Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with systolic BP ≥140 mmHg on maximally tolerated diuretic-based therapy plus two other antihypertensives who were implanted with BAROSTIM NEO within the prior 30 days.

Probably not a fit

Patients with carotid bifurcations above the mandible, baroreflex failure, autonomic neuropathy, certain bradyarrhythmias, or significant carotid artery disease may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This observational registry enrolls up to 500 adults who recently received the BAROSTIM NEO device for resistant hypertension at up to 50 sites. Data are collected from routine clinical measurements before implant, at baseline, and at 3, 6, and 12 months post-implant, with follow-up every six months for up to three years. The study aims to track blood pressure and safety outcomes in the commercial setting after implantation under CE-Mark indications. Participation requires informed consent and adherence to device-specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the registry could provide real-world insights into how BAROSTIM therapy performs in patients with resistant hypertension.

How similar studies have gone: Previous observational data on BAROSTIM in resistant hypertension have shown signal of BP changes, but this registry provides contemporary, real-world evidence in the CE-Marked indication.
