Last Updated: 2021-03-16

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: UNKNOWN
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 15 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2016-02-29
• Study Completion Date: 2021-06-30

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to assess the safety, performance and initial effectiveness of the TIVUS™ System when used for pulmonary artery denervation through subjective and objective change in clinical parameters and haemodynamic evaluation. This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, open-label clinical trail. The study will be conducted in up to 5 centers and will recruit up to 15 patients diagnosed with PAH, functional class III who have stable PAH on a stable drug regimen of two pulmonary arterial hypertension specific medications.

Conditions

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Pulmonary Denervation

Pulmonary Denervation (PDN) using the TIVUS™ System will be performed in patient suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension after completion of screening and eligibility phase, The procedure will be performed during right heart catheterisation. Safety and effectiveness of the PDN treatment will be assessed during one year follow up.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Therapeutic Intra-Vascular UltraSound (TIVUS™) System

Intervention Type: DEVICE

The TIVUS™ System generates high intensity, non-focused ultrasonic energy that is delivered through the wall of the pulmonary artery to achieve local nerve deactivation.

Denervation in the pulmonary arteries (PDN) would be performed during right heart catheterization. The PDN procedure would be attempted in the main, right and left pulmonary arteries, close to the main bifurcation.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria
