Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To obtain an assessment of the efficacy and safety of renal denervation by alcohol-mediated neurolysis using the Peregrine Kit in hypertensive subjects in the absence of antihypertensive medications.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Subjects who continue to be eligible at the end of the run-in period will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following 2 groups via central randomization (stratified by study site):

* Treatment Arm: renal denervation (using the Peregrine Kit) performed with alcohol infused through the Peregrine Catheter
* Sham Control Arm: only renal angiography performed
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Outcome Assessors
Blinded (The subject, sponsor, and hypertensionist/nephrologist performing the screening and follow-up assessments are blinded. The interventionalist and cath lab staff are unblinded.)

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Has 3 office blood pressure measurements with a mean office systolic blood pressure (SBP) of ≥140 mmHg and ≤180 mmHg, AND a mean office diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of ≥90 mmHg.
2. Subject is willing to discontinue any current antihypertensive medications during the run-in period and the post-treatment period.
3. Has a mean 24-hour ambulatory SBP of ≥135 mmHg and ≤170 mmHg with ≥70% valid readings

Exclusion Criteria

1. Subject has renal artery anatomy abnormalities.
2. Subject has an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≤45 mL/min/1.73 m2, based on the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation; or is on chronic renal replacement therapy.
3. Subject has documented sleep apnea.
4. Subject has any of the following conditions: severe cardiac valve stenosis, heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class III or IV), chronic atrial fibrillation, and known primary pulmonary hypertension (\>60 mmHg pulmonary artery or right ventricular systolic pressure).
5. Subject is pregnant or lactating at the time of enrollment or planning to become pregnant during the trial time period (female subjects only).
6. Subject is being treated chronically (e.g. daily use) with NSAIDs, immunosuppressive medications, or immunosuppressive doses of steroids. Aspirin therapy and nasal pulmonary inhalants are allowed.
7. Subject has a history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, or stroke/TIA within 6 months prior to the planned procedure.
