Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Heart failure is one of the most important diseases worldwide, with a 5-year mortality of up to 75% in symptomatic patients. While substantial progress has been made in the treatment of patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF), mortality for patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unchanged, despite a comparable prevalence and mortality of the disease as for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has a high mortality, which is contrasted by a total absence of therapy options besides symptomatic diuretic treatment. This study aims to explore the potential of RDN as a therapy for HFpEF in a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Blinded, Sham-controlled Study.

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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

21 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. signs or symptoms of heart failure;
  2. normal or mildly abnormal systolic LV function (LVEF ≥ 50%);
  3. evidence of diastolic LV dysfunction.
  4. Individual should fulfill the diagnostic WHO criteria for hypertension: SBP > 140 mmHg and/or DBP > 90 mmHg, and is treated with at least 2 antihypertensive drugs. This treatment is expected to be maintained for at least 6 months. Using this regimen the blood pressure should be adequately controlled (< 140/90mmHg by 24 hour ambulatory BP measurement).
  5. Individual is adhering to a stable drug regimen HFNEF, with no changes for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to enrollment, and which is expected to be maintained for at least 6 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Known secondary cause of hypertension
  2. Anatomy not eligible for renal denervation
  3. Systolic heart failure (LVEF < 50%)
  4. Individual has an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of < 30mL/min/1.73m2, using the MDRD calculation.
  5. Individual has any serious medical condition, which in the opinion of the investigator, may adversely affect the safety and/or effectiveness of the participant or the study (i.e., patients with clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, bleeding disorders such as thrombocytopenia, haemophilia, significant anaemia, or arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation).
  6. Individual is pregnant, nursing or planning to be pregnant.

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 from baseline E/E' at 12 months
Time Frame: 12 months after treatment
Echocardiography will be used to measure the E/E'
12 months after treatment

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.
