CALM-2 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new heart device to see if it is safe and effective. The study will compare the new device to a fake (sham) device.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with high blood pressure that's stayed high (145-200 mmHg) despite taking up to 5 different blood pressure meds, including a specific combo of an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker, calcium channel blocker, and diuretic. People can't join if their carotid artery anatomy isn't right for the MobiusHD device based on special X-ray tests.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The CALM-2 study is testing how safe and effective the MobiusHD System is at lowering blood pressure compared to a fake procedure. Participants won't know which one they get in this controlled study where treatments are assigned randomly.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, potential side effects may include discomfort or complications from implantation procedures, reactions to the device itself once placed inside the body, and any impacts it might have on blood flow or heart function.
