ReCor Medical Announces Results from Landmark RADIANCE-HTN TRIO Study, Showing Clinically Significant Blood Pressure Reduction with the Paradise Ultrasound RDN System in Patients with Resistant Hypertension

May 16, 2021 by Recor Medical

 

May 16, 2021 – Palo Alto, CA.  ReCor Medical, Inc. (“ReCor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Otsuka Medical Devices Co., Ltd., today presented the primary endpoint data from the randomized sham-controlled RADIANCE-HTN TRIO (“TRIO”) study.  In subjects with resistant hypertension, those treated with the ParadiseTM Ultrasound Renal Denervation System had a greater drop in blood pressure than those who received a sham procedure. TRIO results were presented today at the American College of Cardiology meeting (https://accscientificsession.acc.org/) and published simultaneously in The Lancet.

The TRIO study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the Paradise Ultrasound Renal Denervation System in hypertensive patients who were all treated with a single pill containing 3 standardized anti-hypertension medications (a calcium-channel blocker, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, and a thiazide diuretic).  After confirmation of inadequately controlled hypertension despite these medications, patients were then randomly assigned to treatment with the Paradise System or a sham procedure, with no changes to medications through two months.

The study met its primary efficacy endpoint at two months, demonstrating that patients who received Paradise renal denervation had a median reduction of 8.0 mmHg in daytime ambulatory systolic blood pressure, a 4.5 mmHg greater drop as compared with patients who had the sham procedure. Similar reductions were observed in 24-hour blood pressure, nighttime blood pressure, and office blood pressure. In addition, there were no significant differences in adverse events in the renal denervation and sham groups.

“RADIANCE-HTN TRIO is the first study of its kind – a sham-controlled study where all patients were placed on a guideline-recommended regimen of three antihypertensive medications and then confirmed to have hypertension resistant to this regimen,” commented co-principal investigator Ajay J. Kirtane, MD, SM, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.  “These data confirm the blood pressure-lowering effect of the Paradise Ultrasound Renal Denervation System in patients with resistant hypertension.”

“RADIANCE-HTN TRIO had an extremely rigorous study design, executed over a number of years by dozens of committed study centers in the US and Europe,” added co-principal investigator Professor Michel Azizi, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine at Université de Paris, Head of the ESH Hypertension Excellence Center, Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou, Paris, France.  “By lowering blood pressure in resistant hypertensive patients, endovascular ultrasound renal denervation may become a valuable tool in the treatment of hypertension in this broad class of patients in need.”

“ReCor is extremely pleased with the primary outcomes of the RADIANCE-HTN TRIO study, showing the positive treatment effect of the Paradise System,” commented ReCor President & CEO, Andrew M. Weiss.  “ReCor believes that TRIO is a seminal study with the potential to change medical practice for patients who are resistant to oral antihypertensive medications.”

The Paradise System bears the CE mark in Europe and is an investigational device in the United States.  The Paradise System is currently under investigation in the United States and Europe in the FDA IDE RADIANCE-HTN Clinical Study, and in the on-going FDA IDE pivotal study (RADIANCE-II) in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, with anticipated study completion of enrollment in 2021.

Hypertension is the leading contributor to disease burden worldwide, leading to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, poorer quality of life, and increased cost burden to health systems.

ReCor Medical Announces Positive Results in RADIANCE-HTN TRIO Study and Breakthrough Device Designation for Paradise™ Ultrasound Renal Denervation System

December 10, 2020 by Recor Medical

PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — ReCor Medical, Inc. (“ReCor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Otsuka Medical Devices, announced today that its Paradise™ Ultrasound Renal Denervation System (the “Paradise System”) demonstrated positive results in the RADIANCE-HTN TRIO (“TRIO”) study, and, separately, has received Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with uncontrolled hypertension who are inadequately responsive to anti-hypertensive medications.

The RADIANCE-HTN TRIO trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of the Paradise System – a catheter-based system designed to denervate the renal nerves with ultrasound energy – to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients (n=136) wherein all subjects were placed on a single-pill combination-drug containing 3 anti-hypertension medications (a calcium-channel blocker, an angiotensin II-receptor blocker, and a diuretic).  After confirmation of inadequately controlled hypertension despite these medications, patients were then randomly assigned to Paradise System treatment or a sham (placebo) procedure.

The trial met its primary efficacy endpoint of a greater reduction in daytime blood pressure (Daytime ABPM) between baseline and 2-month follow-up with the Paradise System as compared with the sham procedure.

“ReCor is very pleased with the TRIO outcomes, which demonstrate a clear Paradise treatment effect versus sham,” commented President & CEO, Andrew M. Weiss.  “ReCor believes that TRIO is a unique randomized, sham-controlled study in hypertension given the use of single pill triple medication to set a common baseline medication level in all study subjects, thus helping to establish that the Paradise RDN procedure can provide an additional clinical benefit to patients who are resistant to anti-hypertensive medications.”

“The RADIANCE-HTN TRIO results very nicely complement the previously presented RADIANCE-HTN SOLO trial data, now demonstrating efficacy of renal denervation in a higher-risk cohort of patients with treatment-resistant hypertension,” commented co-principal investigator Ajay J. Kirtane MD, SM, Professor of Medicine at the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.  “On behalf of my co-principal investigator Professor Michel Azizi and the entire steering committee, I would like to thank the study patients, investigators, and coordinators from more than 50 study centers in 7 countries who gave so much of themselves in order to complete this rigorously conducted trial, especially in the throes of a pandemic. We eagerly look forward to fully presenting and publishing the data in the near future.”

Additional, detailed analyses are being prepared for presentation and publication in 2021.

Separately, ReCor received notice from the US FDA that the Paradise System has been granted designation as a Breakthrough Device for the treatment of hypertensive patients who may not be sufficiently responsive, or are intolerant, to anti-hypertensive medical therapy. The FDA Breakthrough Devices Program is intended to help patients receive more timely access to breakthrough medical technologies that have the potential to provide more effective treatment for life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions. Under the program, the FDA will provide ReCor with priority review and interactive communication during the premarket review process.

“ReCor is pleased that the FDA granted the Breakthrough Designation to the Paradise System,” commented Leslie Coleman, Vice President of Regulatory and Medical Affairs at ReCor. “ReCor believes that Paradise is truly innovative and has the potential to provide an important and innovative therapy option to hypertensive patients worldwide.”

The Paradise System is an investigational device in the United States and has been studied in two FDA IDE clinical trials, RADIANCE-SOLO and RADIANCE-TRIO. ReCor is currently conducting an FDA IDE pivotal study (RADIANCE-II HTN) in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

Hypertension is one of the leading contributors to disease burden worldwide, leading to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, poorer quality of life, and increased cost burden to health systems.

ReCor update on the RADIANCE Clinical Program

June 23, 2020 by Recor Medical

The purpose of this note is to provide an update on the status of the RADIANCE Clinical Program, including RADIANCE-HTN SOLO, RADIANCE-HTN TRIO and RADIANCE-II.

At the point of enrollment suspension, we had randomized 95 patients in our RADIANCE-II pivotal trial. We are excited that many of our centers are now taking the first steps to resume clinical trial activity, and we are working with each individual site to begin enrollment in a responsible and efficient manner. We anticipate that RADIANCE-II will restart in Q3, with a goal to complete enrollment within 2021.

We are also excited to announce that thanks to your persistence and continued support, enrollment is now complete in the TRIO cohort of RADIANCE-HTN. This study has been evaluating patients with treatment resistant hypertension – a population that we strongly believe needs alternatives to medication therapy. The conclusion of enrollment means that we are now one step closer to understanding the impact of ultrasound-based renal denervation in this important population. Many of you have been on this journey with us since 2016, so thank you for your partnership throughout this time.

Finally, we wanted to highlight ReCor’s presence at this year’s PCR e-course. First, Dr. Ajay Kirtane will present results from the RADIANCE-HTN SOLO cohort crossover patient population during a Late-Breaker Clinical Trial session on Friday, June 26th at 14:00 CEST/ 8:00 EDT. Second, Dr. Kirtane and Profs. Azizi and Mahfoud will lead an online symposium that will further review the crossover data, as well as how it adds to the growing body of evidence supporting renal denervation. Third, Dr. Philipp Lurz will discuss his experience with the various renal denervation therapies and what he considers to be the benefits of an ultrasound-based approach.

We are excited with all the progress that has been made in this field, none of which would have been possible without your help. We remain committed to high quality product development efforts and rigorous clinical studies in order to create a strong foundation for future clinical adoption.

How ReCor Medical is Taking Action to Confront Racism

June 22, 2020 by Recor Medical

To Our Friends and Colleagues,

The Team at ReCor Medical believes that, in light of the horrific death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests it triggered around the United States and the world, we have a responsibility to publicly support our core values of mutual respect and social justice.

First – the core values at ReCor are based on mutual respect and care for all people – irrespective of race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, wealth or health status. Here in the United States, the death of Mr. Floyd is a stark reminder of the threat of institutional racism – especially to our Black fellow citizens – within our policing and judicial systems, within our systems of education, housing, and healthcare, and to the basic rights of safety, personal growth and liberty. As a pluralistic, civil democracy, we must do better: the responsibility of the majority is to care for the rights of the minorities. We can do more.

Second – we at ReCor believe that we are all members of our civil society, and that we all share responsibility to develop a more just society, where all people share the basic civil rights of housing, education, justice, fair policing, freedom of thought and expression, and access to healthcare. Healthcare access is especially relevant to the ReCor team, as innovation in healthcare is how we have chosen to devote our professional lives. We believe that healthcare access is a matter of social justice – and includes preventative care, mental healthcare, specialty care, long term care, geriatric care and more. Access to healthcare should be for all members of our society, independent of wealth, location and health status.

Third – we at ReCor are a diverse team of people from around the world. We work hard to promote mutual respect, integrity and fairness in our company. We are committed to further support social justice, with specific focus in the United States on the Black and Hispanic communities. We will seek numerous paths, including to advocate for social justice and healthcare access, to build opportunity paths for the under-served, to adjust our hiring practices to build diverse candidate slates, and to develop enhanced awareness of unconscious bias within our team.

In short – we at ReCor support the protestors around the world who have peacefully demonstrated for equal justice, civil rights and opportunity for all people.

We support you. We seek to do our part.

ReCor Medical Announces 6 Month On-Medication Results from RADIANCE-HTN SOLO Clinical Trial and the First Randomization in the RADIANCE-II Pivotal Study

March 17, 2019 by tracyrodriguez

March 17, 2019 – Palo Alto, CA, for immediate release – ReCor Medical, Inc. (“ReCor”) announced the 6 month “on-medication” results from its RADIANCE-HTN SOLO clinical trial with simultaneous publication in Circulation, and the first randomization of patients in its RADIANCE-II pivotal trial of its Paradise Renal Denervation System for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension.

Today at the ACC Meeting in New Orleans, Co-principal Investigator Ajay Kirtane presented the 6 Month “on-meds” results from the RADIANCE-HTN SOLO study cohort in which, following the positive 2-month “off-meds” blood pressure primary outcome, patients remained blinded to treatment assignment and were put back on medications following a recommended, pre-set, stepped care, medical titration protocol. The results demonstrated that patients treated with the ReCor Paradise Ultrasound Denervation System were prescribed fewer anti-hypertensive medications than those treated with a sham procedure, and accounting for this difference, treated patients had greater blood pressure drops than those in the sham arm. Dr Kirtane additionally noted that at 6 months the blood-pressure lowering effect of the Paradise System was maintained and that there were no major adverse events.

“Professor Michel Azizi (Paris, France), my Co-PI for the RADIANCE-HTN study, the RADIANCE-HTN Steering Committee and I are very pleased to report the 6 month “onmeds”results from the SOLO cohort of the study”, commented Dr. Kirtane (Associate Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center). “These results are unique in that they represent blinded randomized data demonstrating that ultrasound renal denervation may have the potential to serve as an important adjunct to medications to lower blood pressure. We believe that in addition to the previously presented SOLO results in patients who were “off” medications, these new data contribute to the growing body of evidence demonstrating that the Paradise System can lower blood pressure, either alone or in combination with anti-hypertensive medications. If confirmed in the larger and ongoing RADIANCE II trial, this therapy would have the potential to help patients and physicians reach their blood pressure goals – something that is frequently not achieved in clinical practice.”

“ReCor is encouraged by the SOLO 6 month outcome data as it is the first randomized, blinded, sham-controlled evidence of the effectiveness of the Paradise renal denervation system in combination with added anti-hypertensive medication. These data demonstrate the 6 month durability of the blood pressure lowering effect of the Paradise renal denervation system, either alone or in combination with medications,” commented CEO Andrew M. Weiss. “We are also excited that we have begun to randomize subjects in our RADIANCE-II pivotal study, which we plan to complete in 2020. The combination of our independent, blinded and sham-controlled RADIANCE-HTN SOLO and TRIO studies, the REQUIRE study being run in Japan and Korea, and our pivotal RADIANCE-II study will provide safety and efficacy outcomes on more than 600 patients, covering a broad range of patients with hypertension. If successful, we hope that, in the future, these studies may support an important new treatment option for millions of hypertensive patients worldwide.”

ReCor Medical Announces RADIANCE-HTN SOLO Hypertension Study Meets Primary Efficacy Endpoint, Pivotal Study Submission, and New Principal Investigator

May 23, 2018 by tracyrodriguez

Note: original press release first appeared on PCRonline.com 

 

May 23, 2018 – Palo Alto, CA, for immediate release – ReCor Medical announced today that the RADIANCE-HTN SOLO study met its primary efficacy endpoint and demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in blood pressure in hypertensive patients.  In addition, the company announced submission of an IDE supplement to the US FDA for a pivotal study of its Paradise System for the treatment of hypertension, and that Prof. Ajay Kirtane of New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University has taken the role of Co-Principal Investigator for RADIANCE-HTN.

Data presented at EuroPCR 2018, with simultaneous publication in The Lancet, showed that RADIANCE-HTN SOLO met its primary efficacy endpoint.  SOLO demonstrated a difference in ambulatory daytime systolic blood pressure changes between treatment and sham at 2 months of -6.3 mm Hg (p-value of 0.0001) with no major adverse events.  Additional endpoints including office, home, and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure levels, and the percentage of patients with controlled blood pressure at 2 months were also improved in the Paradise group relative to sham.

“We are pleased with the outcomes of the RADIANCE-HTN SOLO trial,” commented co-Principal Investigator Prof. Laura Mauri, Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Boston, USA. “We believe that SOLO was designed and conducted in a rigorous manner. In patients with mild to moderate hypertension, previously treated with up to two medications and randomized while off medications, the Paradise System reduced blood pressure in comparison to a sham control.  In addition, the procedure was performed with an average ablation time of less than one minute and demonstrated a positive safety profile both acutely and at 30-day follow-up.”

Prof. Michel Azizi, Hôpital Européen Georges-Pompidou, Paris, France, Co-PI, commented, “The SOLO investigators are satisfied with the clinical outcomes in the study.  At 2-months, more than 66% of subjects treated with renal denervation experienced a 5 mmHg or greater reduction in daytime ambulatory systolic blood pressure, compared with 33% in the sham group.  RADIANCE-HTN SOLO also demonstrated a reduction in office blood pressure of 10 mmHg systolic, which if durable over time, has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke and heart attack, in patients with hypertension.  The RADIANCE-HTN research program is ongoing, with extended follow-up for the SOLO patients and continued enrollment of the TRIO cohort patients with resistant hypertension.  Our goal is to demonstrate the effectiveness, safety, and durability of renal denervation in both important patient populations.”

“ReCor and the investigator teams are aware of the large potential patient population who may be interested in Paradise as a device-based hypertension therapy. An early indicator of this is the more than 500,000 people who sought information about the RADIANCE-HTN study,” commented Founder & COO, Mano Iyer.

ReCor also announced today that the company submitted a new protocol to the US FDA for a pivotal study: an independently-powered, sham-controlled, efficacy study of the Paradise System in patients with hypertension.

“We are very pleased with the progress of the RADIANCE program to assess the Paradise System as a potential treatment for hypertension.  Given the positive results from SOLO and the high level of interest from patients in the US and Europe for device-based hypertension therapy, we are encouraged to continue our work,” commented CEO Andrew M. Weiss.  “As Prof. Mauri is leaving her clinical position at Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston – and thus her role as co-PI – we have invited Prof. Kirtane to fill her role.  We thank Prof. Mauri for her leadership and support during the past 3 years, and welcome Prof. Kirtane to join Prof. Azizi as co-PI.”

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 17, 2018 / — ReCor Medical announced today that it will present the primary outcomes data from the SOLO study of its RADIANCE Global Clinical Trial Program of the Paradise™  Ultrasound Renal Denervation System for patients with hypertension during the Late Breaker Sessions at the EuroPCR 2018 Meeting in Paris on 23 May.

The RADIANCE Global Clinical Trial Program includes RADIANCE-HTN, ReCor’s randomized study of the Paradise Renal Denervation System in hypertensive patients in the US and Europe and the REQUIRE study of the Paradise System in resistant hypertensive patients in Japan and Korea.  RADIANCE-HTN involves two study Cohorts: “SOLO” –  whose subjects studied in the absence of anti-hypertensive medications, and “TRIO” – whose subjects are studied on a standardized anti-hypertensive medication.  Both Cohorts are randomized, blinded, sham-controlled, and independently powered for efficacy.  Randomization of the RADIANCE-HTN SOLO cohort study was completed in December, 2017, while the TRIO cohort is currently enrolling in 35 centers in the US and Europe.

The SOLO Cohort primary results will be presented during the Late Breaker Sessions at EuroPCR on May 23rd in Paris, France, by Co-Principal Investigator Laura Mauri, MD, MSc, Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA.  In addition, ReCor Medical is sponsoring an RDN Symposium on the same day, with additional analysis, technical review and initial assessment of clinical impact of the SOLO results provided by Michel Azizi, MD, George Pompidou Medical Center (co-PI); Felix Mahfoud, MD, University Hospital Saarland; Roland Schmieder, MD, University Hospital Erlangen; Ajay Kirtane, MD, Columbia University Medical Center and Dr. Mauri.

“We are very pleased to be able to present the SOLO primary outcome data at the EuroPCR meeting, and to have such a distinguished panel of hypertension specialists and cardiologists review the potential impact of the Paradise System in the treatment of hypertension,” commented Andrew M. Weiss, ReCor, President & CEO. “During the past two years more than 500,000 patients sought information about the RADIANCE-HTN study – a strong indication of patient interest in device-based hypertension treatment.  With the completion of the primary outcome phase of our SOLO study, and continued progress in the TRIO cohort of RADIANCE-HTN, we are optimistic about the continued progress of study of the Paradise System, to support the potential for future clinical use.”

ReCor Medical Announces Completion of RADIANCE-HTN SOLO Hypertension Study

January 5, 2018 by maureensharkey

January 5, 2018 – Palo Alto, CA, for immediate release, – ReCor Medical announced today randomization of its 146th, and final, subject in the SOLO cohort of its RADIANCE-HTN study.  RADIANCE-HTN, ReCor’s study of its Paradise Renal Denervation System in people with hypertension, involves two study cohorts: “SOLO” – whose subjects are removed from anti-hypertensive medication, and “TRIO” whose subjects are put on standardized medication.  Both cohorts are randomized, blinded, sham-controlled, and powered independently for efficacy.

The RADIANCE-HTN 40 study centers – located in the US, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK – enrolled 1,000 and randomized 165 study subjects in 2017.  The final SOLO subject was randomized at Massachusetts General Hospital, under the lead of Joseph Garasic, MD, interventional cardiologist and Randall Zusman, MD, Director of the MGH Hypertension Clinic.

Completion of the SOLO cohort of RADIANCE marks the largest blinded, sham-controlled, randomized and powered clinical study of renal denervation in an “off-meds” study design.  Lead enrollers were Yale Wang, MD, at the Minneapolis Heart Center; Florian Rader, MD at Cedars Sinai, Los Angeles; Melvin Lobo, MD, at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London; and Joost Daemen, MD, at the Erasmus Heart Center, Rotterdam, NL.

“Leaders in the hypertension field understand that patients struggle to persevere with multi-drug regimens required to attain and maintain target blood pressure levels over their lifetimes.  The completion of enrollment into the SOLO arm of RADIANCE-HTN is highly significant as this cohort represents the vast majority of hypertensive patients,” commented Melvin Lobo, MD, Director of Barts BP Center of Excellence at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London.  “If SOLO proves positive, then there may be a pathway, with additional study, to a reduction of medications, increased longer-term therapeutic options, and improved blood pressure control for our patients.”

“ReCor is very pleased to have finished the SOLO cohort of RADIANCE-HTN in record time.  It is a testimony to the interest of patients, and to the support of our study centers in the US and Europe,” commented Helen Reeve-Stoffer, ReCor Medical, VP Clinical Affairs.  “Given the 60-day time point for the SOLO primary efficacy measure, ReCor anticipates outcome analysis and associated publications starting mid-year in 2018.”
