Brief Summary
The primary objective of the THRIVE Pivotal study is to demonstrate the adjunctive effectiveness and the safety of the TIVUS system in:
- 1.subjects with uncontrolled hypertension (HTN) receiving 0 - 2 anti-hypertensive drugs of different classes in whom the anti-hypertensive medications will be stopped for a 4-week wash-out period before RDN/Sham procedure and during 2 months after procedure.
- 2.subjects with controlled hypertension receiving 1 - 2 anti-hypertensive drugs of different classes and who accept to be off-medications for a 4-week wash-out period before RDN/Sham procedure and 2 months after the procedure

Study Arms (2)
TIVUS™ Renal Denervation System
EXPERIMENTALFollowing angiogram, subjects found anatomically eligible and randomized to the renal denervation arm will be treated with the TIVUS™ Renal Denervation System.
Sham
SHAM COMPARATORFor those subjects randomized to the sham control, the angiogram will serve as the sham procedure.
Interventions
For those subjects randomized to the sham control, the angiogram will serve as the sham procedure.
Renal artery catheterization procedure used to denervate the renal sympathetic nerves in the perivascular space using ultrasound energy.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Appropriately signed and dated informed consent
- Male and female adults with age between ≥22 and ≤75 years at time of consent
- Documented history of hypertension
- Previously or currently prescribed antihypertensive therapy
- Subject has an office BP (average of 3 seated measurements) of:
- Uncontrolled BP: ≥ 140/90 mmHg \<180/110 mmHg at Screening Visit (V0) while stable for at least 4 weeks on 0-2 anti-hypertensive medications of different classes\* and willing to stop anti-hypertensive medication(s) for 4 weeks wash-out and 2-months post-procedure, (subjects with a history of treatment with anti-hypertensive medications but are not currently taking any at screening will undergo a 4-week run-in period) or,
- Controlled BP: \< 140/90 mmHg while stable for at least 4 weeks on 1-2 antihypertensive medications of different classes and willing to stop anti-hypertensive medication(s) for 4 weeks wash-out and 2-months post-procedure
- Able and willing to comply with all study procedures
- Subject is willing to have and is a good candidate for conscious sedation
- Subjects who meet the following criteria will be considered eligible for randomization:
- Documented daytime systolic ABP ≥ 135 mmHg and \< 180 mmHg after 4-week washout/run-in period.\*\*
- Suitable renal anatomy compatible with the renal denervation procedure, documented by renal CTA or MRA of good quality performed within one year prior to consent (a CTA or MRA will be obtained in subjects without a recent (≤1 year) cross-sectional renal imaging). The renal angiogram procedure done in the cath lab prior to randomization will serve as the final anatomy compatibility check.
- Potassium-sparing diuretics such as Amiloride hydrochloride and Triamterene may be prescribed in combination with another diuretic (e.g. a thiazide or loop diuretic) for their potassium conservation properties. In this situation, the diuretic combination is considered as a single class of anti-hypertensive.
You may not qualify if:
- Uncorrected causes of secondary hypertension other than sleep apnea (including, but not limited to): aldosteronism, renal parenchymal disease, renovascular disease, excess catecholamines, Cushing's syndrome, erythropoietin use, pheochromocytoma, hypo/hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, acromegaly)
- Type I diabetes mellitus or uncontrolled Type II diabetes (defined as a plasma HbA1c ≥ 9.0%)
- eGFR of \<40 mL/min/1.73 m2 CKD-EPI as calculated using the CKD-EPI 2021 equation
- Cerebrovascular event (e.g. stroke, transient ischemic event, cerebrovascular accident) within 6 months prior to consent
- History of severe cardiovascular event (e.g. myocardial infarction, unstable angina, CABG, acute heart failure requiring hospitalization (NYHA III-IV) within 12 months prior to consent
- Subject has severe valvular stenosis or insufficiency
- Documented repeat (\>1) hospitalization for hypertensive crisis within the prior 12 months and/or any hospitalization for hypertensive crisis within three (3) months prior to consent
- Prescribed to any standard antihypertensive cardiovascular medication (e.g. beta blockers) for other chronic conditions (e.g. ischemic heart disease) such that discontinuation might pose serious risk to health in the opinion of the investigator
- Subject with rapid, uncontrolled, symptomatic atrial fibrillation
- Active implantable medical device (e.g. ICD or CRT-D; neuromodulator/spinal stimulator; baroreflex stimulator)
- Chronic oxygen support or mechanical ventilation other than nocturnal respiratory support for sleep apnea.
- Subject has a planned major surgery (any procedure requiring general anesthesia) in the next 12 months.
- Subject on anticoagulant therapy that cannot be temporarily withheld for study procedure.
- Primary pulmonary hypertension
- Documented contraindication or allergy to contrast medium not amenable to treatment
- +25 more criteria

- Masking Details
- The subjects and all study personnel taking follow-up blood pressure measurements will be blinded to the randomization up to 6 months post-randomization. Subjects will complete a blinding assessment prior to hospital discharge, at 2M and 6M FU. Study unblinding will occur at 6-months FU. ABPM measurements will be sent to an independent core lab for data cleaning and analysis and will be blinded to the randomization assignment.
