Association Between a Multi-Gene Panel and Renal Denervation Effectiveness in Patients With Hypertension

Association Between a Multi-Gene Panel and Renal Denervation Effectiveness in Patients With Hypertension

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a multi-gene panel to determine which subjects are likely to respond to renal denervation therapy with Medtronic's Symplicity Spyral™ multi-electrode renal denervation system.

The objective of this study is to assess if renal denervation (RDN) effectiveness using the Symplicity SpyralTM multi-electrode renal denervation system is associated with ranked genomic scoring from the Geneticure multi-gene algorithm for renal denervation. The present study will assess if subjects who have a high genetic score, based on the hypothesized importance of the organ systems involved, will have differential responsiveness to RDN in a descending order. The genetic scoring is collectively ranked in a specific order, in that:

• Subjects with a "high level of general functionality" (functionality in the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), cardiac, vascular (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)), and renal system genotypes will be most responsive to RDN.
• Subjects with high number of functional genotypes of SNS, cardiac, and RAAS will be the next most responsive group.
• Subjects with functionality in genotypes of SNS and cardiac systems will demonstrate the next most responsive group.
• Subjects with functionality in the SNS genotypes will demonstrate some degree of responsiveness.
• Subjects with functionality in the renal system, but not SNS, cardiac, nor RAAS, will be the least responsive to this therapy.
