Brief summary

The objective of this study is to show that the safety and efficacy of renal denervation using DENEX, are superior to those of control group for the patients with hypertension on no or 1 to 3 antihypertensive medications.

Detailed description

DENEX system developed by Handok Kalos Medical Inc. is a renal denervation system to efficiently block the sympathetic nerve of the kidney with minimal invasive procedure. It was developed to block the sympathetic nerves distributed in blood vessel wall by delivering high frequency energy to the renal artery for the purpose of treating hypertension.

Inclusion criteria

* Subject aged 19 to 75 years old * Subject should maintain the 0 to 3 antihypertensive medications of different classes, ACE-I, ARB, beta blocker, CCB or diuretics, without change for at least 4 weeks of run-in period between primary screening and secondary screening and for at least 3 months after the procedure * Subject with 140 mmHg ≤ average office SBP \< 180 mmHg and 90 mmHg ≤ office DBP \< 120 mmHg at primary and secondary screening * Subject with 135 mmHg ≤ average daytime ambulatory SBP \<170 mmHg and 85 mmHg ≤ average daytime ambulatory DBP \< 105 mmHg at secondary screening after the run-in period for at least 4 weeks
