RESPLASH study: Testing a new procedure for hard-to-treat high blood pressure in diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure called Endovascular Denervation (EDN) to lower blood pressure in people with Type 2 diabetes and resistant hypertension. You may be a good fit if your blood pressure stays high despite taking at least 3 blood pressure medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have had Type 2 diabetes for at least 5 years.
- Your HbA1c (average blood sugar over 2-3 months) is 6.5% or higher.
- You take at least one diabetes pill, and your diabetes medications have not changed in the last 30 days.
- You have high blood pressure that stays at 160 or higher (or 150 or higher with diabetes) even though you take 3 or more blood pressure medications.
- You have been on the same blood pressure medications for at least 2 weeks.

This study looks at a procedure called renal denervation, which uses a device to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys that can drive high blood pressure. It is for people whose blood pressure stays high even with several medications, or who cannot tolerate blood pressure pills.
This study tests a new treatment called HyperQure RDN, a laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery that targets nerves near the kidneys to lower blood pressure in people with resistant hypertension. If you have tried multiple medications but your blood pressure is still high, this procedure might offer an alternative approach.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation (using radiofrequency energy to calm overactive kidney nerves) in people who have chest pain caused by tiny heart artery dysfunction and also have hard-to-control high blood pressure. The goal is to see if treating the kidney nerves improves blood flow in the small heart arteries.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation for people with untreated high diastolic blood pressure. The procedure uses a small catheter to interrupt nerve signals around the kidneys, which may help lower blood pressure.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation to lower blood pressure in people whose medication isn't enough. It uses a special catheter to calm nerves near the kidneys that may be overactive.
This trial tests a new device procedure (renal denervation) to lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure is not well controlled by medications or who cannot tolerate them. If you have resistant hypertension and meet the safety criteria, you may be able to join.
