Brief Summary:
To demonstrate that non-invasive renal denervation is safe and shows a net difference in blood pressure reduction when compared to sham in subjects with uncontrolled hypertension.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Hypertension Device: Investigational Therapy (Surround Sound) Device: Sham Control Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
This study is a sham controlled, double blind study of subjects with uncontrolled hypertension consisting of two arms, sham and therapy. Bilateral renal denervation will be performed non-invasively using the Kona Medical Surround Sound System which delivers focused ultrasound therapy to ablate the nerves surrounding the renal artery utilizing real time ultrasound for targeting and tracking.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety at 6 weeks follow-up [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]

    Safety will be assessed by incidence of Major Adverse Events (MAE), defined as a composite of the following events at 6-weeks follow-up.

    • All cause mortality;
    • End-stage Renal Disease defined as eGFR < 15 ml/min or need for renal replacement therapy
    • Hospitalization for hypertensive crisis not related to confirmed non-adherence with medications as assessed by toxicological and other medical analyses and testing.

    OR

    - New renal artery stenosis > 70% confirmed by angiography within 6 months of randomization


  2. Change in OBP [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Change in Office Systolic Blood Pressure (OBP) as measured from screening visit one to the 6 month post randomization follow-up visit.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in ABPM [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Change in average 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure from screening to the 6 month follow-up visit


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Chronic Safety [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

    Chronic safety is assessed and compared between the control and treatment groups at 6 months post-randomization as follows:

    • Cardiovascular/Renal Death;
    • End stage Renal Disease
    • Increase in serum creatinine of > 50%; and
    • Hospitalization for hypertensive crisis not confirmed non-adherence with medications.

  2. Reduction in blood pressure [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure as compared between groups at time points through the 6 month follow-up period for interval differences of 10,15 and 20 mmHg.

  3. Incidence of achieving target OBP [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Incidence of achieving target OBP (< 140 mmHg) through the 6 month follow-up period.

  4. Reduction in anti-hypertensive medications [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Incidence of reductions in the number of anti-hypertensive medications and reductions in the doses of anti-hypertensive medications.

  5. Changes in OBP [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
    Changes in OBP from screening to the 12, 18, and 24 month follow-up periods.

  6. Changes in HR [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Changes in HR (as measured by OBP and ABPM) through the 6 month follow-up period.
