Impact of Sympathetic Renal Denervation- a Study in Patients After Renal Transplantation (ISAR-denerve)

November 3, 2015 updated by: Simon Schneider, Technical University of Munich

A Randomized Safety and Efficacy Study Investigating the Effects of Catheter-based Renal Denervation in Patients After Renal Transplantation

The study is aiming to document the safety and effectiveness of renal denervation in patients after renal transplantation with hypertension. Catheter-based renal denervation will be performed using CE marked, percutaneous Symplicity catheter.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Medical therapy
Best medical therapy using guideline recommended drugs in each disease state.
Experimental: Catheter-based renal denervation
Renal denervation will be performed in the native renal arteries of patients after renal transplantation. Access side is the contralateral femoral artery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety and efficacy of renal denervation in patients after renal transplantation
Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months
Effect on blood pressure including office, ABPM, and home-based measurements. Number of adverse events. Changes of antihypertensive medications. Effects on renal function assessed with glomerular filtration rate. Renovascular safety (renal artery stenosis) assessed by duplex ultrasound.
Baseline to 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effect of renal denervation in patients after renal transplantation on different organ systems.
Time Frame: Baseline to 6 month
Effects on sympathetic activity assessed by heart rate variability and post extrasystolic potentiation. Glucose metabolism and insulin resistance (fasting and during oGTT). Hospitalization rates (eg. hypertensive emergencies, heart failure, etc).
Baseline to 6 month
