Insights

The SPYRAL HTN-ON MED trial results demonstrate significant clinical progress for Medtronic's Symplicity™ Spyral renal denervation system. The two-year data shows compelling efficacy with a -12.1% reduction in 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure for the RDN group versus -7.0% for sham, representing a meaningful -5.7% treatment difference (p=0.039).

The expansion of clinical programs through SPYRAL GEMINI and GSR-DEFINE trials indicates strong commercial potential and market positioning. The multi-organ denervation approach could potentially create a new treatment paradigm for uncontrolled hypertension, expanding the addressable market significantly. With approval in over 75 countries, positive long-term data could accelerate market adoption and revenue growth.

This development strengthens Medtronic's position in the interventional hypertension market. The positive long-term data and expanded clinical programs could drive market penetration in the global hypertension treatment space, valued at over $30 billion. With hypertension affecting nearly 1.3 billion people worldwide, the commercial opportunity is substantial.

The multi-organ denervation approach through SPYRAL GEMINI represents a potential competitive advantage, as Medtronic's intellectual property and catheter design uniquely position them to explore this innovative treatment method. This could lead to increased market share and revenue growth in the cardiovascular portfolio segment.

Company commits to advancing clinical data for Symplicity™ with the SPYRAL Gemini clinical trial and expansion of the GSR-DEFINE clinical trial

GALWAY, Ireland and WASHINGTON, Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced new, long-term data from its SPYRAL HTN-ON MED clinical trial that showed subjects who underwent radiofrequency renal denervation with the Symplicity™ Spyral renal denervation (RDN) system had significantly greater reductions in 24-hr ambulatory systolic blood pressure (ABPM), and office-based systolic blood pressure (OSBP) compared to sham patients at two years. The data were presented as a part of the 2024 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics Conference (TCT).

"These findings are a key step toward informing the medical community of the long-term effectiveness with radiofrequency renal denervation as a treatment for uncontrolled hypertension," stated Dr. David Kandzari, Chief of Piedmont Heart Institute and Cardiovascular Services and lead principal investigator of the SPYRAL HTN-ON MED trial. "Importantly, at two years, we continue to see Symplicity is safe and consistent with clinically meaningful and significant blood pressure reductions. These data further substantiate sustained blood pressure reductions consistently observed in across the SPYRAL and Global Symplicity clinical programs."

The two-year data is consistent with other long-term data for Symplicity RDN, demonstrating clinically meaningful, consistent and sustained blood pressure reductions.1,2 At two years, the data showed:

  • Significant group differences in 24-hr ABPM and OSBP in favor of RDN, despite significantly more medications detected in the sham group
    • 24 months ABPM: -12.1 mmHg in RDN group vs. -7.0 mmHg in sham group (treatment difference: -5.7 mmHg; p=0.039) 
    • OSBP: -17.4 mmHg in the RDN group vs. -9.0 mmHg in the sham group (treatment difference: -8.7 mmHg; p=0.0034)
  • Long-term safety with no confirmed renal artery stenosis greater than 70% in the Spyral group at two years

SPYRAL HTN-ON MED is a global, randomized, sham-controlled trial investigating the blood pressure lowering effect and safety of RDN with the radiofrequency-based Symplicity Spyral RDN system in hypertensive patients who have been prescribed up to three anti-hypertensive medications. After the six-month primary endpoint assessment, the study continued to assess 24-hr ABPM and OSBP from baseline through yearly follow ups.

SPYRAL GEMINI Clinical Program
Medtronic intends to investigate multi-organ (hepatic artery and renal artery) denervation with the Symplicity Spyral catheter. The planned Global Pilot study of rEnal and hepatic coMbINed denervatIon (SPYRAL GEMINI pilot study) will investigate the safety and efficacy of the multi-organ ablation approach in uncontrolled hypertension patients who are both on and off medications.  

"Medtronic is uniquely positioned to explore the blood pressure lowering potential of multi-organ denervation. This is supported by both its intellectual property and the Symplicity Spyral catheter design, which enables access and treatment of the Common Hepatic Artery - a vascular target rich with sympathetic innervation - with the same single catheter," said Jason Weidman, senior vice president and president of the Coronary and Renal Denervation business within the Cardiovascular Portfolio at Medtronic. "The promising preclinical data highlight the potential for interventional denervation in the liver to support additional blood pressure lowering effects of the procedure.3 This approach underscores our dedication to innovation for both patients and physicians."

The utilization of Symplicity Spyral in the hepatic artery is investigational and not approved for use.

GSR-DEFINE Expands to the United States
Medtronic will also expand the GSR-DEFINE clinical trial to sites in the United States. The GSR-DEFINE trial is an extension of the Global SYMPLICITY Registry, and is a prospective, all-comer observational study in 251 sites across 55 countries, including 3,000 patients from the GSR study and enrolling up to an additional 2,000 patients globally.

"This year at TCT, we are not only reinforcing the consistent, long-term effects of radiofrequency denervation, but we're further demonstrating our commitment to evidence generation and innovation," said Jason Fontana, PhD, general manager Renal Denervation, and vice president of Global Marketing for the Coronary and Renal Denervation business. "As the leader in interventional hypertension treatments, we are excited to extend the largest evidence platform available to U.S. physicians and their patients."

Approved for commercial use in over 75 countries around the world, the Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system is currently limited to investigational use in Japan.
