THRIVE- THerapeutic IntravasculaR Ultrasound (TIVUS™) REnal Denervation System Versus Sham for the Adjunctive Treatment of Hypertension

THRIVE is an international, multicenter, randomized, double blind, sham-controlled study, designed to demonstrate the adjunctive effectiveness and safety of the TIVUS System in hypertensive subjects while subjects are maintained off-antihypertensive medications for a 4-week wash-out period before RDN/Sham procedure and 2 months after procedure. At two months after procedure, subjects with uncontrolled hypertension are put back on antihypertensive medication according to a medication escalation protocol. Unblinding will be performed at 6 months. Uncontrolled sham subjects can cross-over to RDN procedure at 6-months. The sham procedure will be minimally invasive to reduce risk to subjects. All subjects treated with TIVUS will be followed for a maximum of 36 months post procedure.
