Effects of REnal Denervation for Resistant Hypertension on Exercise Diastolic Function and Regression of Atherosclerosis and the Evaluation of NEW Methods Predicting A successfuL Renal Sympathetic Denervation (RENEWAL-EXERCISE, -REGRESS, and -PREDICT Trial From RENEWAL RDN Registry)

March 26, 2019 updated by: Yonsei University
  1. (RENEWAL-EXERCISE trial) The investigators hypothesize that the increased sympathetic nervous system activation that is associated with resistant hypertension is a major contributor in the pathogenesis of exercise diastolic dysfunction and that modulation of the sympathetic nervous system activity with radiofrequency ablation of the renal artery sympathetic nerve fibers delivered via a treatment catheter, will have a significant effect on the diastolic function that is beyond BP-lowering effect.
  2. (RENEWAL-REGRESSION trial) The major cause of mortality and morbidity in hypertension is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. the significant decrease in the sympathetic nervous system activation after renal sympathetic denervation will contribute to regression over and beyond it's effect of blood pressure reduction.
  3. (RENEWAL-PREDICT trial) No data exists regarding the tests or methods predicting the successful renal denervation causing the effective reduction of BP. For these, the investigators sought to perform the new tests such as adenosine infusion test during procedure and skin sympathetic activity measurement before and immediate post-procedure (detailed explanation provided in section of Methods) and then evaluate the association between these tests and reduction of BP following procedures.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in coronary atheroma
Time Frame: change in coronary atheroma for 24 months after renal denervation
Evaluation of the change in coronary atheroma (change in percent atheroma volume (PAV) and the change in nominal atheroma volume in the 10-mm subsegment with the greatest disease severity at baseline), analyzed by an IVUS, between baseline and 2-year IVUS in the patients with CAD) for RENEWAL-REGRESS trial
change in coronary atheroma for 24 months after renal denervation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Reduction of peak exercise E/E prime
Time Frame: Peak exercise E/E prime from 6 and 12 months after renal denervation
Reduction of peak exercise E/E prime at 6 month follow up for RENEWAL-EXERCISE trial
Peak exercise E/E prime from 6 and 12 months after renal denervation

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
