Detailed Study Protocol Parameters |
Study Objectives |
The post-approval study is an open, non-randomized, multi-center study in 149 children older than 1 year of age using new data collection.
|
Study Population |
Study population is as per device indication: This device is indicated for treatment of children with vesicoureterarle flux (VUR) grades1 11-IVW
|
Sample Size |
The sample size is 149 patients using Deflux. There will be approximately 10-15 sites with each center having approximately 15 patients.
|
Key Study Endpoints |
The primary outcome is grade of reflux according to the VCUG at 3 months after last treatment. The grading is performed by a non-treating physician. Secondary efficacy variable is absence of febrile UTI. There will be 8 visits, including screening, baseline, 3 months, 12 months and once annually for years 2-5. Subjects will be seen by a physician at these time points
|
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up |
There are 6 scheduled follow up visits after the treatment visit. The length of follow up is 5 years.
|
Interim or Final Data Summary |
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled |
165 Subjects
|
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled |
12 Sites
|
Patient Follow-up Rate |
18.8% (31/165)
|
Final Safety Findings |
Treatment-emergent adverse events were experienced by 60% of subjects with most events rated as mild or moderate in intensity. The most common TEAEs were urinary tract infection (18%) and micturition urgency (12%). 12% of subjects experienced TEAEs related to the injection or device and 7% experienced a serious TEAE.
|
Final Effect Findings |
Success rate for the primary effectiveness endpoint (Vesico Ureteral Reflux grade at UCUG at 3 months after Deflux treatment) was 66.1% (95% CI 58.3% to 73.2%).
|
Study Strengths & Weaknesses |
Strengths of this study include a prospective design of adequate sample size for evaluation of the short-term (3-month) primary effectiveness endpoint. The main limitation is the low 5-year follow-up rate of 18.8%. However, evaluation of longer-term safety was addressed in an extensive systematic review of the available literature.
|
Recommendations for Labeling Changes |
Labeling changes are recommended based on the safety and effectiveness results of the post- approval study and the longer-term safety of Deflux described in the systematic literature review.
