Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of renal denervation using DENEX System in patients with hypertension without antihypertensive medication, compared with the sham group.


Description:

DENEX system developed by Kalos Medical Inc. is a renal denervation system to efficiently block the sympathetic nerve of the kidney with minimal invasive procedure. It was developed to block the sympathetic nerves distributed in blood vessel wall by delivering high frequency energy to the renal artery for the purpose of treating hypertension.

Subject who requires more than occasional use (e.g., PRN) of narcotic drugs over the month prior to Screening Visit 1 15. Subject currently taking anti-mineralocorticoid medications, unless weaned off by = 8 weeks prior to Screening Visit 1 16. Subject with a history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or subject who refuses blood transfusions 17. Subject working night shifts 18. Subject with a medical history of contraindications, anaphylactic reactions, or uncontrollable allergic reactions to contrast agents 19. Subject using active implantable medical devices (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator [ICD] or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Device [CRT-D], neuromodulation device, spinal cord stimulator, pressure reflector, etc.) 20. Subject with scheduled or planned surgery that may affect clinical investigation endpoints, in the opinion of the investigator 21. Subject has a documented condition that would prohibit or interfere with ability to obtain an accurate blood pressure measurement using the protocol-specified automatic/office blood pressure monitor (e.g., upper arm circumference outside cuff size ranges available by geography or arrhythmia that interferes with automatic monitor's pulse sensing and prohibits an accurate measurement). 22. Subject with documented confounding medical condition that may adversely affect the safety of the subject, in the opinion of the investigator (e.g. clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, aortic aneurysm, severe cardiac valve stenosis for which a significant reduction of blood pressure is contraindicated, or bleeding disorders such as thrombocytopenia, hemophilia, or significant anemia,) 23. Subject with known unresolved history of drug use or alcohol dependency, lacks ability to comprehend or follow instructions, or would be unlikely or unable to comply with clinical investigation follow-up requirements 24. Subject currently enrolled in a concurrent investigational drug or device clinical investigation, unless approved by clinical investigation sponsor 25. 23)25) Pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the course of the clinical investigation or follow-up. A negative pregnancy test is required for all women of child- bearing potential. 26. Subject who is unsuitable for the study for any reason as judged by the investigator
