Study summary

The DERENEDIAB study is a proof-of-concept, multi-center, prospective, open, randomized, controlled study of the effectiveness of renal denervation in addition to standardized medical treatment compared to medical treatment alone in diabetic subjects with diabetic nephropathy and resistant proteinuria. Bilateral renal denervation will be performed using the Symplicity Catheter - a percutaneous system that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy through the luminal surface of the renal artery.

    Patients are maintained on standardized anti-proteinuric medications

    Drug: Standardized antiproteinuric medication regimen includes an angiotensin receptor blocker , a diuretic , 25OH vitamin D3 and a statin

Interventions

  • ProcedurePercutaneous renal denervation and TMNS

    Patients are treated with the renal denervation procedure after randomization and are maintained on standardized anti-proteinuric medications

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. proteinuria/creatininuria ratio

    Time frame: from baseline to 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of patients with a decrease of the PU/CrU >50% ratio

    Time frame: from baseline to 1 year

  2. Evaluation of the slope of decay of the PU/CrU

    Time frame: from baseline to 1 year

  3. eGFR is estimated by the MDRD formula, and is expressed in mL/min/1.73m². The direct GFR will be assessed by measuring the 51Cr-EDTA plasmatic clearance

    eGFR is estimated by the MDRD formula, and is expressed in mL/min/1.73m². The direct GFR will be assessed by measuring the 51Cr-EDTA plasmatic clearance

    Time frame: from baseline to 1 year

  4. Outcome of the GFR assessed by 51Cr-EDTA clearance

    Only in the experimental arm

    Time frame: from randomisation to 1 year

  5. Decrease of the blood pressure assessed on ABPM

    Time frame: From randomisation to 1 year

  6. Anti-hypertensive regimen score

    Time frame: from baseline to 1 year

  7. Evaluation of the renal arterial anatomy

    in the experimental group:number of principal renal artery. Should be 1/ kidney of at least 4mm diameter and 10mm long. One accessory artery is acceptable if \<

    Time frame: from baseline to 1 year

  8. Evaluation of safety and tolerance of renal denervation in diabetic patients with overt proteinuria

    in the experimental group:Occurrence of adverse events: acute renal failure, damage on the renal artery (dissection, perforation, thrombosis), allergy to the contrast media, worsening of any dysautonomia

    Time frame: from baseline to 1 year

  9. Evaluate the outcome of biological parameters

    eGFR (MDRD formula), proteinuria/creatininuria ratio

    Time frame: from baseline to 1 year

  10. Evaluate the diabetic neuropathy/dysautonomy

    in the experimental:blood pressure in orthostatism, pulse wave velocimetry, RR interval on the Holter ECG, cutaneous baroreflex

    Time frame: from randomisation to 1 year

  11. Evaluate the outcome of specific kidney injury markers

    in the experimental group:urinary levels of KIM1 and NGAL before and 1 year after the denervation

    Time frame: from randomisation to 1 year
