New device zaps kidney nerves to lower blood pressure in Real-World study
NCT ID NCT06297291
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is tracking 1,000 patients with high blood pressure who receive the Paradise Ultrasound Renal Denervation treatment. The procedure uses ultrasound energy to calm overactive nerves near the kidneys, which can help lower blood pressure. Researchers are monitoring blood pressure changes and medication use over time to see how well the device works in everyday medical practice.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Paradise Ultrasound Renal Denervation System (a catheter-based device that uses ultrasound energy to calm nerves near the kidneys)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that the Paradise system is a safe and effective long-term option for lowering blood pressure in patients who cannot control it with lifestyle changes or medication.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-approval observational study, not a randomized controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. The procedure carries risks such as injury to blood vessels or kidneys, and some patients may not experience significant blood pressure reduction.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Hypertension patients in whom lifestyle modifications and antihypertensive medications do not adequately control BP will be identified from the general population by the enrolling center. Subjects enrolled in the RADIANCE CAP study will be transferred to the US GPS study after completion of their 12-month follow-up visit in the RADIANCE CAP study, to complete the remainder of the long-term annual follow-up visits under the post approval study protocol.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Signed and dated study informed consent * Documented history of hypertension * Documented history of prior or current antihypertensive medication(s) * Mean seated office systolic BP at screening ≥ 140 mmHg * Mean pre-procedure home systolic BP of ≥ 135 mmHg * Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≥30 mL/min/m2 RADIANCE CAP patients must provide signed and dated informed consent for inclusion in long-term follow-up. No other criteria are required for inclusion. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who meet the following will be excluded from participation: * Patient lacks appropriate renal anatomy for any treatment with the Paradise Catheter * Patient under the age of 18 years old at the time of consent * Patient is pregnant * Patients with transplanted kidney * Presence of abnormal kidney (or secreting adrenal) tumors To confirm eligibility for treatment with the Paradise System, the following contraindications listed in the IFU may be determined at the time of procedure prior to treatment: * Renal arteries with diameter \< 3mm and \> 8mm * Renal artery with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) * Stented renal artery * Renal artery aneurysm * Renal artery diameter stenosis \>30% * Iliac/femoral artery stenosis precluding insertion of the Paradise Catheter
