjects with uncontrolled stage 2 hypertension in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of the TIVUS™ System when used for renal artery denervation. The study will assess the acute and chronic safety of the procedure as well as the reduction in 24-hour ambulatory mean systolic blood pressure from baseline to 3 months after the procedure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Incidence of Adverse Events

    acute treatment related adverse events including including all-cause mortality, acute kidney injury, significant embolic event, renal artery perforation or dissection requiring intervention, vascular complications, stroke, myocardial infarction, or transient ischemic attack, deterioration in renal function end-stage renal failure, hospital admission for hypertensive crisis not related to confirmed nonadherence with medications or the protocol, new renal artery stenosis of more than 70% and major access site complications or cardiovascular complications

    from baseline to 1 month post procedure

  • Incidence of Adverse Events

    chronic treatment related adverse events including including all-cause mortality, acute kidney injury, significant embolic event, renal artery perforation or dissection requiring intervention, vascular complications, stroke, myocardial infarction, or transient ischemic attack, deterioration in renal function end-stage renal failure, hospital admission for hypertensive crisis not related to confirmed nonadherence with medications or the protocol, new renal artery stenosis of more than 70% and major access site complications or cardiovascular complications

    from baseline to 12 month post procedure

  • Change in mean daytime ambulatory systolic BP

    Reduction in daytime ambulatory mean systolic blood pressure from baseline to 3 months after the procedure.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Written informed consent to participate in the study obtained from the patient, according to local regulations, prior to initiation of any study mandated procedure.
  • Male or female, ≥ 18 years of age and ≤ 80 years of age at the time of screening.
  • Individual has office systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 140 mm Hg but \< 180 mm Hg, and a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 90 mm Hg but \< 110 mm Hg based on an average of 3 office seated blood pressure readings measured by a manual, automated or semi-automated validated BP monitor, on current medications. 4. Documented mean daytime ABPM systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 135 mm Hg but \< 180 mm Hg, after a 4 week stabilization period.
  • \. Patient is either on at least one anti-hypertensive medication at maximal tolerated dose with a medically documented intolerance to one or more medications, or on three medications where one is a diuretic.
  • \. Patient is willing and expected to maintain their anti-hypertensive medication regimen for at least 3 months.
  • \. Patient is able and willing to comply with all study procedures.

You may not qualify if:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women or women planning a pregnancy within 12 months of study enrollment.
  • Patient has an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of \< 40mL/min/1.73m2 CKD-EPI as calculated using the CKD-EPI 2021 equation.
  • Patients with uncontrolled rapid AF.
  • Patient has had a previous renal denervation procedure.
  • Patients with daytime ABPM mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) \> 180 mm Hg.
  • Patient has Type 1 diabetes or poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes (HbA1c \> 9%).
  • Patients with history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, or widespread atherosclerosis, with documented intravascular thrombosis or unstable plaques.
  • Patient has a planned major surgery or cardiovascular intervention in the next 6 months.
  • Patient who has undergone a major surgery or cardiovascular intervention in the previous 3 months.
  • Patient has frequent intermittent or chronic pain that results in treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for two or more days per week over the month prior to enrollment.
  • Patient is taking immunosuppressive therapy for diseases featuring vasculitis.
  • Patient on anticoagulant therapy that cannot be temporarily withheld for study procedure.
  • Contraindication to recommended denervation procedure medications or intravascular contrast that cannot be adequately controlled with pre-medication.
  • Concurrent enrollment in another device or drug trial that has not completed the primary endpoint or clinically interferes with the current study endpoints. For patient previously participating in a drug trial, allow a wash-off period of at least 5 half-lives of the investigational drug.
  • Patient with significant co-morbid condition(s) which, at the discretion of the PI, are deemed to prohibit study entry.
